Privacy policy

01

Who is responsible

The controller is Peter Hadžega, trading as TechGoZone, Business ID (IČO) 54000157, Hiadeľ 224, 976 61 Hiadeľ, Slovakia. Contact: info@techgozone.com. We process data under GDPR and Slovak Act No. 18/2018.

02

What data we use

You provide contact details, delivery and billing addresses, order details, account information and messages. Payment services process payment information. When you visit, Shopify and connected tools may collect IP address, browser/device information, cookie identifiers and usage events. We use only data relevant to the stated purpose.

03

Purposes and legal bases

Orders, delivery, accounts, returns and related communication: performance of a contract or steps at your request before it. Accounting and statutory duties: legal obligation. Security, fraud prevention and defending claims: legitimate interests, balanced against your rights. Optional cookies and marketing: consent where required. Ordering or registering does not automatically consent to marketing. Required order data are needed to fulfil your order.

04

Who may receive data

We do not sell customer lists or give partners data for their unrelated marketing. Necessary recipients include Shopify and technical providers operating the store, payment providers, carriers and fulfilment partners, and accounting advisers where needed. They receive only data needed for their task. Authorities may receive data when required by law. The optional services below involve separate data processing.

05

Shopify, analytics and cookies

We use purchase and order metrics to evaluate how the online store works. Measurement may include order value, device information and cookie identifiers. Optional analytics and advertising measurement is subject to consent where required.

Google & YouTube conversion measurement is enabled; enhanced conversions and Customer Match are disabled. The Meta integration currently uses Enhanced sharing, including Meta Pixel, advanced matching and Conversions API. Shopify Network Intelligence is enabled and may use customer and activity data across its platform to improve services, personalization and ad targeting. Essential cookies support the cart, checkout and security. Optional analytics and advertising cookies are used with consent where required; manage your choices in the cookie banner. Rejecting them does not prevent an order. See the linked providers' privacy information for details.

06

Newsletter and social links

A newsletter subscription is separate from an order or account. Where we send newsletters, it is on the basis of your separate consent; you can unsubscribe using the message link or contact us. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing or cancel your account. Following a social-media link opens the relevant provider’s service, whose privacy rules apply there.

07

How long we keep data

We retain order and communication data while needed for the contract, returns, legal duties and claims within applicable limitation periods. Accounting records subject to the statutory retention duty are kept for 10 years following the relevant year. Account data are retained while the account is maintained and then only for remaining lawful purposes. Consent-based marketing data are used until withdrawal; a minimal opt-out record may remain to respect your choice. Cookie lifetimes vary by provider; retention is reviewed and unnecessary data are deleted or anonymized.

08

International processing

The store’s Shopify hosting region is the EU, but Shopify, connected services and fulfilment partners may process necessary data outside the EEA. Transfers must meet GDPR requirements, using an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, as applicable. Ask us for information about relevant recipients and safeguards; Shopify’s transfer information is linked below.

10.1

Connection to Shopify

To display products, images, categories and search results, the app sends the relevant catalogue requests, search terms and selected catalogue language to Shopify and loads product media from the relevant hosting services. These services receive the IP address and technical network information needed to handle the connection. When you continue to checkout, the app sends the selected product variant identifiers and quantities to Shopify to create a cart. These operations provide the shopping functions you request; applicable purposes, recipients and international-processing safeguards are described above. Connections to the Shopify API use HTTPS.

10.2

Data stored on your device

The app stores selected products and quantities, product comparisons, recently viewed products and product-interest scores used to arrange recommendations, together with app preferences such as language. These recommendation interests are processed locally rather than uploaded as a separate interest profile by the app. Search terms used to obtain catalogue results are sent to Shopify as explained above. Local records remain until removed, replaced by the app or cleared through Android settings. You can clear the app’s storage in Android settings to reset these records. Android backup or device transfer may retain or restore app data according to your device and Google account settings; manage those backups separately.

10.3

Checkout and payment

The app opens Shopify’s web checkout in an external browser or another compatible application. Delivery, billing, customer-account and payment details are entered there, not into a native payment form in this app. The app itself does not collect or store payment-card details. The store and relevant payment providers process the checkout data under these rules and their own applicable privacy information. Cookies, consent choices and the web analytics described in section 05 apply when you use the store website or web checkout; this does not mean those web tools are embedded as native tracking SDKs in the app.

10.4

Contact and device access

If you use the contact form, the name, email address, country and message you enter are passed to an email application so you can review and send the message to info@techgozone.com. The message is sent when you send it through that application. The current app does not include native advertising, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics or push-notification SDKs, and does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts or precise location.
