3. Why we use your data (and the legal basis)
- To fulfil and deliver your order and provide customer support — performance of the contract.
- To process payments and prevent fraud — performance of the contract / legitimate interest.
- To meet legal obligations (e.g. accounting, VAT) — legal obligation.
- For marketing (newsletters, offers) — based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
- To improve and analyse the site (statistics, advertising) — based on your consent via the cookie banner.
4. Cookies and tracking
Our site uses cookies and similar technologies. On your first visit we ask for your consent via a cookie banner before placing any non-essential (analytics and advertising) cookies. You can change your preferences at any time. We use analytics and advertising technology from Google and Meta (Facebook/Instagram), among others.
5. Who we share your data with
We never sell your data. We only share it with service providers that help us run the store, including:
- Shopify — our e-commerce platform and hosting (incl. Shopify Payments);
- Payment providers (e.g. Bancontact, Klarna, card networks, Shop Pay);
- Shipping and delivery partners to deliver your order;
- Email and communication services for transactional and marketing emails;
- Google and Meta for analytics and advertising;
- Judge.me for product reviews;
- Public authorities where legally required.
6. Transfers outside the EEA
Some of our providers are located outside the European Economic Area (e.g. in the US). Where that happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
7. How long we keep your data
We keep your data no longer than necessary: order and invoice data for as long as legally required (in Belgium generally 7 years for accounting); accounts and marketing data until you delete your account or withdraw consent.
8. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. Payments are made over a secure (encrypted) connection.
9. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to and port your data, and to withdraw consent. Send your request to info@barrioclothing.com. If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (www.gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be).
