Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process

Our website and/or service does not aim to collect data about website visitors who are younger than 16 years, unless consent has been given by their parents or guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is over the age of 16. We therefore recommend that parents/guardians supervise their children’s online activity to prevent their children’s data from being collected without the consent of parents/guardians. If you are convinced that we have collected personal information about a minor without this consent, please contact us at support@virtuoos.com, and we will delete this information.

Automated decision-making

Virtuoos Com B.V. does not use computerized tools to make decisions about people. Except for the data that is visible in your account, we do not create a separate user profile for you.

The content is determined by your purchases and the interests that we can deduce from your buying and click behaviour.

We only store your visitor data, such as cookies, for as long as we are obliged to do so and for no more than 26 months. After that, we will ask for your consent again or the data will be permanently deleted.
