Privacy Policy
SOHNNE, hereinafter referred to as “SOHNNE”, “us” or “we”, are committed to protecting your privacy. Our goal is to provide you with a positive experience on our website www.sohnne.com, while at the same time keeping your Personal Information secure.
Information Covered by This Privacy Policy
Personal Information. This means any information that can be used to identify a specific natural person directly or indirectly, either in isolation or in combination with other information. Some examples of Personal Information include a name, address, email address, phone number, any ID number, or location data.
Aggregated Information. Information may be aggregated and/or anonymized. When information is aggregated, it is combined with information about other customers and users. Aggregated information that includes Personal Information is considered Personal Information until it has been anonymized.
Anonymized Information. When information is anonymized, the information can no longer be attributed to a specific natural person without the use of additional information, for example, how many users viewed a particular website video or advertisement, such information cannot be used to identify you. In general, usage data collected when you visit the Website is both aggregated and anonymized so it does not identify you personally and therefore is not Personal Information.
Children’s Personal Information. The Website is not directed to, nor does SOHNNE knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 16 (Sixteen), or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction. If we are informed that we have collected the Personal Information of a child under the age of 16, we will delete that Personal Information from our systems. If you believe we might have inadvertently collected Personal Information from or about a child under the age of 16, please contact us at [email protected].

We also use your Personal Information to protect our business (for example, against fraud), or to comply with legal requirements to which we are subject (for example, tax or financial reporting requirements).
Sharing Information
Under no circumstances do we rent or sell your Personal Information to third
parties for marketing purposes. We only share your Personal Information with

The payment processor is authorized to use this information only to authenticate your purchase and for no other purpose.

Marketing
You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Information for marketing purposes. We will inform you (before collecting your Personal Information) if we intend to use your Personal Information for marketing purposes, or if we intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third party for marketing purposes.
We will always give you choices about your Personal Information. Some choices are presented up front in the form of opt-in notices or acceptance boxes for marketing to you or sharing your Personal Information with third parties. You always have the choice to opt out if you later change your mind. One form of opt-out is clicking the Unsubscribe link in a marketing email. This will take you off our marketing email list. Please note that these opt-in/opt-out choices do not apply to the receipt of mandatory website, service, or software communications, such as update or downtime information, or receipt of order or shipping confirmations on SOHNNE website stores, which you may receive periodically as part of SOHNNE performing its contract with you unless you cancel your service or order or terminate use of the software by the applicable terms of use or license agreement.
If you do not wish to receive direct marketing material from us or a third party, in addition to following the “Unsubscribe” instructions in a marketing email, you can send us an email request at [email protected].
Where We Store Your Information
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at,
various locations globally, including the United States. It may also be
processed by SOHNNE staff or contractors operating outside your country of
residence (including, if you are in Europe, outside of the EEA) who work for
us or one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things,
the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details, and the
provision of support services. We also use cloud-based applications and
services to store and process your Personal Information, which may result in
your Personal Information being stored outside your country of
residence.
We will take such steps as are reasonable to make sure we and our service
providers do not breach the privacy principles that govern our collection of
your Personal Information and that your Personal Information is treated
securely and by this privacy policy as well as applicable data protection
laws. By providing your Personal Information to us, you fully understand that
SOHNNE will transfer, process, and store Personal Information outside of the
country where you reside or are a citizen.
Our Privacy Policy and our practices are designed to provide a globally
consistent level of protection for Personal Information all over the world.
This means we will still handle your information in the manner described in
this Privacy Policy and in conformity with all applicable laws. This includes,
where relevant, entering into EU standard contractual clauses (or equivalent
measures) with the party outside the EEA available here
Accessing and Updating Your Personal Information
We need your help in keeping your Personal Information accurate and up to date, so please notify us of any changes to your Personal Information. You can access and update your Personal Information and communication preferences at any time in the following ways:
- By clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in any email you receive from us;
- By sending an email to [email protected]. Please be sure to include your name, email address, and specific relevant information about the information you would like to change or the material that you no longer wish to receive; or

- Delete your Personal Information, unless we are required to retain it by law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;

- Withdraw your consent to our processing of your Personal Information at any time after you have consented, including opting out of receiving marketing materials. The easiest way to do this is by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in any email you receive from us;
- Restrict our processing of your Personal Information where you believe such data to be inaccurate, our processing is unlawful, or that we no longer need to process such data for a particular purpose (unless we are not able to delete the data due to a legal or other obligation or because you do not wish for us to delete it);
- Object to such processing on grounds relating to your particular situation, where the legal justification for our processing of your Personal Information is our legitimate interest. We will abide by your request unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests and rights, or if we need to continue to process the data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Retention of Personal Information
We will only retain your Personal Information to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as required for legitimate business purposes as described in this Privacy Policy, or otherwise permitted by law. When we no longer need to use Personal Information, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Security
We strive to maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information collected by the Website. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not 100% secure.
It is important to note that if you use a computer or device that can be accessed by others, other people may be able to access unencrypted Personal Information. If you do not want your information to be available to others, exercise caution when using public computers or devices or when using any computer or device to which users unauthorized by you may have access.
We recommend that you take every precaution in protecting your Personal Information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser. You should also be aware that names that you give your Wi-Fi-enabled devices, home networks, and services (also known as “friendly names”) may be detectable by others outside your home, so you should not use Personal Information as part of your friendly names.
