Personal data is information that can be associated with a physical person. A few examples of these could be Swedish personal number (similar to social security number), name, address, email addresses, and other contact details. Your purchase history can also be classified as personal data and in some cases, personal data could also be an IP-address, if this can be attributed to a physical person.

We are going to store your personal data until the purchase has been completed (including delivery and payment) and during a time of 36 months thereafter in order to handle any complaints and warranty matters. Note that an administration period of up to 30 days may occur. This collection of your personal data is required for us to be able to complete our obligations of the purchase agreement. If the data is not provided we are not able to fulfill our commitments and we are therefore forced to refuse your purchase.
