Privacy
1. Introduction
Flattered INC ("Flattered") is committed to protecting your privacy as a customer, website visitor, or other third party – such as, for example, a contact person in a business or organisation with which Flattered cooperates.
Flattered therefore aims to be transparent about how it handles your personal data, so you feel safe when you make a purchase or visit our webshop. The purpose of this privacy policy is to explain how Flattered collects and uses your personal data, and how you may exercise your rights.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this privacy policy, or the processing of your personal information, please contact us via Flattered’s customer service.
2. When does Flattered collect your personal information?
Flattered may collect personal information from you when you make a purchase on the site; communicate by post, email or phone; create a subscription service account on the site; or request information from Flattered. Flattered may also automatically collect technical and user information about your devices and browsing patterns when you are interacting with the Flattered website. This data is collected using cookies, the server's logs, and other similar technology.
In addition to the personal data you provide, Flattered may collect information about you from a third party, such as a credit information agency, supervisory authority, or other publicly available database.
If you do not provide certain information when requested, Flattered may not be able to fulfill its obligations to you, or respond to your inquiries. In this event, Flattered may thus be prevented from providing you with the best possible service, as well as from fulfilling its legal obligations (such as reporting requirements).
