As part of our mission to help make commerce better for everyone, Flux Digital GmbH and its affiliates (collectively, “Flickrocket”) collect and process a lot of information. This Privacy Policy is intended to help you better understand how we collect, use and store your personal information—whether you are a merchant or end user that uses Flickrocket’s products, applications or services (together, the “Services”), a customer that shops at a store using our technology, a customer that has opted let his shope operate by Flickrocket, a participant in Flickrocket’s “Partners” program, or whether you’re simply visiting this website. By using any of Flickrocket’s Services, or by dealing with a merchant using Flickrocket’s Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy and, as applicable, the Flickrocket Terms of Service.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our privacy practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will give you notice of such changes by posting the revised policy on this Website, and where appropriate, by other means. By continuing to use this Website or the Support Service after these changes are posted, you agree to the revised policy.
Privacy matters! If you are a merchant, your customers need to understand how you (and how Flickrocket) collects and processes their personal information.

You also agree to obtain consent from your customers for the use and access of their personal information by Flickrocket and other third parties. In addition, if you are collecting any sensitive personal information from your customers (including information relating to medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or sexuality), you agree to obtain affirmative, express consent from your customers for the use and access of sensitive personal information by Flickrocket and other third parties.

What is a cookie? A cookie is a small amount of data, which may include a unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. We assign a different cookie to each device that accesses our website.
We use cookies to recognize your device and provide you with a personalized experience on our websites, or otherwise through the Services. We also use cookies as part of the Services, for example to operate the shopping cart for our merchants’ stores. Read more about how we use cookies on our sites and our merchants’ sites in our Cookie Policy.
We also use cookies to serve targeted ads from Google, Facebook, Bing, and other third-party vendors.
Our third-party advertising partners use cookies to track your prior visits to our websites and elsewhere on the Internet in order to serve you targeted ads. For more information about targeted or behavioral advertising, please visit https://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising.

We may also use web beacons, software development kids, and other automated tracking methods on our websites, in communications with you, and in our products and services, to measure performance and engagement.
Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.
In general, we keep your personal information throughout your relationship with us. For merchants, this means we will keep your information as long as you maintain a store on your platform. For partners, this means we will keep your information until you inform us that you wish to terminate your partner relationship with us. For our merchants’ customers, we process your information solely as a data processor on behalf of our merchants, and it is up to the merchant to determine how long they will store your information in our systems.
Once you terminate your relationship with us, we generally will continue to store archived copies of your personal information for legitimate business purposes and to comply with the law, except when we receive a valid erasure request, or, if you are a merchant, you terminate your account and your personal information is purged pursuant to our standard purge process.
If you opt to have Flickrocket operate your store, we keep your information as long as the store remains active. If you would like us to delete all of your personal information stored in connection with that account, please use the “Delete data” option in the Flickrocket admin interface.
We will continue to store anonymous or anonymized information, such as website visits, without identifiers, in order to improve our Services.
We do not and will never share, disclose, sell, rent, or otherwise provide personal information to other companies (other than to specific Flickrocket merchants you are interacting with, or to third party apps or service providers being used by the merchants you are interacting with) for the marketing of their own products or services.
If you are a merchant using Flickrocket’s Services, we do not use the personal information we collect from you or your customers to independently contact or market to your customers. However, Flickrocket may contact or market to your customers if we obtain their information from another source, such as from the customers themselves (for example, if they use a different Flickrocket consumer-facing service).
We follow industry standards on information security management to safeguard sensitive information, such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details and any other personal information entrusted to us. Our information security systems apply to people, processes and information technology systems on a risk management basis.
We perform annual audits to ensure our handling of your credit card information aligns with industry guidelines. We are certified as a PCI DSS compliant service provider.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.
Flickrocket works with merchants and users around the world, including in the EEA. As part of our service, we may transfer your personal information to other regions, including the United States. In order to ensure that your information is protected when transferred out of the EEA, Flickrocket relies on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (described in more detail below), as well as inter-company agreements between our various affiliates that may process your information on behalf of Flickrocket.
If you are located in the EEA, you have certain rights under European law with respect to your personal data, including the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete, port to another service provider, or object to certain uses of your personal data. If you are a merchant, a partner, a visitor of Flickrocket’s websites, or a user of Flickrocket’s support services and wish to exercise these rights, please reach out to us using the contact information below. If you are a customer of a merchant who uses Flickrocket’s platform and wish to exercise these rights, please contact the merchants you interacted with directly -- we serve as a processor on their behalf, and can only forward your request to them to allow them to respond.
Additionally, if you are located in the EEA, we note that we are generally processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above, unless we are required by law to obtain your consent for a particular processing operation. In particular we process your personal data to pursue the following legitimate interests, either for ourselves, our merchants, our partners, or other third parties (including our merchants’ customers):
To provide merchants and others with our services and applications;
To prevent risk and fraud on our platform;
To provide communications, marketing, and advertising;
To provide reporting and analytics;
To help merchants find and integrate with apps through our app store;
To provide troubleshooting, support services, or to answer questions;
To test out features or additional services; and
To improve our services, applications, and websites.
When we process personal information to pursue these legitimate interests, we do so where we believe the nature of the processing, the information being processed, and the technical and organisational measures employed to protect that information can help mitigate the risks to the data subject.
While Flickrocket is a German company, we provide services to individuals and our technology processes data from users around the world. Accordingly, Flickrocket may transmit your personal information outside of the country, state, or province in which you are located.
13. Control over and access to your personal information
In the course of offering our services, Flickrocket uses a number of machine learning algorithms and forms of automated decision-making. For example, we use automated decision-making: to prevent risk and fraud by merchants; to help merchants avoid fraudulent transactions from their customers; to personalize merchants’ experience when they use our admin and app store; and to determine eligibility for certain services.
Most of these algorithms (excluding the personalization features and a subset of customer risk/fraud screening, discussed in more detail below) are not fully automated and include some human intervention (for example, customer risk and fraud scores are provided to merchants, who must intentionally decide how to act on them). Our personalization algorithms are fully automated, but only affect display features like how apps in the app store are presented to you. Similarly, we have a small subset of fully automated fraud screening blacklists, which, if we believe a transaction was made using stolen or fraudulent payment information, may stop a customer from completing a transaction--but only for a period of between a few hours and a few days.
Flickrocket understands that you have rights over your personal information, and takes reasonable steps to allow you to access, correct, amend, delete, port, or limit the use of your personal information. If you are a merchant or a partner, you can update many types of personal information, such as payment or contact information, directly within your account settings. If you are unable to change your personal information within your account settings, or if you are concerned about data collected as you visit Flickrocket’s websites or use our support services, please contact us to make the required changes. If you are a merchant’s customer and wish to exercise these rights, please contact the merchants you interacted with directly -- we serve as a processor on their behalf, and can only forward your request to them to allow them to respond. It’s important to remember that if you delete or limit the use of your personal information, the Services may not function properly. Additionally, if you would like to have your personal information erased, please use "Delete Account" feature of the shop's "My Content" section.
If you have any questions about your personal information or this policy, or if you would like to make a complaint about how Flickrocket processes your personal data, please contact Flickrocket by email at info@flickrocket.com or by using the contact details below:
