  1. Most processing takes place in the European Union or the European Economic Area. Some recipients may transfer data to third countries, mainly the United States.
  2. Transfers to Google, Meta and Zendesk in the United States are based on either:

This transfer is necessary to perform the contract you asked for (Article 49(1)(b) GDPR). Norway and the United Kingdom are covered by adequacy arrangements.

    • the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing. If you object to direct marketing, we will stop using your data for it;
    • the right to withdraw your consent at any time, where processing is based on consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before you withdrew it.
  2. You can exercise your rights by e-mail to info@flexitylife.eu or by letter to our registered office. We reply without undue delay and at the latest within one month. If a request is complex, or we receive many requests, we can extend this by two further months. We will tell you about any extension and the reasons for it. Exercising your rights is free of charge.

  3. If you believe that our processing of your personal data breaches the law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Our lead supervisory authority is:

    Hraničná 12, 820 07 Bratislava 27, Slovakia
    www.dataprotection.gov.sk

    You can also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the EU member state where you live or work, or where the alleged breach took place.

7. Whether you must give us your data

  1. The data needed to conclude and perform the purchase contract is a contractual requirement. Without it we cannot accept your order.
  2. The data needed to issue an invoice is a legal requirement under tax and accounting law.
  3. Giving data for marketing based on consent is voluntary and is not a condition of purchase.

8. Automated decision-making and profiling

  1. We do not make automated individual decisions that have legal effects on you or similarly significantly affect you within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.
  2. For marketing, we may carry out limited profiling. Based on your purchase and interaction history, we adapt the content of advertising and newsletters so that it is more relevant to you. This profiling has no legal effects on you. You can object at any time to processing for direct marketing, including profiling (Article 6).
  3. We do not personalise prices for individual customers.

8a. AI in customer support

  1. The chat on our website is handled by an automated assistant (an AI system) together with a human operator. Part of a conversation may therefore be processed, and replies generated, by an AI system, and part is handled by a member of our team.
  2. In line with Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), we tell you clearly at the start of the conversation that you are communicating with an AI system. The same notice is shown in the chat window.
  3. If you want to, or if your question goes beyond what the assistant can handle, a human operator takes over. You can ask for a person at any time in the chat or by e-mail to info@flexitylife.eu.
  4. In the chat we process the content of your conversation, the contact details you give us and any related order details. The purpose and legal basis are described in Article 2.4. The provider of the chat platform and AI layer acts as our processor (Article 4).
  5. The assistant provides information and support. It does not make automated individual decisions that have legal effects on you or similarly significantly affect you (Article 8).

9. Cookies

9.1 What cookies are

  1. A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser or device when you visit it. When you come back, the website reads the file and recognises your device or remembers some of your settings or behaviour.
  2. In this policy, "cookies" also covers similar technologies with the same function, such as pixels, local storage, session storage, SDKs and device identifiers.
  3. We use cookies so that the website works properly (for example so that your cart keeps its contents as you move between pages), to understand how the website is used, and to measure and improve our advertising. Not all cookies process personal data. Where cookie data can identify a person directly or indirectly, the GDPR applies.
  4. First-party cookies are set by the domain flexitylife.eu. Third-party cookies are set by the providers of services we use on the website (for example analytics or advertising tools). Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them.

9.2 Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary cookies (no consent needed). These cookies are needed for the website to work and to provide the service you asked for, for example displaying pages, logging in, keeping the cart contents, processing orders, security and remembering your cookie choice. We use them without consent under Section 109(8) of Act No. 452/2021 Coll. You cannot switch them off in the consent banner, but you can block them in your browser settings. Some parts of the website may then not work properly.

Analytics cookies (only with consent). These help us understand how visitors use the website: which pages they visit, how they move around and where problems occur. We use this to improve content and usability. We set these cookies only with your consent.

Marketing cookies (only with consent). These are used to target and measure advertising, to build remarketing audiences and to evaluate campaigns on our website and on third-party platforms. They may involve profiling (making assumptions about your interests). We set these cookies only with your consent.

The legal basis for strictly necessary cookies is Section 109(8) of Act No. 452/2021 Coll. The legal basis for analytics and marketing cookies is your consent under Section 109(8) of Act No. 452/2021 Coll. and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

  1. On your first visit, a cookie banner appears. It offers equal buttons "Accept" and "Reject", and "Settings", where you can give consent separately for each category (analytics, marketing). Rejecting is as easy as accepting.
  2. Until you give consent, we do not store or read any cookies other than strictly necessary ones. Analytics and marketing cookies are activated only after you consent to that category. If you do not consent, or you reject cookies, the strictly necessary cookies still work and you can still shop.
  3. We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you give consent, Google analytics and advertising tools are set to the denied state and do not use cookies that could identify you. When you give or withdraw consent, your choice is passed on to these tools immediately.
  4. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using the "Edit cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal.
  5. You can also manage cookies directly in your browser: block them, delete stored cookies or ask to be warned before a cookie is stored. The steps differ by browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and others) and are in the browser's help pages. Blocking all cookies may limit how the website works.

The table lists the main cookies and providers. Exact cookie names, domains and lifetimes can change with the configuration of the tools. We keep the list up to date based on regular scans of the website.

9.5 Third-party providers and their policies

  1. If you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, the providers process the data as independent controllers or as processors under their own terms. Some providers are based outside the EU (mainly in the USA). Such transfers are based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or on standard contractual clauses (see Articles 4 and 5).

  2. Provider policies:

    If an address changes, you will find the current version on the provider's website.

10. Changes to this policy

  1. We may update this policy, in particular when the law, the tools we use or the way we process data change. The current version is always available at www.flexitylife.eu/privacy-cookie-policy/.
  2. If we make significant changes to processing based on consent, we will tell you and, where needed, ask for your consent again.
  3. This version takes effect on 1 September 2026 (version 2026-09) and replaces all earlier versions of the privacy and cookie policy of the store.
