Your bank details are stored by our payment partners, Hipay and Adyen. When you make purchases on-line, you are required to enter your bank details into the fields provided for that purpose. If you provide your consent, and in order to facilitate your payments, you may choose for our payment service provider to store your bank details in a secure manner so that they can be used for your next purchases. If this is the case, you can tick the "Save your payment details" option when you pay for your order. You may, at any moment, ask us to delete the registered bank card by consulting your account, under the heading "My payment options", or by writing to us via our contact form.
