At veryberrybooks, we are fully committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and purchase our products. By using our site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We are an online store offering books and board games to customers across Europe. As the data controller, we process your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

When you visit our website, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, billing and shipping addresses, and order history. If you create an account, we also store your login credentials. Payment details are collected through secure third-party payment gateways, and we do not store your full credit card information on our servers. We also collect technical information like your IP address, browser type, device information, and site usage through cookies and analytics tools to help improve our services.

We use your personal data to fulfill and deliver your orders, communicate with you about your purchases, respond to inquiries, and provide customer support. We may also use the information to improve our website, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations. If you consent, we may send you marketing emails or newsletters with updates, promotions, or special offers.

The legal bases for processing your personal data include fulfilling our contract with you when you place an order, complying with our legal obligations for accounting and record-keeping, protecting our legitimate business interests, and, where required, obtaining your explicit consent.

We only share your data with trusted third parties who assist us in running our business. These include payment processors such as PayPal or Stripe, shipping and delivery providers, and IT service providers who support our website and systems. In cases where we are legally required to do so, we may also disclose your information to public authorities. We do not sell or rent your personal data to any third parties.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, tax, and accounting requirements. Once your data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

As a customer located in the European Economic Area, you have several rights under the GDPR. These include the right to access the personal data we hold about you, the right to correct or update inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your data, the right to object to or restrict processing, and the right to request a copy of your data in a portable format. You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, where consent was the legal basis for processing, and to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

If your data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure an adequate level of protection for your information.

We use cookies and similar technologies to personalize your browsing experience, analyze traffic, and improve our website functionality. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or by adjusting preferences in our cookie banner when you first visit our site.

We take the security of your data seriously and have implemented technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our security practices include data encryption, secure hosting, and access controls to protect your information.

From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page with the new effective date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed.
