3. Who collects and processes Your Personal Data, how and for which purposes?

The Company may collect and process your Personal Data for a variety of different purposes.

Your Personal Data may be processed to provide the e-commerce services you subscribed to or reserved for registered users, notably to fulfill orders that you have placed for goods or services through the Website, to contact you in relation to any issues with your order or where we need to provide your Personal Data to our service providers in relation to your orders of products and more generally anything related to our commercial relationship (herein the "Commercial Purposes"). Dries Van Noten shall be considered as the controller of your Personal Data collected and processed on the Website for Commercial Purposes, as it determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data for such Commercial Purposes.

Your Personal Data may also be processed for marketing purposes, notably to send to users, also through newsletter, commercial communications, information and updates on our products, offers, samplings, exclusive sales, promotional campaigns and on events and similar initiatives organized by Dries Van Noten and/or any companies of Puig Group, or to facilitate your navigation on the Website (herein the "Marketing Purposes"). Dries Van Noten shall be considered as the controller of your Personal Data collected and processed on the Website for Marketing Purposes, as it determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data for such Marketing Purposes.

For the above-mentioned purposes, Dries Van Noten has appointed certain entities that will also process Personal Data relating to the Website’s Users (herein the "Processors").

The above-mentioned service providers and Processors have been chosen because of their experience in processing Personal Data and they provide sufficient guarantees regarding compliance with Data Protection Legislation (including the technical security measures governing the processing to be carried out). In processing the Personal Data for Commercial Purposes, the Processors shall act only under the instructions from Dries Van Noten. We regularly check that our Processors comply with our instructions and that they continue to provide sufficient guarantees regarding their full compliance with Data Protection Legislation on Personal Data processing.

The Processors of your Personal Data for the above-mentioned purposes are:

Company’s Customer service, for purposes related to the shipping, delivery and return of products purchased on the Website and customer service to users of the Website;
Computer services, for purposes related to hosting Company’s servers;
Payment platforms, for purposes related to the payment method and its execution;
Logistic services, for purposes related to shipping and delivery and return of the products purchased on the Website.
Marketing services, for the analysis of use of our Website, sending communications, managing advertising content, etc.

Your Personal Data is mostly processed by electronic means and, in some circumstances, by paper-based means, such as when the processing of your Personal Data is required for preventing fraud on the Website. Your Personal Data shall be stored in a way which allows us to identify you for the period necessary for the purposes which the data was collected for and subsequently processed and, in any case, in accordance with Data Protection Legislation. Your Personal Data shall not be disclosed to third-parties other than us for purposes which are not permitted by law or without your consent.

Aside from the Processors appointed for Personal Data processing, your Personal Data will be made available also to third-parties, autonomous controllers, for purposes related to supplying services requested by Users (for example, for purchase transactions) or for purposes of third-parties. For more information on the matter, see section 6 (To Whom Your Personal Data Will Be Disclosed).

For the Marketing Purposes, we may process your Personal Data as well as browsing data ("Traffic data") resulting from the use of the Website and of our services by any User, in order to provide Users with customized contents and offers on our services or to deliver any newsletter they subscribed to, subject to their discretionary right to withdraw their subscription to such newsletter or to oppose or object to the receiving of any advertising or marketing content which we think is of interest to a specific User. For Marketing Purposes, Personal Data and Traffic data is mostly processed by electronic means and shall be stored for us in any case, in accordance with Data Protection Legislation and available to our Processors.

Moreover, your Personal Data may be disclosed to the public authorities (e.g. police, judicial) according to applicable laws and upon a formal request by such entities, for example in the event we need to prevent fraud on the Site (anti-fraud services).

Data processors will also have access to your Personal Data as stated in section 4 for the specific purposes stated therein. In all the above circumstances, your consent for data processing is not required as Personal Data Processing would be necessary for the performance of Commercial Purposes.

The reasons for collecting Personal Data will be expressly listed in the information of privacy statement that we will present from time to time on the page asking the User to provide his or her Personal Data, be it for Commercial Purposes or for Marketing Purposes. We may have access to third-parties' Personal Data which was directly disclosed by its Users, for example when a User bought a product to be sent to a friend, when the User paying for the product is different from the recipient of the product, or when a User wishes to recommend to a friend a service of the Website or the sale of a particular product.

In all of the above cases, please make sure you receive the consent of such individuals before disclosing their Personal Data to us and make sure you inform them about this Privacy Policy; you will be the only person liable in connection with the disclosure of information and data regarding such third-parties if they have not provided you with their prior explicit consent for it and for any improper and unlawful use of that information. In any event, we shall fulfil any obligation to inform third-parties required by law and, when necessary, shall request their explicit consent upon registering in their archives the Personal Data of the User indicated.

4. On which legal basis are your personal data processed?

The processing of your Personal Data is justified on different grounds (legal basis) depending on the use that Company makes of the Personal Data.

In some cases, Company asks for your consent in order to process your Personal Data.

However, in certain circumstances, Data Protection Legislation allows us to process your Personal Data without the need to obtain your consent.

You will find below the legal grounds and retention periods that Company applies to its main processing operations:

Consent: you agree to the processing of your Personal Data by means of an express consent (check box, click ...). You can withdraw this consent at any time;
The contract: the processing of Personal Data is necessary for the execution of the contract to which you have consented;
The legitimate interest: Company has a commercial interest to treat your data. This interest is justified, balanced and does not affect your privacy. Except exception, you can at any time oppose to a processing based on the legitimate interest by informing Company.
The law: the processing of your Personal Data is made compulsory by the applicable regulation.

Purpose of the processing	Legal basis	Retention period
Commercial purposes	Contract	5 years from the date of order
Marketing purposes	Consent	3 years from the last activity
Exercise of data rights	Law	5 years from the date of request

5. What Happens if You Do Not Disclose Your Personal Data to us?

Granting your Personal Data to us (in particular, your personal details, your e-mail address, your address, your Credit/Debit Card numbers and bank code and your telephone number) is necessary for processing your order for the purchase of products on the Website, supplying other services provided on the Website upon your request, or when your Personal Data is needed to fulfil obligations required by law or regulations. The refusal to provide us with some of your Personal Data necessary for performing the above purposes may consequently prevent us from processing your order for the purchase of products sold on the Website or fulfilling obligations required by law and other regulations. Therefore, failing to provide Personal Data may constitute, in some cases, a legitimate and justified reason for not processing your order for the purchase of products sold on the Website or not providing the Website’s services.

Disclosure of further Personal Data to us other than that required for fulfilling legal or contractual obligations and to properly browse our services with necessary traffic data is, on the contrary, optional and does not have any effect on the use of the Website and of its services or on the purchase of products on the Website. We will inform you at every step whether disclosing your Personal Data to us is compulsory or optional by marking with an appropriate symbol (*) the information that is compulsory or data needed for the purchase of products on the Website.

6. To whom your Personal Data will be disclosed?

Personal Data will be disclosed to third-party companies that provide, on behalf of the Company, specific services as data Processors or to other recipients of Personal Data collected by us that process your Personal Data only for the Commercial Purposes and, in any case, according to applicable laws and regulations.

Your Personal Data is also intended to the companies belonging to Puig’s Group, with registered offices in EU countries or non-EU countries, for their own Marketing Purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Personal Data will not be disclosed to any other third-parties or disseminated or transferred without informing our Users of such disclosure/dissemination/transfer, and, in any case, in accordance with the applicable laws.

7. Security Measures and length of conservation

We have adopted security measures to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all other reasons for data processing that do not comply with our Privacy Policy.

For the best possible protection of your Personal Data outside the limits of our control and management of the same, it is advisable that your computer be provided with software devices that protect network data transmission/receipt (such as updated antivirus systems) and that your Internet service provider take appropriate measures for the security of network data transmission (such as, for example, firewalls and anti-spam filtering).

We will only hold your Personal Data for so long as is necessary for us to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice. Where we no longer need to process your Personal Data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, then we will delete your Personal Data from our system.

8. Transfer of your Personal Data to other countries

The Personal Data we collect from you is currently held within the European Union (‘EU’). However, it is possible that in the future such Personal Data may be transferred, stored and/or processed outside the EU.

By submitting your Personal Data, you agree to this transfer, storing and/or processing. You should be aware that countries outside the EU may not offer the same level of data protection as the EU. However, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Data is given equivalent protection in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation, in particular by implementing adequate contractual conditions in our agreements with business partners dealing with transfer of Personal Data to ensure that Personal Data are processed according to our instructions, and in such a way to maintain their integrity and security.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months, or longer if the period requested starts no earlier than January 1, 2022 provided that our fulfilment of such request is possible and is not unduly burdensome.

The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:

sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

Deletion & Correction Request Rights

You have the right to request that we delete or correct any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will correct or delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We may deny your correction request if we determine that the information that you are seeking to correct is accurate, we cannot verify your identity, or your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, Correction and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, correction and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by email at contact@driesvannoten.com

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

When handling requests to correct, we may require you to provide documentation that rebuts the information that we have on file. In determining whether such documentation is necessary, we will have regard to:

(A) The nature of the personal information at issue (e.g., whether it is objective, subjective, unstructured, sensitive, etc.).

(B) The nature of the documentation upon which we consider the personal information to be accurate (e.g., whether the documentation is from a trusted source, whether the documentation is verifiable, etc.)

(C) The purpose for which we collect, maintain, or use the personal information. For example, if the personal information is essential to the functioning of our business, we may require more documentation.

(D) The impact on you. For example, if the personal information has a negative impact on you, we may require less documentation.

We may delete the contested personal information as an alternative to correcting the information if the deletion of the personal information does not negatively impact you or where you consent to the deletion.

When responding to a request to correct, we will inform you whether we have complied with your question to correct, and if we have not, we will provide the basis for such action.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
