  • Technical and usage information: IP address, browser and device information, security logs and, depending on your consent choices, website interactions and cookie identifiers.

We collect information directly from you, automatically through the website and, where relevant, from payment providers, delivery partners and marketplaces through which you purchase our products.

Why do we use your personal data

Orders payments and delivery

We use your contact, order and payment-related information to process purchases, arrange delivery, provide order updates and handle returns or refunds.

The legal basis is the performance of a contract with you or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Where you represent a business customer, we process your professional contact details based on our legitimate interest in managing that business relationship, under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Information required to complete an order is identified during checkout. Without that information, we may be unable to process your purchase or arrange delivery.

Customer accounts

If you create an account, we use your account information to provide and administer that service.

The legal basis is the performance of the account service agreement under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Protecting accounts against unauthorised access is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining security under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Enquiries complaints and warranties

We use relevant information to answer questions, resolve complaints, assess product issues and provide after-sales support.

Depending on the request, the legal basis is taking pre-contractual steps or performing a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, complying with consumer protection obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, or our legitimate interest in resolving disputes and establishing, exercising or defending legal claims under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Accounting and legal obligations

We process transaction and invoice information to meet applicable accounting, tax and other statutory requirements.

The legal basis is compliance with legal obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Website security

We use relevant technical information to investigate faults, prevent unauthorised access and detect misuse or fraud.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in protecting our website, customers and business under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This does not replace any consent required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Website analytics and advertising

With your consent, we use non-essential analytics and advertising technologies to understand website usage, improve the shopping experience, measure campaigns and personalise advertising.

The legal basis for the related personal data processing is consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Newsletters and marketing communications

When you subscribe, we use your email address and relevant preferences to send the marketing communications you have requested.

You do not need to subscribe to purchase our products.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a marketing email or contacting sale@timbela.com. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending information necessary to fulfil your order, such as payment or delivery updates.

We retain appropriate consent records and limited unsubscribe information to demonstrate compliance and respect your preferences.

Who receives your personal data

Where necessary for the purposes described above, we disclose relevant information to:

  • delivery companies and logistics partners;
  • payment service providers and banks;
  • website hosting, IT support and security providers;
  • customer service, accounting and email delivery providers;
  • analytics and advertising providers, subject to your consent where required;
  • professional advisers, public authorities and dispute resolution bodies where disclosure is necessary or legally required.

Providers processing personal data on our behalf are subject to appropriate contractual data protection obligations.

Some recipients, such as payment providers or marketplaces, may act as independent controllers for their own processing. Their privacy notices explain those activities.

International transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area, including through remote access from another country.

Where this occurs, we use an applicable GDPR transfer mechanism, such as a European Commission adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, together with additional safeguards where necessary.

 

You can contact sale@timbela.com for information about the applicable safeguards and how to obtain a copy, subject to protection of confidential information and other people’s rights.

How long do we keep personal data

We retain personal data for the period needed for its purpose, taking account of legal obligations, warranty commitments and applicable limitation periods.

Different parts of the same order record may have different retention periods.

Where information is needed for an ongoing dispute or a specific legal obligation, we retain the necessary part until that requirement ends.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We may also use pixels, local storage and other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device.

Strictly necessary technologies

These support services you request, such as maintaining a shopping basket, account authentication and remembering your cookie choices.

Consent is not required where the technology meets the legal conditions for the strictly necessary exemption.

Functional technologies

These remember optional preferences or enable additional features. Where they are not strictly necessary, we request consent before using them.

Analytics technologies

These help us understand website visits, navigation and interactions so that we can improve the website.

Advertising technologies

These help measure advertising performance, personalise advertisements and recognise previous website visitors for remarketing.

Non-essential technologies are used only after the relevant consent has been given.

Your choices

Our cookie controls allow you to accept all non-essential categories, reject them or choose categories individually. Non-essential categories are not selected in advance.

You can continue shopping without accepting non-essential tracking.

You can change or withdraw your consent through “Cookie settings” on the website www.timbela.com. Withdrawal stops the relevant consent-based tracking and does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

You can also delete or block cookies in your browser. Blocking all cookies may prevent essential functions, such as the shopping basket or login, from working correctly.

Cookie register

The register provides the name, provider, domain, purpose, category and lifetime of each cookie or similar technology, together with whether consent is required.

Analytics advertising and embedded content

Google Analytics and Google Ads

Google Analytics helps us analyse website usage. Google Ads technologies help measure advertising performance and support remarketing.

Depending on the enabled features and your consent choices, processing may include page views, interactions, purchase events and online identifiers.

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Meta advertising technologies

Meta technologies help measure campaign results and support personalised advertising and remarketing, subject to your consent where required.

Meta Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand website interactions through behavioural analysis, heatmaps and session replay. Microsoft Advertising supports advertising measurement and remarketing.

Relevant data may include page views, clicks, scrolling, device information and online identifiers.

Non-essential tracking is subject to your consent. Simply visiting or continuing to browse our website does not constitute that consent.

Microsoft Privacy Statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

Embedded content

Our website may include videos or other content supplied by third parties, such as YouTube. Loading that content may disclose information to the provider and activate its technologies.

Where consent is required, the content or associated non-essential tracking is activated only after the relevant choice has been made. The provider’s privacy notice explains its own processing.

Your data protection rights

Subject to the conditions in the GDPR, you may:

  • access your personal data and obtain a copy;
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request erasure or restriction of processing;
  • receive data you provided in a portable format where processing is automated and based on consent or a contract;
  • object, on grounds relating to your situation, to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • object at any time to direct marketing, including related profiling;
  • withdraw consent at any time;
  • complain to a competent supervisory authority.

These rights are not limited to registered users or people who have left comments.

Contact sale@timbela.com to make a request. Where reasonably necessary, we may ask for proportionate information to verify your identity.

We normally respond within one month. Where permitted because of complexity or the number of requests, we may extend this by two further months and explain the extension within the first month.

Requests are generally free of charge. Any fee or refusal will be limited to circumstances allowed by the GDPR.

You may complain to the Lithuanian State Data Protection Inspectorate, https://vdai.lrv.lt, or the competent authority in your place of habitual residence, work or the alleged infringement.

Security

We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risks, including access controls and arrangements for handling security incidents.

Please protect your account credentials and contact us if you suspect unauthorised use.

Changes to this policy

We update this policy when our processing activities or applicable requirements change. The current version and its update date are published on this page.

Where a change requires new consent, updating this policy does not replace the need to obtain it.
