PROFILING

We carry out profiling within the Shop – this will apply to you if you allow us to do so. Profiling involves automatically assessing which products or services you may be interested in, using information about the content you view. As a result, adverts for products or services displayed through the online services you use will be better tailored to you and your needs.

The profiling we carry out does not result in decisions that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.

ANALYTICS

If you choose to receive marketing messages or our newsletter, we may analyse the effectiveness of the messages we send. For example, we may check whether and how they affected activity in our Shop. This helps us establish general guidelines for sending this type of message in our business – for example, the best times to send them or how to word effective content.
