You may directly or indirectly provide us with information about yourself in a number of different ways. For example, when you, visit Animalist’s website or are in contact with Animalist in some other way, such as via a contact form. Examples of personal data:

Why do we need your data?

The main purpose of the data processing undertaken by Animalist is to provide, carry out and improve our services to you. There are several different reasons why we may need to collect, manage and save your data. On other occasions we will need to save your personal data in order to fulfill our contracts, deliver what we have promised to you, or to be able to offer you the best and most appropriate services.

Animalist processes personal data for the following purposes based on the following lawful basis:

For customer group and marketing analysis to improve our services to you	Other legitimate interests
For mailings of offers and marketing	Other legitimate interests

What is a ‘legitimate interest’?

When we use the lawful basis ‘legitimate interest’, it means that the processing is required in order to satisfy our legitimate interest. For example, to be able to offer you artwork-related products and services. Another legitimate interest is keeping our services as user-friendly and relevant as possible for you. It means we need to analyze how the services are used to enable us to make improvements for you as a customer. For the lawful basis ‘legitimate interest’, we always consider the balance between Animalist’s interest in processing personal data and the individual’s interest in protecting their personal data.

Who might we share your personal data with?

Animalist does not sell your personal data to other organizations, and naturally we do not share your personal data with anyone. However, in some cases we may need to share your personal data with selected third parties. If we do this, we make sure that the transfer happens in a secure way that protects your privacy. The follow list are categories of recipients with whom we may share your data.

• Business system: We use a ecommerce platform in order to carry out our assignments and services, we store your data in our business system (including managing our customers and contacts)

• We share details about you with suppliers that provide the artwork och distribute the product to you
  
  

Where do process your personal data?

Animalist and our suppliers generally process your personal data within the EU/EEA. In cases where personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we ensure that our suppliers comply with the same level of security and protection that is applied in the EU/EEA.

How long do we store your personal data?

Animalist stores personal data for the period of time required for the purposes specified above. It could be for as long as is necessary to be able to complete the assignment agreed with you, according to our contracts or other commitments. It could also be for as long as is required by law or decisions by public authorities. Animalist regularly sorts through registered personal data.

Your rights

Irrespective of the information we have stored about you, you will always have control over your own data. That is why according to the relevant data protection legislation you have access to the following rights.

• Right of access - You can request a copy of the personal data registered with us and verify the data we have about you

• Right to rectification - You are entitled to have inaccurate or incomplete data about you rectified

• Right to be forgotten - You have the right to request that your personal data be deleted if the data is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected. However, if the data is being stored because of a legal obligation to store certain information, you are not entitled to request that such information is deleted

• Right to data portability - If our right to process your personal data is based on consent from you, or in order to fulfil a contract with you, you are entitled to request a copy of such data in a machine-readable format in order to reuse it with another company. This primarily applies to data that you yourself have given us. In other words, only certain data is covered by the right to data portability

• Right to object - You always have the right to request not to receive direct marketing, and to object to such processing of personal data based on a balancing of interests (legitimate interest)

  • In cases where we use a legitimate interest/balancing of interests as a lawful basis for a purpose, you have the opportunity to object to the processing. In order to continue processing your personal data following such an objection, we need to be able to show a compelling legitimate reason for the processing in question, which overrides your interests, rights or freedoms

  • If you object to direct marketing, we will cease processing your personal data for that purpose

• Right to restriction of processing

  • You have the right to restrict processing of your personal data if, for example, you consider it to be inaccurate

Remember that you have a say in which channels we use to contact you. For example, you may decide you do not want to be contacted via e-mail. You can also opt out of various types of mailing, such as newsletters. In such cases, you should not object to processing of the data, but instead just contact us and request a restriction to the communication channels we use.

Exercising your rights does not cost anything. However, if a request is clearly unfounded or unreasonable, we will charge a fee to cover any administrative expenses associated with the request. We may also turn down a request that is unfounded or unreasonable.

Contact hello@animalist.art if you have any questions, or wants to make a request regarding your rights.
