For example, when you purchase from an independent seller, we may provide that seller with information reasonably necessary to fulfill the order, such as:
- Buyer name
- Shipping address
- Order details
- Contact information when necessary for delivery or pickup
Sellers may only use buyer information for legitimate marketplace purposes, including order fulfillment, customer service, returns, and legally required recordkeeping.
Sellers may not use buyer information obtained through IKEAMANIA for unrelated marketing, data harvesting, resale, or unauthorized purposes.
Similarly, certain seller information may be displayed or disclosed to buyers where necessary to identify the seller, fulfill a transaction, comply with applicable law, or resolve a dispute.

IKEAMANIA does not sell personal information for money as part of its business model.
Certain analytics, advertising, or cookie technologies may constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or similar activity under some privacy laws depending on how those technologies are configured.
Where applicable law provides an opt-out right, IKEAMANIA will honor qualifying requests through the privacy or cookie controls made available on the website.
8. Legal Requirements and Protection
We may preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with applicable laws
- Respond to lawful government requests

- Protect the rights or property of IKEAMANIA
- Protect buyers, sellers, or other users
- Protect the safety of any person
9. International Users
IKEAMANIA may be accessed by users outside the United States.
Information may therefore be transferred to, processed, or stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate measures will be used for international transfers of personal information.

13. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for legitimate legal or business purposes.
Retention periods may depend on:
- Whether an account remains active
- Transaction history
- Seller relationships
- Accounting obligations
- Tax requirements
- Fraud prevention
- Dispute resolution
- Legal requirements
- Enforcement of agreements
Some transaction information may therefore remain in our records after an account has been closed.
14. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.
However, no internet transmission, online platform, payment system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials.
15. Children
IKEAMANIA is intended for adults capable of entering legally binding transactions.
The marketplace is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13.
Seller accounts may only be established by persons legally capable of entering the applicable marketplace agreement.
16. Third-Party Websites
IKEAMANIA may contain links to external websites or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Their own policies govern information provided directly to them.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our marketplace, technology, legal requirements, or business practices.
