• Provision of services and their improvement. In order to provide the services offered and improve them to your satisfaction, we process your personal data. This means specifically:
  • Processing orders for products or services, ordered via our website. The legal reason is the need to fulfil the purchase agreement and, for selected data, to meet legal obligations (e.g. accounting documents).
  • Customer support. To provide customer service and prevent any problems when fulfilling a purchase agreement, we will process your personal data on the basis of the necessary fulfilment of these agreements.
  • Communication. We use the data that is collected to communicate with you and to adapt it for each individual. For example, we may contact you by phone, email or some other format to remind you that you have products in your online basket, to help you complete your order, give you the current status of your request, order or return or get more information from you about it, or notify you that you need to take action to keep your account active. If you shop with us as a non-member, we process this data because of legitimate interest, which is in the legitimate interests of GEARESHOP.COM, as described above.
  • Improving services. We use data to continuously improve our services and systems, including adding new features, and also to make informed decisions through the use of pooled analysis and business intelligence, all on the basis of our legitimate interest derived from the freedom of business and on the basis of the need to improve the services provided for competitive success. To ensure the adequate protection of your rights and interests, we use personal data in an anonymised form for the purpose of making improvements to our services.
• Protection, security and dispute resolution. We may also process data out of legitimate interest, to ensure the protection and security of our systems and customers, detect and prevent fraud, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements  on the basis of legitimate interest.
• Marketing offers.

    • We send you commercial communications about similar products to those you have purchased.

We do not have fully automated processing which would have a legal impact on you.
