Last updated: August 2026
STF (Seejthreadsflames) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, the legal basis for processing it, who we may share it with, and the rights available to you under applicable data-protection law.
Who is responsible for your data
STF (Seejthreadsflames) is the controller of the personal data processed through this website and our online store.

Website: seejthreadsflames.com
Personal data we collect
Depending on how you interact with our store, we may collect:
- name and contact details;
- billing and shipping address;
- order and purchase information;
- payment status and limited payment-related information;
- communications with our customer-service team;
- IP address, device and browser information;
- website usage and cookie information;
- marketing preferences.
Payment details are processed by our payment service providers. STF does not directly store your complete payment-card details.
Why we process your personal data and our legal basis
We may process personal data:
- to process, fulfil and deliver your orders — necessary for the performance of our contract with you;
- to send order, payment and shipping communications — necessary for performance of the contract;
- to comply with accounting, tax and other legal obligations — necessary for compliance with a legal obligation;
- to prevent fraud, protect our store and maintain security — where necessary for our legitimate interests in protecting our business and customers;
- to respond to customer-service enquiries — depending on the circumstances, for performance of a contract or our legitimate interests in providing customer support;
- to send newsletters and promotional communications — where you have provided consent or where otherwise permitted by applicable law;
- to use analytics, advertising and other non-essential tracking technologies — where your consent is required.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
Marketing communications
If you have agreed to receive marketing communications, we may send information about new releases, collections, pre-orders, promotions and other STF news.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation of our store. We may also use analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies where permitted.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will only be activated after you have given consent through our cookie-consent controls. You can change or withdraw your consent through the available cookie settings.
Further information about the cookies and technologies used on our website may be provided through our cookie settings or cookie policy.
Sharing your personal data
We may share personal data with service providers where necessary to operate our business, including:
- Shopify and ecommerce technology providers;
- payment processors;
- shipping and fulfilment providers;
- analytics providers;
- email and marketing providers;
- fraud-prevention and security providers;
- professional advisers or authorities where disclosure is legally required.
Our store is hosted by Shopify and uses Shopify Network Intelligence. Shopify processes information when you visit and shop, including to provide services that combine interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify for analytics, service improvement, personalization and advertising. Information is shared with Shopify and other third parties that may process it in other countries. For these Enhanced Services, Shopify acts as an independent controller. Some advertising uses may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under certain privacy laws. You can use our cookie preferences and, where available, our data-sharing opt-out page to manage choices. Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy explains its processing, and its privacy portal explains how to exercise your rights and choices.
International data transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we use appropriate safeguards required by applicable data-protection law, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards where applicable.
How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including fulfilling orders, providing support, complying with tax and accounting obligations, resolving disputes and protecting our legal rights.
Different retention periods may apply depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements.
Your privacy rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
- access your personal data;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
- request deletion of your personal data;
- restrict certain processing;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
- object to direct marketing;
- lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
Complaints
If you believe your personal data has been processed unlawfully, you may contact us first so we can try to resolve the matter. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In the Netherlands, this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
Children
Our online store is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children where parental consent would be required under applicable law.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. No electronic system can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Third-party links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies, and STF is not responsible for those external websites.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, services or legal obligations. The latest version will always show the updated revision date.

Privacy in the STF mobile app
App section updated: 22 October 2026
This section supplements this Privacy Policy for the STF — Built in Silence mobile shopping app (com.seejthreadsflames.mobile). STF (Seejthreadsflames) is responsible for personal data processed through the app. The other sections of this policy, including our contact details, purposes, legal bases, sharing, retention and your rights, also apply.
Age groups and access. The app is intended for people aged 13 and over. Users who select an age group of 13 or over can browse products, save items, use a cart and start Shopify checkout. Users aged 13–17 can check out as guests. Separate STF account pages, general websites, social links and contact apps are available only after selecting 18 or over. Selecting an age group below 13, or choosing not to provide one, gives access to restricted browsing, saved items and a local cart, without checkout, accounts or general external links. The age choice is a self-declaration; it does not verify age or parental consent.
Information stored on your device. The app stores your selected age group, language, saved items, cart contents, discount code and the time a promotion was last displayed locally on your device. The age screen does not ask for your full date of birth, and the app does not include your age-group choice in its requests to STF or Shopify. The saved age-group choice cannot be changed within the app. Clearing saved items and the cart does not reset that choice or delete an account or order.
Browsing and shopping services. After you make an age-group choice, loading products and images connects your device to Shopify and content hosts. These requests disclose technical information such as your IP address and device or connection details. Native catalogue searches and saved items stay on your device. When an eligible user starts checkout, the app sends selected product variants and quantities, language, Netherlands country context and entered discount codes to Shopify. Shopify Checkout Kit and the services used during checkout process the contact, delivery, order and payment-related information needed for the features you use. STF and its fulfilment, payment and support providers process information for orders, delivery and customer service as described elsewhere in this policy.
Hosted pages and privacy choices. Separate account pages use Shopify’s hosted sign-in and account service in a browser account window. Other hosted store pages can open within the app. Hosted pages can use cookies, browser storage and their own privacy controls. For app checkout, the app sends Shopify a refusal of optional analytics, preferences, marketing and data-sale processing. This checkout choice does not automatically apply to separately opened pages and does not mean that all technical or consent-related requests stop. The Shopify data uses and privacy choices described in the sharing section of this policy also apply when you use those hosted services.
Requests and deletion. To request access, correction or deletion of your STF account and associated personal data, email service@seejthreadsflames.com or follow our account-deletion instructions. We may need to verify that the account belongs to you. Do not send a password or login code. Certain order and other records may need to be retained for legal obligations, as explained in this policy and the deletion instructions.
