ESP8266-Shop.com (“ESP8266 Shop,” “we,” or “us”) takes the privacy and protection of personal information very seriously. By visiting and using the ESP8266 Shop Offerings or registering for the ESP8266 Shop Offerings and creating an Account, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the ESP8266-Shop Terms of Service that you can find at https://esp8266-shop.com/terms-conditions and which incorporate this Privacy Policy by reference.

What This Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy describes ESP8266-Shop’s practices with respect to Personal Information and Anonymous Information that we collect when you use the ESP8266 Shop Offerings. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the use of your Personal Information that is collected by third parties that ESP8266 Shop does not own or control or that do not support ESP8266 Shop in providing the ESP8266 Shop Offerings.

“Personal Information” is information that is personally identifiable like names, addresses, e-mail addresses, or phone numbers, as well as other non-public information that is associated with the foregoing.

“Anonymous Information” means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information; Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of individual persons.

We collect and use Personal Information and Anonymous Information as described in this Privacy Policy from users of the ESP8266 Shop Offerings (“Users”).

BY USING THE SERVICE OR SUBMITTING PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH THE SERVICE, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

General Information

As a general principle, your granting of any consent and your provision of any Personal Information hereunder is entirely voluntary; there are generally no detrimental effects on you if you choose not to consent or to provide Personal Information. However, there are circumstances in which ESP8266 Shop cannot take action without certain Personal Information, for example because this Personal Information is required to process your orders or provide you with access to a web offering or newsletter. In these cases, it will unfortunately not be possible for ESP8266 Shop  to provide you with what you request without the relevant Personal Information.

Furthermore, you can request from ESP8266 Shop that we restrict your Personal Information from any further processing in any of the following events: (i) you state that the Personal Information ESP8266 Shop has about you is incorrect, (but only for as long as ESP8266 Shop requires to check the accuracy of the relevant Personal Information), (ii) there is no legal basis for ESP8266 Shop processing your Personal Information and you demand that ESP8266 Shop  restricts your Personal Information from further processing, (iii) ESP8266 Shop no longer requires your Personal Information but you claim that you require ESP8266 Shop to retain such data in order to claim or exercise legal rights or to defend against third party claims, or (iv) in case you object to the processing of your Personal Information by ESP8266 Shop (based on ESP8266 Shop’s legitimate interest as further set out below) for as long as it is required to review as to whether ESP8266 Shop has a prevailing interest or legal obligation in processing your Personal Information.

Right To Lodge A Complaint

If you believe that ESP8266 Shop is not processing your Personal Information in accordance with the requirements set out herein or applicable EEA data protection laws, you can at any time lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of the EEA country in which you live or with the data protection authority of the country or state in which ESP8266 Shop has its registered seat.

Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, which are not marketing-related but merely required for the relevant business relationship.

ESP8266 Shop and its products, technologies, and services are subject to the export laws of various countries including, without limitation, those of the European Union and its member states, and of the United States of America. You acknowledge that, pursuant to the applicable export laws, trade sanctions, and embargoes issued by these countries, ESP8266 Shop is required to take measures to prevent entities, organizations, and parties listed on government-issued sanctioned-party lists from accessing certain products, technologies, and services through ESP8266 Shop Sites or other delivery channels controlled by ESP8266 Shop.

Uses Of My Personal Information Based On My Consent

In the following cases ESP8266 Shop will only use your Personal Information as further detailed below after you have granted your prior consent into the relevant processing operations.

ESP8266 Shop may provide a hashed user ID to third party operated social networks or other web offerings (such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or Google) where this information is then matched against the social networks’ data or the web offerings’ own data bases in order to display to you more relevant information.

ESP8266 Shop offers you the option to use its Offerings including forums, blogs, and networks linked to its Sites that require you to register and create a user profile. User profiles provide the option to display personal information about you to other users, including but not limited to your name, photo, social media accounts, postal or email address, or both, telephone number, personal interests, skills, and basic information about your company.

These profiles may relate to a single Offering of ESP8266 Shop or may also allow you to access other Offerings of ESP8266 Shop or of other entities of ESP8266 Shop, or both (irrespective of any consent granted under the section “Forwarding Your Personal Data To Other ESP8266 Shop Companies.” below). It is, however, always your choice which of these additional Offerings you use and your Personal Information is only forwarded to them once you initially access them. Kindly note that without your consent for ESP8266 Shop to create such user profiles, ESP8266-Shop will not be in a position to offer such services to you where your consent is a statutory requirement that ESP8266-Shop can provide these services to you.

Within any Offerings, beyond the mere provision of access, your profile is used to personalize interaction with other users (for example, by way of messaging or follow functionality) and by ESP8266 Shop to foster the quality of communication and collaboration through such Offerings and for ESP8266 Shop to provide gamification elements (gamification is the process of taking something that already exists, such as a website, an enterprise application, or an online community, and integrating game mechanics into it to motivate participation, engagement, and loyalty). To the greatest extent supported by the relevant Offerings, you can use the functionality of the relevant Offerings to determine which information you want to share.

Special categories of Personal Information. In connection with the registration for and provision of access to an event or seminar, ESP8266 Shop may ask for information about your health for the purpose of identifying and being considerate of individuals who have disabilities or special dietary requirements throughout the event. Any such use of information is based on the consent you grant hereunder.

Kindly note that if you do not provide any such information about disabilities or special dietary requirements, ESP8266 Shop will not be able to take any respective precautions.

ESP8266 Shop may transfer your Personal Information to other entities owned by ESP8266 Shop. In such cases, these entities will then use the Personal Information for the same purposes and under the same conditions as outlined in this section.

You may at any time withdraw a consent granted. In case of withdrawal, ESP8266 Shop will not process Personal Information subject to this consent any longer unless legally required to do so. In case ESP8266 Shop is required to retain your Personal Information for legal reasons your Personal Information will be restricted from further processing and only retained for the term required by law. However, any withdrawal has no effect on past processing of Personal Information by ESP8266 Shop up to the point in time of your withdrawal. Furthermore, if your use of an ESP8266 Shop Offering requires your prior consent, ESP8266 Shop will not be (any longer) able to provide the relevant service, offer or event to you after your revocation.

You hereby consent to ESP8266 Shop sharing your Personal Information under the above circumstances.

We may (and you authorize us to) disclose information we have collected from and about you (including Personal Information) if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; (b) to enforce any agreement we may have entered into with you and to enforce the Privacy Policy; or (c) to protect and defend the rights or property of us, other Users, or third parties.
