Privacy Policy – AC-DÉCO

‌Effective Date: October 15, 2026‌

Welcome to the privacy policy of AC-DÉCO, whose official website can be accessed via www.ac-decofr.com. At AC-DÉCO, we build better small shelves, and our entire product line focuses on offering compact, sturdy shelf solutions that actually fit French homes, not just generic big-box sizes. We started our brand from a simple frustration: seeing far too many wobbly storage units that waste valuable space in kitchens, bathrooms and small Parisian-style corners, so we handpicked every small indoor shelf to balance minimalist design, durable build and perfect size for local living spaces. Your personal privacy is one of our highest priorities as we strive to deliver the best home organizer shopping experience for every customer who browses our full collection of compact small home organizers to find the perfect shelf to tidy every messy spot in their living space. This Privacy Policy is designed to clearly explain how we collect, use, store, protect and share your personal information when you interact with our e-commerce website, as well as outline your rights and choices regarding your data. We are committed to complying with all applicable French and European Union data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to ensure your personal information is handled with full transparency and care. If you have any questions related to this policy or our data processing practices, you can contact us at any time via email at zoryn@ac-decofr.com, by phone at +33 6 1237 7580, or via physical mail at BAT 23, 1273 Route de Condé, 77100 Mareuil-lès-Meaux, France.

1. Information We Collect From You

We only collect information that is necessary to operate our e-commerce platform, fulfill your orders, and improve your overall shopping experience with our small home organizer products. The categories of information we may gather include the following:

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you create an account on our website, place an order, sign up for our newsletter, submit a customer support inquiry, leave a product review, or participate in our promotional surveys, you may choose to share specific personal details with us. This information includes but is not limited to your full name, billing and shipping addresses, email address, contact phone number, payment information (including credit card or alternative payment method details, which are processed through certified secure payment gateways), and any personalized preferences you share with us, such as your preferred shelf size, design style, or the specific rooms in your home you are looking to organize. When you submit a product review for one of our compact small home organizers, the content of your review, any photos you upload, and the username you choose to display publicly on our site will also be collected and stored for public display, unless you explicitly request otherwise.

1.2 Automatically Collected Technical Information

As is standard across most e-commerce websites, we automatically collect certain technical data when you visit and browse www.ac-decofr.com. This information includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system details, the date and time of your visit, the specific pages you view on our site, the length of time you spend on each page, the number of links you click while navigating our product catalog of small shelves, the referrer URL that directed you to our website, and other anonymous device identifiers. We also use first-party and third-party cookies to collect this data, which helps us remember your shopping cart contents, save your preferred language settings, and analyze how visitors interact with our website to optimize its functionality.

1.3 Information We Obtain From Third Parties

In some limited cases, we may receive supplementary information about you from trusted third-party partners, to help us verify your identity, prevent fraudulent transactions, and improve our service quality. For example, our payment processing providers may share limited data with us to confirm the validity of your payment method when you place an order for one of our storage products, and our logistics and shipping partners may provide us with delivery status updates to share with you regarding your small shelf order. We will never collect sensitive personal information such as your racial origin, religious beliefs, health status, or political opinions from these third parties, unless you explicitly provide that information to us voluntarily.

2. How We Use Your Collected Information

Every piece of personal information we collect is used for legitimate, clearly defined purposes that are aligned with our mission to deliver high-quality compact home organizers and a seamless shopping experience, and we will never process your data in a way that is incompatible with these stated purposes. The primary use cases for your information are as follows:

‌Order Fulfillment and Service Delivery‌: We use your name, shipping address, contact phone number, and payment details to process your order for our small home organizers, complete payment transactions, arrange for shipping and delivery, send you order confirmation emails and tracking updates, and handle any return or exchange requests you submit after receiving your products. This is the core processing activity that allows us to fulfill our contractual obligations to you as a customer of AC-DÉCO.
‌Website Functionality Optimization‌: The technical data we collect through cookies and automatic tracking is used to troubleshoot technical errors on our website, improve page loading speeds, customize the display of our product catalog to match your browsing habits, and ensure that all sections of our site, from our product listing pages for small indoor shelves to our “About Us” section and customer support portal, work correctly for every visitor.
‌Customer Support and Communication‌: We use your contact email and phone number to respond to your support inquiries, answer your questions about our minimalist shelf designs, durable build quality or size compatibility for French homes, notify you of any product recalls or safety updates related to items you have purchased, and resolve any disputes that may arise during your customer journey.
‌Personalized Marketing (With Your Explicit Consent)‌: If you opt in to receive our marketing communications, we will use your email address and stated product preferences to send you newsletters with new product launches, exclusive promotional offers, styling tips for arranging our small shelves in Parisian-style corners, kitchens, and bathrooms, and information about limited-time sales events. You can opt out of these marketing emails at any time, by clicking the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of every marketing message we send.
‌Fraud Prevention and Security Protection‌: We process your personal information to verify user identities, detect and prevent unauthorized transactions, identify malicious activity that may threaten the security of our website and our customer data, and enforce our website terms of service. This processing activity is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of AC-DÉCO, our customers, and our platform security.
‌Product and Service Improvement‌: We analyze anonymized aggregate user data, such as which compact small home organizer products are most frequently viewed, what search terms customers use on our website, and general feedback shared in product reviews, to develop new product lines, adjust our inventory levels to meet customer demand, and refine our existing shelf designs to better fit the needs of French households. This aggregated data cannot be linked back to any individual identifiable user.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes, without your explicit written consent. We only share your data with trusted third-party service providers who are contractually obligated to protect your information in compliance with applicable data protection laws, and only to the extent that it is necessary to deliver the services we offer to you. The categories of third parties we may share your information with include:

‌Authorized Service Providers‌: Our vetted business partners who support our e-commerce operations, including secure payment processors, logistics and delivery companies that ship your ordered small shelves to your address, cloud hosting providers that store our website and customer data on secure servers, email service providers that distribute our newsletters and order notifications, and website analytics partners that help us analyze website traffic patterns. All of these service providers are bound by strict data processing agreements that require them to implement robust security measures for your personal information, and prohibit them from using your data for any purposes beyond the tasks they are performing on our behalf.
‌Legal Authorities and Regulated Bodies‌: We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by a valid court order, government investigation, legal subpoena, or other mandatory legal requirement that applies to AC-DÉCO. We may also disclose your information if this disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, defend against pending legal claims, protect the safety of our staff, our customers, or the general public, and comply with our legal obligations under French and European legislation.
‌Business Transaction Successors‌: In the event that AC-DÉCO undergoes a merger, acquisition, full or partial asset sale, or other corporate restructuring, your personal information may be transferred to the successor entity as part of the business assets. We will provide you with advance notice of any such change of ownership, and inform you of any new policies that may apply to your data after the transfer, giving you the opportunity to exercise your rights as a data subject if you so choose.

We explicitly exclude the sale of your personal data to any third parties for commercial marketing purposes, and this practice is permanently prohibited under this Privacy Policy, in line with our commitment to protecting your privacy.

4. Data Storage, Retention and Security

All of your personal information that we collect and process is stored on secure servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA), to ensure full compliance with GDPR data transfer and protection regulations. We will never transfer your personal data to any countries outside of the EEA that do not have an adequate level of data protection recognized by the European Commission, unless we implement appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, and notify you of this transfer in advance.
We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we originally collected it. For example, we retain your order-related data for a period of 10 years after your transaction is completed, to comply with French accounting and tax legal requirements. We retain your account data for as long as you maintain an active user account on our www.ac-decofr.com website, and delete or anonymize your personal account data within 30 days after you submit a request to close your account. We keep marketing communication contact records for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter, or until you submit an opt-out request, whichever comes first. When your personal information is no longer needed for any of the purposes we outlined in this policy, we will securely erase or anonymize that data permanently.
To protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, we have implemented a comprehensive set of technical and organizational security measures. These measures include end-to-end 256-bit encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our website, as well as for all stored sensitive payment information, regular security vulnerability audits and penetration testing for our platform, role-based access controls that restrict access to personal customer data only to the AC-DÉCO staff members who need that information to perform their job duties, regular staff data protection training, and automated backup systems that prevent accidental data loss. While no online security system can guarantee absolute invulnerability, we continuously update our security protocols to meet the latest industry standards and mitigate all known cybersecurity risks.

5. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the General Data Protection Regulation and applicable French data protection laws, you hold a comprehensive set of rights regarding your personal information, which you can exercise at any time free of charge. These rights include:

‌Right of Access‌: You have the right to request a full copy of all personal information that we hold about you, as well as a detailed explanation of how we process that data, for what purposes, and who we have shared that information with.
‌Right to Rectification‌: If you find that any of the personal information we hold about you, such as your shipping address, email address, or payment details, is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct and update that information without unnecessary delay.
‌Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)‌: Under specific circumstances, such as when your personal information is no longer necessary for the original purposes we collected it for, or when you withdraw your consent for data processing and there is no other legal basis for us to retain your data, you have the right to request that we permanently delete all of your personal data from our systems.
‌Right to Restriction of Processing‌: You have the right to request that we temporarily suspend the processing of your personal information, for example when you contest the accuracy of your data, when our processing activity is unlawful but you do not want us to delete your data entirely, or when we no longer need your data but you require it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
‌Right to Data Portability‌: You have the right to request that we provide all the personal data you have voluntarily provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or that we transmit this data directly to another data controller you specify, where this is technically feasible.
‌Right to Object‌: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, when that processing is based on our legitimate interests. You also have the absolute right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, and we will immediately stop processing your data for those marketing activities after we receive your request.
‌Right to Withdraw Consent‌: For any data processing activity that you previously provided explicit consent for, you have the full right to withdraw that consent at any time. This withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities we completed before you submitted your withdrawal request.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you can send your request to us via email at zoryn@ac-decofr.com, or send a formal written request to our physical address at BAT 23, 1273 Route de Condé, 77100 Mareuil-lès-Meaux, France. We will respond to your request within a maximum of one month from the date we receive your identity-verified submission. In rare cases where your request is complex, we may extend this response period by up to two additional months, and we will notify you of this extension within the first month of receiving your request. We will never charge you any fee for processing your valid data subject rights request, unless your request is manifestly excessive, repetitive or unfounded, in which case we may charge a reasonable administrative fee to cover our processing costs, or refuse to act on the request. If you are not satisfied with our response to your data rights request, you have the right to submit a formal complaint to the relevant French data protection supervisory authority, the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL).
