Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Abanknote.com (the "Site", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects information about visitors and registered users ("you"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

We process your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and applicable national data protection laws. Abanknote.com acts as the data controller of your personal data.

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our data practices, the features of the Site or technology. If we make material changes, we will post a clear notice on the Site.

If you do not agree with this Policy

By using the Site, you accept this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site. Continuing to use the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Policy.

If you share personal data about another person with us, you are responsible for informing them about this Policy.

Information we collect

Information you provide

• The email address you use to create an account and log in.
• Any additional details you add to your profile, your collection or want lists, or messages you send through the Site.

Information collected automatically

• Technical data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This data is stored in server log files, which may be hosted by a third-party provider.
• Cookies, which are small text files stored by your browser. We use them to keep you logged in, remember your preferences and understand how the Site is used.
• Account and session data linked to your account.

We do not collect special categories of personal data, such as information about racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life or sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, health, or genetic and biometric data.

How we use your information

We use your personal data to:

• create and secure your account;
• operate, maintain and improve the Site and its catalog;
• send a confirmation email to verify the address you registered with;
• send service emails about your account, security, support or maintenance;
• detect, prevent and report suspicious, fraudulent or illegal activity;
• inform you about important changes to our Terms or this Policy.

We do not sell your personal data or anonymous data to third parties.

How we share your information

We do not disclose your personal data to third parties, except as described in this Policy or when required by law.

We may disclose information when necessary to comply with the law, a court order or a request from a competent authority, to defend against legal claims, to investigate suspected illegal activity, to enforce our Terms, or to protect the rights, safety and security of the Site, our users or the public.

Service providers that process data on our behalf (for example hosting or email delivery) may only do so according to our instructions, in line with this Policy, applicable data protection laws and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

If the Site or its assets are transferred to a new owner, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. The new owner will be bound by the obligations described in this Policy.

The Site may link to third-party websites, such as marketplaces or auction sites. These websites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

How long we keep your data

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active and as long as needed for the purposes described above. After your account is closed, we may retain some information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our Terms.

Your rights

Under data protection law, you have the right to:

• access your personal data;
• correct inaccurate personal data;
• request erasure of your personal data;
• object to the processing of your personal data;
• request restriction of processing;
• request a copy of your data in a portable format;
• withdraw your consent at any time.

Exercising these rights is free of charge. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. If you withdraw consent, some features may no longer be available, and we will tell you if this is the case. In some situations we may continue processing your data if another legal basis applies.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your country of residence.

How to make a request

To exercise any of your rights or to close your account, email us at hello@abanknote.com.

Where we store your data

Your data is stored on secure servers located in the European Union. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled securely and in line with this Policy, and that any third parties we work with apply similar organizational and technical safeguards.

Security

We protect your personal data using encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access to stored data and other industry-standard measures. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
