Our legal basis for using your personal information
Performance of the Terms and Conditions between you and MX5 Europe Ltd.
If you are purchasing products or services for your own private and domestic use (or are intending to), our Terms and Conditions of Sale will apply. If you then create an account on our Site or place an order with us, our legal basis for processing your personal information is that it is necessary for the performance of the Terms and Conditions of Sale between you and us.
How we may share personal information
In order to source the product that you require and ensure that it is delivered as quickly as possible, it sometimes may be necessary for us to pass the delivery address details to a third party supplier acting on our behalf to enable them to dispatch the goods that you have ordered directly to you. However, your order will always be managed by MX5 Europe and we will only provide our suppliers with the minimum information necessary to facilitate the delivery of the goods to you, such as your name, address and the details of the products to be supplied, as well as, in some cases, your phone number and/or email address to allow our suppliers to update you on the delivery progress of your order.
In addition to any external supplier, we may also disclose personal information we hold about you to:
- our service providers, including IT hosting companies;
- payment service providers;
- professional advisors such as attorneys, accountants, auditors, financial and other professionals;
- regulatory authorities, including tax authorities; and
- law enforcement agencies, courts and other relevant tribunals.
