Privacy Policy

1. Our Philosophy on Data

At L'archè Studios AB, we treat your personal data with the same care and precision we apply to the stitching of our handmade sneakers. We believe in "Slow Data"—collecting only what is necessary, protecting it with rigor, and never selling it to third parties. We are the Data Controller for all information collected through this store.

2. The Information We Collect

To provide you with a premium shopping experience, we collect:

  • Identity & Contact Data: Name, shipping address, and your L'archè account details.

  • Transaction Data: Details about payments and the specific citywear pieces you’ve purchased. (Note: We never see or store your full credit card digits; these are handled by our secure, PCI-compliant payment processors).

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device information used to optimize our Wix Studio interface for your viewing.

  • Communication Data: Your preferences for receiving our updates on new sustainable collections.

3. How and Why We Use Your Data (Legal Basis)

We only process your data when we have a legal reason to do so:

  • Contractual Necessity: To ship your handmade sneakers to your door.

  • Legal Obligation: To comply with Swedish tax and accounting laws (Bokföringslag).

  • Legitimate Interest: To improve our website’s performance and security.

  • Consent: When you explicitly sign up for our "Citywear Insights" newsletter.

4. Data Retention: The Principle of Longevity

In line with our sustainable values, we do not hoard data. We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements (typically 7 years for financial records under Swedish law).

5. International Transfers & Third Parties

We use trusted partners to run our store (e.g., Google Workspace for communication, Wix for hosting). Some of these partners may process data outside the EU/EEA. In these cases, we ensure Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent protections are in place to maintain the highest level of security.

6. Your "Slow Fashion" Rights (Your GDPR Rights)

As a citizen of the digital world, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.

  • Rectification: Correct any inaccurate information.

  • Erasure (The Right to be Forgotten): Request that we delete your data.

  • Portability: Request a transfer of your data to another service.

  • Object: Opt-out of any marketing at any time.

7. Security Measures

We employ industry-leading encryption and security protocols to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. Access to your data is strictly limited to those employees and partners who have a genuine business need to know.
