• Contact details: e-mail address, telephone number and postal address.
• Order data: product, price, date and time, order number, payment method, payment status, the agreements given when the order was placed (acceptance of the terms of sale, consent to immediate performance and acknowledgement of the loss of the right of withdrawal) and their time stamp.

Payment is handled directly by PayPal. The seller neither receives nor stores any card details.

3. Purposes and legal bases

• Processing the order, delivering the digital content, sending the confirmation e-mail and issuing the invoice: performance of the contract (article 6.1.b GDPR). The telephone number and address are used to pre-fill the card payment form and appear in the confirmation e-mail.
• Retention of accounting records: legal obligation (article 6.1.c GDPR).
• Answering support requests and handling complaints: the seller’s legitimate interest in following up customers (article 6.1.f GDPR).
• Evidence of the agreements given when the order was placed, and handling of disputes: the seller’s legitimate interest in establishing and defending legal claims (article 6.1.f GDPR). A copy of each confirmation e-mail is kept for this purpose.
• Security and proper operation of the site: the seller’s legitimate interest (article 6.1.f GDPR).

No newsletter is sent and no data is used for marketing purposes.

4. Recipients

The data is accessible to the seller and to the following providers, limited to what their task requires:

• payment: PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., Luxembourg;
• site hosting and storage of the file sold: Cloudflare, Inc., United States;
• sending and archiving order e-mails: o2switch, Clermont-Ferrand, France;
• serving web fonts: Google (Google Fonts), which receives visitors’ IP addresses when pages load.

Data is neither sold nor rented. It may be disclosed to the competent authorities upon a lawful request.

5. Transfers outside the European Union and the United Kingdom

Cloudflare and Google are United States companies: the technical data they process may be transferred to the United States. Those transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (European Commission adequacy decision of 10 July 2023) and its United Kingdom extension, or failing that on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses together with the United Kingdom international data transfer addendum. PayPal (Europe) is established in Luxembourg; any transfers it makes are covered by its own safeguards, described in its privacy policy.

6. Retention periods

• Accounting records (invoices and order receipts): 10 years from the end of the financial year.
• Order data and evidence of the agreements given: 5 years from the order, the ordinary limitation period.
• Customer service exchanges: 3 years from the last exchange.
• Technical data: according to the hosting provider’s own periods, limited to what site security requires.

7. Your rights

You have the following rights over your data:

• access;
• rectification;
• erasure, except where retention is required by a legal obligation;
• restriction of processing;
• objection to processing based on legitimate interests;
• portability of the data you have provided, for processing based on the contract;

To exercise these rights, write to sales@ai-for-construction.com. A reply is provided within one month, extendable by two months for complex requests. Proof of identity may be requested where there is reasonable doubt as to the identity of the person making the request.
