8, data saving and deletion
If you close your account, we will delete all data stored by us related to you. If it is not possible to completely delete your data due to legal reasons, the relevant data will be blocked from further processing. If data is blocked, technical and organizational measures will be taken to ensure that only a few employees can access the relevant data as needed, and only for specific purposes (such as tax audits). Blocking will occur in the following situations:
- (A) Your order and payment details, as well as other detailed information, are usually subject to various legal obligations for retention, such as those stipulated in the Commercial Code and the Tax Code. The law requires us to retain this data for up to ten years during tax audits and material audits. Only after this period can we finally delete the relevant data.
- (B) Even if your data is not subject to any legal retention obligations, we may choose to temporarily block deletion and initiate blocking where permitted by law. This situation is usually used when we may need to use the relevant data for further contract processing, litigation, or legal defense (for example, in complaint cases). The duration of the blocking is mainly determined by the statutory limitation period. After the relevant limitation period expires, the relevant data will ultimately be deleted.
According to the law, if the data is anonymous or pseudonymous, and deleting it would exclude or seriously hinder scientific research or statistical purposes, then deletion can be waived.

We use technical and organizational measures to protect our systems. When it comes to your orders and customer login, we use SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) to securely transmit your personal data.
