In such cases, we may have to cancel the products or services you have with us, and we will notify you at that time.
2. How We Use Your Personal Information
The Order Information we collect is primarily used to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud;
- Provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services, in line with the preferences you have shared with us.
The Device Information we collect is used to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
We may also use your device’s IP address or browser location to determine your approximate region in order to display prices in your local currency, estimate shipping costs, or provide region-specific content. We do not store or track precise location data.
We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to, usually in the following circumstances:
- To perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
- To protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party (such as fraud prevention, IT security, use of customer data, etc.), provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. We promise that the use of data is fair and proportionate to users;
- To comply with requests from administrative or judicial authorities based on legal obligations;
- To provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services, in line with the preferences you have shared with us.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal information, although we will obtain your explicit consent before sending you third-party direct marketing communications via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw your consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.

5. Do Not Track
Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
6. Data Retention
When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may also retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law, we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
7. International Data Transfers
minisovip’s operations involve resources and servers located in different regions. To provide products and services, we may need to transfer your personal information among several countries. Authorized minisovip personnel and third parties acting on our behalf may access, use and process personal information collected from you in a country/region that is different from the country/region where you entered the personal data, which may have less stringent data protection laws.
When we transfer your personal information to other countries/regions, we will protect that personal information as described in this Policy or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time the data is collected (e.g., via privacy notice or supplementary statement of specific product or service).
With respect to personal data coming from the EU or the UK, we comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK. We use a variety of legal mechanisms, such as standard contractual clauses to implement the cross-border transfer of your personal data; or implement security measures like anonymization on the data before the cross-border data transfer.
8. Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
9. Your Rights Over Your Information
Depending on where you live, how you use minisovip, and subject to certain exceptions, you may have some or all of the following rights. You can contact us in the following ways to exercise these rights:
- Right to Know: The right to request that we disclose to you the Personal Data we collect, use, or disclose about you, and information about our data practices;
- Right to Request Correction: The right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Data that we maintain about you;
- Right to Request Deletion: The right to request that we delete Personal Data that we have collected about you;

No fee usually required: You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In some cases, we may need to collect additional information to verify your identity, such as your email address.
Time limit to respond: We try to respond to all legitimate requests within 45 calendar days. Occasionally it could take us longer than 45 days (within 90 days) if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
Request the Closure of Your Account and the Deletion of Your Personal Information: You can submit a request for us to permanently close your minisovip account and delete your personal information by contacting our customer service. Please note that once your account is closed, all products and services accessed through your account will no longer be available to you, and the account cannot be restored. If you decide later that you want to start ordering from us again, or if you would like to use website features that require an account, you'll need to create a new account. A confirmation notification will be sent to the email address associated with your account or via text message after the account is successfully closed.
