Privacy Policy
This policy determines how Hasta AB (with the brands Hasta, Lectus Sängar, and Descotex) processes your personal data.
What is personal data?

This could include, for example, name, email address, but also images and sound recordings processed on a computer, even if no names are included. Encrypted data and various types of electronic identifiers, such as IP numbers, are considered personal data if they can be linked to physical persons.
What does it mean to process personal data?
Any type of handling of personal data is considered processing, regardless of whether it is an automated action or not. This could include, for example, actions such as collecting, registering, storing, modifying, organizing, transferring, or deleting personal data.
