Information comes from you when you provide information about yourself to us, for example when you buy products (general information in the form of e.g. demographic data, name, email address, telephone number, payment information, items, order amount and frequency. This also includes sending transactional emails, order confirmation, shipping confirmation, returns and refund confirmation).

Consent

If you have given us your consent to receive targeted marketing, for example by subscribing to the newsletter, we may process your contact information and information about your purchases for the purpose of sending you marketing as well as to personalize this for you and your preferences. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

If you have given us your consent to the placement of cookies, we may accordingly process certain personal information about your use of our platforms for the purpose of generating statistics and for marketing purposes.

If you have made a purchase with us, we may also process personal information regarding these in order to personalize our targeted marketing to you and your preferences, if you have consented to this.

Contractual obligations

We process personal information related to your profile and purchases in order to fulfil purchase contracts with you, manage your customer relationship with us, including your purchases as well as provide customer service, manage payments, as well as the processing of returns, complaints and warranty claims.

Legitimate interests

If you have made purchases from us and have not refused to receive marketing from us regarding products similar to those you have previously purchased, we may send marketing related to such similar products to you. You can unsubscribe from further inquiries at any time via links in received emails.

We may process your personal information to carry out customer surveys, research, or data analysis that is aimed at enhancing the quality of our customer service, websites, products/services, marketing, customer relationships, and experiences.

You may at any time ask us to delete your personal identifiable information. Please get in touch with us at info@ecoloc.se.

Depending on what services you request, we only process your personal identifiable information where we have lawful grounds to do so. Where we require your consent to collect and process your personal data, the request form will be explicitly provided.

If we have asked for your consent, it can always be revoked by contacting us, and we will not use or process your personal identifiable information anymore. 

Sharing of information

As a general rule, EcoLoc never rents or sells your personal identifiable information to other companies or individuals.

Security measures

We aim to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and any other unlawful forms of processing. We aim to ensure that the level of security and the measures adopted to protect your personal data are appropriate for the risks presented by the nature and use of your personal data.

We restrict access to your personal data to our employees who need to use the information to process it on our behalf and who are contractually required to keep your personal data secure and confidential.

If our legal grounds rely on your consent, you may revoke your consent at any time. Where you have exercised your right to withdraw your consent, we may be required to keep your personal identifiable information for a defined period to meet our legal obligations and defend ourselves in legal disputes under certain circumstances.
