Appendix 1 - Processing Details
Data Subjects
Categories include: Customer Data (members, suppliers), Order Data, Authorized System Users, and registered individuals.
Categories of Personal Data
- Customer Data: Name, surname, address details, postal code, region, country, telephone, email, birth date, identification number, gender, IP address, purchase history, activities, and other stored information.
- Order Data: Products, quantities, prices, order values, shipping options.

Sensitive Data Restriction: Article 9 GDPR sensitive personal data cannot be processed in the System unless parties explicitly amend instructions in writing.
Uploaded Images/Video
Uploaded images and videos constitute personal data under GDPR. The regulation defines personal data broadly, including indirect identifiers like photographs and videos. Image processing technologies enable individual identification, especially when combined with additional information. This classification applies the same GDPR principles and requirements to uploaded images as other personal data, including obtaining clear informed consent and respecting access, rectification, erasure, and processing restriction rights.
Processing Nature and Purpose
Personal data is typically imported from external sources or the data controller, sometimes from external service providers. The Customer determines the purpose of Personal Data Processing. The Supplier's Processing purposes remain limited to:
- Providing agreed services including software provision, support, and other Main Agreement services
- Implementing, managing, and monitoring supporting infrastructure and fulfilling technical and organizational data protection requirements
- Communicating with Customer and personnel
- Implementing Customer instructions per Section 3.4
- Managing service problems, incidents, and data breaches
Processing Duration
Personal data is processed throughout the Main Agreement term. The data controller establishes specific retention periods for different personal data categories.
Security Measures
The Supplier implements technically and organizationally appropriate protections proportionate to data sensitivity, particular risks, technical capabilities, and implementation costs. Personal data protection prevents unauthorized changes, destruction, access, and dissemination. The Supplier implements GDPR Article 32 measures:
- Personal data pseudonymization and encryption
- Ensuring ongoing processing system and service confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience
- Timely availability and access restoration following physical or technical incidents
- Regular technical and organizational security measure testing, assessment, and evaluation
Technical Security Measures
- Data Separation: Customer data uses logical separation, identifiers, and tagging, restricting access to authorized customers only.
- Encryption: Data transfers employ current established encryption practices. Stored data is encrypted where feasible, minimally using disk-level encryption.
- Testing: Regular independent vulnerability and penetration testing plus routine security updates and patches.
- API Protection: Public API endpoints require secret API keys preventing unauthorized system access.
- Access Control: Private administration access (Console, Web GUI) employs IAM service protection.
Organizational Measures
- Change Control: SHOPLAB maintains structured change management, reviewing and testing changes before production deployment, with rollback capabilities.
- Secure Testing: SHOPLAB maintains separate production and testing environments.
- Risk Management: SHOPLAB maintains documented risk handling processes and routines, periodically assessing information system, processing, storage, and transmission risks.
Physical Access Control
System and personal data access is restricted to personnel requiring access on a need-to-know basis. User authentication protects data processing system access.
Subcontractors
SHOPLAB primarily employs Amazon Web Services (AWS) as hosting provider for personal data processing and storage.
