Transaction Security

GKpremium Coins & Collectibles.com is committed to ensuring the security and integrity of the data it collects about the users of its website. We have adopted procedures that safeguard the personal data users submit through our website or provide by any other means (e.g., by phone).

These procedures protect users’ data against any unauthorized access or disclosure, loss or misuse, alteration, or destruction. They also help ensure that such information is accurate and used properly.

Most modern web browsers support the SSL protocol (e.g., Microsoft Edge/Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Google Chrome). We recommend using an up-to-date browser when connecting to www.gkpremiumcollectibles.com.

GDPR – Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and on the basis of the following legal grounds:

  • Where we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data relating to transactions, processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
  • Data you share with us in the context of orders, which are necessary for the completion and/or processing of those orders, are processed under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
