3. Who receives the data

We share data only with the service providers the website and the shop need, and only as much as they need:

  • Hostinger — hosting of the website and its database (servers in the European Union, Lithuania);
  • Cloudflare — the domain's DNS and protection of the website; site traffic, including IP addresses, passes through it;
  • Resend — sending order e-mails;
  • Google (Gmail) — the shop's mailbox, which receives order notifications and contact form messages;
  • Sentry — recording technical errors (data stored in the EU, Germany; without IP addresses or cookies);
  • delivery and parcel locker providers — only the details needed for delivery (name, phone, address or parcel locker);
  • the bank, our accountant and public authorities (such as the State Revenue Service) where the law requires.

Some providers (Cloudflare, Resend, Google) are based in the USA. Such transfers take place under Chapter V of the GDPR — on the basis of the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

4. How long we keep data

  • Orders, invoices and related data — 5 years, as required by the Latvian Accounting Law.
  • A client's contact details and wish list — while needed to stay in touch with you, or until you ask us to delete them.
  • Contact form messages — while needed to deal with your question, and no longer than 2 years.
  • Server logs and error records — briefly, usually up to 90 days.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to restrict its processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to receive your data in a portable format. Data we must keep by law (such as invoices) cannot be erased before the retention period ends.

To use your rights, write to [email protected]. We will reply within one month. If you believe your data is processed unlawfully, you may complain to the Data State Inspectorate of Latvia (www.dvi.gov.lv).

6. Cookies and browser storage

Vinylera does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser stores only what the website cannot work without, so no consent is needed for it:

Embedded content. Some pages embed YouTube videos (in privacy-enhanced mode, youtube-nocookie.com) and an OpenStreetMap map. When such content loads, its provider receives your IP address and browser details under its own privacy policy.

You can clear browser storage at any time in your browser settings; this also empties your cart.
