We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. Our Privacy Policy is a means of notifying you of your rights in accordance with local law and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
Registration
If you wish to use any of our Services, you must register to our Portal. This information is also used to contact you about the products/services on our Portal in which you have expressed interest. During the registration process, you will be required to provide certain information (such as name, surname, email address etc) and you will be asked to establish a password.
You are responsible for maintaining confidentiality of your online account and password, restricting access to your device and/or preventing unauthorized access to your account. You agree to take responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. If you believe that your account or password is being or is about to be used by anyone else you should inform us immediately by email to support@ourbeloved.cy.
Payments
We request information from you on our Payment page to pay for our Services. We use an Address Verification System as an anti-fraud tool, so we may also request additional information like full address, date of birth, nationality, and country of residence. Futhermore, you must provide correct contact and billing information so that we generate the correct invoice and VAT amount that you need to pay.
Why we ask for your date of Birth?
We need to ensure you are 18+. Age verification interrupts the checkout process to verify age pre-payment. Integrated with the checkout process, age verification occurs in the background before a customer’s payment is accepted and processed. Laws state that consumers’ ages must be checked before a transaction occurs, so it’s important that this happens before our online payment gateway processes your transaction.
Financial information (like credit card number, expiration date, CVV) is to be provided directly using a third party secure payment gateway, MANGOPAY which is a validated Level 1 PCI DSS Compliant Service Provider.
