Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze traffic, and remember your preferences. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
- Essential cookies: Required for checkout, cart functionality, and security — cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our Site (anonymized).
- Preference cookies: Remember your language and region settings.
You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect site functionality. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site profiling.
We operate primarily within Europe, and your data is stored on secure servers located in the European Union (Netherlands & Germany). However, shipping carriers and payment processors may transfer data outside the EEA. In such cases, we ensure:
- Adequate legal safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
- Compliance with GDPR standards for international transfers.
- That your data receives the same level of protection as within the EU.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:
- SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
- Secure hosting with firewalls, intrusion detection, and regular patching.
- Access controls — Only essential personnel have access to customer data.
- Regular backups & audits to ensure data integrity.
While no system is 100% secure, we continuously update our security protocols. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and relevant authorities within 72 hours as required by GDPR.
Europe Street Hub does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18. Our products and services are strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
To comply with our 18+ policy and legal obligations, we may use third-party age verification services for flagged orders. This process may require additional information (e.g., date of birth verification). Age verification data is not stored longer than necessary and is used solely for compliance purposes.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., payment gateways, shipping carriers). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
If you believe we have violated your privacy rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in your country of residence within the EU. In the Netherlands, the relevant authority is the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) — autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
However, we encourage you to contact us first so we can resolve your concern directly.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of May 2026 and supersedes all previous versions. We reserve the right to update this policy — material changes will be notified via email or website notice.
