We need this information to process your order internally and delivering the ordered products to your location. We also need this information for invoicing and after that, bookkeeping and other mandatory administrative duties.

If you contact our customer service, we will process your above-mentioned customer details, as well as your message and our replies to you.

Within the Fibox group, your personal data may be transferred between different Fibox locations globally as we may have organized some of our group internal processes in a way that requires such transfers to take place.

We also limit the shared data to what is necessary for the purpose of each transfer.

We also use service providers (data processors) who, in some cases, operate outside of the EU/EEA area or may transfer personal data to their sub-processors operating outside the EU/EEA. Also these transfers are always governed by appropriate safeguards, such as the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
