General Information

What is Personal Data?
Personal Data is any information relating to personal or material circumstances that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes, for example, your name, date of birth, e-mail address, postal address, or telephone number as well as online identifiers such as your IP address. In contrast, information of a general nature that cannot be used to determine your identity is not Personal Data. This includes, for example, the number of users of a website.
-
What is Special Category Data?
Special category data is Personal Data that needs more protection because it is sensitive. This includes Personal Data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data. As well as, data concerning health, a person’s sex life; and a person’s sexual orientation. In order to lawfully process Special Category Data, it is necessary to consent to the processing.
-
What is processing?
"Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon Personal Data, whether or not by automatic means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.
-
Responsible for data processing
Responsible for data processing is Icebreakrr Classic Limited of The Black Church, St. Mary's Place, Dublin 7, Dublin, D07 P4AX, Ireland (“Ice2hot”, “we”, “us” or “our”). We act as the data controller and ask you to direct all questions about your Personal Data directly to us using our Contact Form or e-mail info@ice2hot.com.

The Legal Bases for processing Personal Data
In accordance with the above-mentioned laws, we have to have at least one of the following legal bases to process your Personal Data:
-
you have given your consent,
-
the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract / pre-contractual measures,
-
the data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, or
-
the data is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, provided that your interests are not overridden.
General Principles
-
Security
Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us.
You can recognise an encrypted connection if the address line of your browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and also has a lock symbol. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We have also implemented numerous security measures (“technical and organisational measures”) for example encryption or need to know access, to ensure the most complete protection of Personal Data processed through this website.
Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. And databases or data sets that include Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful intrusion.
Upon becoming aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised as expeditiously as possible after which the breach was discovered.
-
Minors
We do not request Personal Data from minors and children and do not knowingly collect such data or pass it on to third parties.
-
Automated decision-making
Automated decision-making is the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement. Automated decision-making including profiling does not take place.
-
Do Not Sell
We do not sell your Personal Data.
-
Special Category Data
Unless specifically required when using our services and consent is obtained for that particular service, we do not process special category data.
-
International Transfer
We may transfer your Personal Data to other companies and/or business partners as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In doing so, your Personal Data may be transferred to so called third countries. In order to provide adequate protection for your Personal Data when it is transferred, we have contractual arrangements regarding such transfers. We take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the Personal Data we transfer.
-
How long is your data stored?
We process and store your Personal Data only to achieve the respective processing purpose or for as long as a legal retention period exists (in particular Ireland`s commercial and tax law for up to 10 years). Once the purpose has been achieved or the retention period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted.
-
Sharing and Disclosure
We will not disclose or otherwise distribute your Personal Data to third parties unless this is a) necessary for the performance of our services for example with our web host or with our logistic partners to deliver your order, b) you have consented to the disclosure, c) or if we are legally obliged to do so e.g., by court order or if this is necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or other legal investigations or other legal proceedings; as required by law or regulation; if Ice2hot (or a part of Ice2hot) is sold to or merged with another company; or proceedings at home or abroad or to fulfil our legitimate interests.
