At Sekelskifte, we think protecting your privacy is important. We want you to feel confident about how we store and handle your personal data such as your name and email address. That is why, as part of the transition to GDPR, we have set out how we handle your personal data in this Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal data. It also describes your rights and how you can activate them. We hope you feel confident about why we collect and how we use data.
