6. Legitimate interest
When CNW Baits supports processing on the basis of legitimate interest, a balancing of interests is carried out. This means that the needs of the store are weighed against the privacy of the data subject.
Examples of legitimate interests may include:
- to be able to provide customer service
- to follow up on order and delivery problems
- to protect the store against fraud and abuse
- to handle complaints, disputes and legal claims
- to improve the website, product range and customer experience
- to communicate with existing customers about relevant products and services where permitted
You may object to processing based on legitimate interest. However, CNW Baits may continue the processing if there are compelling legitimate grounds or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or exercise of legal claims.
7. Consent and withdrawal
When processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
Examples of processing that may be based on consent:
- newsletter
- certain marketing cookies
- certain analytics cookies
- publication or use of submitted material where consent is used as a basis
You can withdraw consent through the unsubscribe link in mailings, cookie settings or by contacting CNW Baits.

9. Data processors
When a supplier processes personal data on behalf of CNW Bait, the supplier shall normally be a data processor. This means that the supplier may only process the data in accordance with instructions and for the purpose that is relevant to the service.
Some providers may be independent data controllers for their own processing, such as certain payment providers, carriers or authorities. Their own terms and conditions and privacy policies may then apply to their processing.
10. Transfer outside the EU/EEA
CNW Baits strives to use suppliers and solutions that process personal data within the EU/EEA. In some cases, personal data may be processed or made available outside the EU/EEA through, for example, IT, analytics, communications or marketing suppliers.
If personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, it must be done in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, for example through adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
More information can be provided upon request when relevant and possible.
11. How long is data stored?
CNW Baits stores personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose, to comply with legal requirements, to handle agreements, complaints, returns, disputes, accounting or to protect legitimate interests.
| Task/matter | Normal storage time |
|---|
| Order and purchase information | Saved as long as necessary for order processing, customer service, complaints, returns, accounting and legal claims. |
| Accounting information | Saved according to the requirements of the Accounting Act, normally 7 years after the calendar year in which the financial year ended. |
| Customer service issues | Saved as long as the case needs to be handled and then as long as it is needed for follow-up, dispute, complaint or legitimate interest. |
| Complaints, returns and disputes | Saved as long as the case requires it and thereafter as long as the information may be needed for legal claims, accounting or documentation. |
| Newsletter and marketing | Saved until you unsubscribe, revoke consent or until the data is no longer needed for the purpose. |

| Submitted material | Saved as long as the material is relevant for the purpose, publication, agreement, consent, marketing or documentation. |

Right to data portability

15. Cookies and similar technologies
CNWBAITS.SE uses cookies and similar technologies to make the website work, to manage shopping cart, checkout, security, language, sessions, statistics and in some cases marketing.
Some cookies are necessary for the store to function. Other cookies are only used if there is a legal basis, such as consent where required.

16. Submitted photos, catch reports and social media
If you submit images, videos, text, catch reports or other material to CNW Baits, we process the personal data included in the material and communication.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to submit the material and that people who are clearly visible in the material have approved that the material is submitted and can be used according to the applicable terms.
CNW Baits may process such material to:
- review the material
- reply to messages
- administer catch reports
- publish material on website or social media
- use material in marketing if there is a legal basis and conditions for this
Publication is never guaranteed. CNW Baits determines if, when, and how submitted material is used.
17. Security
CNW Baits works to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration and unauthorized dissemination.
Security measures may include access control, password protection, technical security, vendor control, logging, backup and incident management procedures.
No digital processing is completely risk-free. The customer should therefore avoid sending sensitive data unnecessarily and contact CNW Baits if anything seems wrong.
18. Personal data incidents
If CNW Baits discovers a personal data breach, it will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. This may involve internal investigation, measures to limit damage, documentation, contact with the supplier and in some cases notification to a supervisory authority or information to affected individuals.
19. Complaints to supervisory authority
You have the right to file a complaint with the Swedish Data Protection Authority, IMY, if you believe that CNW Baits is processing your personal data in violation of data protection regulations.
We recommend that you first contact CNW Baits so that we can review the issue and attempt to correct any issues.
20. Changes to this policy
CNW Baits may update this privacy policy as necessary, for example in the event of changed systems, suppliers, working methods, legal requirements or business processes.
The latest version is published on CNWBAITS.SE. In the event of major changes, information can be provided in an appropriate manner, for example via the website or email when relevant.
21. Priority and limitations
This policy is intended to provide information about the processing of personal data. It does not imply that CNW Baits waives any rights, objections, storage obligations, contractual rights or legal claims.
If a request for erasure, restriction, objection or other right conflicts with accounting, claims, disputes, legal obligations, security or other legitimate interests, CNW Baits may need to continue processing certain data to the extent permitted by law.
The bottom line: we must protect the customer's personal data, but also be able to run the store, comply with the law, handle purchases, protect ourselves against abuse and defend legal claims.
