As part of our commitment to provide a seamless shopping experience, we have introduced a feature to remind our customers of their abandoned shopping baskets. If you begin the checkout process but do not complete your purchase, we may send you an email to remind you of the items left in your basket.
This process involves the collection and use of your email address and the details of your unfinished purchase. The purpose of this processing is to enhance your shopping experience and provide you with a convenient link to complete your purchase if you choose to do so.
By entering your details in the checkout process, you consent to receive these reminder emails. We understand the importance of choice and control over your personal information. Therefore, you will have the option to opt-out of receiving these reminders either directly through a link in the email or by adjusting your preferences in your account settings on our website.
Information related to abandoned baskets will be retained only for a limited period necessary to send these reminders, after which it will be securely deleted from our systems.
