We may also use your data for marketing purposes where you have given consent or where we have a legitimate interest, such as sending relevant product updates and promotional offers.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and tracking technologies for analytics, advertising, and remarketing purposes, including Google Ads. These technologies help us measure campaign effectiveness, deliver relevant advertisements, and improve our services. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent banner. For detailed information about the cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds: consent (where you have explicitly agreed); contract performance (to provide our services); legitimate interests (for business operations, fraud prevention, and service improvement); and legal obligations (compliance with applicable laws and regulations). We will always inform you of the specific legal basis when collecting your personal data.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as payment processors, delivery companies, and IT service providers. These parties are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the specified purposes. We may also disclose your data where required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition.

International Data Transfers

As we operate primarily within the European Union, your data is generally processed within the EU. Where we do transfer data outside the EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other approved transfer mechanisms under GDPR. We will inform you of any international transfers and the safeguards applied.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal obligations. Data retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for processing. Customer data is typically retained for the duration of the business relationship plus additional periods required for legal compliance, usually between 3-10 years. Marketing data is retained until you withdraw consent or we no longer have a legitimate interest. Website analytics data is generally retained for 26 months.

Your rights specifically include: requesting access to your personal data and information about how we process it; requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete data; requesting deletion of your data in certain circumstances; requesting restriction of processing in specific situations; objecting to processing based on legitimate interests; requesting transfer of your data to another controller; and withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@cobaltfrontier.world.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include encryption, access controls, secure data transmission, regular security assessments, and staff training on data protection. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 16 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
