Privacy Policy
General
The privacy policy applies to all use of our website and to all personal data registered via our websites and in our stores. We take our obligations regarding your privacy and the processing and transfer of your personal data very seriously. We have therefore taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the transfer and storage of data is secure. We ask you to read our privacy policy carefully because it states how and for what purposes we collect personal data. By providing personal data to us, you consent to the processing and transfer of personal data as described in this privacy policy. Folkstorys is the controller with regard to these processing operations.
Registration of personal data
Folkstorys records your data when you purchase products or services from us. Even if you use one of our free services on the website , it will be stored. Your personal data is stored in a central, electronic customer database of Folkstorys.

We may request and/or register the following information from you;
● gender, first name, last name, street name, house number, zip code, place of residence, telephone number, e-mail address. Our servers may automatically record certain information, such as URL, IP address, browser type and language, and the date and time of your visit to our websites, including through the use of cookies.
Who has access to your data?
We may pass on your data to other parties. We only do this if it is really necessary for our services. It may then be one or more of these parties:
- Delivery partners
- Service partners
- Suppliers
- Payment partners
- IT service providers
After all, our delivery and service partner must come to your home to deliver, assemble or service your product.
Our supplier receives a reference to your purchase, and in some cases our supplier also visits your home.

Our IT service providers provide services such as cloud storage, media and advertising services, maintenance of our website and processing of reviews.
> We collects personal data from users to draw conclusions about personal preferences of the user and to personalize the internet experience with, for example, offers and displays during or after visiting the advertiser's website or on third-party websites. More information about the technologies is available in the cookie policy. Here is an opt-out button that allows end users to prevent their personal data from being processed by us. We are jointly responsible for the collection of personal data according to Art. 26 of the GDPR.
If required by law, we will share your customer data with government agencies.
Use of personal data
The basis for the use of your personal data is your consent. In the case of an assignment given to us and/or an agreement concluded with us, the basis for the use of your personal data is the necessity for the correct execution of that assignment and/or agreement.
For existing customers, the basis is our interest in making our customers offers and keeping them informed about our comparable products and services.
Your personal data is used by Folkstorys for the following purposes:
1. To carry out an order,
2. To inform you about the status of your order,
3. To measure customer satisfaction,
4. To answer questions you have asked,
5. To improve our services and adapt it to your wishes. In this context, we may also use your personal data for profiling purposes.
6. To inform you about current and future activities and offers, whether by post, telephone or e-mail.
7. For sending newsletters, both electronically and by post.
8. In addition, your data will be used anonymously in management information and analyses. With the results of this we are better able to further increase customer satisfaction and we can further improve our services, products and website.
9. Folkstorys will not make your data available to third parties, unless this is necessary for the correct execution of the assignment and/or unless there is a legal obligation to do so.
10. We would like to keep you informed about (new) products that are relevant to you or others. Therefore, we may share your personal data with service providers we trust who help us process and analyze your personal data. So that we can select products that may be of interest to you. But also to avoid introducing products to you that you probably don't appreciate. If you no longer wish to receive (digital) letters and/or newsletters, no longer wish to be contacted by telephone or no longer wish to receive any marketing communication, you can indicate this at any time via the e-mail address: support@folkstorys.com
Retention period of personal data
We store personal data that we process with your consent for one year.
We store personal data that we receive from you in the context of a quotation for 2 years.
We store personal data that we process in the context of an assignment granted to us and/or an agreement concluded with us until the service or warranty period has expired.
View and change your data
You can request Folkstorys to:
● inspection, adjustment or deletion of the personal data that Folkstorys collects about you.
● limitation of the processing of the personal data that Folkstorys collects about you.
● transfer of the personal data that Folkstorys collects about you.
You can submit your request by sending an e-mail to support@folkstorys.com. In order to process your request, we ask you for the following information:
- Full name
- Postal code
- House number
- Your request and/or question
We are happy to explain why we need this information.
We would like to ask you to state your full name, zip code and house number in the e-mail. Correct spelling of your full name is important for our matching principle. What this means is explained below. In addition, you are free to decide whether and, if so, what additional information you provide.
Why do we want to know this data? It is possible that you are registered in our system several times, for example when you have completed a form via our website. It is possible that your details have been entered slightly differently, for example your initials instead of first name or if you are moving, your new address instead of your current address. If your details are not completely the same, you may be registered in our system several times.
We will then search for records of your personal data in our system by means of a matching principle. Simply put, we search for the other data based on the data you now provide to us. The chance of a complete picture of the personal data known to us increases as you provide more data. It is therefore possible that not all of your personal data known to us are found because we have not been able to “match” it.
To ensure that the request has been made by you, we will send a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address known to us after receipt of your request. We will only process your request further after we have received confirmation of this e-mail.
Folkstorys strives to handle your request as quickly as possible, but will do so no later than within the statutory period of 1 month. When we have processed your request, we will provide you with the necessary information. In the unlikely event that your request is rejected (this may be because your request is in violation of the law), we will of course provide you with an explanation why Folkstorys was unable to process your request.
The information you provide will only be used to handle your query. After completion of your request, this data will be deleted.
You have the right, if you wish, to submit a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
Resists
You can always indicate that you do not want to be approached with marketing activities. This can be done by sending an e-mail to support@folkstorys.com
