Purpose and legal basis

In order for our processing of your personal data to be legal, it is assumed that there is a legal basis for this, i.e. that it is necessary to fulfill an agreement with you or a legal obligation incumbent on us, or that the processing is done after a balancing of interests or that you have given your consent to a specific processing. Below are examples of the purposes for which we process your personal data and the legal basis on which this is done.

Bonbona processes your personal data for various purposes. Mainly, Bonbona processes your data for the following purposes and the following stated legal bases for the same:

One of our primary purposes for collecting personal data is to fulfill our obligations to you as a customer, such as processing and delivering your orders, invoicing and providing customer service and other commitments linked to the purchase of our products. For example, we may need to answer your questions via our customer service in connection with the purchase and send you information for product safety purposes, e.g. if any of our products need to be recalled, and otherwise assure us that legal requirements are complied with (for example, the Accounting Act).

Legal basis: Fulfillment of contract (conditions of sale) or legal obligation

Another main purpose is to be able to offer you good products and service through customized services and to deliver better services with more relevant content. We use the information we collect to be able to provide you with information about products you request, but also to understand our customers better. To achieve this, we conduct customer surveys, among other things. Furthermore, we analyze information about our customers' demographic and geographic conditions, interests and behavior based on the information we receive from our website or other services, so-called. profiling. Customer and market analysis and processing for statistical purposes are performed on an aggregated level and are not intended to identify individual customers.

We may therefore use the information about you for direct marketing, including so-called profiling, provided you have not instructed us not to do so. However, to the extent that you do not have a customer relationship with us or have had one in the last twelve months, we will only use your data for electronic direct marketing if you have given your consent. Your personal data can also be used for interest-based advertising on the internet via us or the digital advertising networks we cooperate with and which in some cases can be adapted to your interests based on information we have collected, so-called profiling.
