Personal data of persons under 18 years of age

WannaWhisky is not directed at persons under 18 years of age and does not intend to collect data from minors. If you suspect that personal data of a minor has been collected without parental or guardian consent, please contact us at info@wannawhisky.com so that this data can be removed.

Special personal data

WannaWhisky does not process special personal data. Should it be necessary in exceptional cases to process such data, this will only be done with your express consent or when necessary for the performance of the agreement.

The main purposes are:

Legal obligation: for example for storing payment data for administration.
Consent: for example for sending newsletters or use of non-essential cookies.
Legitimate interest: for example to prevent abuse or improve the platform.

WannaWhisky never processes more personal data than necessary for these purposes and does not retain it longer than necessary.

Withdrawal of consent

You have the right to withdraw consent for the processing of your personal data. Withdrawal of consent can be done by contacting us at info@wannawhisky.com. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

After receiving your request, we will delete the relevant data as soon as possible, unless there is a legal retention obligation (for example for invoices).

Who receives your personal data

WannaWhisky only shares your personal data with third parties when this is necessary for the performance of the agreement, use of the platform or to comply with legal obligations. Only information that is strictly necessary for the relevant purpose is shared.

This may include:

Stripe (payment provider): for processing payments, ID verification, and payouts to sellers;
Website hosting party: for technical management, storage and security of the platform environment;
Email service provider: for sending notifications, transaction emails and (if applicable) newsletters;
Analytics provider: for collecting statistical data about website use (such as Google Analytics or Matomo);
Processors for customer service: such as an AI chat assistant that provides support for questions via the website.

WannaWhisky has concluded processing agreements with parties acting as processors. These agreements stipulate that these parties take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data and only process it on behalf of and according to instructions from WannaWhisky.

Data is not sold to third parties, and there is no transfer outside the EU/EEA unless this is necessary via a certified processor such as Stripe, which provides appropriate safeguards via the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
