• Contact and account details
• Business information including organisation number
• Payment and payout information (via Stripe)
• Shop content, listings, and communication

Additional data for legal reporting (DAC7):

• Tax Identification Number (TIN)
• Country(ies) of tax residence
• Date of birth (for individuals)
• Total compensation earned via the platform
• Number of transactions

• Operate and administer your shop

• Meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations
• Provide platform support
• Promote the marketplace and its sellers
• Comply with EU reporting requirements (DAC7)

Legal reporting obligations (DAC7)

Under EU law effective from 1 January 2023, marketplace platforms are required to:

• Collect and verify seller identity and tax information
• Track seller earnings and activity
• Report this information to Skatteverket

This means we may share the following with Skatteverket:

• Your identity and business details
• Your tax residence and TIN
• Financial information related to your sales

This information may be exchanged between tax authorities across EU member states.

Providing this data is obligatory to use the platform as a seller.

Platform promotion

By keeping an active shop on Among Makers, you agree that we may feature your shop or products across our website and digital channels. This is a core part of running the marketplace and cannot be opted out of while remaining active.

Marketing emails

You may opt out of receiving our newsletter without affecting your shop.

You will still receive essential service messages related to orders, payouts, policy changes, and legal updates.

Payments & financial data

Payments are processed securely via Stripe Connect Express. Among Makers primarily relies on Stripe-provided account identifiers and does not routinely access or store full bank account details. However, where required for legal or regulatory compliance (including under DAC7), we may collect, access, and retain certain financial information, including bank account details.

Data retention

We retain relevant financial and transactional data for up to 7 years to comply with EU accounting and tax laws.

Data collected for legal reporting obligations may be retained as required by applicable regulations.

Seller responsibility

Each maker is an independent seller and is responsible for their own products, fulfilment, and buyer communication.

Your rights

You have the same GDPR rights as any individual under EU law, including access, correction, and deletion of personal data where legally possible.
