What Gourmet Discount Market keeps about you when you shop with us, why, and how to have it corrected or deleted.
Who we are
Gourmet Discount Market is a gourmet supermarket in Costa Rica (3-102-963823 SOCIEDAD DE RESPONSABILIDAD LIMITADA, cédula jurídica 3102963823). We decide what is kept about our shoppers and are responsible for it.
What we keep, and why
- When you order: your name, email and phone, and what you ordered — to prepare it, tell you when it is ready, and hand it to the right person.
- When you open an account: your email and, if you add them, your name and phone. Your password is held by our sign-in provider; we never see it.
- When you sign in with Google: the name and email address Google gives us. Nothing else from your account — not your contacts, photos or calendar.
- If you ask for a Factura Electrónica in your name: the details Hacienda requires on it.
What we do not do
- We do not take card details online: you pay at the till.
- We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share your details for marketing.
Cookies
Only the ones the shop needs to work: to keep you signed in, to remember your basket, to open an order you placed on this device, to remember your language, and for ten minutes while you sign in with Google.
Who handles it for us
These companies process your details on our behalf, only to provide the shop:
- Supabase — accounts, sign-in and the shop's database
- Render — runs the website
- Resend — sends our emails, such as your order confirmation
- Almendro — prepares our electronic receipts and sends them to Hacienda
- Google — only if you choose to sign in with it
- WhatsApp — only if you or the shop message about your order there
How long we keep it
Your account for as long as you have it. Orders, receipts and invoices for as long as Costa Rican tax law requires us to keep them (five years).
Your rights
Under Costa Rica's Law 8968 on the protection of personal data you can ask to see what we keep about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted.
Ask at the shop.
If you ask us to delete your account we will; orders and receipts the law requires us to keep stay until that period ends, and are then deleted.
Changes
If this changes, we will update this page and the date above.
