- Your first and last name;
- Your address and country;
- Your email address;

We save your order (payment) data for as long as is necessary to comply with the law.
We share your information with Creative Mail. Creative Mail is the processor who sends out all emails from Awesome People Group regarding our contractual relationship (e.g. confirmation emails). Therefore it is necessary to share the following data. The information we send to Creative Mail, is:
- Name
- Email address
- Subscription number
- Product names of bought products
- Currency
- Order number, oder date, price, payment method.
We do not process your payment details (e.g. credit card information) on our checkout page.

Awesome People Group only processes an encrypted code because we do not need to see the details and this way data protection is increased. WooCommerce Payments, Stripe, Apple Pay and Google Pay are considered independent controllers. A restrictive group of Our support engineers can access the following data from the Payments: email addresses, transaction numbers, time of transaction and issuer of the card. This access is needed to confirm payments and/or refunds to you by our support engineers.
