This Policy applies to all interactions with us, whether through our official website (cosmonv.com), email communications, order transactions, or other forms of cooperation, as long as you are an EU resident or your personal data is processed within the EU. We strictly adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant EU data protection regulations to safeguard your personal data rights and security. 2. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

Depending on the needs of our apparel business, we may collect the following personal data:
Identity and Contact Data: including but not limited to name, gender, age, email address (other than the contact address you provide at [email protected]), phone number, mailing address, etc., for order confirmation, logistics delivery, and business communications.
Transaction and Order Data: including purchased apparel categories, sizes, quantities, payment information (only necessary transaction receipts are retained; full payment card information is not stored), order status, etc., for transaction fulfillment and after-sales service.

Compliance Data: such as business license information and contact authorization certificates for corporate clients, for meeting legal obligations and business compliance requirements. (II) Lawful Basis for Data Collection
Pursuant to Article 6 of the GDPR, our data processing is based on the following lawful grounds:
Your explicit consent: If you consent to us analyzing your browsing and preferences for personalized recommendations, you may withdraw this consent at any time.
Necessary for contract performance: For example, collecting your shipping address and contact information to fulfill the shipping and delivery of clothing orders.
Complying with legal obligations: For example, retaining transaction records to meet EU and related country filing requirements for commercial transactions.
Protecting legitimate interests: For example, data verification to prevent order fraud and ensure website information security, provided that such processing does not infringe upon your fundamental rights and freedoms.
3. Core Principles of Data Processing
We strictly adhere to the seven data processing principles set out in the GDPR to ensure that our data processing activities are lawful and compliant:
Principles of fairness and transparency: All data processing activities are conducted in a non-discriminatory manner, and this policy clearly informs you of the purposes, methods, and rights of your data processing, without any misleading statements. Purpose Limitation: Personal data collected will only be used for the specific purposes stated in this Policy (e.g., order processing and customer service). If new purposes (e.g., marketing) are needed, we will evaluate and obtain your consent in advance.
Data Minimization: We only collect necessary data directly related to our business purposes. For example, we do not need to collect your physical address when purchasing e-books or clothing.
Accuracy: We regularly review your personal data. If you find any errors in your shipping address, contact information, or other information, you may request corrections at any time.
Storage Limitation: Personal data will only be retained for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which it is processed. Transaction data will be retained for no more than three years from the date of the transaction. After that, it will be anonymized or securely deleted.
Integrity and Confidentiality: We implement technical and organizational measures, such as encrypted storage and access control, to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, destruction, or alteration of personal data.
Accountability and Compliance: We maintain a system for recording data processing activities to readily demonstrate compliance with this Policy and the GDPR, and to be subject to compliance audits by regulatory authorities. 4. Data Subject Rights

Right of Access: You have the right to request confirmation from us regarding whether we are processing your personal data, and to obtain information such as the purpose, type, and recipients of such data.
Right to Correction: If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we promptly correct or supplement it.
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten): You have the right to request that we delete your personal data if it is no longer necessary, you have withdrawn your consent, or our processing violates applicable law, unless we are required to retain it by law or regulation.
Right to Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict data processing activities if you object to the accuracy of the data, if the processing is unlawful but you object to its deletion.
Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to have it transmitted directly to another data controller (for example, if you change your clothing supplier).
Right to Object: If we process your personal data based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object based on your particular situation. We will cease processing unless we have overriding legitimate grounds. If you wish to exercise the above rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month. In complex cases, this period may be extended to two months (we will notify you in advance).
