Your personal data

Data is defined as "personal" when it relates to natural persons identified directly or indirectly. For example, a person is identified directly when their first and last name appear in a file, a set of data organised in a structured way. Similarly, an individual can be identifiable when a file contains information that indirectly allows him to be identified (e.g. registration number, telephone number, photograph, etc.).

This information is subject to specific legislation relating to the protection of personal data and must be processed and stored in a specific manner.

Blinds 2go may be required to collect your surname, first name, addresses, email, telephone numbers, your browsing data, your order history, your preferences and areas of interest, the products you have consulted, elements relating to the monitoring of your order and the history of your exchanges with customer service.

Bank details are not collected. We go through a specialised provider of secure payment services, called Worldpay.
