Privacy policy

Last updated: August 1, 2025

Strömsskär operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, in order to provide you with a customized shopping experience (the “Services”). Strömsskär is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal data when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction through the Services, or otherwise communicate with us. If there is any conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy will prevail with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal data.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how your data is collected, used, and disclosed as described herein.

Personal Data We Collect or Process
When we use the term “personal data,” we mean information that identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to you or another individual. Personal data does not include anonymous information or data that has been de-identified so that it cannot reasonably identify you. Depending on how you interact with the Services, where you live, and as permitted or required under applicable law, we may collect or process the following categories of personal data, including inferences drawn from such data:

  • Contact information including name, address, billing and shipping address, phone number, and email address.

  • Financial information including credit card numbers, debit card numbers, account information, payment methods, payment confirmations, and other transaction-related details.

  • Account information including username, password, security questions, preferences, and settings.

  • Transaction information including items you view, add to your cart or wishlist, purchase, return, exchange, or cancel, as well as your order history.

  • Communications with us including any information you provide when contacting our customer support team.

  • Device information including details about your device, browser, or network connection, IP address, and other unique identifiers.

  • Marketing and advertising (e.g., sending promotional messages via email, SMS, or post, showing you targeted ads).

  • Security and fraud prevention (e.g., verifying accounts, ensuring safe transactions, preventing illegal or fraudulent activity).

  • Communication (e.g., customer support, responding to inquiries, maintaining our business relationship).

  • Legal compliance (e.g., responding to legal requests, enforcing policies, participating in legal proceedings).

Disclosure of Personal Data
We may share your personal data in circumstances including but not limited to:

  • With Shopify, service providers, and other third parties (IT, payment, logistics, analytics, customer support, cloud storage, shipping).

Relationship with Shopify
The Services are powered by Shopify, which collects and processes personal data regarding your access to and use of the Services in order to operate and improve them. Information you provide through the Services may be transferred to and shared with Shopify and third parties, potentially located outside your country of residence. Shopify may also use personal data from your interactions with our store and other merchants to provide enhanced features. In these cases, Shopify is responsible for handling your personal data, including responding to your data rights requests. For details, please review Shopify’s Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Websites and Links
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy or security practices. Please review their policies carefully. Information you share on public or semi-public platforms (including social media) may be visible to others.

Children’s Data
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data from individuals under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If a child has provided us with data, parents/guardians may request its deletion. As of the effective date of this policy, we do not “sell” or “share” personal data of individuals under 16 years old, as defined by applicable law.

Security and Data Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security. How long we store your personal data depends on business, legal, and operational needs (e.g., to maintain your account, process transactions, comply with laws).

  • Access to your personal data.

  • Request deletion.
