You have the option to refuse the use of your personal data for electronic direct marketing purposes at the time we collect this data from you or at any time thereafter.

For the purposes mentioned above, we may share your personal data with third parties. The third parties to whom we may disclose your personal data include:

• Our external suppliers, service providers, and partners who provide data processing services to us, or who process personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as notified to you when we collect your personal data. This may include communication with our partners who decorate or resell our clothing, transport and logistics providers, and other service providers we use in connection with the services they provide to us, including IT platform management support or support services, infrastructure or application services, credit rating, marketing, and data analysis;
• Any relevant law enforcement agency, regulator, government authority, court, or other third parties where such disclosure is necessary (i) under applicable law, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of another person;
• Our accountants, advisors, legal representatives, and similar agents in connection with advisory services they provide to us for legitimate business purposes and under a contractual prohibition on using personal data for other purposes;
• Any potential buyer (and their agents and advisors) in connection with a proposed purchase, merger, or acquisition of any part of our business;
• Any other person when you have provided your prior consent to the disclosure.

We will ensure that, where relevant, contractual safeguards are implemented to protect your personal data when providing it to a third party. For example, we will enter into data processing agreements with relevant parties that impose restrictions on the use of your personal data and obligations regarding the protection and security of your personal data, and will only provide your personal data to recipients we trust.

The parties to whom we may disclose your personal data may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in countries that may offer a lower level of data protection than the country in which we are located. For example, this may be the case for some of our IT service providers or when your order requires us to rely on transport and logistics providers outside the EEA.

In such cases, measures are taken to ensure adequate protection of your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Generally, we will enter into Standard Contractual Clauses (as approved by the European Commission) with the recipient of your personal data. You can contact us by sending an email or a letter to the contact details below if you would like to receive a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses or review other adequate safeguards that have been implemented.

Your personal data will not be kept longer than necessary for the purposes for which we process it. Only when we are legally required or when it is necessary to defend our interests in legal proceedings (e.g., in case of a dispute), will we retain the personal data for longer periods.

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal data. Specific measures we use may include data anonymization and encryption where appropriate (particularly when transferring your personal data or when the purposes of our processing can be achieved with anonymized personal data).

Furthermore, we strive to keep your personal data accurate and up-to-date. In this regard, we kindly request that you inform us of any changes to your personal data (such as a change in your contact details).

You have the right to request that we correct or complete your incorrect or incomplete personal data without undue delay.

Right to Erasure of Your Personal Data (‘Right to Be Forgotten’)
You can request that we erase your personal data or a portion of your personal data in the following situations:

• When the processing is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
• When the processing is based on your consent and you have decided to withdraw that consent;
• When you object to the processing of your personal data within the limits of exercising your right to object;
• In the case that we unlawfully processed your personal data; or
• When your personal data needs to be erased to comply with a legal obligation imposed on us.

Please note that we may refuse to erase your personal data: (i) if justified by the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information; (ii) for compliance with a legal obligation; or (iii) for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to Restrict Processing
You can request that we permanently or temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data in the following situations:

Right to Object to the Processing of Your Personal Data (Free of Charge)
When we process your personal data based on our 'legitimate interests', you can object to the processing of your personal data, provided that you provide grounds related to your particular situation. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to do so, or where such processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. When we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests for direct marketing purposes or based on Article 1 of the Royal Decree of April 4, 2003, you can object to this processing at any time without any justification. You also have the right not to be subjected to profiling for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Data Portability
In some cases, you have the right to receive all your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and the right to transfer those data to another controller. This right applies:

• In the case that the processing is based on consent or the necessity for the performance of a contract; and
• In the case that the processing is carried out by automated means.

Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority regarding our processing of your personal data.
