This Privacy Policy is provided to explain how and why personal data is processed. Where consent is required, it is requested separately.

This may include:

• Name
• Email address
• Newsletter subscription information, including the source of sign-up, consent and confirmation status, unsubscribe status, and relevant timestamps
• Billing and shipping address
• Order details and purchase history
• Technical information such as IP address, browser type, and device information collected through cookies
• Phone number
• Customer account information, where an account is created
• Contact form messages and customer service correspondence
• Withdrawal and return request information
• Cookie preferences and consent records

Payment information is processed securely through third-party payment providers. WorldBanknotes.eu does not store or have access to your full payment card details.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Your data may be processed on the following legal bases:

• Contractual necessity – to process and deliver your orders
• Legal obligations – for accounting, tax, and regulatory compliance
• Legitimate interests – to operate, maintain, and improve the security and functionality of our website
• Consent – for non-essential cookies, analytics, newsletter subscriptions, and marketing communications where applicable

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect may be used for the following purposes:

• Processing and fulfilling orders
• Providing customer support
• Communicating order confirmations and updates
• Sending newsletters to confirmed subscribers who have chosen to receive them
• Maintaining subscription, consent, confirmation, and unsubscribe records
• Improving website performance and security
• Complying with legal obligations

WorldBanknotes.eu does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties.

Marketing Communications and Newsletter

WorldBanknotes.eu sends occasional emails about newly added banknotes, collector guides, and selected shop updates only to people who have actively chosen to subscribe.

A subscription may be requested through a newsletter form on the website or by selecting the optional newsletter checkbox during checkout. The checkout checkbox is not pre-selected, subscribing is not required to place an order, and refusing or withdrawing consent does not affect the purchase or delivery of an order.

After a subscription request, a confirmation email is sent. Marketing emails are sent only after the confirmation link has been used. This double opt-in process helps verify the email address and record the subscriber’s choice.

The legal basis for newsletter and marketing communications is consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in each marketing email or by contacting info@worldbanknotes.eu. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Brevo is used to manage newsletter subscriptions and send confirmation, welcome, and marketing emails. For this purpose, Brevo processes the subscriber’s email address and the information needed to manage delivery, confirmation, and subscription status on behalf of WorldBanknotes.eu.

Service Providers and Data Recipients

Where necessary to operate the store and fulfil orders, personal data may be shared with payment processors, shipping and logistics providers, website hosting and technical service providers, email delivery providers, cookie consent and analytics providers, accounting or professional advisers, and competent public authorities where disclosure is required by law.

These recipients process personal data only to the extent necessary for their respective services and may act as data processors or independent data controllers, depending on the nature of the service.

For newsletter management and email delivery, WorldBanknotes.eu uses Brevo as a service provider and data processor. Brevo’s processing is governed by its applicable data processing terms and may involve authorised subprocessors used to provide the service.

International Data Transfers

Some service providers or their authorised subprocessors may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, WorldBanknotes.eu relies on an applicable adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another safeguard recognised under data protection law.

Cookies

WorldBanknotes.eu uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper website functionality and improve user experience.

Cookies may be used to:

• Maintain shopping cart functionality
• Remember user preferences
• Analyze general website traffic and performance

Non-essential cookies are used only where permitted and, where required, after consent has been provided through the cookie banner. You can review or change your choices at any time through the Cookie Settings function available on this website. Cookies can also be managed through your browser settings.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, reasonable safeguards are used to protect your information.

Data Retention

Personal data related to orders, payments, tax, and accounting obligations is retained for the periods required by applicable law.

Contact form messages, customer service correspondence, withdrawal requests, and return records are retained for as long as necessary to respond, administer the relevant request, comply with legal obligations, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Newsletter subscription and consent records are retained while the subscription remains active and, where necessary, for a reasonable period afterwards to demonstrate how consent was obtained and managed.

When a person unsubscribes, the email address and unsubscribe status may be retained on a suppression list so that further marketing emails are not sent. Unconfirmed subscription requests may be removed after a reasonable period when they are no longer needed.

Cookie consent records are retained according to the periods shown in the Cookie Settings tool.

Personal data that is no longer required is deleted or anonymised.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have certain rights regarding your personal data.

These rights may include the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal data where applicable
• Request restriction of processing
• Object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing and, where applicable, object to other processing based on legitimate interests
