3. What are the purposes of processing personal data?

3.1 Astri processes the user's first name, phone number, address (if you choose delivery by courier), and email address primarily for the sale and delivery of gift cards, i.e., for the preparation, conclusion, and fulfillment of the contract, as well as for resolving any disputes arising from the contract.

3.2 If the user has provided personal data to Astri, the user may also voluntarily grant Astri the right to send information about Astri’s (including the Online Store and various Centers) products and services (direct marketing offers). In this case, Astri processes the user's personal data based on consent for making offers, including personalized offers. The user can give this consent during registration or later via their account at https://astri.ee/account/ (hereinafter via their account). For the purpose of providing better offers, the user may add additional information to their account, such as gender, personal identification code, etc. Giving consent for direct marketing offers is voluntary, and the user has the right to withdraw their consent at any time via their account. This means that processing will be stopped from the moment consent is withdrawn.

3.3 Astri may also process personal data on the basis of consent in other cases (for example, for participation in loyalty programs or campaigns), in which case the purpose of processing will be specified during the collection of consent. Any consent given for processing is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. This means that processing will be stopped from the moment consent is withdrawn.

3.4 Astri processes personal data to fulfill obligations arising from legal acts. These obligations mainly arise from the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, the Personal Data Protection Act, the Law of Obligations Act, and other applicable legislation. For example, in connection with obligations arising from legal acts, Astri processes the user's purchase data, which is necessary, among other things, for fulfilling accounting obligations.

3.5 Astri processes personal data based on Astri’s legitimate interests, including for business purposes and for security reasons (detection and prevention of fraud). For example, Astri has a legitimate interest in retaining user data for the duration of the limitation period for claims arising from the contract to protect its rights. Astri may also process consumer behavior data based on legitimate interest. Astri collects data about the user's preferred payment methods, parcel machines and postal addresses, viewed offers and searches, campaign participation, and other consumer behavior in order to provide the user with the most convenient shopping experience and personalized service. In each such case, Astri thoroughly assesses whether its interests in processing outweigh the user's interests and rights. If Astri finds that the processing is justified, it implements adequate measures to ensure the protection of the user's rights, including fairness, impartiality, and accuracy of processing.

4. How long does Astri retain personal data?

4.1 According to legal acts, Astri has both the right and the obligation to retain the collected personal data. Astri does not retain personal data longer than necessary for fulfilling obligations to the user, obligations arising from legal acts, or for asserting or defending Astri's legal claims, except where the user has given consent for longer retention and processing of the data.

4.2 Astri generally retains data related to the user's account and purchases for as long as the account remains active and for three years and three months after the account has been deleted. If Astri has reason to believe that the user has deliberately breached obligations towards Astri, Astri may retain the user's data for ten years and three months after the account has been deleted. You can submit a request to delete your account through your account in the online store.

4.3 Astri retains your account for 5 years after your last purchase (active account), unless you have explicitly requested the deletion of the account. If you have not made any purchases within 5 years, Astri will send you an inquiry to check your account's activity. If you do not respond to the inquiry within the specified time, Astri will assume your account is inactive and may delete your account.

4.4 Astri retains accounting source documents, including personal data contained therein, for seven years from the end of the financial year in which the transaction was recorded in the accounting register based on the source document.

4.5 If you wish to receive additional information regarding the retention of your data, please submit a request through your account.

5. To whom does Astri disclose personal data?

5.1 Astri transmits personal data to the extent and in the form necessary to fulfill the purposes listed in the privacy policy. Astri may transmit personal data to authorized processors who need access to the data in order to provide services to Astri. Data disclosure takes place so that Astri can fulfill contracts (orders) concluded with the user. 

5.2 As a rule, Astri ensures the processing and storage of data within the territory of the European Union, except for the user's email address, for which the user has given consent to receive direct marketing offers. Astri may also use authorized processors whose servers are located outside the European Union. In doing so, Astri ensures the comprehensive security of your personal data, based on, among other things, the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework or by applying other data protection measures required by law. 

5.3 Astri also discloses personal data if Astri is obligated to do so by law. Such an obligation to disclose data may arise, for example, at the lawful request of authorities. 

6. What are the user's rights regarding the processing of their personal data?

6.1 Astri processes personal data in balance with the user's rights and freedoms and in accordance with applicable legislation. 

6.2 The user has the right to obtain information about the types and sources of collected personal data, as well as the purposes for which the data is used. The user can view the collected data on their account page in the online store. The user has the right to obtain copies and extracts of the personal data processed by Astri. The user has the right to request the transfer of personal data, including the transfer of personal data to another data controller. The requested data will be provided by email in a machine-readable file. 

6.3 If the data is incorrect or inaccurate, the user has the right to request the data to be supplemented or corrected. 

6.4 The user has the right to request the deletion of personal data. The user's data will not be deleted and processing will not be terminated if this would conflict with the obligation to process personal data or if there is another basis for continuing the processing. Termination of personal data processing may hinder the provision of the service. In particular, the user has the right to request the termination of personal data processing and deletion of data if: the personal data is no longer needed for the purpose for which Astri processed it; the user withdraws their consent for processing and there is no other legal basis for processing the personal data; the user objects to the processing of personal data and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing; the personal data has been processed unlawfully; the personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation. 

6.5 Please submit all questions and requests related to the processing of personal data via your account. If you do not have an online store account or are unable to use it for any reason (for example, if you cannot log in), you can contact Astri by email at astri@astri.ee. Astri will respond to submitted questions and requests within one month at the latest. Disputes will be resolved through negotiations. 

6.6 If the user believes that Astri has violated their rights and the dispute could not be resolved through negotiations, the user has the right to contact the Data Protection Inspectorate or a competent court.
