Use of Personal Data and Its Purposes Your data is collected and processed by Stonersbay for purposes strictly related to the use of the website, its services, and the purchase of products on www.stonersbay.ge.

Your personal data is mainly processed electronically and, in some cases, materially (documentary), such as when processing your personal data to prevent fraud on www.stonersbay.ge.

Your personal data is stored in a way that allows Stonersbay to identify you for a certain period for the purposes for which the personal data was collected and subsequently processed and, in any case, following applicable law. Please report any changes to your personal data in your account to ensure your data is accurate, up-to-date, relevant, and complete.

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties for purposes not permitted by law or without your explicit consent.

Disclosure of your personal data to third parties will only occur when necessary to process your order. Moreover, your data may be disclosed to the police or judicial authorities in accordance with the law or upon official request from such organizations, for example, when Stonersbay must prevent fraud.

Stonersbay will process your personal data for purposes strictly related to providing services on www.stonersbay.ge, executing the contract related to product purchase and sale on www.stonersbay.ge, and, upon your consent, to send you new commercial initiatives strictly related to the website's activities and services.

Stonersbay will process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including email, only after obtaining your consent. You can revoke your consent to data processing for direct marketing purposes at any time and in writing, including via email. In such cases, Stonersbay will cease processing your data for direct marketing purposes within 10 days of receiving your written notice.

Stonersbay may access third-party personal data directly disclosed by its customers, for example, when a customer purchases a product to be sent to a friend when the payer for the product differs from the recipient, or when a customer wishes to recommend Stonersbay.ge's services or a specific product to a friend. In such cases, please ensure you have obtained the consent of such persons for the disclosure of their data and inform them about this privacy policy. You will be responsible for the information and data disclosure related to such third parties, if they do not provide their express consent, and for any improper and unlawful information usage.

Stonersbay may disclose your personal information to third-party companies providing specific services on behalf of Stonersbay, as data processors or other recipients of personal data collected by Stonersbay, who automatically process personal data only for the execution of the product purchase contract purchased on www.stonersbay.ge.

  1. Disclosure of Personal Data to Stonersbay Providing your personal data to Stonersbay (specifically, your personal details, email address, address, credit/debit card numbers, and bank code and phone number) is necessary for processing your order for purchased products on www.stonersbay.ge, providing other services available on the website, responding to your requests, or fulfilling legal obligations required by law or regulations.

Your refusal to provide personal data to Stonersbay, which is necessary for the above-mentioned purposes, may result in our inability to process your order for products sold on www.stonersbay.ge or provide services available on www.stonersbay.ge, such as sending newsletters or fulfilling legal obligations.

This information and data are then processed collectively and anonymously for commercial purposes to improve services available on www.stonersbay.ge according to the needs and preferences of website users.

However, Stonersbay cannot guarantee that the security measures adopted for protecting the website and data transmission will prevent or exclude any risk of unlawful access or data loss.
