Executive Summary: Pickalia is an independent product and price comparison platform. We display products and prices from authorized affiliate catalogs. We do not sell directly, nor do we alter descriptions or prices. If your brand appears, here’s why and how you can manage it.
Pickalia collects data from public catalogs and affiliate networks with which we maintain marketing agreements. These third-party catalogs may include products associated with your brand. This:
| Regulation | Key Clause | Application to Pickalia |
|---|---|---|
| GDPR (EU) 2016/679 | Art. 6.1.f – legitimate interest | We process non-personal catalog data to inform users. |
| LSSI-CE 34/2002 | Articles 14–17 | We act as passive intermediaries and respond to valid takedown notices. |
| Digital Services Act (EU 2022/2065) | Articles 9–11 | We apply a notice-and-action mechanism for removals. |
| Directive 2019/790/EU | Article 17 | We are legally entitled to link to third-party affiliate content. |
| Trademark Law (RDL 23/2018) | Articles 34–39 | Products are removed only with real risk and unique identifiers (EAN/GTIN). |
If you wish to remove specific products from our platform, we require EAN or GTIN codes. These identifiers allow us to accurately locate and exclude only the correct items.
| Product | Brand | EAN | GTIN |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headphones Z1 | Sonic+ | 1234567890123 | 01234567890123 |
Please send your request to legal@pickalia.com and specify whether the removal is temporary or permanent.
Response timelines:
| Impact | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Reduced visibility | Lower brand exposure in key comparisons |
| Decreased traffic | Fewer clicks from interested users |
| Competitive loss | Your competitors will remain visible |
Our affiliates may add new items under your brand. If you wish to keep your brand excluded, please keep your list of EAN/GTIN identifiers up to date.
If you have any concerns or wish to exercise your rights, please email us.
