3. What are the purposes of personal data processing?

3.1 Astri processes the user's first name, phone number, address (if you choose delivery via courier), and email address primarily for the sale and delivery of a gift card, that is, 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 Astri with personal data, the user can additionally grant Astri the right to send information about Astri’s (including the Web Store’s and various Centers’) products and services (direct marketing offers) on a voluntary basis. In this case, Astri processes the user's personal data with the user's consent for making offers, including personalized offers. The user can give such consent during registration or later via their account at https://astri.ee/account/ (hereinafter via their account). For the purpose of making better offers, the user can 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 This means that processing will be stopped from the moment the consent is withdrawn. 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 such cases, the purpose of processing will be specified during the collection of consent. Every consent given for processing is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. This means that processing will be stopped from the moment the consent is withdrawn. 

3.4 Astri processes personal data in order to fulfill obligations arising from legal acts. These obligations mainly derive 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 legal obligations, Astri processes the user's purchase data, which is also necessary for fulfilling accounting obligations. 

3.5 Astri processes personal data based on Astri’s legitimate interest, including for business purposes and for security purposes (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 in order 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, participation in campaigns, and other consumer behavior in order to offer the user the most convenient shopping experience and personalized service. In every such case, Astri will thoroughly assess whether its interests in processing outweigh the interests and rights of the user. If Astri finds that the processing is justified, it will implement sufficient measures to ensure the protection of the user’s rights, including fairness, impartiality, and accuracy of the processing. 

4. How long does Astri retain personal data?

4.1 Astri has both the right and the obligation, arising from legal acts, to retain collected personal data. Astri does not retain personal data longer than necessary for fulfilling obligations to the user or those 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 while the account remains active and for three years and three months after the account is deleted. If Astri has reason to believe that the user has intentionally breached obligations towards Astri, Astri may retain the user's data for ten years and three months after the account is deleted. You can submit a request to delete your account via your account in the Online Store. 

4.3 Astri will retain your account for five years from the date of your last purchase (active account), unless you have explicitly expressed a wish to delete the account. If you have not made any purchases within five years, Astri will send you an inquiry to check the activity of your account. If you do not respond to the inquiry within the specified period, Astri will assume your account is inactive and may delete your account. 

4.4 Astri retains accounting source documents, including any 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 via 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 is carried out so that Astri can fulfill contracts (orders) concluded with the user. 

5.2 Astri generally ensures the processing and storage of data within the territory of the European Union, except for the user's email address if 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, including, among other things, compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework or by applying other data protection measures required by legislation. 

5.3 Astri will also disclose personal data if there is a legal obligation to do so. 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 rights and freedoms of the user and in accordance with applicable laws.

6.2 The user has the right to obtain information about the types and sources of collected personal data, as well as the purposes of their use. The user can access the collected data in the Online Store on their account page. The user has the right to receive 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 sent by email in a machine-readable file.

6.3 If the data is incorrect or inaccurate, the user has the right to request that the data 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 prevent 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 reasons for processing; the personal data has been processed unlawfully; or the personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation.

6.5 Please submit all questions and requests regarding the processing of personal data through 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.
