Personal data
The site « www.machobbies.fr » does not request nominative registration from visitors and does not record any nominative data for the simple consultation of its pages.

In order to be able to follow (ex. maintain a wishlist) or to be able to proceed to the purchase of a product published on the site, the visitor will be asked to connect to a nominative account in order to become a customer of the site.

An asterisk indicates whether data is mandatory or optional.
No sensitive information is collected from the customer, i.e. no data relating to racial or ethnic origins, political, philosophical or religious opinions, or trade union membership, or relating to the customer’s health or sexual orientation.

All bank details entered during the finalisation of an order placed on the site pass only through secure bank transaction processing platforms.
