Privacy policy
The importance of your privacy and how we deal with it
Based on the new European privacy law GDPR / AVG, we have updated our privacy policy and cookie policy. This is, among other things, to provide insight into the personal data we collect from you and for what purposes we use them.
Four privacy promises
We prefer to collect as little data as possible from you. In some cases this is sometimes necessary, for example to deliver your order or to ask you what you think of our website? Lighting Solutions treats your data carefully and ensures that your privacy is guaranteed.
For this we have drawn up four privacy promises:
1. Protect: We protect your personal information as if it were our own.
2. Uses: We only use your personal information for the purposes described in this privacy statement.
3. Storage: we will not keep your data longer than is necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this privacy statement.
4. Sharing: we never share your personal information with other parties without good reason.
Which personal data does Lighting Solutions process?
Because you have ordered something from us, we need the following address information from you.
Name and address
We store your name. We need your address and place of residence, among other things, for the preparation of invoices, in order to contact you.
Company details
We ask you to fill in your (company) name and business address when you purchase our products from a company.
E-mail address
We save your email address to send you important messages about your order. We can also use your e-mail address to keep you up-to-date via newsletters about new developments and offers at Lighting Solutions. You can of course always unsubscribe.
phone number
We use your telephone number to contact you if something goes wrong or if we need more information from you to complete your order.
IP address
we store your IP address to be able to indicate to you, on request, from which IP address is logged into your account or from which changes have been made. This address is also used to better protect your account against unauthorized access from other locations.
Payment details
We store payment details after a successful order. Examples include your PayPal and credit card details, your account number and your name as an account holder. We also use other parties to process payments, such as credit card companies and external payment platforms.
