We retain and use only the personal data that we receive directly from you for the purpose of the service you have requested, or of which it is clear at the time of receipt that this data is provided to us for the purpose of processing.

Depending on the services and functionalities you use on our website, we may process the following personal data of you:

Purpose of collecting data
Mega Collections collect personal data for a number of reasons. These reasons are as follows:

  • For sending newsletters via MailChimp. Your name and email address are collected via the designated form on the website. You may also be asked verbally or by text to register.
  • Your data is collected whenever you contact Mega Collections via the website. This will allow us to contact you later to provide you with our service. However, this form will only request the details necessary to offer you a proposal or service, such as your name, company name, email address, telephone number, and order number and description if applicable.
  • If you apply to create a webshop account, your address details and VAT number will also be requested. Address details and a VAT number are necessary to create a purchase agreement via the webshop. A delivery address is necessary to make a delivery.
  • Mega Collections’s website collects your details to improve the website. This is done using Google Analytics. Since these details are anonymous, they are not linked to your personal details.

  • We follow your surfing behaviour across various websites to gear our products and services to your requirements.

    We will only provide your personal data to third parties if this is required for the performance of our agreement with you or to meet a statutory obligation.

    Whenever we provide your details to a third party, we ensure, among other things, that your details are not used for other purposes and that they are deleted as soon as they are no longer required.

    • The newsletters are sent via MailChimp. At the time you sign up for the newsletter, your email address and first name are automatically saved in the designated list in MailChimp.
    • Mega Collections’s email application is hosted by Mega Collections. If you get in touch with us via the digital forms or email, the emails you send are saved on Mega Collections’ servers.

      Your visit to our website is also secured by an SSL certificate. This means that your connection to the Mega Collections website is private. This security is indicated by the padlock symbol in front of the url.

      We will never retain your personal data longer than necessary. This means that we will only retain your data for as long as is necessary to supply the service you have requested. An exception to this is the details we are legally obliged to retain.

      Profiling and cookies
      We merge your personal details from a variety of sources to ensure that we can offer you the best online experience. We also combine these details with the details you enter on our website. Merging your details allows us to present you with personalised offers and content that should be of interest to you on the website and in the webshop. We can also use this method to personalise our newsletter sent to you. This allows us to provide better and more targeted offers. It also means we can avoid showing you content and offers on the website that are of less interest to you.
