We use this information only to review and respond to your inquiry.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in communicating with customers and website visitors. Where your inquiry relates to an existing or potential purchase, processing may also be necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, such as PayPal, Klarna, SOFORT, credit card providers, or other payment services displayed during checkout.

The payment provider may collect and process information such as your name, billing details, payment information, account information, and transaction details.

Some payment providers may carry out fraud prevention, identity verification, or credit checks where permitted by law. The processing of your information by a payment provider is also subject to that provider’s own privacy policy and terms.

You may withdraw your consent or object to receiving review requests at any time by contacting us at info@norablue.store.

10. Social Media Links and Plugins

Our website may contain links, buttons, or plugins for social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

Where privacy-friendly methods are used, no direct connection with the relevant social media platform will be established until you click the button or link.

Once you click a social media link or interact with a social media feature, the relevant platform may collect information about you in accordance with its own privacy policy. Nora Blue does not control how these third-party platforms process your information.

11. Analytics and Online Advertising

We may use analytics and advertising services, such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta advertising tools, or the Meta Pixel, to understand website performance, measure advertising effectiveness, and improve our products and marketing.

12. Retargeting and Remarketing

We may use retargeting or remarketing technologies to display advertisements to people who have previously visited our website or interacted with our products.

These technologies may use cookies, pixels, or similar identifiers to recognize your browser or device across websites and platforms.

Where required by law, retargeting and remarketing technologies will only be used after you have provided consent.

You can disable these technologies through our cookie settings, your browser settings, or the advertising preference tools provided by the relevant advertising platform.
