  • Consent: when you consent to newsletters, optional analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or another activity requiring consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

5. Customer Accounts

You may create a customer account to manage orders, addresses, wishlists, and other account features. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for notifying us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

We use your identity, contact, billing, and order information to process purchases, confirm availability, issue invoices, collect payment, arrange delivery, process returns or refunds, and provide customer support.

Payments may be processed by banks, card networks, payment gateways, or other payment-service providers. Payment providers process payment data according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

Europe SolarShop serves customers worldwide. Some of our service providers, logistics partners, or technical systems may be located outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") or your country of residence.

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we use appropriate safeguards where required, such as an adequacy decision, approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

You may contact us for additional information about safeguards applicable to relevant international data transfers.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including local storage, tags, pixels, and identifiers. Cookies are small data files stored on your device when you visit a website.

We may use the following categories of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: required for core website functions, security, shopping-cart management, checkout, account login, language selection, and storage of privacy preferences.

  • Analytics cookies: help us understand website traffic, page performance, and how visitors use our website.
  • Advertising cookies: may be used to measure advertising performance, limit repeated advertisements, and provide more relevant marketing.

Strictly necessary cookies may be set without consent where permitted by law because they are required to provide services requested by you. Optional analytics and advertising technologies are used only after the required consent has been obtained.

You can accept, reject, or change your optional cookie preferences through the cookie-consent tool available on our website. You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may prevent some website functions from operating correctly.

12. Analytics and Advertising

Subject to your cookie preferences, we may use analytics and advertising technologies to understand website performance, measure conversions, and improve our services and marketing.

These technologies may collect information such as your IP address, device information, browser identifiers, pages visited, products viewed, referral source, approximate location, and interactions with advertisements.

Depending on the tools enabled on our website, providers may include Google services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Google Tag Manager, as well as Meta advertising services. These providers act according to their own privacy terms and may process information outside your country.

Optional analytics and advertising technologies are not activated until you provide consent where consent is legally required. You may withdraw or update your consent at any time through our cookie settings.

13. Marketing Communications

We may send newsletters, product announcements, promotions, or other marketing communications where you have consented or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

You can unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included in a marketing email or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending service messages relating to your account, orders, payments, deliveries, warranties, or customer-support requests.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business and accounting records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.

Retention periods depend on the type of data, the purpose for which it was collected, applicable limitation periods, and tax, customs, accounting, consumer-protection, warranty, or other legal requirements.

When personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted, anonymised, or securely restricted from further use, unless continued retention is required by law.

  • Request transmission of eligible data to another controller where technically feasible
  • Submit a complaint to a competent data-protection supervisory authority

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Certain rights may be limited where processing or retention is required by law or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

16. Automated Decision-Making

We do not ordinarily make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.

Automated tools may be used to detect potentially fraudulent, suspicious, or unauthorized transactions. Where necessary, transactions identified by these tools may be reviewed before an order is accepted or processed.

17. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or unauthorized access.

These measures may include encrypted website connections, access controls, password protection, secure hosting, backups, monitoring, software updates, and restrictions on access to personal data.

No internet transmission or electronic-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should not send complete card details, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email.

18. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties. We do not control and are not responsible for their privacy practices, security, availability, or content.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.

19. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults and businesses and are not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under 16.

If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
