Privacy Policy
For Gimmersta Wallpaper AB, transparency is key. Both in how we work and in how we handle the information we gather about our visitors. In this text, we explain how and why we handle personal data about you, whether you are an employee, a customer, a user of our website, a contact person, or otherwise a person whose personal data we process, as well as your rights and our obligations towards you. Your experience and safety are important to us.
We process a range of different personal data within the scope of our operations in order to be able to run our business, administer and fulfil obligations according to business relationships and to be able to meet requirements according to current legislation.

We may also process your personal data due to (iii) our ‘legitimate interest to do so or (iv) due to your explicit consent.
This policy may change as data protection regulation develops, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC, GDPR.
