2.2 How does Auto-Track work?

Klarna enables the Service by automated processing of your data. 

Klarna asks your email provider to allow Klarna to access your email account on your behalf. We do this in order to collect data that is relevant to provide the Service to you. 

Your email provider will ask you for your login credentials (e.g. email address and password). By providing your credentials to the email provider, you authorize Klarna to access your email account, and read and collect relevant content.

If Microsoft is your email provider, Klarna is able to provide the Service to you by use of an API provided by Microsoft. You must always have and maintain a valid license for your own use of your Microsoft service.

Klarna scans and imports your purchase(s) and deliveries related emails received in your inbox. Klarna scans relevant emails based on sender email domain, keywords or other identifiers and from these relevant emails extracts the Order Information,Delivery Information, and any relevant promotional codes. Klarna will store and use this information for as long as needed to provide the Service to you, to improve the Service or for other lawful purposes. Klarna does not store your emails but may retain and use limited information from such emails to improve the Service and for analytics purposes.

Klarna uses the Delivery Information to receive status updates regarding your deliveries, e.g. from logistics companies (for example UPS or DHL), and when a status is received, provide you with current delivery information in the Klarna App.

Klarna uses your Order Information to visualize purchases in the Klarna App for purchases you have made via Klarna, as well as purchases not made via Klarna. Klarna also uses this information to show you products you have purchased in our “Buy-Again” feature. Klarna may offer additional services in connection to visualizing your orders in the Klarna App according to the terms for the Klarna Shopping Service

Klarna will frequently (multiple times per day) scan your email account on your behalf, as described above, in order to provide you with the most recent updates and current information, until you disconnect the Service or terminate this Agreement, as discussed above.

Please note that the Service is not limited to Order Information and Delivery Information connected to purchases made by Klarna or to orders via Klarna. 

Certain email providers, such as Google and Microsoft, will also ask you to re-consent to connect to their API, this consent is not collected by Klarna but you need to provide your consent in order for us to continue to provide the Service. If you do not re-consent your email will be disconnected and we will stop importing any new data into the Klarna App. Any previously imported data will still be available in the Klarna App. Klarna will remind you when it is time to re-consent.
