World Luxury Gadget uses Zakeke, a product customization platform provided by Futurenext S.r.l., to offer interactive product customization services.

Customers may upload logos, images, PDF files and text to create personalized designs and preview products before completing their purchases.

Zakeke processes personal data on behalf of World Luxury Gadget under the applicable contractual and data protection arrangements.

According to Zakeke’s published contractual terms, assets associated with an account are deleted six months after termination of the subscription. This does not necessarily represent the retention period for individual files while the subscription remains active.

Customization files are subject to the applicable processing purposes, service arrangements, retention requirements and data protection obligations.

Customers should avoid uploading personal or sensitive information that is unnecessary for product customization.

Further information about Zakeke’s contractual and data protection arrangements is available at:

Payment service providers may act as independent data controllers or data processors depending on their respective processing activities and legal obligations.

Orders and accounting records

Relevant accounting, invoicing and transaction documentation is generally retained for ten years in accordance with applicable Italian legal requirements, without prejudice to longer periods required by law or pending disputes.

World Luxury Gadget does not maintain a separate customer logo archive for future repeat orders.

Customization files may remain in Zakeke’s systems and within authorized production systems for the periods required by the relevant services and applicable data protection arrangements.

Under Zakeke’s published contractual terms, account-related assets are deleted six months after termination of the subscription, without prejudice to other applicable provisions concerning individual files and legally required retention.

Customer support communications

Information submitted through contact forms and customer support channels is retained for the period reasonably necessary to handle the relevant request and, where justified, establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Newsletter information

Newsletter data is processed for the relevant marketing purposes until consent is withdrawn or the applicable retention period expires.

Limited information may be retained where necessary to document consent, demonstrate compliance with legal obligations or respect unsubscribe requests.

Technical and security information

Technical logs and related information are retained for periods determined by legitimate operational and security requirements and applicable law.

When continued retention is no longer justified, personal data is deleted or anonymized in accordance with applicable legislation.

10. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

World Luxury Gadget works with technology, production and logistics partners that may operate outside the European Economic Area, including in China.

Where necessary for the fulfilment of orders and the provision of services, personal data may be transferred to recipients located outside the European Economic Area.

Such transfers are subject to the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR.

China is not covered by a general adequacy decision of the European Commission under Article 45 GDPR.

Where required, transfers to recipients in countries without an applicable adequacy decision must rely on an appropriate legal mechanism.

Depending on the recipient and circumstances, relevant mechanisms may include Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission, together with any supplementary measures necessary to ensure the required level of protection, or other transfer mechanisms permitted under applicable law.
