When we refer to “you” or “your”, we mean you as a customer, website visitor or other individual whose personal data we process in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We want you to feel safe when shopping with us. We therefore handle personal data responsibly and in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection legislation.

Your name
Billing and shipping address
Email address and telephone number
Order and purchase information
Information necessary to process your payment
Messages and information you provide through our contact form or other communications
We do not normally receive or store your complete payment card or PayPal account credentials. Payments are processed by the relevant payment service provider.

IP address
Device type and browser
Information about how you navigate and interact with the Website
Traffic and usage information
Information from third parties
We may receive information from third parties that help us provide our Services, including our website platform, payment provider and print-on-demand fulfilment provider.
For example, information necessary to process and fulfil an order may be exchanged between The Swedish Jewess, Squarespace, PayPal and Gelato.
How we use your personal data
We process personal data where necessary to operate our online store, fulfil orders, communicate with customers and comply with applicable laws.
This may include using your personal data to:
Process and manage orders
Process payments
Produce and fulfil products
Arrange shipping and delivery
Send order confirmations and information about your purchase
Handle returns, complaints and customer service enquiries
Respond to messages sent through our contact form
Maintain and improve the Website and customer experience
Prevent fraud, misuse and security incidents
Comply with legal obligations, including accounting and tax requirements
Where applicable, we may also use personal data for marketing purposes where you have consented to such processing or where another lawful basis applies.
We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis under GDPR. Depending on the circumstances, this may include performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, your consent or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business and protecting our Services.
How we share personal data
We only share personal data where necessary to provide our Services, operate our business, comply with the law or protect our legitimate interests.
Squarespace
Our Website and online store are operated using Squarespace. Squarespace may process certain personal and technical data in connection with hosting, e-commerce functionality, website security and related services.
Gelato
Our products are produced and fulfilled on demand through Gelato.
When you place an order, the information necessary to manufacture and deliver your products may be shared with Gelato and its relevant production and logistics partners. This may include your name, shipping address, contact information and details of the products ordered.
Gelato may use production and delivery partners in different countries depending on the product and delivery destination.
PayPal
Payments are processed through PayPal. Information necessary to complete and verify your payment may therefore be processed by PayPal in accordance with its own privacy practices.
We do not receive or store your complete PayPal login credentials or other sensitive payment authentication information.
Shipping and logistics providers
Gelato and its production partners may share the information required for delivery with postal services, couriers and other logistics providers.
The specific delivery provider may vary depending on the destination, product and location from which the order is fulfilled.
Authorities and legal obligations
We may disclose personal data to authorities or other parties where required by law, court order or another legally binding obligation.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, protect our legal rights or protect the security of our customers and Services.
Business transfers
If The Swedish Jewess or its business operations are sold, transferred or reorganised, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable data protection legislation.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Cookies and similar technologies
Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies.
A cookie is a small file stored on your device that allows websites to function properly, remember certain preferences and understand how visitors interact with them.
Cookies may be used to:
Enable essential Website and shopping-cart functionality
Remember preferences
Maintain security
Analyse Website traffic and usage
Improve Website performance and user experience
Support marketing or advertising functions, where applicable and where you have provided any consent required by law
Types of cookies
Essential cookies are required for core Website and e-commerce functionality.
Functional cookies may remember settings and preferences.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website.
Marketing cookies, if used, may help measure advertising or display more relevant marketing content. Such cookies are used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, with your consent.
When you visit our Website, you may be given the opportunity to accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie settings.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.
How long we keep your personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or for as long as required by law.
For example:
Order, transaction and accounting information may be retained for the period required under Swedish accounting and tax legislation.
Customer service communications may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the matter and document our communication.
Marketing information is retained until you withdraw your consent, unsubscribe or the information is no longer necessary for the relevant purpose.
Cookie information is retained according to the applicable cookie settings and retention periods.
When personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
Your rights under GDPR
Subject to the conditions and limitations of applicable law, you have the right to:
Request access to personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
Request deletion of your personal data
Request restriction of certain processing
Object to processing based on legitimate interests
Withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent
Request data portability where applicable
Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority
If you are located in Sweden, you may lodge a complaint with Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY).
To exercise your rights, please contact us through the contact form on theswedishjewess.com.
We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure or misuse.
Our Website and the third-party services used to operate our store employ security measures appropriate to their respective services, including encrypted data transmission where applicable.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children’s privacy
Our Services are not specifically directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children in circumstances where parental consent is legally required.
If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us without appropriate authorisation, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information.
International transfers of personal data
Some of the service providers we use, including Squarespace, PayPal and Gelato, operate internationally. As a result, personal data may in certain circumstances be processed outside Sweden or the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, such transfers must be made in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and using an appropriate legal mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission or approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Third-party services
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
The Swedish Jewess is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties. We encourage you to review the relevant privacy policies when using third-party websites or services.
Third-party providers involved in your purchase, such as PayPal and certain delivery or fulfilment providers, may also process personal data as independent data controllers for some purposes and therefore have their own privacy policies.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if our Services, suppliers or legal obligations change.
The latest version will always be published on theswedishjewess.com, together with the date on which it was last updated.
