Purposes of processing and our legal justification for processing
We may process your personal information for the purposes listed below on the basis of the following justifications:
Consent: this is the legal basis when you have given clear consent for us to process your personal information (for example, where you consent to receiving marketing information).
Performance of a contract: the processing is necessary for a contract we are entering into with you (including compliance with our Terms of Use), or because we have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract (for example, processing your contact information relating to the purchase and delivery of a product).
Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (for example, for the running of our business, protecting against fraud, or Platform security), unless there is a good reason to protect your personal information which overrides those legitimate interests.
Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (for example, a court order).
Other grounds: the processing may on occasion be necessary for other legal reasons such as to prevent and detect crime, to protect life or the processing is otherwise in the public interest.
The purposes of processing and justifications are as follows:
Service-related processing: We process your personal information for service-related purposes, including product information, service communications, programme updates, announcements and administrative messages, such as confirmation of, or changes to, event or appointment bookings, as well as to notify you about changes to our terms or privacy policy. Our primary justification is for the performance of a contract but we may also rely on legitimate interests (for example, to ensure you are content with your purchase and that we are providing our products and services to you in a secure, effective and efficient manner), legal obligation or consent.
Marketing-related communications and digital advertising: We process your personal information for marketing-related purposes, including sending you marketing communications (including by telephone,
e-mail, post and electronic or text messages, including WhatsApp or other one-to-one communications, and delivering personalised messages or advertising on social media or other digital platforms) relating to us and other third party partners that we think may be of interest to you. We may also share your personal information (such as your e-mail address, usually in an encrypted or ‘hashed’ form, or specific cookie data) with social media and other platforms or other service providers for the purposes of custom audience or lookalike matching, or intra-group client/prospect matching for marketing purposes – our primary justification for marketing-related communications and digital advertising processing is either consent or legitimate interests (for example, to recommend certain products to you). Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by e-mailing the address below in the section headed “Contact us” or clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any marketing e-mails or text messages. Where we request your consent at multiple touchpoints (for example, in-store or on the Platforms) and at different times, any consent collected will remain valid unless you expressly opt-out.
Accounts & records: We process your personal information for the purposes of managing our accounts and records – our primary justification is for the performance of a contract but we may also rely on consent, legitimate interests (for example, to prevent fraud) or legal obligation.

We reserve our rights not to provide products and/or services to you where we have a legitimate reason not to do so in accordance with applicable law.
Automated technologies & profiling: We process your personal information as part of our use of innovative technologies, including profiling technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced algorithms, to help us identify and predict any services or other information that may be of interest to you based on the information that you provide to us or we collect from third parties (as detailed in the section ”Information we collect from third parties about you”). This may lead to automated decisions about you being taken using technology without human involvement. It may include decisions regarding our products, services, event invitations, personal benefits and other information.

This may be completely automated (such as to escalate complaints) or involve human intervention where the final decision is taken by an individual. When we use your personal information for any automated decisions and/or profiling, we will take steps to be transparent and fair and to make decisions free from bias. We will implement reasonable safeguards designed to protect any of your personal information. In certain circumstances, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of automated decisions and/or profiling – our primary justification is legitimate interests (for example, to improve our Client Relations Center training) and consent.

Our Cookie Policy
This Platform uses cookies according to our Cookie Policy. This Cookie Policy is available to users on each page of the website linked to this Privacy Policy and on each information banner regarding cookies.
Like most platforms, our Platforms log IP addresses and use cookies and similar technologies that allow us to recognise you and to customise your experience, and provide us with information about the way our visitors access our Platforms. You can find out more about how we use cookies and related technologies below.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files, containing small amounts of information, which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or mobile application. They are used to recognise your computer as you move between pages on a website, or when you return to a website or mobile application you have visited previously. Cookies are widely used in order to make platforms work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the platform.
We use cookies to enhance the online experience of our visitors (for example, by remembering your language and/or product preferences) and to better understand how our Platforms are used. Cookies will tell us, for example, whether you have visited our Platforms before or whether you are a new visitor. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.
There are two broad categories of cookies:
First party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device. They are used only by us to recognise your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Platforms.
Third party cookies, which are served by a third party service provider on our Platforms, and can be used by the service provider to recognise your computer or mobile device when it visits other platforms. Third party cookies are most commonly used for platform analytics or advertising purposes.
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. We use both 'session cookies' and ‘persistent cookies’. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Persistent cookies survive after your browser is closed, and can be used to recognise your computer or mobile device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
What cookies do we use?
The Platform serves only the following types of cookies to your computer or mobile device for the following purposes:
Technical Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through this Platform and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like transactional pages and secure login accounts, would not be possible.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies serve a variety of purposes related to the presentation, performance and functionality of this Platform. Their overall purpose, however, is to enhance visitors’ experience and enjoyment of this Platform. For example, some of these cookies enable visitors to specify language, product or other platform preferences.
Analytical Cookies: These cookies, including those from third parties (such as Google Analytics), are used to collect information about how visitors use our Platforms. This information includes the number of visitors to our Platforms, the platforms that referred them to our Platforms and the pages that they visited on our Platforms. We use this information to help run our Platforms more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Platforms.
Advertising Cookies: These cookies, including those from third parties, are aimed at creating profiles related to you and are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests in line with your preferences expressed while surfing the web. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising and promotion. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a platform and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers, social media platforms or our display partners.
Social Cookies: These cookies are third party cookies that allow you to interact with social media platforms (e.g. share or like buttons).
How to control or delete cookies
The use of cookies does not always require your express consent. In particular, technical cookies do not require such consent as far as they are necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user. On the other hand, your prior consent is required for functionality cookies, analytical cookies, advertising cookies and social cookies.
You have the right to withdraw your consent and refuse the use of cookies at any time and we have explained how you can exercise this right below. However, please note that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Platforms.
You can set your cookie preferences by using our cookie consent tool or by changing your browser settings so that cookies from this Platform cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” facility).

Third Party Vendors & Cookies
We also benefit from data provided by third parties where you provide us with your consent to set the relevant cookies and/or other tracking technologies. We set out below a summary of the key data sources.
We use a number of Meta services and other similar products on our Platforms, including through the use of the pixel and other business products. In some circumstances, Meta or the other platform provider acts as our data processor and in other circumstances, they are a joint data controller (for example, Meta with respect to Custom Audiences). Further details of how they process your personal information, the legal basis they rely on, your rights and contact details can be found on the relevant platform.
About Advertising
The Platforms use third parties such as network advertisers and ad exchanges to serve you ads on third party platforms after you leave our Platforms, and we use third party analytics and other service providers to evaluate and provide us and/or third parties with information about the use of the Platforms and viewing of ads and of our content. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements, which are based on your visits to the Platforms and other apps and sites you have visited. Third party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products and services that you might be interested in.
Third party tracking technologies are not controlled by us, even if they are associated with our Platforms or our ads. Statements regarding our practices do not apply to the methods for collecting information used by these third parties and others or the use of the information that such third parties collect. The relevant third party’s terms of service, privacy policy, permissions, notices and choices should be reviewed regarding their collection, storage and sharing practices. We make no representations regarding the policies or practices of third party advertisers or advertising networks or exchanges or related third parties, such as Meta.
You have choices in respect of the delivery of ads. You can opt-out of receiving certain types of behavioural ads by visiting the third party websites described in the section headed “How to control or delete cookies” in our Cookie Policy. We are not responsible for effectiveness of or compliance with any third parties’ opt-out options.
Commitment 2: Protecting Your Personal Information
Protecting your personal information
We want you to feel confident about sharing your personal information with us, and we are committed to protecting the personal information we collect by implementing leading data protection, privacy and security standards. We limit access to personal information about you to employees who reasonably need access to it, to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. We have appropriate technical and organisational physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the personal information that you provide to us against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, damage or destruction. However, where we ask you to choose a password in order to access certain parts of our Platforms, you are responsible for selecting a secure password and keeping that password confidential. You should choose a password which you do not use on any other site, and you should not share it with anyone else.
Sharing your personal information
We only share personal information with others when we are permitted by law to do so. When we share personal information with others, we put contractual arrangements and security mechanisms in place to protect the personal information shared and to comply with our data protection, confidentiality and security standards and obligations. We share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances:
Our affiliated group companies: We may share your personal information with our affiliated group companies for the purposes specified above, where we are permitted by law to do so (including where we have a lawful basis to do so).
Service providers (including data processors): We will disclose your personal information to our appointed third party service providers (which may process your personal information as data processors on our behalf), including for the purposes of providing online and other payment services, handling credit checks and fraud prevention, product shipment, cloud storage and any other services required in order for us to use your personal information for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. In certain circumstances, certain fraud-prevention service providers consider themselves to be independent data controllers.
Regulatory, authority and other third party disclosures: We will disclose your personal information to any law enforcement agency, court, police, regulator, government authority or any other third party, including a relevant financial institution, where we believe this is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, to protect our rights or the rights of any third party, or where it is otherwise in the public interest or our legitimate interests or those of a third party (for example to respond to a request from a third party to disclose personal information to investigate an alleged crime, to check that we are complying with applicable law and regulations, or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights). In addition, we may share your data with insurance providers and/or lost or stolen organisations to facilitate the recovery of any lost or stolen items.
Mergers & acquisitions: We will disclose your personal information to any third party that purchases, or to which we transfer, all or substantially all of our assets and business. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to ensure that the entity to which we transfer your personal information uses it in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Social media platforms and other third party digital vendors: We may share your personal information with social media platforms as explained above or in the Cookie Policy.
Transferring your personal information globally
For Individuals in Europe: If the country we transfer your personal information to does not provide an adequate level of data protection, we have implemented standard contractual clauses to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information where it is transferred to our affiliated companies, boutiques or third party service providers in territories outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. While other territories may not have the same standards of data protection as those within your home country, we will continue to protect the personal information we transfer in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
For individuals outside of Europe: Personal information we collect may be transferred to, stored and processed in any country or territory where one or more of our affiliated group companies or any third party listed in the section headed “Sharing your personal information” above are located or maintain facilities. Some of these third parties will use cloud-based storage solutions. While other territories may not have the same standards of data protection as those within your home country, we will continue to protect the personal information we transfer in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Privacy risk assessments
We may periodically conduct risk assessments related to the processing of your personal information, especially when introducing new technologies or functionalities. In certain circumstances, these new technologies or functionalities may require us to provide enhanced privacy notices and/or consent forms to ensure that we continue to meet our privacy commitments towards you.
Retaining your personal information
We keep your personal information only for as long as is necessary for our purposes of processing, and in particular to protect ourselves in the event of a legal claim (for example, information relating to a contract with you will be kept for the lifetime of the contract and up to ten years after) as well as necessary to comply with statutory retention obligations. After this period it will be deleted or in some cases anonymised. Where we have your consent to process your personal information and we have no other lawful basis to continue with that processing, if you subsequently withdraw your consent we will delete your personal information.
If you request that we no longer send you direct marketing communications or you exercise your right to be forgotten, we will keep a record of your request and contact details to ensure that your request is respected.

In Canada, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant provincial privacy commissioner for your province of residence. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns before you approach the supervisory authority, so please contact us first.
Transferring your personal information globally. In a case falling under any of the following items, information that we collect may be transferred to, stored and processed in any country or territory where one or more of our affiliated group companies or third party service providers are located or maintain facilities. Some of these third parties will use cloud-based storage solutions. While other territories may not have the same standards of data protection as those within your home country, we will continue to protect the personal information we transfer in accordance with this Privacy Policy: (i) if our affiliated group companies or third-party service providers are located in a foreign country prescribed by rules of the Personal Information Protection Commission as a foreign country, establishing a personal information protection system recognised to have equivalent standards to those in Japan with regard to the protection of an individual’s rights and interests; or (ii) if necessary, measures are taken with the relevant affiliated group companies or third-party service providers to ensure the continuous implementation of measures equivalent to those that should be taken by the business operator handling personal information. For details, please contact us at the address provided in the “Contact us” section.
