Genereal Data Protection Regulation
30. For organizational reasons only members of the Bring&Buy team have access topersonal data if this is necessary for their work!
31. We’ll delete all personal data immediately if it’s no longer needed or thestatutory retention period expires.
32. Personal data will only be passed on to third parties due to legal obligations,
official or court order.
33. We don’t support trading in personal data.
Our information processing complies with the European Union’s General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR).

Background to certain rules:(1) No payment by card:
We can’t offer payment by card due to the concept of the Bring&Buy.
At least 90% of the proceeds will be paid back to the sellers during the weekend. The effort
required to implement this is far too high and therefore unsustainable.

(2) No cling wrap:
Because cling wrap is sticky it results in packages sticking together or labels being torn off
items. We therefore ask you to avoid using cling wrap and use transparent gift wrapping foil
instead. You can get these cheaply from Action and similar stores.
We won’t accept items in cling wrap or remove them from sale!
Do you know any good alternative to cling wrap or transparent gift wrapping foil? Please let
us know via email: bringandbuy@dokomi.deBring&Buy DoKomi | Responsible person: Stephan Kestin and Cyrill Möckli |Dated: May 2024 -> Please feel free to send any questions, criticism or suggestions to:bringandbuy@dokomi.de5
