MYNGLE finds it very important to ensure that all of its customers' personal information is treated with the utmost care and security and in accordance with the Dutch Data Protection Act.

Records of MYNGLE's website visits are kept for statistical purposes.

However, this general information is anonymous and cannot be traced back to the individual visitor.

The personal data that MYNGLE collects about its customers will be carefully and adequately processed. To process a customer's order, MYNGLE will request personal information when the customer registers for a purchase. This data will include name, date of birth, telephone number postal and e-mail address. Customers must give MYNGLE their personal consent before any order processing takes place. Their personal data will then be used only for the purposes stated in these terms and conditions and/or at the point of collection.

In order to measure the success of MYNGLE's online advertising, MYNGLE use pixels, or transparent GIF files, to establish which of MYNGLE's online advertisements successfully bring visitors and potential customers to its website or the sites of MYNGLE's affiliates. The GIF files are provided by third parties who provide MYNGLE with online advertising analysis. This system places a cookie on MYNGLE's browser when a visitor enters MYNGLE's website via an online advertisement, allowing MYNGLE to see which online advertisements attract the most visitors to the website. This information collected on MYNGLE's behalf is anonymous and does not personally identify the visitor. The data collected does not contain the visitor's name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but visitors and customers can adjust their browsers to reject them. Even without a cookie, a customer can still use MYNGLE's website. Any customer who would like to opt-out of the data collection technology mentioned above can contact MYNGLE's helpdesk.

Customers may be contacted by MYNGLE from time to time in relation to the products and services offered by MYNGLE.
