LEGAL COMPLIANCE FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only process your personal information where we have a legal reason to do so. The legal reason will depend on why we have collected your personal information. This is likely to be one of the following:

  • where we have entered into a contract with you, or in order to do so:  where you have made a purchase from us and we need to use your contact and payment information in order to process and send your order to you.
  • where you have provided your consent: where you have consented to receive marketing information, updates and news from us. You can withdraw your consent at any time, including by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email we send you.
  • where we have legitimate business interests: where it is necessary for us to understand our customers, promote our services and operate effectively as a clothing retailer, provided in each case that this is done in a legitimate way which does not unduly affect your privacy and other rights. For example we will rely on this legal basis when we conduct certain market analysis to understand our customers in sufficient detail so we can create new services and improve the profile of our brand.
  • where we must comply with law: Where we are subject to a legal obligation and need to use your personal information in order to comply with that obligation.

 

HOW WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

All personal information is retained for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. After this period it will be deleted or anonymised. For example, where you have made a purchase with us, we will keep a record of your purchase for the period necessary for invoicing, tax and warranty purposes. We may also keep a record of correspondence with you (for example if you have made a complaint) for as long as is necessary to protect us from a legal claim.

If we have collected your personal information via your consent and you subsequently wish to withdraw your consent, we will delete your personal information. Please Note that if you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, we will keep a record of your email address to ensure we do not send you marketing emails in future.
