What data we collect and how we use it.
We only collect data we actually need. We don’t sell it, rent it, or share it beyond what’s required to ship your order and run the store. This document explains the specifics.
Data collected: order details, email, shipping address. Legal basis: contract performance (orders), consent (newsletter). Not sold to anyone, ever. Full GDPR rights — email info@inflata.eu to exercise them.
01 Who We Are
