1. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.
2. Processing is necessary for entering or performance of our contract. You provide a billing address and email address when your purchase an item from our website so that we can process your payment and send you your order confirmation.

 Right to restriction of processing. You have the right to obtain restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of such data and you request the restriction of their use instead.

Where You have objected to processing for direct marketing purposes we shall no longer process Your personal data for such purposes.
2. Right to withdraw consent. Where the processing is based on your written consent you have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
