GDPR Policy
1. Purpose and Scope
This GDPR Policy explains how we may collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal data in connection with our website and online furniture shopping services.
This Policy is intended to provide information about the data protection principles and rights that may apply when the processing of personal data falls within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”).
The GDPR does not automatically apply to every customer or visitor in the United States. Where the GDPR does not apply, personal information may nevertheless be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, or other privacy and data protection laws.
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy, which provide additional information about how we handle personal information and cookies.
2. When GDPR Applies
The GDPR may apply where the processing of personal data falls within the territorial scope of the GDPR or where otherwise required under applicable data protection laws.
Accordingly, not every individual who visits or purchases from our website will necessarily have rights under the GDPR. Where applicable, we will process personal data in accordance with the GDPR and other applicable data protection requirements.
For individuals whose personal data is not subject to the GDPR, applicable U.S. privacy laws may provide different rights and protections. Nothing in this Policy is intended to create rights that do not apply under the laws governing a particular individual or processing activity.
3. Personal Data We May Process
Depending on how you interact with our website and services, we may process categories of personal data such as:

- Order and transaction information;
- Payment-related information necessary to process transactions;
- Account information, where an account is created or used;
- Website usage information;
- IP address and certain device or technical information; and
- Information collected through cookies and similar technologies.
We only seek to process personal data that is reasonably necessary for legitimate business, contractual, legal, or other permitted purposes.
4. Purposes of Data Processing
We may process personal data for purposes including:
- Processing and fulfilling orders;
- Arranging delivery and providing after-sales support;
- Processing payments and related transactions;
- Responding to customer questions, requests, and communications;
- Operating, maintaining, and securing our website;

- Detecting and preventing fraud, misuse, unauthorized activity, or security risks;
- Complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations; and
- Carrying out marketing or other activities where permitted by applicable law and, where required, based on your consent or other appropriate legal basis.
We will not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected unless permitted or required by applicable law.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR applies, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases for processing personal data:
Consent. We may process personal data when you have provided consent where consent is required. Where applicable, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Performance of a Contract. We may process personal data when it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, such as processing an order or providing related services.
Steps at Your Request Before Entering Into a Contract. We may process information when necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
Compliance With a Legal Obligation. We may process personal data when necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation applicable to us.
Legitimate Interests. We may process personal data where necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a relevant third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by applicable legal requirements or your fundamental rights and freedoms. Where required, we will conduct an appropriate balancing assessment before relying on this basis.
The applicable legal basis may vary depending on the nature and purpose of the processing.
6. Your Data Protection Rights

- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
- Right to Lodge a Complaint: Where applicable, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
These rights are not necessarily available to every individual or in every circumstance. Their availability depends on whether the GDPR or another applicable privacy law applies to the relevant processing.
7. Sharing of Personal Data
We may disclose or make personal data available to parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide requested services, or comply with applicable law.
Depending on the circumstances, these parties may include:
- Payment-related service providers;
- Shipping and logistics providers;
- Website technology or hosting service providers;
- Customer service providers; and
- Legal, regulatory, or law enforcement authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
We do not intend to arbitrarily sell or disclose personal data. Any sharing of personal data will be carried out in accordance with applicable legal requirements and for appropriate business, contractual, legal, or other permitted purposes.
Where appropriate, service providers may process personal data on our behalf and only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide the relevant services.
8. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide our services, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or satisfy other legitimate and lawful requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the processing, our business needs, and applicable legal obligations.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. However, no method of transmitting or storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. International Data Transfers
Depending on the circumstances of our operations and service relationships, personal data may be transferred, stored, or processed in different jurisdictions.
Where the GDPR or other applicable data protection laws impose requirements on international transfers of personal data, we will take appropriate measures required by those laws.
The applicable safeguards may depend on the nature of the transfer, the jurisdictions involved, and the legal requirements applicable at the time of processing.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website usage, maintain appropriate website operations, and improve the user experience.
Depending on the information collected and how it is used, cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal data. Where applicable, such processing will be carried out in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements.
