GDPR and Privacy Policy
Backpackinglight AB Org: 556961-7441 is the data controller for the personal data you choose to provide to us. We respect your privacy, process your personal data in accordance with applicable legislation and are open about what we collect, why we do it, how we use it and how you have control over the information you have chosen to provide to us. What personal data do we collect from you and why? Name & address to be able to send packages to you. Mobile phone (optional) to be able to contact you if necessary and be able to phone / sms-notify deliveries. Email address (becomes our unique "customer number" for you) to be able to send order confirmation and other necessary communication (for example, when we adjust the terms of purchase or privacy policy). This is also true in reverse. We need to know that "you are you" when you email us and, for example, want to change your phone number, residential address or something else in the personal information we have about you. Newsletters (Mailchimp) are voluntary and can be signed up / unsubscribed just how/ when you want. You can also sign up for our newsletter completely separately without being a customer / registered and just by entering your email address. This then does not fall under GDPR as your email address is not linked to any other information.
Cookies for the website to function properly. We use so-called session cookies during your visit to the webshop and they are saved for one hour. For example, should you accidentally close the browser, you can return to the website within that hour and continue without the shopping cart being empty.
In the webshop, we use SVEA, PayPal and SWISH as a payment provider as a checkout solution in our webshop. There, it is SVEA themselves who are responsible for personal data and your contractual partner. Contact SVEAS customer service if you have questions regarding your personal data there. BACKPACKINGLIGHT thus does NOT collect social security numbers, credit card information, etc. that have to do with payment, creditworthiness, etc. when you shop in our webshop.
How do we protect your personal data? It is we, BACKPACKINGLIGHT, who are responsible for personal data both internally and externally (with the help of contracted so-called personal data assistants for IT services, distribution and administration) and we are responsible for ensuring that your personal data is stored and processed in the best, safest possible way.
How long do we save your personal data? We save your data as long as you are a registered customer and when you place an order, this information is saved for 36 months. This is due to the right of complaints, warranty commitments and to comply with statutory storage times. Your rights of access, rectification and erasure
