No. 79121229), incorporated in Hong Kong, with registered address at Glenealy Tower, No.1 Glenealy, Unit 2A, 17/F, Central, Hong Kong SAR. BULKECOM LIMITED is the data controller for the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) and Polish data protection law (Polish Act on the Protection of Personal Data of 10 May 2018, supervised by UODO).

Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you provide directly to us, information that is collected automatically when you use the Services, and information from third-party sources. The specific information depends on how you interact with lumamber.com.

Information you provide directly

Contact details — name, address, billing and shipping address, phone number, email address

Account information — username, password, preferences, settings (if you create an account)

Order & transaction details — items purchased, returned, or exchanged; transaction history

Communications — the content of emails, Messenger conversations, or contact form submissions you send us

Marketing preferences — consent choices for email marketing, advertising, and cookies

Information collected automatically

Device & browser data — IP address, browser type, operating system, screen resolution, device identifiers

Payment information — we never see your full card details

When you pay by card, BLIK, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, the payment is processed by Shopify Payments (PCI-DSS Level 1 certified). Lumamber receives confirmation that payment succeeded and a token reference — we never store or have access to your full card number, CVV, or expiry date. For BLIK transactions, your bank authenticates and authorises the payment within its app; we only see the result.

Who We Share Your Information With

We share your personal information with the following categories of third parties, each of which acts either as a processor on our behalf or, in some cases, as an independent or joint controller. We never sell your personal information to data brokers.

Service providers (processors acting on our behalf)

Shopify Inc. (Ottawa, Canada) and Shopify International Ltd. (Dublin, Ireland) — the platform that hosts lumamber.com, manages checkout, and processes payments via Shopify Payments.

Shipping carriers — DHL Express, DPD, InPost, and other partners handling delivery from Hong Kong to your address. Carriers receive your shipping address, name, and phone number only.

Customer service tools — email infrastructure providers and Facebook Messenger (Meta) for customer support.

Fulfilment partner — our Hong Kong-based fulfilment partner who picks, packs, and dispatches your orders.

Advertising & analytics partners

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited — for Facebook and Instagram advertising via the Meta Pixel (Section 03).

Google Ireland Limited — for Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads via the Google Pixel (Section 03).

These transfers only occur if you have accepted advertising cookies in our cookie banner.

BULKECOM LLC-FZ (Dubai, UAE) — our parent and brand-owner entity, on a need-to-know basis for brand operations and strategic reporting.

Tax authorities, regulators & law enforcement — when required by Hong Kong, Polish, or EU law (e.g., tax filings, lawful requests, fraud investigations).

Professional advisors — accountants, lawyers, and auditors bound by professional confidentiality.

We don't sell your data

Lumamber does not sell your personal information to data brokers, list rental companies, or any third party for commercial profit. Where data is shared with advertising partners (Meta, Google), it is for the specific purposes disclosed in Section 03 and only with your cookie consent.

International Data Transfers

Because BULKECOM LIMITED is incorporated in Hong Kong (outside the European Economic Area), your personal information will be transferred outside the EU/EEA when you place an order, contact us, or interact with our site. We use legally recognised transfer mechanisms to ensure your data receives equivalent protection.

Transfer mechanisms we rely on

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) — for transfers from the EU/EEA to Hong Kong (BULKECOM LIMITED) and to other non-adequate jurisdictions. Approved by the European Commission Decision 2021/914.

EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) — for transfers to US-based processors. Meta and Google are both DPF-certified. Decision 2023/1795.

Adequacy decisions — where transfers go to countries the European Commission has determined provide adequate protection (e.g., Canada for Shopify Inc.).

Hong Kong's data protection framework

Hong Kong is not currently the subject of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, but operates its own data protection regime under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) supervised by the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD). Standard Contractual Clauses bridge the protection gap by contractually binding us to GDPR-equivalent standards.

Request a copy of our SCCs

You have the right to request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses we use for transferring your data outside the EU/EEA. Email info@lumamber.com with the subject “SCC Request” and we will provide the relevant documentation within 30 days.

No system is perfect

While we take security seriously, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority (UODO) without undue delay, as required by GDPR Articles 33 and 34.
