Introduction

Who We Are & What This Policy Covers

Wellness First, trading as Climax (66, avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris, France), is the data controller of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase on www.climax-store.com (the "Website"), or otherwise communicate with us.

Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood it. In the event of any conflict between this Privacy Policy and our General Terms and Conditions of Sale, this Privacy Policy governs with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.

Our Website is powered by Shopify. Shopify acts as a data processor on our behalf for certain services, and as an independent data controller for its own purposes.

<h4>Personal information we collect</h4>

  • Financial information — payment card details, transaction information, and confirmation of payment. We do not store full card numbers; this data is processed by our payment providers.
  • Account information — username, password (encrypted), preferences and settings.
  • Transaction information — items viewed, added to cart, purchased, returned, exchanged or cancelled, and your order history.
  • Communications — content of messages you send us, including customer support enquiries.

  • Automatically — through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies when you browse the Website.

Section 3

How we use your personal information

  • Order fulfilment — processing payments, fulfilling and shipping orders, managing returns and exchanges, and sending order-related notifications.
  • Account management — creating and maintaining your account, saving preferences, and enabling you to track your orders.
  • Customer service — responding to enquiries, resolving disputes, and maintaining our business relationship with you.
  • Marketing & personalisation — sending promotional emails and communications (with your consent where required), personalising your shopping experience, and showing you relevant advertisements. You may opt out at any time.
  • Security & fraud prevention — authenticating your account, detecting and preventing fraudulent, unlawful, or malicious activity, and protecting our Website and users.
  • Legal compliance — complying with applicable laws, responding to lawful requests from public authorities, and enforcing our Terms and Conditions.

The legal bases for our processing are: performance of a contract (order fulfilment, account management), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, service improvement), consent (marketing communications, non-essential cookies), and legal obligation (compliance with applicable law).

<h4>Disclosure to third parties</h4>

Section 4

  • Marketing & advertising partners — to serve targeted advertising, including through Shopify's advertising features. You have the right to opt out of such sharing at any time.
  • At your direction — when you consent to disclosure, such as when using social login integrations or sharing reviews.
  • Within our corporate group — with affiliates of Wellness First, where relevant.
  • Business transactions — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal obligations — to comply with applicable law, respond to legal process, or protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.

<h4>Our Relationship with Shopify</h4>

Section 5

Our Relationship with Shopify

Our Website is hosted and operated using Shopify's e-commerce platform. Shopify collects and processes personal information about your use of our Website in order to provide and improve its services. Information you submit on our Website is transmitted to and processed by Shopify, which may store data in countries other than your country of residence.

Shopify may also use data collected from your interactions with our store — and with other merchants using Shopify — to provide enhanced features and services. In these circumstances, Shopify acts as an independent data controller and is responsible for responding to your requests regarding that processing.
