We are concerned about the protection of personal data. We undertake to ensure the best level of protection for your personal data in accordance with the European and Belgian regulations that apply in this area.
For all information about the protection of personal data, you can also consult the website of the Belgian data protection authority www.autoriteprotectiondonnees.be.
Who processes my personal data?
The controller is the company that determines for what purpose and how your personal data is used.
The personal data collected on the site are jointly processed by Storyteller Designs, Aarthof 32, 2260 Westerlo, Belgium. Hereinafter referred to as "Storyteller Designs".
Why does Storyteller Designs collect my personal information?
Storyteller Designs mainly uses your personal data for the following purposes:
- Management of orders and customer relations
We need your information for the management of your orders and their follow-up (e.g. deliveries, invoices, accounting), for the management of your debtor administration, for the follow-up of customer relations such as satisfaction surveys, complaints management and after-sales service.
- The personalization of our services and the messages we send you
Your data allows us to improve and personalize the services we offer you and the communications we send you. For example, we may send you personalized emails or recommend products that are similar to those you have already purchased or viewed and that match your interests.
- Fraud fight
The personal data collected on the site is also processed in order to secure payments and deliveries and thus guarantee you an optimal quality of service. Storyteller Designs determines the level of fraud risk associated with each order. As part of this analysis, Storyteller Designs is likely to question its risk prevention service providers in order to refine its analysis. Some of these service providers may become recipients of the results of the analysis performed and may use them on their own behalf to feed their own incident file.
Depending on the results of the checks carried out on the orders, Storyteller Designs may take security measures, in particular requesting additional proof or suggesting an alternative delivery method. These measures have the consequence that the execution of the order is suspended or, if the result of the analysis does not guarantee the security of the order, it is cancelled. The fraudulent use of a payment method or delivery fraud may lead to the registration of the data related to the order in the Storyteller Designs warning file, which may prompt Storyteller Designs to carry out additional checks on future orders.
- The security of our website
We collect certain navigational data to ensure the security of our services and to detect, prevent or track any attempted malicious or computer intrusion or any violation of the terms of use of our services.
- Customer knowledge and statistics and performance of our site
We may use data to better understand our customers or for statistical purposes to analyze site activity and improve the services we offer. For example, we conduct an audience measurement, where we measure the number of pages viewed, the number of visits to the site and the activity of the visitors to the site and their return frequency.
