10. Automated decision-making & Profiling

In order to provide you with speedy and customized services and to communicate with you efficiently, we might make some decisions about you in an automated way, without our staff intervention. Automated decision-making happens, for example, when we automatically registered your user account after you have inserted the required personal data, when we send you an order receipt confirmation or when we use your personal data for profiling.
As regards profiling, we use it in order to customize adverts for you based on your previous interactions with our Website, purchase behaviors, the way you access our services and where you access our services from. In this way we can achieve sending you adverts that will correspond to your likes and interests. Also, most likely you will not be sent adverts of products that are not available in your area. You can choose to stop being profiled by opting-out of marketing cookies or by updating your cookie preferences if you have previously consented.
