1.1 What is personal data and what is processing of personal data?

Personal data is any information that can be directly or indirectly attributed to a living natural person.

Examples of common processing operations are collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, processing, transfer and erasure.

3. What sources does Idyll Sweden collect your personal data from?

In addition to the information you provide to us, or that we collect from you based on your purchases and how you use our services, we may also collect personal information from someone else (known as a third party). The information we collect from third parties is as follows:

  • Address information from public registers to make sure we have the right address details for you
  • Information on creditworthiness from credit rating agencies, banks or credit reference agencies

4. Who has access to/processes your personal data?

4.1. Vilka kan vi komma att dela dina personuppgifter med?

4.1.1. Personuppgiftsbiträden

Where it is necessary for us to provide our services, we share your personal data with companies that are so-called data processors for us. A processor is a company that processes the information on our behalf and according to our instructions. We have data processors who help us with:

  1. Transport (logistics companies and freight forwarders)
  2. Payment solutions (card acquirers, banks and other payment service providers)
  3. Marketing (print, social media, media agencies or advertising agencies)
  4. IT services (companies that handle the necessary operation, technical support and maintenance of our IT solutions)

When your personal data is shared with processors, it is only done for purposes that are compatible with the purposes for which we collected the information (for example, to fulfill our obligations under the purchase agreement). We check all data processors to ensure that they can provide sufficient guarantees regarding the security and confidentiality of personal data. We have written agreements with all processors, whereby they guarantee the security of the personal data processed and undertake to comply with our security requirements, as well as restrictions and requirements regarding the international transfer of personal data.

Companies that are independent data controllers. We also share your personal data with certain companies that are independent data controllers. The fact that the company is an independent data controller means that we do not control how the information provided to the company is processed. Independent data controllers with whom we share your personal data are:

  1. Government authorities (police, tax authorities or other authorities) if we are required to do so by law or on suspicion of a crime
  2. Companies providing general cargo transportation (logistics companies and freight forwarders)
  3. Payment solution providers (card acquirers, banks and other payment service providers)

When your personal data is shared with a company that is an independent data controller, that company’s privacy policy and data processing practices apply.

4.1.2. Andra tjänsteleverantörer

Other companies and individuals may perform functions in accordance with our privacy policy on our behalf. Examples include customer support specialists, web hosting companies, data analysis companies and email service providers. Such third parties may have access to the personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for any other purpose.

4.1.3. Företagsöverlåtelser

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell some of our assets. In such transactions, user information, including personal information, is generally one of the transferred business assets. By providing your personal information on idyllsweden.com, you consent to the transfer of your information to such parties in these circumstances.

4.1.4. Billmates behandling av personuppgifter

When purchasing from us, Billmate’s checkout is used as standard, Billmate therefore processes your personal data as a data controller. The personal data is processed, among other things, for the fulfillment of the agreement, and to carry out identification and credit control via external and internal databases. For more detailed information about Billmate’s processing of personal data and your rights in connection with the processing, see: https://www.billmate.se/policyer/

4.2. Vi delar inte personlig information med en tredje part utan ditt samtycke

We will never share your personal information with any third party so that they can market their products or services to you without your consent.

4.3. Var behandlar vi dina personuppgifter?

We always aim to process your personal data within the EU/EEA and all our own IT systems are located within the EU/EEA. However, in the case of system support and maintenance, we may need to transfer the information to a country outside the EU/EEA, for example if we share your personal data with a processor who, either itself or through a subcontractor, is established or stores information in a country outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, the processor may only access the information relevant for the purpose (for example, log files).

Regardless of the country in which your personal data is processed, we take all reasonable legal, technical and organizational measures to ensure that the level of protection is the same as within the EU/EEA. In cases where personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, the level of protection is guaranteed either by a decision of the European Commission that the country in question ensures an adequate level of protection or by the use of so-called appropriate safeguards. Examples of appropriate safeguards are an approved code of conduct in the recipient country, standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules or Privacy Shield. If you would like to receive a copy of the safeguards in place or information on where these have been made available, please contact us.

4.4. Hur länge sparar vi dina personuppgifter?

We will never keep your personal data longer than necessary for the respective purpose. See more about the specific retention periods under each purpose.

5. Your rights & consent

5.1. Vad har du för rättigheter som registrerad?

Right of access (so-called register extracts). We are always open and transparent about how we process your personal data and if you want to get a deeper insight into what personal data we process about you, you can request access to the data. The information is provided in the form of a register extract indicating the purposes, categories of personal data, categories of recipients, storage periods, information on where the information has been collected and the existence of automated decision-making.

Right of rectification. You can request that your personal data be rectified if it is inaccurate. Within the framework of the stated purpose, you also have the right to complete any incomplete personal data.

Please note that if you have a customer profile on idyllsweden.com, you can change certain information directly via My Account. You have the right to withdraw any consent you have given us at any time. For example, consent to send newsletters.

Right to erasure. You can request the erasure of personal data we process about you if

  • the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed
  • You object to a balance of interests we have made based on legitimate interest and your reason for objecting outweighs our legitimate interest
  • You object to processing for direct marketing purposes
  • Personal data is processed illegally
  • The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject
  • Personal data has been collected about a child (under the age of 13) for whom you have parental responsibility and the collection has taken place in the context of offering information society services (e.g. social media)

Please note that we may be entitled to refuse your request if there are legal obligations that prevent us from immediately deleting certain personal data. These obligations come from accounting and tax legislation, banking and money laundering legislation, but also from consumer law. It may also be that the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. Should we be prevented from complying with a request for erasure, we will instead block the personal data from being used for purposes other than the purpose preventing the requested erasure.

Right to restriction. You have the right to request that our processing of your personal data be restricted. If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we process, you can request a restriction of processing for the time necessary for us to verify the accuracy of the personal data. If we no longer need the personal data for the identified purposes, but you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, you can request restricted processing of the data by us. This means that you can request that we do not delete your data. If you have objected to a legitimate interest assessment that we have made as a lawful basis for a purpose, you can request restricted processing for the time we need to verify whether our legitimate interests outweigh your interests in having the data erased.

If processing has been restricted under any of the situations above, we may only, in addition to the storage itself, process the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another person or if you have given your consent.

Right to object to certain types of processing. You always have the right to opt out of direct marketing and to object to any processing of personal data based on a balance of interests.

Legitimate interest: Where we use a balancing of interests as the legal basis for a purpose, you have the possibility to object to the processing. In order to continue processing your personal data after such an objection, we need to be able to demonstrate a compelling legitimate ground for the processing in question which overrides your interests, rights or freedoms. Otherwise, we may only process the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Direct marketing (including analyses carried out for direct marketing purposes): You have the possibility to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. The objection also covers the analysis of personal data (so-called profiling) carried out for direct marketing purposes. Direct marketing refers to all types of outreach marketing activities (for example, by post, email and SMS). Marketing activities where you as a customer have actively chosen to use one of our services or otherwise sought us out to learn more about our services are not considered direct marketing (for example, product recommendations or other features and offers on My Account).

If you object to direct marketing, we will stop processing your personal data for that purpose, as well as cease all types of direct marketing activities. You can change this by changing the settings on My Account, unsubscribe link in marketing emails or contacting customer service.

Right to data portability. If our right to process your personal data is based on either your consent or the performance of a contract with you, you have the right to request that the data concerning you that you have provided to us be transferred to another controller (so-called data portability). A prerequisite for data portability is that the transfer is technically feasible and can be automated.

6. How does Idyll Sweden handle social security numbers?

We will only process your social security number when it is clearly justified by the purpose, necessary for secure identification, or if there is any other compelling reason. We will always minimize the use of your social security number as much as possible by using your birth number instead, where it is sufficient.

7. How is your personal data protected?

We use IT systems to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data. We have put in place specific security measures to protect your personal data against unlawful or unauthorized processing (such as unauthorized access, loss, destruction or damage). Only those persons who actually need to process your personal data in order for us to fulfill our stated purposes have access to it.
