The purpose of the GASSAN Account is to improve the customer experience and satisfaction, among other things by providing personalised communications (emails and regular post) containing information, offers, promotions and events customised to your preferences and interests where possible. As a GASSAN Member, your GASSAN Account gives you access to your offline and online purchase history, so that you can always retrieve it.

Registration for the GASSAN Account is voluntary and free of charge. You can register on the website and complete certain (personal) data. By registering for the GASSAN Account, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old, or that you have permission from your parents or legal representative to do so. Of course, you can also make purchases at the GASSAN stores and online without using the GASSAN Account.

Analysing your use of the various GASSAN services helps us better customise our services and communications to your preferences. For that reason, as part of the GASSAN Account, we link and add available information on you to your GASSAN Account, including your interests, brand preferences, (online) purchases, and information on your use of the website and other GASSAN services.

GASSAN Diamonds Holding B.V. will process your personal data that it obtains through the GASSAN Account on the basis of your consent. In order to determine your preferences and interests, we use information that has been obtained on the basis of your consent using cookies or similar technology. You may at all times withdraw such consent. Your data may be used for analysis and optimisation purposes (on an aggregated level). The legal basis for such use is GASSAN's legitimate interest to understand how customers use our services, in order to improve and optimise such services.

Managing your GASSAN Account:

With your GASSAN Account on the website, you can set and manage your own preferences and interests for the GASSAN Account. In your GASSAN Account you will find the following settings:

  • Unsubscribing from the GASSAN Account entirely (see "Preferences" in your Account).
  • Setting and changing your interests (see "Preferences" in your Account).
  • Unsubscribing from certain communications (see "Preferences" in your Account). For example, you can subscribe for, or unsubscribe from, the various newsletters, invitations to events, newsletter Choices by DL, and receipt of the magazine by regular post (or from sending information and offers by regular post)

GASSAN Account for the webshop

You may use your GASSAN Account to place orders at our webshop. We will use your data (name and address details, email address and telephone number) to handle your order and to make it easier for you to place follow-up orders.

Placing orders as a guest

You may order a product from the GASSAN webshop without creating an account. We will request you to complete your data (name and address details, email address and telephone number) that we need to handle your order and, where necessary, to contact you about your order. If you make a purchase without creating an account, we will retain your data for a maximum period of 24 months following your purchase in order to handle any service requests, unless the data are required to comply with a statutory retention duty.

2.6. Marketing

GASSAN can be found on various social media, such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and LinkedIn. If you follow GASSAN on these social media channels, or communicate with or about GASSAN on social media, we may obtain access to part of your public profile data. If you share information about GASSAN on social media, your data may become visible on those social media. GASSAN itself also follows social media channels, through which it may obtain access to data on social media about you. GASSAN may track how often a certain post by GASSAN has been shared and liked on social media in order to analyse its reach.

The purpose of these processing operations is to analyse the reach of GASSAN's social media activities and to improve its customer satisfaction. The basis for this processing is GASSAN's legitimate interest to be able to improve its services and social media activities.

GASSAN may use your personal data (email address, interests, age, name, anniversary dates) for marketing purposes, in order to make you personalised offers or to generate 'comparable target groups' through social media advertisements. We can use comparable target groups to target new users that are comparable with our target group. We do so by uploading a list of email address and/or social media IDs. The uploaded data are hashed before transmitting them to the social media platform. Hashing is a cryptographic security method that changes the data in the customer list into random codes, so that the data are not personally identifiable. The purpose of this processing is to increase our reach. The basis for this processing is your consent.
