Tonga BV provides your data to a limited circle of third parties that process the data for administrative purposes:

• Transporters: to send your package, we transfer only your name and address details to the carrier of your package: Orders within the Netherlands or Belgium are delivered by a transport company in your own region. Shipments to other EU countries are handled by TNT.
• Data analysis: in order to continuously improve our website, we only pass on data in anonymised form to the party with whom we perform data analysis, Google Analytics. These visitor date are non-personal. No user IDs are used or stored. The data are made anonymous for the analytics reports. Tonga BV has concluded a processing agreement with Google with regard to Google Analytics. This stipulates that Google only acts as a processor in the processing of the personal data of website visitors. We chose to let Google anonymise IP addresses by masking the last octet of the IP address, so that the full IP address is never stored on the hard disk.

In addition, Tonga BV does not provide your information to any other third parties, except to the extent that legislation and regulations oblige us to do so. The data will only be used for the purposes described in this privacy statement.

If it is clear that we process your personal data and which data these are, you have a number of options, which are mentioned below:

If the data turn out to be factually incorrect, unnecessary or incomplete, you can submit a request for rectification to us; we will then correct, improve, edit or block your data as quickly as possible.

You may also submit a request to delete your data. We then check whether your data must indeed be deleted. We do this on the basis of all applicable privacy legislation. If it appears that you are entitled to this, we will delete your data as soon as possible.

You can also make a request to limit the processing. This means that your personal data will only be stored temporarily, and will not be processed further. You can make such a request, for example, if you believe that we are processing incorrect personal data from you, or you do not want your data to be deleted. We then check whether you are entitled to a limitation of the processing. We do this on the basis of all applicable privacy legislation. If later the possible restriction of personal data is removed by us, you will always be notified of this.
