Privacy policy.

Who I am

I am Åsa Boström and my website address is: https://asabostrom.com

What do I do with your information

I am committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and will store the minimum amount of data about you necessary to use my website and complete your purchases. All customer data, like your name and address, is secured by SSL.

When you purchase something from my shop, as part of the buying and selling process, I collect the personal information you give me such as your name, address and email address. When you browse my website, I also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide me with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

Consent

How do you get my consent?

When you provide me with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, and place an order, I imply that you consent to my collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. If I ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, I will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If after you opt-in to my newsletter, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for me to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at anytime, by writing to me at info@asabostrom.com

Contact forms

I keep contact form submissions for a period for customer service purposes, for replying to your emails, but I do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.

Cookies

Like most websites, I use small bits of data called cookies stored on users’ computers to simulate a continuous connection. Cookies recognise information about your preferences and passwords and allow you to move within my website without reintroducing yourself.

Webshop

My shop is hosted on my website via One.com and the plugin WooCommerce. WooCommerce provide me with an online e-commerce platform that allows me to sell my products and services to you.

Your data is stored through One’s data storage, databases and the general WooCommerce application. For more insight, you may also want to read the One privacy policy.

The booking system Acuity Scheduling is integrated with my webshop. It allows me to book appointments with you and to receive payments via the payment system Stripe. Here you can read the Acuity Scheduling privacy policy.

You can read more about Stripe further down in this document.

WooCommerce

In my shop on my website, I collect information about you during the checkout process via the plugin WooCommerce. While you visit my shop, I will track:

– Shipping address: I’ll ask you to enter this so I can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order.
– I’ll also use cookies to keep track of basket contents while you’re browsing my site.

When you purchase from me, I’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. I’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

– Send you information about your account and order.
– Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints.
– Process payments and prevent fraud.
– Set up your account for my store.
– Comply with any legal obligations I have, such as calculating VAT.
– Improve my store offerings.
– Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them.

If you create an account, I will store your name, address and email, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

I generally store information about you for as long as I need the information for the purposes for which I collect and use it, and I are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, I will store order information for 7 years for accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.

Mailchimp

My newsletter is sent using the email client Mailchimp. If you have signed up to my newsletter, your name and email adress is stored through Mailchimp’s data storage, databases and the general Mailchimp application. You can unsubscribe at anytime by clicking on the link included in each email. For more information you may also want to read the Mailchimp terms of service.

Third-party services

In general, the third-party providers used by me will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to me. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information I am required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, I recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or me. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. Once you leave my website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this privacy policy or my website’s terms of service.

When you click on links on my website, they may direct you away from my site. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Payments

I accept payments through Stripe. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to Stripe, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information. Please see the Stripe privacy policy for more details.

Security

To protect your personal information, I take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide me with your credit card information via Stripe through my website shop or the booking system Acuity Scheduling, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL).

Changes to this privacy policy

I reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If I make material changes to this policy, I will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information I collect, how I use it, and under what circumstances, if any, I use and/or disclose it.

This privacy policy is subject to change without notice and was last updated on November 21, 2019.
