Most of the information we process is necessary for the execution of the contract between us, ie to receive your order, to invoice it, to send you confirmation of the order and payment, plus to send the products you ordered.

In some cases, we will ask for your consent to process your data, such as to send you personalized offers or information messages about our products.
