Privacy & Legal Notice

Last updated: May 27, 2026

Blink is a small concept store with two physical shops in Ibiza and Formentera and an online boutique at blinkformentera.com. We try to keep things simple — including how we handle your data. This page explains what we collect when you browse the site, what happens if you place an order, and your rights under European law.

Who runs this site

This website (blinkformentera.com) is operated by Blink Ibiza & Formentera, an independent concept store based in the Balearic Islands, Spain. Our two locations are:

Blink Ibiza — Carrer de Bartomeu Vicent Ramón 29, 07800 Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain.
Blink Formentera — Carrer Ramón Llull 11, 07860 Sant Francesc, Formentera, Balearic Islands, Spain.

For all matters concerning this website — including privacy, data, takedown requests, or general legal inquiries — please write to blinkformentera@gmail.com.

What data is processed when you visit

When you load any page on this site, your browser sends standard request data (your IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, the page you requested). This is technically necessary to deliver the page and to protect against abuse. The site itself stores none of this — it's a static website with no database, no user accounts, and no analytics tracking.

A few third-party services receive some of this data automatically when you load the site, and one more is invoked only if you decide to place an order. They are listed below.

Third parties involved in delivering the site

Cloudflare — Hosts and serves the website (CDN). Receives your IP address, user-agent, and the URL you requested for every page load. Cloudflare uses this data to deliver content quickly, mitigate attacks, and produce aggregated traffic statistics. It retains server-side request logs for a short period (typically a few days). Cloudflare's privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Google Fonts — The site loads its typefaces (Cormorant Garamond and Outfit) from Google's font CDN at fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Your browser fetches these files directly from Google's servers, which means Google receives your IP address as part of the request. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

Snipcart — Powers the shopping cart and checkout (cart button, product modals, cart drawer, payment flow). Snipcart's script loads on every page so the cart icon and item count are available, which means Snipcart's servers receive a request from your browser including your IP address. Snipcart only collects personal data (name, email, shipping address, payment details) if and when you actually proceed through checkout — see the next section for what happens then. Snipcart is operated by 2Checkout / Snipcart Inc. (Canada). Their privacy policy: snipcart.com/legal/privacy-policy.

When you place an order

If you add an item to your bag and proceed through checkout, the following data flows happen:

Snipcart collects and stores the data you enter at checkout — your name, email address, shipping and billing addresses, the items you ordered, and your order history. This is processed on Snipcart's servers (Canada / EU) on our behalf so we can fulfil your order.
Payment processing is handled by the payment provider connected to our Snipcart account (typically Stripe and/or PayPal). Your card details are entered directly into the payment provider's secure form and are not stored by us or by Snipcart — only a transaction reference is retained for accounting and refund purposes. Stripe's privacy policy: stripe.com/privacy. PayPal's privacy policy: paypal.com/privacy.
Shipping — your shipping address is shared with whichever carrier handles your parcel (Correos, SEUR, DHL, UPS, or similar) so they can deliver it. Each carrier processes this data under their own privacy policy.
Accounting & tax — we retain invoices and order records as required by Spanish tax law (typically 4–6 years for tax purposes, up to 10 years for accounting purposes).

The legal basis for this processing is the performance of the sales contract you enter into with us (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)), and our legal obligations regarding taxation and accounting (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)).

The Journal

The Journal section of this site mirrors selected posts from our Instagram account (@blinkformentera). The images and captions are downloaded by us, in advance, via Instagram's official Graph API, and re-served from our own domain. This means that when you read the Journal, your browser does not connect to Instagram — Instagram does not see your visit and does not set cookies on you. Only if you click through to one of our Instagram links do you leave this site and become subject to Instagram's own privacy practices.

What we do not do

No analytics tracking — no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Cloudflare Web Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no anything.
No advertising and no ad tracking pixels.
No newsletter signups and no contact form — there are no fields anywhere on this site to enter personal data into, other than the Snipcart checkout if you decide to order.
No user accounts, no logins, no comments.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with anyone. The only parties that receive your data are the operational service providers listed above (hosting, fonts, cart/checkout, payment, shipping), and only to the extent strictly necessary to deliver the site and your order.

Cookies

The only cookies set on your device during a normal visit are those placed by Snipcart to keep your shopping cart working — they remember what you have added to your bag so the cart is still there if you reload the page or come back later. These are treated as strictly necessary cookies under the EU ePrivacy Directive and do not require prior consent.

The site sets no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no tracking cookies of its own. You can clear, block, or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so may empty your shopping bag, but will not otherwise break the site.

Outbound links

This site links out to third-party platforms — most notably Instagram (for our profile and individual posts) and WhatsApp (for the floating chat button and the store contact buttons), as well as standard tel: phone links. Once you click an outbound link and leave this site, you are subject to the destination's own privacy policies, terms of service, and cookie behaviour. We have no control over those platforms or their data practices.

Your rights under EU GDPR & Spanish LSSI-CE

If you are in the European Union or the European Economic Area, the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) gives you the following rights regarding personal data we hold about you:

Access — request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Erasure ("right to be forgotten") — request deletion of your data, subject to our legal retention obligations for invoices and tax records.
Restriction — limit how we process your data.
Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
Objection — object to specific processing.
Withdraw consent — where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.
Lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD): aepd.es.

To exercise any of these rights regarding data we control, write to blinkformentera@gmail.com. For data held directly by the third-party services listed above (Cloudflare, Google, Snipcart, Stripe/PayPal, shipping carriers), you may also contact them directly through their published channels.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly process personal data of children. If you are a parent or guardian and have a concern, please contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site works, in the services it uses, or in applicable law. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We recommend checking back occasionally if you care.
