This website and online shop are operated by
Black Panther M & C UG (haftungsbeschränkt),

(the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

We provide this website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services (the “Services”), to offer you a personalised shopping experience. Our store is hosted on Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose your personal data when you visit, use or make a purchase through the Services, or otherwise communicate with us. In the event of any conflict between our Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy shall prevail with respect to the collection, processing and disclosure of personal data.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

What personal data do we collect or process?

When we refer to “personal data”, we mean information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual. Personal data does not include information that has been anonymised or aggregated so that it can no longer be associated with an individual.

• Contact details, including name, billing address, delivery address, telephone number and email address  
• Financial information, including payment card details, payment confirmations, transaction details and payment methods  
• Account information, such as usernames, passwords and account settings
