In every communication via this route, an unsubscribe option is included if you are no longer interested in our newsletter. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter in your account.

8. Provision to third parties

We may use third-party services to process your data in accordance with this privacy statement, such as technical service providers and delivery services. These parties act as processors for Lude. We ensure that these processors offer sufficient guarantees with regard to the technical and organizational security measures. Lude concludes a processing agreement with these processors, which includes the provision that they only process personal data on behalf of and in accordance with Lude's instructions.

The data you provide will be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the delivery of the products you ordered or the services you requested.

For example, we pass on your address details to Post NL so that your order can be delivered.

If you participate in a competition or promotion and you have won a prize, Lude can send your contact details to the partner who provided the prize so that this partner can send the prize.

Furthermore, we will only provide the data you provide to third parties if you have given prior consent (you can only give consent if you are 16 years or older) or if we are legally obliged to do so, we are forced to do so as a result of a lawsuit and/or if we deem it necessary to protect our own interests. For example, it is possible that the police may request data from us in the context of a fraud investigation. In that case, we are legally obliged to provide this data.

9. Profiling

We combine your personal data from different sources with each other, in order to offer you the best online shopping experience. We do this by linking various data of yours, such as your account data, your purchase history, the reviews you have posted, but also your surfing behavior on our website on different devices, such as your computer, smartphone or tablet. It is also possible that we supplement or optimize your data with data from public sources such as the land registry or sources that you have given permission to use. We can then approach you more specifically if you have indicated that you want to receive personalized offers and we can improve our services by better aligning them with the wishes of our customers and website visitors. We only do this if you have given permission for this by checking the option 'marketing cookies' in the cookie bar. You can only give permission for this if you are 16 years or older.

By combining your data from different sources, we can show personalized offers and personalized content on our channels that match your interests and purchase history. This way we can make better and more targeted offers. This prevents you from seeing content or offers that are less interesting to you.

10. Social Media

You can find Lude on various social media, such as Instagram and Facebook. It is possible that we will gain access to some of your profile data if you follow us. This depends on your settings on these social media. For example, we can track how often a certain item has been shared and liked via social media. In this way, we can analyze the reach of that item. The basis of this processing is our legitimate interest in being able to improve our services.

We may also use certain (marketing) services from third parties, such as Facebook. These services allow us to target a specific audience on social media. As an example, we mention Facebook Custom Audiences and Lookalike Audiences. We may provide hashed email addresses to third parties for this purpose, so that these parties can approach targeted individuals for our marketing campaigns. If you do not want us to provide your hashed email address to third parties, you can opt out by sending an email to info@ludeplay.com.

More information about the use of social media cookies can be found in our cookie statement.

Young people under the age of 16 cannot give their own consent for the use of their personal data.
