Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), the data controller is:

eShopFoundry is currently a project in pre-company/beta stage and has not yet been incorporated as a separate legal entity.

2. Personal Data We Collect

When you use the "Notify Me" form on our website, we collect:

• your email address;

During the beta testing campaign, we collect:

• information necessary to manage your participation in the eShopFoundry beta;
• technical information that may be automatically collected when you visit the website, such as IP address, browser type or device information, where applicable.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through the beta waiting list.

3. How We Use Your Email Address

We use your email address to:

• manage the eShopFoundry beta waiting list;
• contact you when beta access becomes available;
• provide you with information and links necessary to access the beta;
• contact you regarding your participation in the beta;
• send you requests for feedback or questionnaires concerning your experience with eShopFoundry;
• respond to requests or communications you send to us.

We will not use your email address to send unrelated promotional or advertising communications unless we have an appropriate legal basis to do so.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, we process your personal data on the basis of:

• your request to receive information and access to the eShopFoundry beta;
• our legitimate interests in managing, developing and improving the eShopFoundry beta;
• your consent, where consent is required by applicable law.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

5. Beta Feedback

If you choose to provide feedback through our questionnaire, we may process the information you voluntarily provide in order to:

• identify bugs or usability problems;
• understand how users interact with eShopFoundry;
• improve the product;
• develop future features.

We may use aggregated or anonymised feedback for product development and analysis.

We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through the feedback questionnaire.

6. Email Service Providers and Other Third Parties

We may use third-party service providers to operate the website, store information and send emails.

These providers may process personal data on our behalf where necessary to provide their services.

The providers currently used by eShopFoundry are:

• Email provider: Zoho.eu / Resend.com
• Website hosting: Google.com
• Database: Neon.tech

We will update this Privacy Policy if the providers we use materially change.

Where required by GDPR, we will ensure that appropriate contractual and technical safeguards are in place.

7. International Data Transfers

Some service providers we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will rely on an appropriate legal mechanism under applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, where required.

8. Data Retention

We retain your email address for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the eShopFoundry beta and related communications.

If you ask us to delete your email address, we will delete it unless we have a legal reason to retain it.

Feedback data may be retained for longer where reasonably necessary for product development, security, legal or analytical purposes, preferably in aggregated or anonymised form where possible.

• request correction of inaccurate data;
• request deletion of your data;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to certain processing;
