Privacy Policy

We respect your private life and your right to control your personal data. Our basic guidelines are simple. We make it clear what data we will collect and why we do it. We do everything in our power to protect your personal data. We do not sell - and will never sell - your personal data to third parties.

Our Privacy Policy ("the Policy") explains what personal data we collect from you - either directly or indirectly - and how we use this information.

It applies to all OLE LYNGGAARD COPENHAGEN (OLC) products and also to our OLC apps, ("OLC app" or "the app"). In addition, it applies to all of the web shops that OLC manages, as well as other offline interactions, such as visits to an OLC store or participation in an OLC event (collectively referred to as "the services"). We ask you to read this Privacy Policy to see how OLC can collect, use and share your personal data. The terms "we", "us" or "OLC" are each intended to refer to OLC.

6. SECURITY, STORAGE AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA WE HAVE COLLECTED

6.1. Security

OLC takes the protection and security of your personal information extremely seriously. Although we make significant efforts to protect your personal data that we have collected, no security system is impregnable.

We use a number of technical and organisational measures and industry standards to protect your personal data and to help protect your personal data against loss, theft, abuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. For example, we store the personal data you provide in computer systems with restricted access and in controlled environments. In addition, we ensure that our third-party data centre providers implement appropriate and sufficient security measures. In addition, your personal data is protected with encryption, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS), during its transfer via the internet. Furthermore, your password is saved via a one-way hash, which means that it cannot be recreated, (or disclosed) by anyone, including OLC. (It can only be reset).

You can only access your OLC account information and our service by using an individual user login and password. To protect your personal data, keep your password confidential and do not disclose it to anyone else. Please notify us immediately if you think your password has been compromised. In addition, you should always log out and close your browser when you finish your session. Please note that we will never ask you to provide your password.

If you have any questions about the security and protection of your personal data, feel free to contact us at privacy@olelynggaard.com.

6.2. Data storage

Personal data collected by OLC may be stored and processed in your region or in another country in which OLC or its affiliated companies, subsidiaries or service providers are located or have facilities. OLC has implemented appropriate mechanisms to protect personal data when these are transferred internationally, for example through our use of the standard contract clauses approved by the EU Commission.

6.3. Data retention

OLC keeps your personal information for as long as we deem it necessary in order to enable you to use the website and your OLC product, and to provide services to you in order to comply with applicable laws (including those relating to the retention of documents), to resolve disputes between parties and otherwise as necessary to enable us to operate our business. All types of personal data we collect will be governed by this Privacy Policy and our guidelines concerning internal retention. If you have any questions about a set retention period for specific personal data about you that we process, please send us an email. privacy@olelynggaard.com.

8. HOW WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, web beacons and other identifiers to help us personalise our web page for you, remember your preferences, understand how users use our web page or app, and help customise our marketing offers.

8.1. Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that contains a number of features sent to your computer when you visit a site. When you visit the same site again, the cookie allows the site to recognise your browser. The length of time a cookie stays on your computer or on your mobile device depends on whether it is a long-term cookie or a session cookie. OLC uses both types of cookies. Session cookies will stay on your device only until you finish your internet browsing. Long-term cookies remain on your computer or on your mobile device until they expire or are deleted. We use the following types of cookies on our website.

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for surfing our website and using its functions. Without these cookies, services such as shopping carts cannot be provided when shopping.
  • Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our web pages. This data can be used to improve and optimise our website and make it more user-friendly for you.
  • Functionality cookies: These cookies allow our web pages to remember the choices you made during your search on the web. We can save your geographic location in a cookie to ensure that we show you the web pages that are relevant to your area.
  • Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are cookies placed by web pages and/or by non-OLC parties. These cookies can be used on our website to improve our products or services, or to help us deliver more relevant advertising. These cookies are subject to the respective Privacy Policy that these external services have, e.g. Facebook’s Privacy Policy.

Analysis cookies. We use analytical cookies, such as those provided by Google Analytics, to help us understand things such as how long a visitor stays on our web pages, what pages they find most useful, and how they came to OLC.com. To learn more about Google Analytics and your data, visit this Google web page.

8.2. How to control your settings for cookies

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. However, if you limit the website's ability to place cookies, your overall user experience may be impaired. Some browsers provide Do Not Track (DNT) signals by which you can notify your preferences regarding tracking your internet activity and cross-site tracking. Although we currently do not use technologies that recognise DNT signals, we will only process your personal data in accordance with our current Privacy Policy. You can learn more below about how to control cookie settings on popular web browsers:

Google Chrome
Internet Explorer
Safari
Firefox

8.3. Pixels

In addition to cookies, we occasionally use small graphic images known as pixels (also known as web beacons, clear GIFs, or pixel tags). We use pixels in our e-mail communication to you (if you have chosen to receive such communication) to help us know if our e-mail communication has been read. In addition, we use pixels from third parties (such as from Google, Facebook, and other advertising networks) to help us deliver ads that are relevant to you.

8.4. Other identifiers

When you use our app, we collect a unique identifier for tracking ads from your device (the advertising identifier or IDFA on iOS devices) so we can learn more about users of our app and provide the most relevant messages and marketing. Although these identifiers are unique to your device, they do not contain any of your personal information, such as your name or e-mail address.

8.5. How to control your settings for identifiers

You can control how these identifiers are used, including the ability to reset them through the settings on your device. You can learn more below about how to control cookie settings on popular web browsers: Apple iOS

8.6. Advertising and modern marketing tools

OLC collaborates with third party advertisers who use cookies and similar technologies in order to provide more relevant OLC products and services on our web pages and on the internet. In order to deliver this interest-based advertising, these parties can combine non-personal data about your online activities that they have collected over time, which helps to customise the advertisements we deliver to you. Examples of this can include displaying an OLC ad on a Facebook page, on a page owned by Google, such as a search results page or on YouTube, or on a page in Google’s advertising network. We do not share your personal information as part of this process. When necessary, we obtain your consent to this process. You can opt out of receiving custom ads from third party advertisers and ad networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or that adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance's Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising by visiting the pages with opt-outs on NAI websites and DAA websites. Choosing to opt out may make the ads you see on the web less relevant to you.

If you have opted out of receiving messages from us by e-mail, we will not use your e-mail for interest-based advertising.
