6. Regular sources of data
The information provided should include details of the nature of the data sources (e.g. whether the source is publicly or privately maintained, the type of organisation/industry/sector, and where the data originates from (e.g. EU or non-EU). The specific data source should as a rule be provided, unless this is impossible.

- e.g. from the customer themselves via an online form
7. Regular disclosures of data
If you do not disclose data:
As a rule, data is not disclosed for marketing purposes outside Company Ltd.
If you disclose data, e.g. as follows:

If you use e.g. a newsletter tool or similar, record it e.g. as follows:

The controller and its employees process personal data. We may also partially outsource the processing of personal data to a third party, in which case we guarantee by contractual arrangements that personal data is processed in accordance with the data protection legislation in force and otherwise appropriately.
10. Transfer of data outside the EU
If data is not transferred outside the EU:
Personal data is not transferred outside the EU or the European Economic Area.

Data is regularly transferred outside the EU or the European Economic Area. When data is transferred outside the EU and the EEA, we ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data, among other things by agreeing on matters relating to the confidentiality and processing of personal data in the manner required by legislation.
If data is transferred, record under section 6, regular disclosures, to whom and why the data is disclosed.
11. Automated decision-making and profiling
If you do not use the data for automated decision-making or profiling, record it e.g. as follows:
We do not use the data for automated decision-making or profiling.
If you use the data for automated decision-making or profiling, describe the use in an understandable way.
For profiling, explain the meaningful information about the logic involved in the processing, as well as the significance and the possible consequences of such processing for the data subject.
12. AI shopping assistant
The store offers an optional AI shopping assistant. It runs only if you open it and write something; every other part of the store works without it. What you write, and the answer you get back, is sent to Google, the provider of the Gemini model that generates the reply, for the sole purpose of answering your question. That call goes to the Gemini model on Google Cloud Vertex AI in the EU region europe-north1 — the same region the store itself runs in — so your text stays inside the EEA; see the section on international transfers.
Assistant messages are used only to answer you. We do not use them for advertising, for profiling or for automated decision-making, and we never sell them. We use the model provider on a paid plan, whose terms do not allow your messages to be used to train its models. The assistant cannot take a payment or change an order; a person handles anything that does. Please do not write card numbers, passwords or health information into it — a dietary or allergy detail you mention is sent with your message.
A conversation is kept with your chat session so the assistant can follow the thread, and is deleted automatically after 90 days at the latest. If you would rather your text was not processed this way, do not use the assistant: it is optional, and the catalogue, your account and checkout all work fully without it.
