    Behavioural Advertising

    At Backrobo, we value your privacy and use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications that we believe may be of interest to you. Here are some ways we use your information:

      • We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use our website. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

      • We use Shopify Audiences to show ads on other websites with our advertising partners to buyers who made purchases with other Shopify merchants and who may also be interested in what we have to offer. We also share information about your use of our website, your purchases, and the email address associated with your purchases with Shopify Audiences, through which other Shopify merchants may make offers you may be interested in.

    Using Personal Information

    At Backrobo, we use your personal information to provide our services to you, including offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfilling your order, and keeping you up to date on new products, services, and offers. 

    Lawful basis

    If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), we process your personal information under the following lawful bases:

      • Your consent
      • The performance of the contract between you and the Site
      • Compliance with our legal obligations
      • To protect your vital interests
      • To perform a task carried out in the public interest
      • For our legitimate interests, which do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms
    Retention

    When you place an order through our website, we will retain your Personal Information for our records unless and until you request us to erase this information. For more information on your right of erasure, please refer to the ‘Your Rights’ section below.

    If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (including profiling), when that decision-making has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.

    At Backrobo, we DO engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or otherwise significant effect using customer data.

    Our processor, Shopify, uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.

    Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:

      • Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist persists for a small number of hours.
      • Temporary blacklist of credit cards associated with blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist persists for a small number of days.

    Your rights

For more information on how data transfers comply with the GDPR, see Shopify’s GDPR Whitepaper: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/privacy/GDPR.

    The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.

    You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

    Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.

    Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioural Advertising” section above.
