Where is your personal data stored?
We endeavour to process your personal data in the European Economic Area (EEA) and within our own IT systems as much as possible, although sometimes your data may need to be transferred and processed in a country outside the EEA (known as a “third country”). Such transfers are made only to recipient countries with an adequate level of protection and in accordance with current legislation. If your data is transferred to service partners in the US, this must be only to companies covered by the Privacy Shield, which is an agreement on the protection of personal data between the EU and the US.
Who has access to your data?
Your data is primarily used to enable Hejco to fulfil its commitments to you and to improve your experience with us.
In order for us to offer the services stated below and fulfil our commitments to you as a customer, we share your personal data with companies known as data processors. This is done only for the purposes for which we have collected the data, and only with companies that can provide adequate guarantees in terms of the security and privacy of the personal data.
We provide data and content to suppliers and service providers that support our business, such as by providing technical infrastructure services (e.g. e-commerce platforms, IT systems, and CRM and marketing systems), analysing how our products are used, delivering and distributing the products you have purchased, taking care of payments, or carrying out surveys. We never have and never will sell your data to third parties.
If the ownership of Hejco changes, we will transfer your data to the new owner.
How long do we store data?
We store data until it is no longer necessary for providing you with a good customer experience or to fulfil our commitments in accordance with agreements. The data we receive about you (including data on financial transactions in connection with purchases) is stored for the period that current legislation requires.

Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or mobile device which is retrieved during subsequent visits. By using our services, you also consent to the use of cookies.
How do we use cookies?
Hejco’s webshop uses cookies to manage the content of your shopping basket, for example. If you block cookies, you are unable to use our webshop as your basket will “forget” its content each time you load a new page. If you don’t want cookies to be saved but still want to shop with us, you can do this by opening an incognito window in your browser to make your purchase. Doing this deletes all cookies automatically when you close your browser. We also use cookies as a statistical basis, such as to identify which items the same visitors look at in order to provide automatic product recommendations.
In addition to cookies used for shopping baskets, session cookies are also used to remember your login to mina sidor (my pages) as well as for settings such as language, country, and whether you are a business or private customer. That way you won’t have to worry about making the same choices each time you visit Hejco on the web. Pop-ups on the site may also use cookies to ensure that you are shown the pop-up only once.
We use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads, which also place cookies for the purpose of providing a picture of how our visitors use our website. These types of cookies do not contain identifiable data.
Social media links such as “like” buttons on Facebook and LinkedIn read whether there are cookies that were placed on previous visits to these pages. The analytics service Hotjar places cookies to enable us to study the use of our website in order to optimise and improve the customer experience. The webshop also has a chat feature that saves cookies for analytics purposes and in order to provide you with personalised service. When you fill in a form or similar on one of Hejco’s websites or on social media, a cookie is placed on your device to provide you with a unique and personalised experience and to facilitate future communication. We also use third-party tracking cookies to show you relevant ads on Hejco’s products on other websites and in other channels.
What types of personal data do we process?
We combine your cookie code with the personal data we have collected about you only when such data has been collected in our systems, such as when you have subscribed to our newsletter or downloaded a catalogue.
Who can use your personal data?
Data is provided to third parties solely for the provision of the above services. We use an analytical tool to collect statistics in order to optimise our website and provide you with the right marketing material.
What is the legal basis for the processing of your personal data?
We only combine your cookie with your personal data.
If you are logged into your account or subscribe to our newsletters, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest.
How long will we keep your data?
Hejco does not store your personal data in your cookies. You can easily remove cookies from your computer or mobile device via your browser. You can find instructions on how to use and remove cookies from your browser under “Help”. You can turn off cookies or ask to be informed each time a new cookie is sent to your computer or mobile device.
Note: If you turn off cookies, you will be unable to take advantage of all features. For example, the addition of a product to a shopping basket in our webshop is technically dependent on the functionality of cookies.
Data collection services
What services are used to collect data?
Hejco uses a number of third-party data collection services to facilitate operations, communication, and marketing to ensure that our communications and content can be tailored to you. Below is a list of services that we use or that are connected to the hejco.se webshop. You can also read more about what data the services collect and store.
Google Ads
Google Ads is Google’s search marketing tool that we use to improve our web ads. When, for example, you search for Hejco on Google, you will see our ad which will take you to Hejco’s webshop when you click on it. In this example, your browser will install cookie information that follows your browser until you delete your browser’s cookie history. The data that this cookie uses will also be linked to the Google Analytics service that we use to track the results of various marketing initiatives. If you buy a product through this type of keyword search, Google Analytics will track this.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics measures and analyses activity on our websites hejco.se and shop.hejco.com, including purchases, pages visited, and behaviour. Google Analytics uses a cookie to track user activity. We use Google Analytics to improve the customer experience and measure the results of our marketing initiatives. These include search marketing campaigns, e-mail campaigns, and campaigns created for external web services such as Google Ads.
Facebook / Instagram / Youtube / Linkedin
We use social media to create relationships with existing customers and potential new customers. These initiatives include campaigns targeted at a specific group that we believe may be interested in what we have to offer. Each service uses its own tracking pixel installed in the source code of our webshop. The tracking pixel can be described as a small program that follows the user, such as from Facebook via a certain campaign to the people who then visit our website. This type of tracking helps us to better understand our customers and provide relevant content in each channel.
A similar tracking pixel is used to track the financial profitability of these social media marketing initiatives. In other words, this type of tracking pixel allows us to see how many customers have bought something and how many catalogues have been downloaded as a result of a current campaign.
Mailchimp
Mailchimp is a marketing tool and e-mail program that we use to send our newsletters, customer messages, and other customer-related e-mails/marketing and communication. Mailchimp stores a cookie in your browser for the clicks you make in the e-mails we send that are tracked.
In general, all the links in the e-mails we send contain such tracking. The data stored depends on the campaign but can include first name, surname, profession, phone number, e-mail address, the next time you’re planning to buy work clothes, the number of employees, and what’s important when choosing work clothes.
CRM
Creatio is a CRM system where we store data about our existing and potential customers, e.g. company name and contact details, as well as purchasing information. This information is used by our sales organisation, customer service team, and marketing department.
For an enhanced user experience
We’re constantly learning more about our customers thanks to the analytical tools mentioned above. Our objective is to always be relevant, so we want to provide you with what interests you on the basis of your business, profession, and behaviour. Using this information, we can customise your online shopping visits to provide the user experience you expect. A simple example is the use of this information to adapt the content of the website so that it is tailored to your industry; for instance, if you work in the care sector, you will see only relevant clothing in the webshop instead of having to browse clothing for several irrelevant sectors.
Collecting data is essential for our business and it is also something that you benefit from. The most important thing for us is that you trust us and know that we care about your privacy and security.
