Privacy statement - For visiting IKEA.nl
Each day we work to improve the daily lives of as many people as possible, not just through our products and collections, but also through our services. In some instances this requires us to obtain information. We don’t gather information just for the sake of it. At the end of the day, this is about your privacy and in our opinion it is something that we need to be absolutely clear about.
