Stakeholder privacy policy

Updated November 3, 2021

We at Fiskars Group are committed to protecting the privacy of our stakeholders’ personal data. This Privacy Policy informs you how Fiskars Group (“we”) process your personal data. For the purposes of this Policy, we are the controller. This Privacy Policy concerns all Fiskars websites, products and services which collect personal data or which are linked to this Privacy Policy or on which this Privacy Policy is visible.

In this Privacy Policy we explain the purposes of collection and use of your personal data as well as how we have ensured that you have adequate control over your own personal data.

We recommend that you read this Privacy Policy carefully as it provides important information about the personal data that we collect.

If you have registered an account with us, please remember to update your information if any changes occur.
Should you have any questions, requests or concerns, you can at any time contact us at Consumer service

Your data is stored as long as it is necessary for the purposes of processing it, including: as long as there is a valid contract or consent between you or your company and Fiskars (unless your employment at the company ends, in which case we may delete your data as soon as we receive information on your departure and the processing of your data is no longer necessary); or we otherwise have a meaningful business relationship or business prospects with your company; the applicable period for limitation of legal claims; and any additional periods required or permitted under applicable law.

4. In what situations is your personal data disclosed to other parties?

We do not disclose or transfer your personal data to third parties except to approved processors and third parties. We do not sell, lease or rent your personal data. Your personal data are adequately protected if transferred internationally.

We disclose your personal data only to the parties indicated below and only for the following reasons:

Affiliates and third party processors. We may disclose your personal data to Fiskars Group companies and authorized third party vendors which process the data for us. All such processing is based on our prior instructions set out in a binding contract that is compliant with the requirements of applicable law and is conducted in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These authorized third parties are not permitted to use your personal data for any purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and they are required to keep your personal data strictly confidential.

International transfers. Our services may be provided using resources and servers located in various countries, partly outside of the EU/EEA. Therefore, your personal data may be transferred across international borders outside the country in which you use our services. If personal data of residents of the EU/EEA is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we will ensure that transfer is based on at least one of the transfer principles and bases provided for in Chapter V, GDPR.

Requests based on legislation and protection of our interests. We may be required by the binding requirements of applicable law, or for the purposes of responding to legal proceedings or other lawful requests, to disclose your personal data to authorities or third parties. We may also disclose or otherwise process your personal data in accordance with applicable law to defend our legitimate interests (for example, in civil or criminal legal proceedings) and when combating fraud. We may also provide your personal data to law enforcement authorities based on their request.

Mergers and acquisitions. In the event of any sale, consolidation or reorganization of our businesses (for example mergers and acquisitions), we may disclose your personal data to prospective or actual purchasers or their advisers, where appropriate.

5. On what lawful basis do we process your data?

We collect your personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases:

• we have a legal obligation which obliges us to process your personal data;
• we have a legitimate interest in carrying out the processing for the purpose of managing, operating or promoting our business, and that legitimate interest is not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms (“legitimate interests”);
• where you have given your consent to processing of your personal data; or
• the processing is necessary in connection with any contract between Fiskars and you (“contractual necessity”).

6. Do we process the personal data of children?

We do not seek to collect personal data of children. We only enter into contracts with stakeholders who are over 18 years old.

7. How do we protect your data?

We have implemented a variety of appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized access, and other unlawful or unauthorized forms of processing. The safeguards include, for example, firewall protection of our systems and storing physical documents in locked and fireproof premises. Further, databases and their backup copies can be accessed only by certain pre-designated persons. All persons processing personal data will need to have an individual accreditation. Only our specifically-authorized personnel or authorized third parties are entitled to access our premises or process data. Anyone who is granted access to your personal data is required to keep such data confidential. Different levels of access have been created based on the type of data a person needs to access or process according to his/her job description.

8. What are your rights and options and how can you use them?

We hope to ensure that the personal data we process are accurate at all times and therefore we encourage you to update your information in your own account when any changes occur.

10. Local Terms

A. Notice for California Residents
Fiskars, and each of its separately branded businesses, provides the information contained in this Section 10 to California Consumers to supplement the above notice of Fiskars’ privacy practices, which applies to you to the extent relevant to your use of our services. This section 10.A. only applies to individuals residing in the State of California who are considered “Consumers” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and from whom we collect “Personal Information” as described in the CCPA.

Sales of Personal Information

As noted in section 4 above, we do not sell consumer personal information as the term is traditionally understood. The CCPA, however, defines personal information broadly so that it could include targeted advertising. So, to the extent selling under the CCPA includes targeted advertising, the following categories of personal information were sold within the last twelve (12) months:

Online identifiers associated with a device use to interact with our digital properties or advertisements (such as device ID, cookies, beacons, pixel tags, mobile ad identifiers, or similar technologies) Internet and other electronic network activity information associated with a device used to interact with digital properties or advertisements

California residents may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

All verifiable consumer requests must:

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. Such additional information shall not be used for any other purpose and will be removed after successful identification.

If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

Fiskars will not discriminate against you because you exercise your rights. For example, Fiskars will not deny you goods or services or charge you a different price or rate for goods or services if you make a request relating to your personal information.
