When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.
Email marketing: Only with your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.
How do we use this information?
Hi Mark International Ltd will only process information that is necessary for the purpose for which it has been collected. You will always have the option not to receive marketing communications from us, and you can withdraw your consent or object at any time. We will never send you unsolicited ‘junk’ email or communications or share your personal information with anyone else who might.
How do we share this information?
We do not sell your information to third parties, but we use cookies that allow our website to communicate with you most effectively. Please see the Cookie section below.
How long do we keep your information for?
We will not hold your personal information in an identifiable format for any longer than is necessary. If you are a customer or otherwise have a relationship with us we will hold personal information about you for a longer period than if we have obtained your details in connection with a prospective relationship.
How can you manage the information we hold about you?
You have the right as an individual to access your personal information we hold about you and make corrections if necessary. You also have the right to withdraw any consent you have previously given us and ask us to erase information we hold about you.

How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
Do you disclose personal information?
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
How do you secure my information?
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with industry accepted data encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

Here is our GDPR and e-Privacy compliant notice asking for consent to set cookies:
It complies with the regulations, because of the following:
• First and foremost, albeit invisible to the naked eye, all loaded scripts but the strictly necessary ones are paused until the consent to the cookies has been given. This feature is called ‘prior consent’ and is a requirement of both the GDPR and the e-Privacy Directive. In the GDPR, you must have consent to setting cookies that track personal data, whereas in the e-Privacy Directive, you need user consent before setting any kind of cookies other than those strictly necessary.
• The information about the cookies is accurate and specific, and is presented in a clear and plain language, all requirements of the GDPR.
• If the user chooses to have the details shown, the notice folds out into a complete overview of all active cookies and online tracking in use on the website. The list is based on a monthly scan of all of the pages of the website, that detects and identifies all of the cookies and known tracking technologies in use on the site. The cookies are listed complete with origin, duration and purpose descriptions.
• The cookies are grouped into four comprehensive categories, that the user may check or uncheck. Necessary cookies cannot be unchecked, because they are whitelisted and are necessary for the website to function properly. Cookie categories that don’t handle personal data may be pre-checked, whereas those that do, must be actively opted into by the user to be compliant.
• In our GDPR and e-Privacy compliant notice asking for consent to set cookies, the user has control over whether the Preferences, Statistics or Marketing boxes are checked.
• The user has access to their state of consent on the website and can at any time change their mind about the consent and choose to withdraw it.
• All given consents are securely stored as documentation that the consent has been given, which is also a GDPR requirement.
• Every 12 months, upon the user’s first visit to the site, the consent pops up again asking for a renewal of the consent.
