Share Your Space Privacy Notice
We at IKEA respect your concerns about privacy and value the trust you have placed in us. This Privacy Notice describes the types of personal information we collect via Share Your Space websites, how we may use that information, and with whom we may share it. This Privacy Notice also describes the measures we take to protect the security of the information. In addition, we describe the choices you can make about how we use the information you provide to us. We tell you how you can reach us to update your contact information, remove your name from our mailing list, or answer any questions you may have about our privacy practices. This Privacy Notice is only applicable to personal information collected via IKEA's Share Your Space website.
What types of information does IKEA collect and use about me and how does IKEA use the information?
We collect and use information about you to communicate with you about our products, services and promotions, and to facilitate your communication with other users who have chosen to post their information via our Share Your Space website. Here are the ways we obtain information about you and the types of information we obtain. We also tell you how we use the information.
Join the Network/Submit Your Space
To participate in IKEA's Share Your Space program, you may choose to join the IKEA network of businesses by creating a website profile, including a username and password. When you create a website profile, we receive your name, address, email address and phone number. We use and save your information to respond to your request to join the network, including your request to post your business information and photos, which will allow you to network with other Share Your Space members. If we decide to post your information, we will save it and may post it until you request that it be removed. If you agree, we will also use your information to notify you about our products and services.
Website
Many web surfers are concerned about their privacy and the use of 'cookies' on the Internet. Cookies are small files that can be used to store information you have already provided. Cookies cannot be used to "steal" information about you or your computer system.
The IKEA website uses cookies to remember your preferences. For example, the website may remember which IKEA store page you view, in order to make your next visit more convenient (by displaying information more relevant to that store location).
Nevertheless, if you don't like having any cookies at all they can be disabled in your web browser's Internet Options.
Other information you provide to us
If you include personal information in any of the content you choose to provide us, such as photos submitted via the Submit Your Space feature, we will receive and may post that information in the process of responding to your request to post your business information and photos.
Does IKEA share the information it obtains about me with third parties?
IKEA does not share personal information about its consumers with any third parties outside the IKEA corporate family for their own marketing purposes. However, we may do so within the IKEA corporate family. We do share this information with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf, but these service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We also may disclose information about you as required by law.
When you provide your information in order to Share Your Space via this website, we may post that information pursuant to your request. We have sole discretion to decide whether to post your information and photos. If we do post the information and photos, as you have requested, they will be publicly available via this website and viewable by any user of this website.
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. If the business is transferred, we will provide you with the opportunity to tell us that you would prefer that information about you not be transferred. Should such a transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to ensure that the transferee uses personal information about you in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice.
If you prefer that we not disclose your personal information as described above, please do not provide your personal information through the site.
Does IKEA transfer information it obtains about me to other countries?
IKEA, its corporate family, and third parties who receive your personal information as described in this Privacy Notice may be located in the European Union, Canada, the United States and other countries that do not have the same laws regarding personal information as does the country in which you reside. However, we will use and disclose your personal information you submit via this website as described in this Privacy Notice.
How does IKEA protect personal information?
The security of personal information is a high priority for us. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration and destruction of the personal information in our possession. We are committed to providing appropriate security controls to protect personal information we have about you against foreseeable hazards.
How does IKEA update its Privacy Notice?
IKEA services and promotions will change over time. This Privacy Notice will be updated periodically to reflect those changes and corresponding changes in our information practices. Whenever we revise this Privacy Notice, we will change the date on the notice to indicate when the revisions were made. We reserve the right to change our information practices and the terms of this Privacy Notice, and to apply the changed practices to all information we have about you. By using this website, you agree to accept the terms of this Privacy Notice as stated at the time you use it. Any future access to this website subsequent to the posting of a revised Privacy Notice will be deemed to be your acceptance of this Privacy Notice as then revised. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Notice at any time.
Does the IKEA website contain links to other websites?
The IKEA website may contain links to other websites that operate independently of IKEA and are not under our control. We provide links to other websites solely for your convenience and information. This Privacy Notice does not apply at other websites, even though they may be linked to this website. Other websites may have their own privacy notices or terms of use, which we suggest you review if you visit any linked websites. IKEA is not responsible for information that is provided by, or collected through, those websites or for any other use of those websites.
