At PKN Audio, looking after the personal data you share with us is extremely important. We want you to be confident that your data is safe and secure with us, and understand how we use it to offer you a better, more personalized experience.


> What this Privacy Policy covers:

The data controller is PKN Audio Kft. (referred to in this policy as “PKN,” “we” or “us”).


PKN is committed to doing the right thing when it comes to how we collect, use and protect information that identifies or is associated with you as a real person (“personal data”). This is why we have developed this privacy and cookie policy (“policy”), which:

  • Outlines the types of personal data that we collect;

  • Explains how and why we collect and use your personal data;

  • Explains why and when we will share personal data within PKN Audio and with other organizations (suppliers and manufacturers); and

  • Explains the rights and choices you have when it comes to your personal data.

We offer a wide range of products and services, so we want to clearly explain what this policy covers. This policy applies to our websites, including www.pknaudio.com , and our mobile apps for iOS or Android mobile devices (collectively, our “services”). Using our services means: This policy also applies when you shop with us over the phone, and also if you contact us, or any time we contact you about our services.

> Personal Data what We collect:

This section describes the personal data we may collect from you when you use our services, and what other personal data we may receive from other sources.

Data you provide to us directly.

  • Your name, profile information, shipping address and billing addresses, payment information, email address, phone numbers, and business name (where applicable).

  • When you create an account, you are prompted to create a username and a password. PKN maintains your username and password (in an encrypted format) inside our secure environment and only uses your information to welcome you back and to personalize your experience.

  • The shipping and billing addresses you provided for convenience during future purchases.

  • The products and other information in your cart, project, BOM, or contained in your order history.

When you contact us, any time PKN contacts you, or whenever you take part in any promotions, competitions, surveys or questionnaires from PKN, or whenever you post or speak with us through social media, we may collect the following information:

  • Personal data you provide anytime you contact us (for example: your name and contact details, including phone and email);

  • Details of the emails and other digital communications, including any links in them that you access, and whether you have opened the communications;

  • Email headers, source IP Information, sending email server hostnames and ISP information;

  • Your feedback and contributions to customer surveys and questionnaires.

You are free to choose which information you want to provide to us, or whether you want to provide us with information at all.

By not providing this information, you will not be able to use our website, order products, or use some of our services.

When purchasing PKN products, you should know:

  • PKN does not keep credit card numbers. Your credit card information is tokenized the first time it is processed. Should you elect to save a credit card to your account for future use, only the encrypted token is stored and used to charge your credit card account;

  • PKN deploys technologies that detect and remove Credit Card information sent through unapproved channels via email or fax; and

  • PKN integrates with regional payment processors globally. Third-party payment processors (SimplePay, PayPal, etc.) process payment data through their sites and not through PKN's website.
