III. Legal Basis for Data Processing
We process personal data based on legal grounds stipulated by GDPR, specifically including:
- Fulfilling Contractual Obligations: To complete the signing and performance of contracts between you and us, such as the purchase of cups, including the delivery of goods and settlement of payments. This is the core legal basis for processing personal data;
- Data Subject Consent: When you explicitly check the consent box and proactively provide personal data for a specific purpose (such as receiving product update information), we will process the data based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time;
- Legitimate Interests: To achieve our reasonable business interests without harming your legitimate rights, such as optimizing product design, improving customer service quality, and ensuring business operation security. This processing will fully balance our interests with your data rights;
- Legal Obligations: To comply with the requirements of relevant EU and member state laws and regulations, such as retaining transaction records to meet tax regulatory requirements.
IV. Purpose of Use of Personal Data
The personal data we collect will only be used for the following specific and explicit purposes, and will not be processed beyond those purposes:
- Order Fulfillment: This includes confirming order details, arranging production, logistics and delivery, after-sales support, and handling order-related complaints and inquiries;
- Product and Service Optimization: Based on non-identifiable aggregated data analysis of user needs, improve the quality and style of cup products and the user experience of the official website;
- Business Communication: Respond to your inquiries and requests for quotes, inform you of order progress, and important product-related notices (such as delivery delays);
- Compliance and Security: Comply with relevant laws and regulations, prevent security risks such as fraud and data breaches, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of both us and you.
V. Data Retention Period
We will strictly adhere to the "storage limitation principle" and retain personal data only for the shortest period necessary to achieve the data processing purpose. The specific retention periods are as follows:
- Order-related data: Retained for no more than 5 years after order completion and resolution of all after-sales issues. If legal retention requirements such as tax compliance are required, the maximum legal retention period will apply;
- Technical data: Retained for no more than 6 months, unless extended retention is necessary to ensure website security and necessary security measures have been implemented;
- Data collected based on consent: Retained until the date you withdraw your consent, or the shortest time required to achieve the agreed purpose.
After the data retention period expires, we will completely delete or anonymize your personal data through secure methods (such as encrypted deletion and physical destruction) to ensure that the data subject cannot be identified.
VI. Data Sharing and Cross-border Transfer
1. Data Sharing
We will not sell or rent your personal data to any third party. Data will be shared only in the following limited scenarios, and the scope of sharing will be strictly controlled:
- Service Providers: For order fulfillment (e.g., logistics providers), website technical maintenance (e.g., compliant cloud service providers), etc., necessary data will be shared with entrusted third-party service providers. Such providers must strictly comply with our data processing instructions, sign data processing agreements, and take sufficient security measures;
- Legal Requirements: Necessary data will be disclosed to relevant law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities in accordance with EU and member state laws, regulations, judicial decisions, or administrative orders;
- With Your Consent: Data will be shared with third parties designated by you only with your explicit written consent.
2. Cross-border Transfer
If personal data collected within the EU needs to be transferred to countries or regions outside the EU (including the location of our data storage servers), we will take the following compliance safeguards:
- Transfer to countries or regions recognized by the European Commission as having an “adequate protection level”;
- Sign EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with the recipient;
- Take encryption, anonymization, and other technical measures to ensure that the security and protection level during data transmission is no less than EU requirements.
