The information includes for example e-mail receipt and read confirmations, the date and time of your visit to our website and other information that we have received from you (including automatically transferred or generated information).
Website analytics: Our site uses web analytics services to gather analytical data and reports on our visitors’ use of our website, so that we can improve our site, offerings and services.
Cookies and other tracking technologies: On our site, we make use of various tracking technologies such as cookies, pixels and web beacons. Some are necessary for the performance of the webpage, while others are used for marketing purposes. We may also make use of a number of web partners who help to make our product offerings and the website more interesting for you. For a more detailed description on this, please see our Cookie Policy https://tove.jansson.com/cookie-policy. To the extent you have given your consent to the use of other than essential cookies, we use such to give you the best online experience, to make our offerings more user-friendly, to optimize our advertising and online offerings, to send you on-site and re-targeted marketing (including social media marketing and advertising on the websites of our partners), to adapt our offerings to your wishes and to make surfing on our website as comfortable as possible for you.

Use of third-party marketing and analytics services
We use third-party marketing services to market our products to you, and analytics to improve our site, offerings and services. In connection to such third-party marketing services, third parties may gather information from our website and use it to send you targeted ads. For example, we use Facebook Custom Audiences to deliver advertisements to people who have visited our websites. We also use Google Ads for delivering targeted advertisements and Google Analytics for carrying out analytics on our site.

Joint controllership
In connection to our Facebook page, Facebook Ireland Ltd. (“Facebook”) and All Things Commerce (or a local group company, as applicable) are joint controllers with regard to the personal data of visitors of the page in question, where applicable.
Facebook is also the joint controller for certain processing carried out while we use other business tools offered by Facebook, such as Custom Audiences tools. The joint controllership extends to the collection of personal data via the Facebook business tools and its subsequent transmission to Facebook in order to be used for the purposes of creating custom audiences to target ad campaigns, to deliver commercial and transactional messages and to improve ad targeting and delivery optimization of our ad campaigns. Facebook is an independent controller for any processing of such data that takes place after it has been transmitted to Facebook.
Facebook processes personal information in accordance with its own privacy policies. You can find more information on how Facebook processes your personal data, including the legal basis Facebook relies on and the ways to exercise data subject rights against Facebook, in Facebook’s own data policy which you can find here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. Facebook is primarily responsible for complying with the obligations of data protection law and enabling data subject rights on its service, while All Things Commerce is responsible for complying with data protection obligations for its own part, e.g. for handling the data of visitors on its Facebook page in accordance with the processes and purposes set out in this policy.
More information on the processing Facebook carries out as well as about the division of responsibilities between Facebook and All Things Commerce as joint controllers can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
Source of the data
Most of the personal data we process comes directly from you and is data which you choose to provide to us, for example in connection to an inquiry, or while signing up to the Moomin Fan Club. Data can also be obtained through other service providers, if possible and in accordance with applicable regulations. If you have given your consent to such, we may also collect automatically generated data through the use of cookies and other tracking technologies on our website.

In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us (if relevant, we will notify you thereof separately).
With whom we share your personal data
We will not sell, share or rent your personal data to any other entity for any reason. However, we may need to disclose your personal data to third parties in the following situations:
Other group companies: We may share data with group companies and other associated companies or organizations where we consider that this is reasonably necessary for any of the legitimate purposes set out in this policy.

Such service providers include for example providers of third-party newsletter services, credit card processing and package delivery vendors, and vendors that assist us with our marketing campaigns. In such cases, we provide only the information necessary for the performance of those specific functions.
Third parties for legal reasons: We reserve the right to transfer the information provided by you to the authorities if deemed necessary in order (i) to comply with applicable laws, regulations or a court decision; (ii) to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing, or technical or data security problems; or (iii) to ensure the safety and protect the assets of Moomin Characters Ltd or its customers, or for the purposes of public interest in accordance with the law.

How we process and protect your personal data
We will only process personal data for the purposes for which it was collected and as set out above, and personal data will only be available to authorized employees holding a position that requires them to process the data to perform their work.
We are committed to process your personal data in a manner that ensures an appropriate level of security. Therefore, we use technical, administrative and organizational security measures to prevent unlawful or unauthorized processing of your personal data and accidental loss of or damage to the data. For example, the use of personal data is protected by appropriate user-specific credentials, passwords and access rights.

Your personal data will be retained only for so long as necessary for the particular purposes set forth in this policy and in accordance with applicable laws, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal requirements.

We primarily process your personal data on servers within the EU/EEA and the UK. However, we may need to transfer your information to a location outside the EU/EEA and the UK. The level of data protection in countries outside the EU/EEA or outside the UK may be lower than that offered within the EEA or the UK, and where this is the case, we will implement appropriate measures under applicable data protection legislation to ensure an adequate level of data protection for your personal data through our contractual practices (for example by entering into the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses on transferring personal data to third countries, which may be found here) or other measures.

We will also give you the opportunity to opt out of future marketing whenever we send you marketing, and you can also opt out at any time by contacting us through the contact details set forth below. Please note that if you object to or opt out from receiving marketing from us, we may retain certain limited personal data about you (for example name and contact details) to ensure that we comply with your request also in the future.
Right to erasure: You may also request that your personal data be erased if, for example, the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, the processing is unlawful, or the personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal requirement.
Right to restrict processing: In specific situations set forth in applicable data protection law, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data is restricted. This concerns for example when you have contested the accuracy of the data and we are verifying it, or when we no longer need the data for the purposes set forth in this policy but the data are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted as described above, we will process the personal data subject to the restriction only (in addition to storage) with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest.

Right to withdraw your consent: In cases where the processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to such processing at any time. Please note that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to such withdrawal, and that even after the withdrawal we might be entitled to continue processing your personal data if other legal grounds apply.
Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority: If you wish to file a complaint with a national supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data, you may do so by contacting your local data protection authority.
