Version: 17 July 2022

Your privacy is important to us. That’s why we’ve set up a policy for handling personal data. On this page, we aim to provide a concise and understandable overview of the data we process and the measures we have taken to protect it. Should you have any questions regarding this policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

In this privacy policy we differentiate between personal data (data that can be directly linked to an individual), pseudo-anonymous data (data processed in such a way that it can not be traced back to an individual without the use of additional data, but that does separate individuals) and anonymous data.

At the bottom of this page, you can find more information about your rights and opportunities for opting out of certain usage of your personal data.

Data in the Order Process

When you place an order, we ask you to  provide personal data. This includes your full name, address, e-mail and phone number. This data may be saved from the moment you enter it, in order to be able to send reminders about abandoned orders. We use your personal data for processing your order and marketing activities related to your order only. We will never sell your data. We will also never share your data with any party that is not involved in processes taking place for these purposes.

Payment Processing

In order to process your payment, personal data may be passed on to the payment processor. Payments are processed by the following organizations:

In order to offer you Klarna’s payment methods, we might in the checkout pass your personal data in the form of contact and order details to Klarna, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment methods and to tailor those payment methods for you. Your personal data transferred is processed in line with Klarna’s own privacy notice.

All data is transferred over a secure and encrypted connection. If you choose to save your credit card details, these will be stored by Stripe, Inc. in a secure manner. Snack.je can never access these details.

Payments processed by Klarna Bank AB (publ). or PayPal may be subject to automated fraud prevention checks.

We will share transaction data with our payment services providers only to the extent necessary for processing your payments, refunds, or dealing with payment queries.

Shipping EU

In order to ship your order, your personal details will be passed on to SendCloud B.V. (privacy policy). Your name, address and contact details may then be handed over to the carrier in your country of destination.  Shipments are made by DPD (privacy policy) or DHL Parcel (privacy policy NL) which may at their discretion hand over parcels to other carriers (particularly for international shipping).

Shipping Word Wide Express

In order to ship your non-EU order, your personal details will be passed on to United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (UPS) (privacy policy). Your name, address and contact details may then be handed over to the carrier in your country of destination.  Shipments are made by UPS which may at their discretion hand over parcels to other carriers (particularly for international shipping).

Marketing

We may show you advertisements on third party platforms based on your order. When we use data for marketing, personal data is (pseudo-)anonymized prior to usage. For instance, Facebook remarketing data is hashed prior to use.

International Processing

Your personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Third parties involved in our marketing activities, payment processing and data collection are situated in the United States. The European Commission has made an “adequacy decision” with respect to the data protection laws of this country. Transfers will be protected by appropriate safeguards, namely the use of standard data protection clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission and/or specific measures taken by these third parties to be compliant with European data protection legislation.

Types of Data

European legislation requires us to provide information on the types of data we collect, and the legal basis for processing this data:

  • We may collect and process usage data. The usage data may include your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. The sources of the usage data are Google Analytics (pseudo-anonymized) and the website itself. This usage data may be processed for analyzing the use of our website, as well as security. The legal basis for this processing is consent as well as our legitimate interests in monitoring, securing and improving our website.

Data Profiling

Collecting, analyzing and combining data is called data profiling. This can be applied to find patterns in  data, which can provide valuable insights. We may apply data profiling for marketing activities, particularly to reach new audiences that are similar to existing customers or website visitors. We will, however, take measures to protect your data:

  • Data profiling will often be executed by third parties, such as Facebook. The data we provide to such third parties will be limited only to the required data points.
  • We will not use data of those who have opted out (read more at the bottom of this page).
  • All data we provide to third parties will be hashed.
  • All data is stored securely and will be encrypted.
  • Upon analyzing data, we will (pseudo-)anonymize data to the furthest possible extent.
