Last updated: June 23, 2026
Hexcraft Oy (Business ID: 3569616-7), located at Satelliitinkatu 1, FI-37140 Nokia, Finland ("Hexcraft", "we", "our", or "us"), operates the Hexed brand and provides our websites, online store, digital experiences, products, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Our Services include:
• the Hexed online store at hexedcosmetics.com, powered by Shopify Inc.; and
• the HEXED Crossing experience at crossing.hexedcosmetics.com, powered by Vercel Inc., through which users can participate in our pre-launch experience and apply for early access.
Depending on the Services you use, Shopify Inc., Vercel Inc., and certain other service providers described in this Privacy Policy may process personal data on our behalf in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and otherwise process your personal information when you visit or use our Services, purchase our products, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with Hexcraft.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our Services, you acknowledge that your personal information will be processed as described in this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information We Collect or Process
When we use the term "personal information," we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. Personal information does not include information that is collected anonymously or that has been de-identified, so that it cannot identify or be reasonably linked to you. We may collect or process the following categories of personal information, including inferences drawn from this personal information, depending on how you interact with the Services, where you live, and as permitted or required by applicable law:
- Contact details including your name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.
- Financial information including credit card, debit card, and financial account numbers, payment card information, financial account information, transaction details, form of payment, payment confirmation and other payment details.
- Account information including your username, password, security questions, preferences and settings.
- Transaction information including the items you view, put in your cart, add to your wishlist, or purchase, return, exchange or cancel and your past transactions.
- HEXED Crossing data including your responses to the seven Ferry Crossing questions, your assigned tribe (one of Eirwyn, Nyrá, Myrkova, or Eimyrja), the personal Ferryman sentence selected for you based on your answers, and the date on which you completed the Crossing.
- Communications with us including the information you include in communications with us, for example, when sending a customer support inquiry.
- Device information including information about your device, browser, or network connection, your IP address, and other unique identifiers.
- Usage information including information regarding your interaction with the Services, including how and when you interact with or navigate the Services.
We collect and process this personal information on the following legal bases, as permitted by applicable law:
- to perform our contract with you (for example, to process your purchases and deliver products);
- to comply with legal obligations (such as tax and accounting requirements);
- based on your consent (for example, for marketing communications and for participating in the HEXED Crossing experience); and
- for our legitimate interests (such as to improve our Services, prevent fraud, and ensure network security).
Payment information
Payment card details are processed securely by our payment service providers. Hexcraft Oy does not store or have access to your complete payment card details.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal information as permitted by applicable data protection laws, on the following legal bases: to perform our contract with you; to comply with legal obligations; based on your consent; and for our legitimate business interests such as providing and improving our Services, preventing fraud, and ensuring network and information security.
No Sensitive Information
We do not collect or process any sensitive personal data (such as health, racial or ethnic origin, or biometric information). The HEXED Crossing questions are reflective and atmospheric in nature and are not designed to elicit sensitive personal data within the meaning of Article 9 GDPR.
Cookies and Tracking
Some of the personal information we collect automatically through cookies and similar technologies. You can learn more and manage your preferences in our Cookie Policy.
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. The HEXED Crossing tribe assignment is a deterministic personalisation outcome — the same set of answers always yields the same tribe and Ferryman sentence — and does not affect pricing, product availability, access to services, or any other legally or similarly significant outcome.
Where personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision, as required by applicable data protection laws.
Personal Information Sources
• Directly from you, including when you create an account, participate in the HEXED Crossing experience, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or otherwise interact with our Services.
• Automatically through the Services, including information collected from your device, browser, cookies, and similar technologies when you visit our websites or use our Services.
• From our service providers, where they process personal information on our behalf to provide services such as website hosting, payment processing, order fulfilment, analytics, customer support, email communications, or fraud prevention.
• From business partners or other third parties, where permitted by law, such as payment providers, delivery partners, social media platforms, advertising partners, or analytics providers.
How We Use Your Personal Information
Depending on how you interact with us (customerservice@hexcraft.fi) or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for the following purposes:
-
Provide, Tailor, and Improve the Services. We use your personal information to provide you with the Services, including to perform our contract with you, to process your payments, to fulfill your orders, to remember your preferences and items you are interested in, to send notifications to you related to your account, to process purchases, returns, exchanges or other transactions, to create, maintain and otherwise manage your account, to arrange for shipping, to facilitate any returns and exchanges, to enable you to post reviews, and to create a customized shopping experience for you, such as recommending products related to your purchases. This may include using your personal information to better tailor and improve the Services.
-
HEXED Crossing Experience. We use your responses to the seven Ferry Crossing questions to determine your tribe assignment (one of Eirwyn, Nyrá, Myrkova, or Eimyrja) and to select a personal Ferryman sentence from a curated pool of eighty sentences. This information personalises the brand experience offered to you, including the visual presentation of your Marked card, the tribe-specific content available to you in The Grimoire, and any future communications you receive from us. As described above under Automated Decision-Making, the tribe assignment is deterministic and does not produce legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. The information generated through the HEXED Crossing is used solely to personalise your experience within the HEXED universe and is not used to evaluate, predict, or make decisions about your personal characteristics, behaviour, financial status, health, or eligibility for any products or services.
-
Marketing and Advertising. We use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as to send marketing, advertising and promotional communications by email, text message or postal mail, and to show you online advertisements for products or services on the Services or other websites, including based on items you previously have purchased or added to your cart and other activity on the Services.
-
Security and Fraud Prevention. We use your personal information to authenticate your account, to provide a secure payment and shopping experience, to detect, investigate or take action regarding possible fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activity, including the use of automated bot-protection systems (such as Cloudflare Turnstile) at the point of email submission. We use these tools to protect public safety, secure our services, and prevent abuse of our pre-launch list. If you choose to use the Services and register an account, you are responsible for keeping your account credentials safe. We highly recommend that you do not share your username, password or other access details with anyone else.
-
Communicating with You. We use your personal information to provide you with customer support, to be responsive to you, to provide effective services to you and to maintain our business relationship with you.
-
Legal Reasons. We use your personal information to comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including requests from law enforcement or government agencies, to investigate or participate in civil discovery, potential or actual litigation, or other adversarial legal proceedings, and to enforce or investigate potential violations of our terms or policies.
Legal Bases for Use
We process your personal information under applicable data protection laws, including where it is necessary to perform a contract with you, to comply with our legal obligations, where you have given consent, and for our legitimate interests such as fraud prevention, service improvement, and customer communication. Participation in the HEXED Crossing and receipt of marketing communications are based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time as described below.
Marketing and Consent
You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
Profiling and Automated Decision-Making
We may use your information to personalise your shopping and brand experience, including via the HEXED Crossing tribe assignment described above. We do not use any automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.
Summary
In essence, we use your data to provide and enhance our services, deliver the HEXED Crossing and Marked experiences, communicate with you, comply with legal obligations, and maintain a safe and efficient online presence.

Relationship with Shopify
Our online store at hexedcosmetics.com is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform through which we offer our products and services.
When you visit or make a purchase through our Shopify-hosted store, certain personal information is processed by Shopify on our behalf to enable essential store functionality, payment processing, order management, fraud prevention, and platform security. This processing is carried out in accordance with our Data Processing Agreement and applicable data protection laws.
In addition to providing the Shopify platform, Shopify may process certain information for its own legitimate business purposes, such as maintaining, securing, improving, and developing its platform and services. In these limited circumstances, Shopify may act as an independent or joint data controller under applicable data protection laws. Where Shopify acts as a controller, it is responsible for responding to requests relating to such processing.

If you have questions relating to the independent processing activities of one of our third-party providers, you may also contact that provider directly through its own privacy policy."
Third Party Websites and Links
Our Services may contain links to websites, applications, or online services operated by third parties. These third-party services are not owned or controlled by Hexcraft Oy and are subject to their own privacy policies, terms of use, and security practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing personal information. Once you leave our Services or interact directly with a third-party platform, the processing of your personal information is governed by that third party's own policies.
Where our Services include integrated third-party features (such as social media buttons, embedded content, or payment services), certain technical information—such as your IP address, browser information, device identifiers, or interaction data—may be transmitted directly to the relevant provider where necessary for the functionality of those services or where you have provided the required consent.
Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, Hexcraft Oy does not disclose your personal information to third-party websites or platforms unless you actively choose to interact with them, initiate the connection yourself, or where such disclosure is necessary to provide the requested Service.
The inclusion of links to third-party websites does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of their content, products, services, or privacy practices. We are not responsible for the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 15, or the minimum age required by applicable law in your country.
We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from children without the appropriate consent of a parent or legal guardian where such consent is required by applicable law.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without the required consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information without undue delay.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy. We will investigate your request and, where appropriate, delete the relevant personal information.
Where parental consent is required under Article 8 GDPR or other applicable laws, we process the personal information of minors only to the extent permitted by that consent.
Security and Retention of Your Information
We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of sensitive data, access controls, secure storage systems, regular security assessments, and staff awareness training.
Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and as required by applicable law. In particular:
- Order and transaction data – retained for up to 6 years to meet accounting and tax obligations under Finnish law.
- Account information – retained while your account remains active or until you request deletion.
- HEXED Crossing data (your responses, tribe assignment, Ferryman sentence, crossing date) – retained for as long as you remain a member of our pre-launch list and The Marked community, and for up to 3 years following a period of inactivity, unless you request earlier deletion.

- Customer support records – typically kept for up to 12 months after resolution.
- Bot-protection tokens (Cloudflare Turnstile) – ephemeral; single-use and not retained beyond the verification of your form submission.
After the relevant retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise your personal information in accordance with our data retention policy. We regularly review the personal information we hold to ensure it is accurate, limited to what is necessary, and up to date.
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the appropriate data protection authorities and, where required, affected individuals, in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
