We also use cookies and other tracking technology which collect certain kinds of information when you interact with our sites, such as IP addresses or browsing preferences.
We may collect personal data about you from other sources including third party data aggregators (e.g. Google), promotional partners, public sources and third party social networking sites. Such information may include personal data as part of your profile on a third party social network and that you allow that third party to share with us, pursuant to their rules.

We may collect and use your personal data for a number of purposes, including:

  • to allow you to create and access your user Account
  • to fulfil your orders and purchases;
  • to develop consumer engagement, respond to your queries or use it for contests you have entered;
  • to contact you for marketing purposes, including direct marketing and social features within social networks;
  • to combine with information we receive from others to help understand your needs and to provide you with better service, including customizing sites and products for you and serving you interest-based advertising;
  • for security and maintenance; for reporting and auditing; and for risk, dispute and record management.

Sharing of personal data to other parties

We may disclose your personal data to the following categories of recipients:

  • our affiliates;
  • service providers; 
  • commercial partners, such as brand licensees and
  • authorities.

We require such third parties, who may be based outside the country from which you have accessed the Sites, to comply with all relevant data protection laws and security requirements in relation to your personal data.

We might propose social plugins or you might connect your Account to your accounts on third party services like Facebook, in which case we may collect and process information relating to your account. If you connect with Facebook, we store your Facebook identity, name, email, location, friends list and profile picture and use them to connect with your Facebook account to provide certain functionality on the Sites. The third-party platform’s use of information collected from you (or as authorized by you) is governed by its own privacy policy and your settings on the service.  

We might share user information with our partners, in particular for our licensed brands. This means that some personal data shared by you on the Sites (e.g. name and e-mail address for “contact me” purpose) will be shared with the relevant licensee and may also be used by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy for a similar purpose.

At your request, and provided there is no legal obligation to keep it, we might delete or anonymize your data from the Sites. However, you should note that your data may still be available in the Partner’s own databases if transmitted prior to us receiving your request.

We take all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data we hold against loss, unauthorised access or disclosure and against other misuse.

Your personal data will not be sold, shared or otherwise disclosed or transferred to any other third parties except as provided in the Privacy Policy.

When the personal data that we collect is no longer required for the given purpose, or for legal requirements, we destroy or delete it in a secure manner.
