NewtonPC is responsible for the personal information described in this notice.

Your first name is optional. Registration does not ask for a title, phone number or address.

Marketing is optional and separate from sign-in codes and essential account messages.
Control your session
Choose Stay signed in on your own device, or keep your session in the current tab.
Information we collect
The information we collect depends on how you use NewtonPC.
Account information
When you create or use a NewtonPC account, we may store:
- your email address;
- your NewtonPC account ID;
- your first name, if you choose to provide it;
- the date your account was created or updated;
- records showing your acceptance of our terms;
- your marketing preferences and changes to those preferences.
Your email address is used to identify your account, verify access and associate relevant orders with you.
Authentication information
NewtonPC uses email-based verification codes for account access.
We do not store your temporary sign-in code as part of your account profile.
Our authentication provider may process technical information necessary to verify your identity, maintain your session and protect the service against misuse.
Saved PC builds
If you use the Save build feature, your selected components may be stored locally in your browser so the configuration can be restored later.
Unless otherwise stated, a locally saved build is not automatically associated with your NewtonPC account or sent to NewtonPC's servers.
Order information
When online ordering becomes available, we may need to collect additional information such as:
- your full name;
- delivery and billing address;
- telephone number;
- email address;
- products and PC configuration purchased;
- order number and order history;
- payment status;
- delivery and fulfilment information;
- support, warranty or return information.
How we use your information
We may use personal information to:
- create and operate your NewtonPC account;
- verify your identity when signing in;
- associate orders with your account;
- provide account and order-related communications;
- remember preferences you have selected;
- maintain records of consent and acceptance of our terms;
- provide customer support;
- maintain the security and reliability of the website;
- prevent misuse, fraud and unauthorised account access;
- comply with legal, accounting and regulatory obligations;
- send marketing communications where you have chosen to receive them.
We only process personal information where we have an appropriate legal basis for doing so.
Depending on the purpose, this may include processing that is necessary to provide a service or fulfil a contract with you, comply with a legal obligation, pursue a legitimate business interest, or act on your consent.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
Emails and marketing
NewtonPC may send you essential communications that are necessary for your account or orders.
These can include:
- sign-in and verification codes;
- security notifications;
- order confirmations;
- order and delivery updates;
- important service messages;
- responses to support requests.
These messages are not marketing communications and may be necessary for us to provide the service you requested.
Marketing is optional.
If you choose to receive NewtonPC news, offers or promotional messages, we will record that preference. You can change your marketing preference at any time through your account settings or using any unsubscribe option included in marketing emails.
Withdrawing marketing consent will not prevent you from receiving essential account, security or order communications.
Sessions and browser storage
NewtonPC uses Supabase for account authentication and session management.
When you select Stay signed in, authentication information may be stored in your browser's local storage so your session can continue between visits.
If you do not select this option, authentication information may instead be limited to the current browser session or tab.
Browser features that restore previous tabs or sessions may also restore associated browser storage.
You should sign out when using a shared or public device.
NewtonPC may also use browser storage to temporarily remember:
- saved PC configurations;
- registration progress;
- interface preferences;
- other information necessary for website functionality.
Browser storage is separate from traditional advertising or analytics cookies. If NewtonPC introduces optional analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies, this notice and our cookie controls will be updated accordingly.
Service providers
NewtonPC uses third-party service providers to operate parts of the website and account system.
Supabase
Supabase provides database and authentication infrastructure used by the NewtonPC account system.
This may involve processing account information, authentication information and technical service logs on our behalf.
Vercel
Vercel is intended to provide hosting and infrastructure for the NewtonPC website.
Hosting providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, request information and service logs as part of operating and securing the website.
Email providers
NewtonPC uses, or will use, an email delivery provider to send verification codes and other service-related messages.
Payment providers
When checkout becomes available, payment information will be processed through the payment provider selected by NewtonPC.
Where possible, NewtonPC intends to avoid directly storing full payment card details.
NewtonPC remains responsible for ensuring that organisations processing personal information on our behalf are used in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside Denmark or the European Economic Area.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, NewtonPC will use appropriate safeguards where required by data protection law.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or where we are required to retain it by law.
Different categories of information may therefore be kept for different periods.
For example:
- account information may be retained while your account remains active;
- marketing preference records may be retained where necessary to demonstrate your communication preferences;
- security and service logs may be kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting;
- order and transaction records may need to be retained to meet accounting, tax, warranty or other legal obligations;
- information associated with an account deletion request may be deleted unless there is another lawful reason for retaining it.
Account deletion
You can request deletion of your NewtonPC account by contacting info@newtonpc.com.
Deleting your account does not necessarily mean that every record connected to you can immediately be deleted.
We may need to retain certain information where it is required for:
- accounting and tax obligations;
- completed orders;
- warranties and customer claims;
- fraud prevention or security;
- legal claims;
- compliance with other legal obligations.
Where information must be retained, we will limit its use to the relevant purpose.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, data protection law may give you rights relating to your personal information.
These can include the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate information;
- request deletion of information in certain circumstances;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to certain forms of processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and legal basis for processing.
To make a privacy request, contact:
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
You also have the right to raise a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency, Datatilsynet, if you believe your personal information has been processed unlawfully.
Further information about data protection rights is available from Datatilsynet.
Security
NewtonPC takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss.
No internet service can guarantee absolute security, but we aim to limit access to personal information and use service providers and systems appropriate to the information being processed.
If you believe your NewtonPC account or personal information may have been compromised, contact us at info@newtonpc.com.
Changes to this notice
We may update this Privacy Notice when our website, services, providers or legal obligations change.
Where changes are significant, we may provide notice through the website, your account or by email where appropriate.
The latest version of this notice will always be available on the NewtonPC website.
