Tiptopdeal collects your Personal Data as follows:

Information You Provide Voluntarily. We may collect Personal Data directly from you when you voluntarily provide it to us. For example, when you communicate with us over the telephone or through the Website by way of email, online chat, web form, or online account registration to obtain access to Offerings, register for an event or training, sign up for marketing, promotional, or informational emails or communications, purchase an Offering, ask questions, attempt to resolve any issues related to the Website or Offerings, or submit feedback and comments.

The Personal Data that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your Personal Data.

Information that We Collect Automatically. When you visit our Website, we may collect certain information automatically from your Device. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area, this information may be considered Personal Data under applicable data protection laws. Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, your Media Access Control (MAC) Address, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) and other technical information.

We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Website, including the pages accessed and links clicked. Collecting this information enables us to better understand the visitors who come to our Website, where they come from, and what content on our Website is of interest to them.

We use this information for our internal analytics purposes and to improve the quality and relevance of our Website to our visitors.

Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further under the heading “Cookies and Other Website Usage Information” below.

From Other Users. We may receive Personal Data about you from other users of the Website when they provide information to us. For example, we may receive information when they communicate with you or with us through the Website.

From Our Vendors. We may obtain Personal Data about you from the third-party vendors that make Offerings available through us.

From Customers. We may obtain Personal Data about you from third-party customers that contract with us for services. For example, we may provide fulfilment services on behalf of other companies where we will pick, pack, and ship a physical product to you. In this scenario we will receive your name, mailing address, and order information, and will only process your Personal Data to facilitate the services on behalf of the customer.

From Third-Party Providers. Tiptopdeal may also obtain Personal Data from third parties that have obtained or collected information about you and that have the right to provide that Personal Data to us.

Tiptopdeal will only obtain this Personal Data where we have checked that these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your Personal Data to us.For example, if you register for the Website using a third-party service or through a third-party website or service, the information you provide to that third-party will be provided to us to establish your account on the Website.

We may also contract with third parties that are in the business of providing information to businesses such as ours to verify certain information about you or obtain information.

We may use the Personal Data about you we receive from a third-party outside of the Website in accordance with the terms we establish with that third-party.

We may also obtain Personal Data at trade shows or events where you have attended and provided your consent to collect your Personal Data.

We may also obtain Personal Data from publicly available sources such as open government databases or other data in the public domain.

3. Cookies and Other Website Usage Information.

The Website may also monitor and collect information about how you access, use, and interact with the Website automatically through “cookies,” “flash cookies”, “web beacons,” and other automated tracking technology.

A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on a user’s Device. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the Website, pages visited, and language preferences.

We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience while using the Website.

Generally, the cookies that are used on the Website can be broken down into the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Website or use a shopping cart.
  • Analytical/performance cookies. These cookies are used to analyze how the Website is used and to monitor its performance, which allows us to improve your experience in using the Website. These cookies help us to tailor the content of Website to reflect what users find most interesting and to identify when technical issues with the Website arise. We may also use this data to compile reports to help us to analyze how the Website is used, what the most common issues are and how we can improve the Website.
  • Functional/tracking cookies. These cookies enable us to recognize repeat visitors to our Websites. By matching an anonymous, randomly generated identifier, a tracking cookie keeps track of where a user of our Websites came from, what search engine they may have used, what link they clicked on, what keyword they used and where they were in the world when they accessed the Website. By monitoring this data, we can make improvements to our Website.
  • Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
  • Session cookies. These cookies are used 'in-session' each time you visit and then expire when you leave a Website or shortly thereafter: they are not stored on your Device permanently, do not contain any Personal Data and help by minimizing the need to transfer Personal Data across the internet. These cookies can be deleted, or you can refuse to allow their use, but this will hamper the performance and your experience in using the Website. These cookies also take time stamps that record when you access the Website and when you leave the Website.
  • Persistent Cookies. This type of cookie is saved on your Device for a fixed period (sometimes for a few hours, sometimes for a year or longer) and is not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to remember who you are for more than one browsing session. For example, this type of cookie can be used to store your language preferences, so that they are remembered for the next visit to the Website. You can choose to accept or decline cookies.
  • Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.
    If you would prefer not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. However, please be aware that if you disable or reject cookies, some features and services on our Websites may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your account(s).

    In addition, the Offerings we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests. A “flash cookie” is a file similar to a cookie, except that they can store more complex data. Our use of Adobe Flash technology (including Flash Local Stored Objects ("Flash LSOs")) allows us to, among other things, serve you with more tailored information, facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the Website, and collect and store information about your use of the Website.

    If you do not want Flash LSOs stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage using the tools contained in the Adobe Flash Website Storage Settings Panel available on the Internet. You can also control Flash LSOs by going to the Adobe Flash Global Storage Settings Panel available on the Internet and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash LSOs (referred to as "information" on the Adobe site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash LSOs that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

    Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with this Website or our online content.

    A “web beacon” (also known as a clear pixel or pixel tag) includes an electronic image embedded in the Website interface that allows us to recognize when you visit that area of the Website. These may also be used in connection with some Website pages and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, track the actions of Website users and email recipients, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about Website usage and response rates.

    Please note that the use of cookies or these other tracking technologies by Tiptopdeal’s third-party service providers is not covered by this Privacy Statement.

    Tiptopdeal does not have access or control over third party cookies. Tiptopdeal’s service providers may use persistent cookies for advertising and retargeting purposes.

    We may tie the information gathered from third-party cookies to Tiptopdeal’s users’ Personal Data, and we will use the combined information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

This will include, by way of example, storing the anonymized, aggregated data separately from any Personal Data.

Change of Purpose. We will only use your Personal Data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your Personal Data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law. Credit Reference Checks, Fraud Prevention, and Denied Parties.

The Personal Data that we have collected from you when setting up an account may be shared with credit reference, fraud prevention, and denied party agencies who use it to prevent fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity.

We may access and use information from credit reference and denied party agencies when you open your account and periodically to:

  • manage and take decisions about your account, including assessing your creditworthiness.
  • prevent criminal activity, fraud and money laundering.
  • check your identity and verify the accuracy of the information you provide to us; and
  • trace debtors and recover debts.

Application decisions may be taken based solely on automated checks of information from credit reference agencies and internal records. We will continue to share information with credit reference agencies about how you manage your account including any default in making payments, while you have a relationship with us.This information will be made available to other organizations so that they can make decisions about you.If false or inaccurate information is provided and/or fraud is identified or suspected, details will be passed to fraud prevention agencies, law enforcement agencies and other organizations may access and use this information.

If we, or a fraud prevention agency, determine that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk, we may refuse to provide services to you. A record of any fraud or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud prevention agencies and may result in others refusing to provide services or financing to you. Fraud prevention agencies can hold your information for different periods of time. When credit reference, fraud prevention, and denied party agencies process your information, they do so on the basis that they have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify identity, in order to protect their business and to comply with laws that apply to them.

We do not share your Personal Data with third-party, third-party service providers, business units, when required by law or to respond to legal processes, to protect our customers, to protect lives, to maintain the security of our Offerings, and to protect the rights or property of Tiptopdeal.

Other Important Privacy Information

Access additional privacy information you may find important.

Security of Personal Data. Tiptopdeal uses appropriate technical and organization controls and measures to secure and protect your Personal Data from unauthorized loss, misuse, and disclosure, such as strong user access controls, segmented network architecture, and comprehensive employee policies and training. Unfortunately, no data transmitted over or accessible through the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

As a result, while Tiptopdeal attempts to protect all Personal Data, Tiptopdeal cannot ensure or warrant that Personal Data will be completely secure from misappropriation by hackers or from other nefarious or criminal activities, or in the event of a failure of computer hardware, software, or a telecommunications network.

Tiptopdeal will notify you in the event we become aware of a security breach involving your personally identifiable information (as defined by the applicable foreign, federal, state, and local laws) stored by or for us, in accordance with applicable laws. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data (EEA Visitors Only).

If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Data information described above will depend on the Personal Data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect Personal Data from you only (i) where we need the Personal Data to perform a contract with you (such as to fulfill your purchase of an Offering), (ii) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or (iii) where we have your consent to do so. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Data from you or may otherwise need the Personal Data to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide Personal Data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your Personal Data is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your Personal Data). If we collect and use your Personal Data in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third-party), this interest will normally be to operate our platform and communicating with you as necessary to provide our services and Offerings to you, and for our legitimate commercial interest, for instance, when responding to your queries, improving our platform, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.

We may have other legitimate interests, and if appropriate, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are. If we collect and use your Personal Data based upon your consent, the consequences of denying or withdrawing consent will be made known at the time your consent is provided.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your Personal Data, please contact us using the contact details provided at the end of the document.

Accuracy. It is your responsibility to provide Tiptopdeal with accurate Personal Data. Except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Statement, Tiptopdeal shall only use Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized by you.

To the extent necessary for these purposes, Tiptopdeal shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is accurate, complete, current and relevant to its intended use.

International Data Transfers. Your Personal Data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country. Specifically, our primary Website servers are in the Netherlands. This means that when we collect your Personal Data we may process it in any of these countries. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your Personal Data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

For additional transfers of Personal Data between our Affiliates outside the EEA and United States we have implemented the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, which require us to protect Personal Data they process from the EEA in accordance with European Union data protection law.

We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.

Retention Period. We retain Personal Data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with an Offering you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
If you are a resident of the European Union, all the Personal Data related to you and received and stored by Tiptopdeal are erased after 5 years, save for any Personal Data in documents and files we must keep for a longer period under applicable laws.For example, we cannot erase personal data appearing on VAT invoices before we can delete the invoices from our systems.

Your Data Protection Rights. You have the following data protection rights:

If you wish to access, correct, update or request deletion of your Personal Data, you can do so at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided at the end of the document.

In addition, you can object to processing of your Personal Data, ask us to restrict processing of your Personal Data or request portability of your Personal Data. Again, you can exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact details provided at the end of the document.

You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing emails we send you. To opt-out of other forms of marketing (such as postal marketing or telemarketing), then please contact us using the contact details provided at the end of the document or access our preference center.

Similarly, if we have collected and processed your Personal Data with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your Personal Data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority. (Contact details for data protection authorities in the European Economic Area are available here.) We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Children. The Website is intended solely for use by individuals 18 years of age and older and thus is not directed to children under 18 years of age. Tiptopdeal does not knowingly solicit or collect Personal Data from children under 18 years of age.

Do Not Track. Certain web browsers and other devices you may use to access the Website may permit you to indicate your preference that you do not wish to be “tracked” online. At this time, the Website does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals. We do not modify your experience on the Website or modify the Personal Data we collect from you through the Website, based on whether such a preference is indicated.

Third-party Websites. In addition to providing access to Offerings, the Website may include links to other websites and web services. This Privacy Statement does not apply to those websites and services and the privacy practices of those websites and services may differ from those described in this Privacy Statement. If you submit Personal Data to any of those other websites or services, your Personal Data is governed by the privacy policies applicable to those websites and services. Tiptopdeal encourages you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website or web service you visit.

Compliance. Tiptopdeal will use a self-assessment approach to verify compliance with this Privacy Statement and periodically verify that the Privacy Statement is accurate, comprehensive for the information intended to be covered, prominently displayed, implemented and accessible. If you believe that your Personal Data has been processed or disclosed in violation of this Privacy Statement, Tiptopdeal encourages you to raise any concerns using the contact information provided in this Privacy Statement using the contact details provided under the “Questions and Contact information” heading below. Tiptopdeal will investigate and attempt to resolve any complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Personal Data.

Revisions. Tiptopdeal may from time to time revise this Privacy Statement in its sole and absolute discretion to reflect changes in our business practices. If we revise this Privacy Statement, we will notify you by posting the updated Privacy Statement on this Website or by sending you a notification by email. Changes to the Privacy Statement will become effective and will apply to the information collected starting on the date Tiptopdeal posts the revised Privacy Statement on the Website.

If we are required by applicable data protection laws to seek your consent to any changes in use of your Personal Data described in our updated Privacy Statement, then we will do that.
