for the online store www.biomefix.eu | version 2.1 | effective from 1 August 2026
1. Data Controller
The controller of the personal data processed through the online store www.biomefix.eu is BIOMEFIX s.r.o., with the identification and contact details stated in the header of this document (hereinafter the “Controller”).
The Controller processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (GDPR), Act No. 110/2019 Coll., on the Processing of Personal Data, and other applicable legal regulations.
2. What Personal Data We Process
Depending on how you use the online store, we may process in particular the following categories of data:
- identification details: first name, surname, company name, company ID (IČO) and VAT ID (DIČ);
- contact details: e-mail, telephone number, billing and delivery address;
- data relating to orders and the contractual relationship: content, number and status of the order, price, method of transport and payment, order history, complaints and withdrawals;
- payment and billing details: details for issuing documents, payment status, transaction identification and account number for refunds;
- customer account data: login details in secured form, profile, saved addresses and settings;
- data from communication: content of e-mails, forms, telephone communication and related attachments;
- marketing data: e-mail, history of consents and unsubscriptions;
- technical data: IP address, device, browser, operating system, logs, time of visit and cookie identifiers.
Card payments are processed by the operator of the GoPay payment gateway as an independent controller of the personal data related to the payment transaction. The Controller does not have access to the complete payment card number or the security code; this data is entered directly into the secure environment of the GoPay payment gateway.
The Controller does not normally require special categories of personal data. However, if a customer voluntarily provides information about their health condition, allergies, intolerances, pregnancy, breastfeeding, medications used, or a previous adverse reaction to a product, in the contact form or when communicating with customer support, this data will be processed only to the extent necessary and on the basis of a separate explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) and Article 9(2)(a) GDPR.
2.1 Voluntarily Provided Data on Health Condition
The purpose of processing is to handle the specific inquiry and to provide information about the composition, characteristics and correct method of use of the product in accordance with the manufacturer’s information. The information provided is for informational purposes only and does not replace professional medical or pharmaceutical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Consent is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time at info@biomefix.eu. Customers should not send their personal identification number (birth number), medical reports, laboratory results, or other data that is not necessary to handle the inquiry.
