Data Processed

Beautifulcowries processes only personal data strictly necessary to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations or to respond to user requests.
The personal data processed may include name, surname, email address, telephone number, postal address, tax code, and VAT number.
Contact details of potential customers may also be processed for promotional purposes, subject to explicit consent.

All processing is carried out in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, and data minimization as required by Articles 5 and 6 of the GDPR.

Purpose and Legal Basis of Processing

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

  1. Contractual and pre-contractual purposes
    • To perform contracts or fulfil obligations arising from pre-contractual or contractual relationships.
    • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (“performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures”).

    • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (“consent of the data subject”).
