The Personal Data collected and the related purposes of processing depend on how you interact with us and how you manage Cookie settings, Browser and the Device you are using. 

Personal Data you provide
To access certain areas of our platform, you might need to register your account with us. During the registration process you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself for the essential purpose of fulfilling purchaser orders (such as your full name, delivery address and payment information required for your order to be actioned) and to enable us to comply with our contractual obligations. It is the case, for example, when you use our Services, make purchases in Our Shops, complete Our Forms or when you ask us questions before or after sale, make requests, interact with our support services or participate in our surveys. 

You can provide us with Personal Data such as your name, phone/mobile number(s), date of birth, gender, e-mail address, postal address, payment and billing information, as well as your preferences (e.g., size or particular colours of your purchase history). You can also choose to provide us with Information about your location if, for example, you want to search for one of Our Shops in a particular location (e.g., London, Milan, Paris, etc.) or when you order our products. 

If you provide us with the personal data of third parties (e.g., postal addresses or payment data of third parties for a gift), you will be held responsible for having shared such information with us. You must be legally authorized to share it (i.e., authorized by the third party to share their information or otherwise permitted). You must fully indemnify us against any complaints, claims or demands for compensation of damages which may arise from the processing of third-party Personal Data in violation of applicable data protection law.

Where we need to collect personal data under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods). In this case, we may have to cancel the contract you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time. 

Personal Data collected by the Browser and the Device 
When you use Our Pages, we collect information on the Browser and the Device you are using in order to enable and improve user navigation. The processing of such browsing data allows users to access the website and fully enjoy its features and services.  ‘Browsing Data’ includes your IP Address, the date/time of the visit and its length, and the requested URL, Unique Identifiers and other information such as the type of your Browser or Device. Information related to your Browser or Device may also include your operating system, language, network settings, telephone operator or internet provider, installed third-party applications and plug-in lists. 

Some of this information is collected using Cookies, SDK and Other Tracking Technologies that are on your Browser or Device. This helps us, for instance, to avoid malfunctions during the provision of the Services, and allows us to provide you with Content that may be useful to you. You can find the complete list of Cookies and SDK we use here.

You can set your Browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Policy here.

Personal Data inferred by your activity
We collect information based on your online and offline interactions with our Services in order to improve them and to identify Content that may be useful to you.  This happens, for example, when you are interested in a particular product and you place it in your shopping cart, when you click on a specific section on Our Pages, or when you complete Our Forms. In such cases, we will attempt to provide you with relevant content. To manage your Personal Data, please see the cookie settings here.

In other cases, such as when you contact us by email, mail, telephone or otherwise regarding our products or request other information, we will collect and maintain a record of your contact details, communications and our responses. If you contact us by telephone, more information will be provided during the call. Please note that phone calls may be recorded for security, training or monitoring purposes. 

Information about your location
We process information about your location to allow you to view Our Shops near you, and to provide you with Content that may be useful to you. Your location can be determined by manually entering an address, city or zip code or by checking your IP Address.

Your location is determined - more or less accurately - depending on whether it is collected from the Browser or Device (e.g., IP address, device language or language chosen by the user) and on the privacy settings you have set on them. We make every possible effort to ensure that Information on your location is not used to infer your Sensitive Data.

You can limit our collection of your position by changing your cookie settings, as set out in the “How to control your Personal Data and manage your choices” section below.

You may find further details on the reasons why we process your Personal Data in the “Why we use your Personal Data” section below.

Information about CCTV in Retail Stores 
In our retail stores, we operate CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) to prevent and prosecute crime, uphold the security and protection of our customers, members of the public, employees and our property and products. CCTV recordings will be accessed only for such limited purposes, and data gathered will not be used for any other purpose. Our legal basis for processing personal data in this context is our legitimate interest in ensuring that there is an adequate level of security in our stores. To the extent that any criminal offence data is processed, our legal basis will be preventing or detecting unlawful acts. We store CCTV footage only for as long as necessary for the maximum period permitted by law. CCTV footage will not be transferred or shared outside of the UK, where it is recorded in the UK, or outside of the EU/EEA where it is recorded in the EU/EEA. 
 


4.    THIRD PARTIES WE COLLECT DATA FROM

Third parties we collect data from
  

We may ask third-party business partners (e.g., social media, network advertisers, co-branding companies, etc.) to send or display our advertisements to their users on the basis of certain criteria/interests, and we may use third party analytics to evaluate and provide us with information about the viewing of ads and our content. These so-called micro-targeting and/or retargeting activities typically do not lead to the direct collection of Personal Data by us. Instead, they usually allow us to obtain Aggregate Information such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose, on the effectiveness of those advertisements or lead to the registration of new users or new followers. In accordance with European legislation, in carrying out these activities both VW and our business partners make reasonable effort to verify the conformity of the data (including joint controllership agreements) before they are used. You can request more information on our list of active commercial partners and the obligations of the respective parties by writing to privacy@viviennewestwood.com
Third party tracking technologies are not controlled by us, even if they are associated with our platforms or our ads. Statements regarding our policies do not apply to the methods of collecting information used by the third parties and users are encouraged to read their own policies regarding their collection, storage and sharing practices.

Personal Data collected from public or publicly accessible sources
We may collect or enrich your Personal Data with information obtained from third parties and public sources accessible within the limits of the law applicable to us. These sources may include data brokers, public registers, online newspapers, lists or public directories. Please note that a preliminary check is always carried out on the possibility to use this information, according to the best practices established by the competent Supervisory Authorities to which we are subject. (Mainly the Information Commissioners Office and the Italian Garante)

This is used to guarantee the best services and on our legitimate interest in avoiding any service disruptions to our customers.

Contractual obligation may be relied upon to provide a service to our customers or by our vendors to process your data.

•    Legal Obligation – we may be required to process your personal data in line with the legal requirements and legislation. This lawful basis requires us to process and collect personal data in line with legal provisions. We may rely on this for tax and legal purposes.

 5.    WHY WE USE YOUR DATA
 
Why we use your Data

Providing our Services and related support
We use your Data – that you might also communicate to us by completing Our Forms – to offer you our Services; to allow you to create your account; to respond to your requests/suggestions/reports; to process your requests for remote sales appointments, stylist appointments or other boutique services; to verify and process a purchase you have made, using your Personal Data (e.g., name, contact information and information voluntarily provided by you) to communicate with you in connection with any prize draws and contests in which you choose to participate.

This processing is based on the execution of a contractual obligation or pre-contractual measures taken at your request. If you do not provide you Data, we may not be capable to provide you with our Services.

     
Complying with legal obligations

We may use your Data to comply with legal and tax obligations to which we are subject, which form the legal basis of this processing. If you do not provide you Data, we may not be capable to provide you with our Services or fulfil the obligations we are subject to.

     
Detecting anomalies and improving our Services
We use Data you provide, Data collected by the Browser and the Device, Data inferred by your activities and Aggregated Information in order to avoid anomalies in our Services. For example, we may detect anomalies when you open one of Our Pages, access a link, or when a bug is present in our system.

The processing is based on our need to guarantee the best Services and on our legitimate interest in avoiding any service disruptions. If you do not provide you Data, we may not be capable to assure the quality of our Services. 

Customizing our Services including any Content that may be useful to you:
We use your Data, in particular Data inferred by your activities, Shopping Data, Data collected by third parties, Information about your location and Data collected by the Browser and the Device, to improve our Services (e.g., Our Pages, Our Forms), our marketing communications and to show Content that may be useful to you. For example, we may display a specific product according to your clicks, views, follows, tags.  

Content that may be useful to you: 
•    is not created using Sensitive Data such as that which may be derived from Information about your location; 
•    may also be visible on websites and mobile applications other than Our Pages once uploaded to Programmatic Advertising or social media platforms to the extent that you have authorised us and such third parties to do so. 

The customization of our Services and the provision of Content that may be useful to you may be more or less accurate depending on the consent(s) you have given, which you may or may not decide to provide through:

•    the banner that appears when you first visit Our Pages concerning the Data collected by the Browser and the Device, and the Information about your location; 

•    data collection forms, in which we ask you to express your preferences regarding the Data you provide us with, the Data inferred by your activities; 

•    the preferences in your social media accounts. 

If you do not wish to receive personalized Services or Content that may be useful to you, you can change your preferences, as explained in the “How to control your Data and manage your choices” section below. You may still see our ads on content, but they will not be tailored to your interests if you do not provide your Personal Data or consents. 

In other cases, we may rely on our legitimate interest to customize in a minimally privacy impactful manner our communications and Services. This occurs for instance when we know you might not be interested in certain products based on your previous purchase history or to remind you about abandoned charts. 
     
Analysing and improving our Services and creating new services and features
We use your Data and Aggregated Information to measure the performance of our Services and to create new ones. This can be done, for example, through the analysis of your interactions with Our Page, your purchase history and/or marketing communications (if requested).   

Except for your consent to the customization of our Services, measuring the effectiveness of our Services and the creation of new Services is based on our legitimate interest in creating and maintaining Services that are truly useful to our customers.

Sending you marketing communications 
We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.  

If you decide to sign up to our newsletter and marketing communications, we use the personal data you provide us with and those collected by third parties in order to send you communications about our products and the Services we offer, abandoned carts, our newsletter, information about our initiatives and/or to ask you to participate in our surveys. Users may also be invited to submit personal information in addition to their e-mail address (e.g. gender, country of residence), for the purpose of having their communications personally tailored to their user profile. The main purpose of profiling is to propose products and services and initiatives more suited to the tastes, shopping habits and interests of our customers and this data allows VW to improve the site and personalisation of the products offered. In some cases, communications may include products or service promotions from selected co-branded companies (without sharing your Data with them). Such communications are sent by VW and may also be customized if we have a legal basis such as consent for the customization of Services, including Content that may be useful to you.  

If you have already purchased one of our products, we may send you targeted marketing communications for products in a similar category or price range. This processing is based on our legitimate interest to send promotions pertaining similar products via e-mail (so-called soft opt-in).  

In other cases, no communication will be sent to you without your prior consent, which you can provide through specific tick-boxes for this purpose. If you do not provide you Data, consents or object to this processing, you will not receive any marketing communication. 

You can always easily withdraw your consent from receiving newsletters and commercial communications in the following ways:
•    Through your account settings;
•    By clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any such email received; 
•    By writing to privacy@viviennewestwood.com; and/or
•    By contacting our Customer Service Team. 
     
Protecting our interests and your interests
We may need to use your Data to detect, react to, and prevent fraudulent and illegal behaviour or activities which could compromise the security of our Services. This could be the case when you use Our Pages in ways other than as permitted. This purpose also includes audits and assessments of our business operations, security controls, financial controls, records and information management program, and otherwise relating to the administration of our general business, accounting, record keeping and legal functions.

These purposes rest on our legitimate interest in safeguarding our interests and protecting our users, including you.
