Personal data may be provided voluntarily by users or collected automatically when this Website is used. Unless indicated otherwise, the provision of all data requested by this Website is obligatory. 

Should the user refuse to provide required data, this may mean we are unable to provide the user with this Website’s services.

Users who are unclear as to which personal data is obligatory may consult the Service Provider. 

RECIPIENTS; LEGAL GROUNDS AND PLACE OF DATA PROCESSING; STORAGE TERM

 

CATEGORIES OF RECIPIENTS

In addition to the Controller, other people may, where necessary, have access to the user’s personal data. For example, we send your personal data to suppliers in order to be able to send you orders you have placed in our Webshop. We are also able to share your personal data with government authorities, courts, external consultants and similar third parties to the extent this is legally required or permitted.

Furthermore, processors used by us, such as our hosting provider our customer services contractors, digital strategy specialists, marketing, payment and Webshop services providers or service providers for our MDO Skinclub Affiliate & Referral Program, Subscribe & Save Program, Live Avatar and Skin Analyzer are given access to the user’s personal data.

The processors are contractually obliged to put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect and secure personal data and to process the personal data only within the scope of our instructions.

 The user may at any time request an up-to-date list of those parties involved from the Services Provider. 

OVERVIEW OF THE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING

Subject to any more stringent rules to the contrary that apply in your country of residence, the Service Provider is only permitted to process users’ personal data if one of the following legal grounds exists:

  • the user has given their consent for one or more specific purposes;
  • the data processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the user and/or for pre-contractual steps taken at the user’s request; 
  • the processing is required for the performance of a legal obligation to which the Service Provider is subject; 
  • the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the user or another natural person;
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or occurs in the exercise of official authority conferred on the Service Provider; or
  • the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Service Provider or a third party, except where these are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the user which require the protection of personal data.
    • The legitimate interests include: provision of an operational website, provision of subscription service, responding to customer service requests and legal enforcement.

In addition, the Service Provider relies on the following legal basis for the collection of any special categories of data:

  • explicit consent to the processing for one or more specified purposes (Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR).

More detailed information on the legal grounds relevant in each case is available under “Comprehensive information on the processing of personal data”. In case of ambiguity, the Service Provider will be happy to provide information about the specific legal grounds on which the processing is based, particularly on whether the sharing of personal data is a statutory or contractual obligation or a precondition for conclusion of a contract.

 

LOCATION/TRANSFER OF DATA TO THIRD COUNTRIES

The user's personal date are processed at the Service Provider's establishment and wherever the entities involved in the data processing are located. Therefore we transfer your personal data worldwide. Hence, some recipients of your personal data are located outside of your country of residence. 

For example, for residents of the European Union, some recipients of your personal data are based outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. In each of these cases the data privacy laws applicable in the country of import may offer a different level of protection from the laws of your country and for which no adequacy decision exists from the competent data protection regulator in your country. 

Where personal data are sent to countries that, from the point of view of the competent regulator, do not have an appropriate level of data protection, the transfer occurs on the basis of appropriate safeguards such as your explicit consent or the conclusion of standard contractual clauses, for example those adopted by the European Commission, with the recipients, where this is necessary in the particular case.

In case you want to have further information on specific transfers or regarding special countries your request information regarding these data transfers and the relevant safeguards by contacting us via admin@mdo-skin.com.

 

STORAGE TERM

Personal data are processed and stored for as long as the purpose for which they were collected requires.

Hence it follows that:

  • personal data collected for the purposes of contract performance for a contract entered into by the Service Provider and user will be stored until contract completion.
     
  • personal data collected for legitimate interests pursued by the Service Provider are stored for as long as it is necessary to fulfil that purpose. 

Furthermore, the Service Provider is permitted to store personal data for a longer period if the user has consented to such processing, provided such consent has not been withdrawn. Furthermore, the Service Provider may be obliged to retain the personal data for a longer period if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a statutory obligation or on the instructions of an authority. For example, personal data received in contracts, communications and business correspondence may be subject to statutory retention obligations which may require their retention for up to ten years or any alternative period dictated by the applicable law.

 The personal data will be erased upon expiry of the retention period.

MDO uses blockchain technology for tracking referrals and therefore store all transactions that occur and are eligible for a referral fee in the chain. If you sign up for the affiliate and referral program, your personal information will be stored in this blockchain, which is immutable by design. We provide you with a monetary incentive tied to the purchase price of products purchased by those buying from MDO through a referral link that you make available to them. We value the opportunity to sell to your referrals.
