The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at bindt.org. We use the information to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update our records and generally maintain your accounts with us.

To process your information, we mainly rely on the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract: The use of your information is necessary to perform the contract that you have with us.
Legitimate interests: We may use your information for our legitimate interests, such as to provide you with membership services and benefits, a suitable website experience, emails or newsletters, or to improve and promote our products and services, along with administrative and fraud prevention and detection.
Consent: We may rely on your consent to use the personal information for certain products, such as membership renewal and for direct marketing purposes for information about your membership. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
Please also note:

  • Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others.
  • We will not send you marketing material unless you have given us permission to do so.

How secure is information about me?
