The personal data we collect includes the following:
- Personal data, including payment-related data, that you provide to us when registering or making a purchase through the Site (we refer to this data as "Order Data");
- Content you create when interacting with our customer service team, including information we need to contact you and verify your identity;

We may allow you to share information with social media sites or use social media sites to create your account or link your account to the applicable social media site. These social media sites may provide us with automatic access to certain personal information they hold about you (such as the content you view, the content you like, and information about the advertisements you have been shown or may have clicked on). If we receive this information, we will use it to further customize your KLIMCHI experience.
When we refer to "personal information" in this privacy policy, we mean both device information and order information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
We use the personal information we collect to: provide and improve our services, provide a personalized experience on our site, contact you about your account, provide customer service, provide personalized advertising and marketing, and detect, prevent, mitigate, and investigate fraudulent or illegal activity.

We process Personal Data related to your interaction (transactions, site visits, application usage) with KLIMCHI in order to personalize your experience with KLIMCHI. This processing constitutes profiling under the GDPR and we process your Personal Data in this way because it is in our legitimate interest to offer you a personalized experience on our site and to provide you with personalized advertising and marketing.
We keep your personal data as long as it is necessary and relevant for our activity. In addition, we may retain personal information from closed accounts to comply with legal requirements, prevent fraud, and resolve disputes. If a legal requirement imposes an obligation to retain personal data for a certain minimum period, we will retain the data for at least this period. When we determine the maximum retention period for any personal data we retain, we do so having regard to our legitimate data retention interests, our obligation under the GDPR to minimize the data we retain, and what we retain as personal data must be reasonable; the nature and sensitivity of personal information and the potential risk of harm from the unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information.
We use and store your personal data to provide, improve and personalize our services:
- to offer you site content that includes items and services you may like and to track your shopping cart

We keep your personal data as long as it is necessary and relevant for our activity. In addition, we may retain personal information from canceled accounts to comply with legal requirements, prevent fraud, and resolve disputes. Once it is no longer necessary for us to retain your personal data, we will dispose of it securely in accordance with our data retention and deletion policy.
