    Lawful Basis for Processing

    In alignment with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), if you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data under the following lawful bases:

    • You've given your consent.
    • The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and Clairamor.
    • We're complying with our legal obligations.
    • It's necessary to protect your vital interests.
    • We're performing a task for the public interest.

    At Clairamor, we do participate in fully automated decision-making that bears legal or other significant effects using customer data.

    However, our processor, Shopify, employs limited automated decision-making to deter fraud. This does not have a legal or substantial effect on you. Services that consist of automated decision-making elements are:

    • Temporarily blacklisting IP addresses linked with consecutive failed transactions. This blacklist is maintained for a brief period of hours.
    • Temporarily blacklisting credit cards connected to blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist lasts for a short span of days.
