The information we collect from third parties are as follows:

1) Address information from public registers to be sure that we have the correct address for you.

2) Credit rating information from credit rating agencies, banks or information companies.

Which parties do we provide your personal data to?

Personal data processors. We may share your personal information with companies that are our personal data processors. A personal data processor is a company that process the information on our behalf and according to our documented instructions. We work with data processors who assist us with matters such as:

1) Payment solutions providers (credit card companies, banks and other payment service providers) such as Klarna, Izettle.

2) Marketing / newsletter service providers (print and distribution services, social media, media agencies or advertising agencies etc.).

3) IT service providers (companies that handle the necessary operation, technical support and maintenance of our IT solutions).

When your personal data is shared with such data processors, it is only for purposes that are compliant with the purposes for which we have collected the information (e.g. to be able to fulfil our contractual obligations under the purchase agreement). We review all of our data processors to ensure that they can provide adequate guarantees regarding the security and confidentiality of your personal data.

We have entered into agreements with all data processors through which they guarantee the security of the personal data processed and undertake to comply with our security requirements as well as restrictions and requirements regarding international transfer of personal data.

Personal data controllers. We may also share your personal data with certain companies that are independently responsible for the processing of your personal data. The fact that the company is independently responsible for your personal data means that we are not the ones who control how the information provided to the company is to be processed. When your personal data is shared with a company that is independently responsible for personal data, that company’s privacy policy and personal data management apply.

Independent personal data controllers with whom we share your personal data are:

1) Companies that take care of the transport of goods (e.g. logistics companies).

2) Companies that offer payment solutions (credit card companies, banks and other payment service providers).

The data processors mentioned above could also, in certain circumstances, be regarded as data controllers.

Your personal data will not be passed on by us or our representatives for the use of additional third parties in any form, unless we have received your permission or are obliged to do so by law or if it is an approved data sub-processor. Certain personal data may be stored or processed in jurisdictions outside the EU and the EEA area, whose regulations on personal data may differ from EU regulations. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate protection measures are taken to ensure that those who process data in that country maintain a personal data protection that is equivalent to those which exist in the EU/EEA.

For how long do you store my personal data?

We store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the relevant purpose, please see further details under section 5 above. We have also implemented routines for erasing data which is no longer necessary.
