Some processors may store or access data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards under the GDPR (typically Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision).

Personal data is kept only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for. Account data is kept while your account is open and for a short period after, in case you come back or query a past order. Invoice and tax-relevant data is kept for the statutory periods required by German tax law (currently up to 10 years).

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, port, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority (in Berlin: Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit). Requests can be sent to hello@pixelsyndicate.world and will normally be answered within one month.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — encrypted transport (HTTPS), restricted access, hardened cloud infrastructure, and least-privilege access controls — to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration.

The site uses cookies and similar storage that are strictly necessary to provide the service (for example, keeping you signed in and remembering your cart). It does not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Where any non-essential analytics are introduced in the future, they will be subject to your consent.
