1. What is personal data?

Personal data is information which can be used to find out details about your personal or financial situation. Information which cannot (unless a disproportionate effort is made) be used to establish a link to you, e.g. by the use of pseudonyms or by making information anonymous, is not regarded as personal data.

2. Which data do we store and use?

You can use some of our online services without giving any information about your identity. However if you want to join our community, our forums or affiliate programs, if you want to use particular personal services such as wish list, or if you want to place an order, we will ask you for your name and other personal information. This may also apply if you want to participate in one of our competitions and your data is needed to inform you if you have won or to ensure that you get your prize. You can decide yourself whether or not to provide this data. However, without it, we cannot offer you the service you require or the service may be available only to a limited extent

In the process of retrieving your desired information our servers store data for service delivery or security purposes, which may enable you to be identified (for example IP address, date, time and pages visited). This is deleted as soon as it is not longer needed.
