Our commitment to legal compliance includes adherence to strict guidelines concerning data collection, storage, security, and deletion, and we strive to make this process as clear as possible for all our users.

The policy has been updated as of 2025-01-08.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They serve a variety of purposes, ranging from basic site functionality to analytics and personalized content. Cookies allow us to remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our website, and ultimately enhance your browsing and shopping experience. Cookies can be either temporary (session cookies) or permanent (persistent cookies), and they can be stored on your computer or mobile device.
Types of Cookies We Use
At RefreshRealmdoc, we use different types of cookies to serve various purposes:
- Essential and Functional Cookies: These cookies are crucial for the proper functioning of our website. They allow you to navigate the site and use core features such as secure customer login areas, shopping carts, and checkout processes. Without these cookies, certain services offered by the site may not function correctly.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by providing information on areas visited, time spent on particular pages, and identifying any issues encountered. This information is used in aggregated form and does not personally identify you.
- Advertising Cookies: We partner with selected third-party service providers to display tailored advertising on our site. These cookies track your online behavior to deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
- Targeting Cookies: These cookies help us deliver content that is likely to be of interest to you and are often used to gather anonymized data on user preferences and habits.
We continuously work on improving our use of cookies and, therefore, the classification or purpose of certain cookies might be updated from time to time.
Cookie Consent and Your Choices
When you first visit our website, you will typically receive a prompt requesting your consent to store cookies on your device. This request is made in accordance with local privacy laws and guidelines. You have the right to accept or decline specific types of cookies, except those that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. If you choose to decline non-essential cookies, certain features or the overall user experience may be affected.
You have the ability to modify your cookie preferences at any point during your interaction with our site. Instructions on how to alter or disable cookies through your browser settings or other tools are provided as necessary. Please note that turning off cookies might have some impact on your experience and on the full functionality of our website.
Data Protection and Privacy Laws
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. In line with robust local data privacy regulations, our cookie policy is designed to be fully compliant with applicable privacy rules and guidelines. Although specific regulations vary, our practices are consistent with the principles of transparency, accountability, and data minimization.
Our data processing practices are commonly aligned with international data protection best practices, ensuring that any personal data collected via cookies is processed fairly, stored securely, and used in compliance with applicable data protection laws. These measures include, but are not limited to, advanced encryption methods, regular security audits, and best practices in data management. If the local regulatory environment requires the adherence to standards similar to GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PDPA, or PIPL, our approach meets or exceeds those guidelines.
We ensure that the data collected through cookies will only be used for purposes that are explicitly communicated to you at the time of collection. Any additional processing of your data for research, analytics, or marketing will require further consent, should that be legally mandated. In circumstances where your data is aggregated and anonymized, it ceases to be classified as personal data and the stringent requirements become less applicable.
Data Storage, Security, and Retention
The security of your data is of utmost importance to RefreshRealmdoc. We maintain strong safeguards to protect the information we collect via cookies. This includes state-of-the-art encryption technologies on data storage and secure transfer methods. Access to sensitive data is strictly controlled, monitored, and safeguarded against unauthorized access.
We retain data collected by cookies only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, or for legitimate business purposes as determined by applicable laws. In some cases, data may be retained for a predetermined period necessary to analyze trends, understand user behavior, and enhance the overall performance of our website. Once the data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
Users have the right to request a review, correction, or deletion of their personal data at any time, subject to applicable legal limitations. If you wish to exercise this right, please follow the provided procedures, and we will take the necessary steps to remove or anonymize your data in accordance with our internal practices and legal requirements.
Use of Third-Party Cookies
In addition to the cookies set directly by RefreshRealmdoc, our website may also use cookies set by third parties. These cookies are primarily used for analytics, advertising, and social media engagements. Third-party cookies enable us to collaborate with external partners to enhance our service delivery, which includes measuring the effectiveness of our digital marketing efforts and understanding visitor interactions.
Third parties may use cookies to collect data regarding your visits to our website and other websites in order to deliver targeted advertising. We have agreements with these providers to ensure that they adhere to rigorous data protection guidelines. Although we do not have direct control over these cookies, we continuously review our relationships with third-party providers to ensure that their practices remain in line with our privacy values.
It should be noted that third-party cookie usage is subject to individual privacy policies maintained by their respective operators. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with, to understand how they manage your data.
Your Rights Regarding Information Collected via Cookies
At RefreshRealmdoc, we respect and uphold your privacy rights. You are entitled to inquire about the types of personal data collected through cookies, understand the purposes for which it is used, and request clarification pertaining to data processing procedures. We provide these rights in adherence to our commitment to transparent practice and accountability.
Furthermore, you have the right to:

Any such or similar requests will be handled promptly and in accordance with the current legal framework, ensuring that your request is respected, and any necessary adjustments are implemented without undue delay.
Procedure for Data-Related Requests
Should you wish to exercise any of your rights—whether it is to access, correct, or delete personal data acquired through cookies—our internal procedures ensure that your request is processed in a secure and timely manner. We maintain detailed records of such requests and follow a strict verification process in order to authenticate your identity before processing any data-related inquiries.
Once a request is verified, the process of data deletion or, where applicable, data anonymization is initiated. We aim to complete most requests within the time frames stipulated by the applicable legal requirements and will inform you of the progress and outcome of your request via the channels you have previously used to communicate with us.
Please note that certain data may be exempt from deletion under specific circumstances, such as when it is needed for legal obligations or in cases where retention is necessary for legitimate business operations. In such cases, we will inform you about the rationale and the duration for which the data will be maintained.
Updating and Changes to Our Cookie Policy
RefreshRealmdoc reserves the right to update or amend this cookie policy as needed. Changes may be made to reflect new technological developments, modifications in our business practices, or adjustments due to changes in applicable legislation and regulatory guidelines.
