Data and Privacy Policy
Version 2.1 (2024-03-25)
Pej cares about your personal privacy and it’s important to us that you feel confident about our processing of your personal data. We are completely transparent about how we collect, process and disclose the personal data we store about you. We never sell your personal data to any third party without your consent.
We welcome the European-wide regulation which aims to improve and better define the processing of personal data to the benefit of our users. As a matter of fact, the main purpose of the regulation is to protect the natural person’s basic rights and freedoms, in particular their rights to personal data protection.
This policy explains how we collect and use your personal data, and how you can access, rectify and erase your personal data. To us, it is important that you read through and understand the policy. You are welcome to contact us at privacy@pej.se or +46 10 188 00 40 for any questions concerning personal data and privacy protection.
Why do we collect your personal data?
We need your personal data to enable our service to operate in the best possible way, as well as to comply with the legal requirements applicable to our service. For example, we need your email address to comply with applicable laws that require us to send you a receipt after having purchased something from us. Certain personal data are used to provide the best possible service and support.
We process all personal data with the utmost regard to your privacy and your rights and freedoms.
Which personal data do we collect and why?
We collect the personal data required for our service to work, which may vary from case to case. For example, we only use the delivery address when an order is to be delivered to a physical address.
How do we collect personal details?
You can – directly or indirectly – provide details about yourself to us in a number of ways, either by providing the details yourself when you set up a user account or when you place an order and pay through a third party. We always inform you in the event that we retrieve details from a third party.
Where do we process the data?
We always aim to process your personal data within the EU/EAA. Personal data may be, however, in some situations, transferred to and processed by another supplier or subcontractor that is located in a country outside the EU/EAA. In doing so, all reasonable legal, technical and organisational measures are taken to ensure your personal data are processed securely and with an adequate degree of protection in accordance with GDPR.
If we transfer personal information to countries outside of the EU/EEA, we may rely on a decision from the European Commission determining that the country provides an adequate level of protection to the Data Protection Laws. Alternatively, we may rely on appropriate safeguards in respect of transfers of personal information to a country outside of the EU/EEA, for example, by agreeing standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.
To whom might we potentially disclose your information?
In order to provide our service, we need help from other companies. Some of these are personal data processors while others, such as merchants on our platform, are personal data controllers in addition to us. Personal data processing agreements have been put in place in accordance with GDPR with all personal data processors. We are happy to disclose any or all of our personal data processing agreements, if requested. Our merchants have a responsibility in parallel with us. Please refer to their agreement to read more about their processing of your personal data.
Authorities: Pej may potentially disclose required details to authorities such as the police, tax agency or other authorities to whom we are liable to disclose details according to applicable laws, or if you have given us consent to do so. Example of legal obligations to disclose details are measures against money laundering and financing of terrorism.
For how long do we store personal data?
We store personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data was collected, or to comply with our obligations and for as long as it is statutorily required, particularly in relation to accounting requirements. You can opt to delete your account yourself, meaning only personal data that are statutorily required to be stored, are stored.
The personal data is only stored for as long as necessary. We have clear routines in place for how to minimise storage of data. Inactive users are erasured once per year.
We have the right to remove information and users who do not comply with the law or who we believe act abusively, offensively and/or do not comply with the policy. Our responsibility does not free users from their responsible for what they publish.
What happens in the event of a data breach or personal data incident?
Should, against all presumptions, a serious data breach or personal data incident occur, we will notify all affected parties, as well as the Swedish Data Protection Authority (Sw. Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten) as soon as possible. We have routines in place for this purpose, as well as an established structure for internal and external reporting.
