Protection of Personal Data

Personal data refers to the information collected by Walde AS for providing services, identifying individuals, contacting individuals for service provision, or resolving inquiries. Walde AS does not process sensitive personal data as defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR). Walde AS is committed to protecting the personal data and privacy of customers and users. Walde AS's online activities comply with all relevant activities and the respective laws of the European Union and the Republic of Estonia, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Walde AS implements all precautions (including administrative, technical, and physical measures) to protect the collected personal data. Access to modify and process data is limited to individuals authorized by Walde AS.

Security

All personal data obtained during visits to Walde AS websites and in service environments for purchases are treated as confidential information. Encrypted data communication with banks ensures the security of the purchaser's personal data and bank details.

Walde AS's privacy policy principles cover the collection, processing, use, disclosure, transmission, modification, forgetting, and deletion of personal data.

These principles do not apply to the processing of data of legal persons and other companies/institutions, nor do they cover the processing of personal data on websites/service environments linked on our websites/service environments (external links). The individual representing the company (as the service subscriber) is not a natural person; they are an authorized representative of the legal entity, and the processing of their personal data is not regulated by Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

1. What data is collected?

When visiting websites, non-personalized technical data about the visitor is collected. In addition to technical data, service environments collect personal data for providing services and identifying individuals. Technical data is limited to the internet address (IP address) of the computer or computer network used, the web browser of the computer, and the operating system software version, along with the visit time (hour, date, year). In service environments where it is an additional security measure, IP addresses are not associated with personally identifiable information.

Data is collected about website visits and stays to improve and make websites and service environments more convenient for visitors.

In service environments (including the online store), personal data is collected for the performance of contracts and for information related to individuals' interests (such as shopping cart contents, preferences, attitudes, behaviors, etc.) to improve the delivery of relevant information and thereby enhance the customer experience in consuming services and conducting direct marketing. For natural persons, the collected data may include, if necessary for identification purposes, the personal identification code, name for communication, email address, mobile phone, location city, and country. For legal persons, data is collected for processing, including registration number, VAT number, name, country, address, email addresses for communication and invoice sending, names of individuals representing the company, and their email addresses and contact numbers.

When paying for services by credit card or via a bank link, encrypted data communication with banks is used to ensure the security of the Consumer's personal banking credentials, and Walde AS does not have access to them.

Consent for the collection of related and necessary personal data for the service is given by the customer upon ordering the service at the time of placing the order. Consent is considered given with the corresponding timestamp upon ordering the service.

2. How long are collected data retained?

Non-personalized technical data collected from websites and service environments is retained indefinitely. Personalized data related to queries and/or transactions is retained for up to 7 years from the last interaction with the service provider, in accordance with the obligation to document transactions under the Accounting Act. Interaction includes, among other things, responding to direct marketing through viewing or clicking on a link.

3. To whom may collected data be disclosed?

Personal data processed by Walde AS may be disclosed without the individual's consent only to an institution or person who has a direct legal right to do so (e.g., a court or pre-trial investigator) and a justified need for it. Walde AS does not disclose personal data about the customer to third parties.

4. What rights does the individual have regarding collected data?

Right to access, correct, and cease processing of their data

If you wish to opt out of direct marketing offers on all or certain topics, you can do so immediately via the link in the footer of each marketing email. The change takes effect immediately. If there is (no longer) a legal basis for processing, disclosing, or providing access to the data, you can request the cessation or deletion of data, the cessation of data disclosure, or the cessation of providing access to data. To do this, please submit a request in a way that allows for the identification of the individual.
