Privacy policy

Bråhovda Drinks AB, company reg. no. 559164-7028, is the controller for the processing of personal data on this website. We only process the data needed for the website to work and to do what you have asked us to, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The contact form

When you write to us through the form on the contact page, your first name, last name (optional), e-mail address, phone number (optional) and message are sent to us by e-mail, and you receive a confirmation at the address you gave. The data is not stored in the website’s database, only in our e-mail. We process it on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering you and keep it for up to twelve months after the matter is closed.

The newsletter

For the newsletter we store your e-mail address, the language you signed up in, where on the website you signed up, the times of sign-up, confirmation and any unsubscribe, the consent text you accepted, and an encrypted (hashed) form of your IP address together with your browser’s name and version. The last items are kept so that we can show that it was you who gave consent. The processing is based on your consent. More about the newsletter in the Newsletter section.

Protection against abuse and technical logs

To stop spam, the forms limit the number of attempts from the same IP address. The IP address is not stored in plain text but as a one-way encrypted code, which is deleted after one hour. The forms also contain a hidden field that only automated programs fill in.

Like every web server, ours logs the IP address, time, requested page and browser. The logs are used for operations and security and are deleted on a rolling basis. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in a secure, working website.

Who receives the data

We never sell your data. It is only shared with suppliers needed to run the website, who process it on our behalf under data processing agreements:

• Hosting: the website and its database run on a server in Sweden (UpCloud, Stockholm).
• E-mail: e-mails from the website (contact form replies, confirmations and newsletters) are sent through our e-mail provider Resend. Resend is a US company; the transfer is protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
• Fonts: the website’s fonts are loaded from Adobe Fonts. When a page loads, your browser connects to Adobe’s servers, which receive your IP address and information about your browser. Adobe uses this to deliver the fonts and for licence counting and sets no cookies. Adobe is a US company covered by the Data Privacy Framework. We use the service on the basis of our legitimate interest in a consistent visual identity.

Links to Systembolaget, Instagram, Facebook and Google Maps are plain links: nothing is loaded from those services until you click, after which their terms apply.

Your rights

You have the right to know what data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interest and to receive your data. You can withdraw consent at any time. Contact us using the details under Contact. You can also lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (imy.se).

When you sign up for our newsletter, we send you an e-mail with a confirmation link. The subscription only starts once you have clicked the link (double opt-in). The link is valid for 24 hours and can only be used once. If you do not confirm in time, the sign-up is deleted automatically in the daily clean-up.

We only use your address to send newsletters from Bråhovda Gin, with news about our gin, recipes and events. We do not track whether you open the e-mails or click links in them.

You can unsubscribe at any time through the link at the bottom of every newsletter or by contacting us. We stop sending e-mails to you immediately, and your data is deleted completely 30 days after you unsubscribe.

The newsletter is intended for people aged 20 or over.

Cookies are small text files that the website stores in your browser; storage in the browser’s localStorage works in a similar way and falls under the same rules. Bråhovda Gin only uses what the website needs to work and asks for your consent before anything else is used.

• Necessary: required for the website to work. For visitors this is currently only your choice in the cookie banner, stored in the browser so that we do not ask again. Editors who log in also get WordPress login cookies. Necessary cookies cannot be switched off.
• Statistics: anonymous visitor statistics that would help us improve the website. Only used if you accept the category. No statistics service is in use today, so the choice has no effect yet.

The website uses no marketing cookies and no embedded social media services. You can change your choice at any time through Cookie settings at the bottom of the page. The table below lists the cookies and storage items that may occur, including those only set when a particular feature is used.

We want everyone to be able to use the website, whatever their circumstances and assistive technology. It is built to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA and was last reviewed on 5 November 2026, with automated tests on every page type and a check of keyboard navigation.

• Everything can be used with a keyboard, and a link at the top of every page skips past the menu straight to the content.
• Focus is clearly visible, and the menu, the questions and answers and the cookie banner are marked up so that screen readers can use them.
• Every page has a clear heading structure, and buttons and icons have names that are read out.
• Text and background have sufficient contrast.
• Motion and animation respect your device’s reduced-motion setting.
• The website is available in Swedish and English.

Known shortcomings

Most images do not yet have descriptive alternative text and are treated as decorative; the text next to the images describes their content. We are adding alternative texts on an ongoing basis.

If you find something that does not work as it should, or need content in another format, get in touch using the details under Contact. We fix problems as soon as we can.

The controller is Bråhovda Drinks AB, company reg. no. 559164-7028, Hökens Gata 1, SE-116 46 Stockholm, Sweden.

Questions about personal data, cookies or accessibility can be sent to info@brahovda.com. We reply as soon as we can, and within one month for requests about your rights under the GDPR.
