HOW WE COLLECT AND USE INFORMATION
We limit our collection of personal information to information relevant to the purposes described in the "How We Use Your Information" section below.
Providing your personal information to us is voluntary, however, if you do not provide some or all of the information we request, we may not be able to provide you with certain products, services or information. All the personal information we collect is necessary to fulfill a legitimate business purpose (i.e., as part of our contractual relationship with you) or otherwise collected with your express consent, which you have the right to withdraw at any time.
When you use the Site
When you use the Site to browse products or services offered, use our services and view the information we make available, a number of cookies are used by us and by third parties to allow the website to function, to collect useful information about visitors and to help to make your user experience better.
For more information about our use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
When you submit an enquiry via the Site
When you submit an enquiry via the Site, email, phone or otherwise, we may ask you for information that will allow us to respond to your query, or otherwise resolve the problem you may have. Information we ask for will be solely that which is relevant to your enquiry, and may include, among other things, your name, order number (if applicable), contact telephone number, sizing information and email address.
We use this information to respond to your query, including providing you with any requested information about the products and services offered in the Site. We may also ask you for additional information that may be required in order to fulfill or complete an order on the Site or otherwise as may be necessary to resolve the matter for which you contacted us, including clarifications on shipping address or asking for measurements of clothing in order to advise on sizing. We may email or contact you several times after your enquiry in order to follow up on your interest and ensure that we have resolved any issues to your satisfaction. We will do this based on our legitimate interest in providing accurate information and customer support in relation to our services and products offered.
Your enquiry is stored and processed through a third-party Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software provider that ensures that we do not miss any messages from you and that we follow through on your enquiries until they are resolved. We use the same third-party service provider to provide the software that we use to communicate with you on the Live Chat function of the Site, which transfers the details of the chat to the same CRM system.
We do not use the information you provide in these enquiries to make any automated decisions that might affect you.
We keep enquiry emails for two years, after which they are securely archived and kept for [seven] years, when we delete them. CRM records are kept for three years after the last contact with you.
When you purchase a product or service from our website
When you purchase products or services from our Site, we ask you for your name, address, contact telephone number, email address and credit card information. We also collect information on your product or service preferences based on your purchases, and record your IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is the address of your computer on the Internet.
We will use your information to verify your credit card details for your purchase, process your order and to send you your products or provide services to you. We will also send you a confirmation and receipt via email and we may use your telephone number to contact you regarding your purchase.
We require this information in order to process your payment, deliver your products or services and for us to fulfil our contract with you. We record your IP address in order to prevent abuse, to not violate our contractual obligations (and in turn their contractual obligations to third-parties), and, where applicable, to calculate the tax that applies to a sale, which is required to do so by law.
In some cases, we may also collect information you provide about others, such as when you purchase a gift card for someone and request that we deliver it electronically, create and share a "wish list" or decide to purchase a service and/or ship products to someone else. We will use this information to fulfill your requests and will not send marketing communications to your contacts unless they separately consent to receive communications from us. Some of your information (only to the extent necessary to fulfill a purchase or effectuate a return/exchange) will be shared with our courier partners in order to effectuate the delivery of the product to you or the return/exchange to us.
We may, from time to time, run referral programs or similar initiatives, such as a "Tell a Friend" program, that invite you to provide us with the name and email address of someone who is known to you who may find our products or services to be of interest. We will only use those contact details for the purpose of the relevant initiative (and not for general marketing purposes). By providing us with their details, you confirm that you have their permission to do so and must not provide us with the details of anyone from whom you do not have such permission. We reserve the right to identify you as the person who has made the referral in the message that is sent to them.
In other instances, we will collect via email identification proof required by the third-party service provider we utilize to prevent fraudulent transactions and chargebacks. This is required in order to be able to process your payment and complete the desired purchase on the Site. This is necessary for us to enter into the contract of sale with you. You are not obligated to provide this information. However, if not provided, your payment may not be completed with the payment method you chose to use, and the transaction will be rejected.
Your information is stored on our website and on our cloud servers, and may be transferred and stored at other locations, including Japan. Payment details you provide will be encrypted using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology before they are submitted to us over the Internet. We do not retain or store your credit card information. Your credit card details are passed to our third-party payment providers from time to time. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to such payment provider which acts as an autonomous data controller and operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorising payment.
Information submitted by you may be transferred by us to our other offices, Lingble and/or to the third parties mentioned in the circumstances described in this Privacy Policy. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the processing of payment details and the provision of support services. Where we transfer your information we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is subject to appropriate safeguards and that it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
We do not use the information you provide when purchasing on the Site to make any automated decisions that might affect you.
We keep your order information for an indefinite period, as the licenses we sell for our products do not expire.
When you sign up for our newsletter
When you sign up for our newsletter we collect your email address and receive consent for us to send you direct marketing and information that we think customers and visitors of the Site may be interested in. Information may include announcements of special promotions and sales, new products, services or brands and new blog posts, among others.
Your email address is necessary in order to deliver these communications to you. Your email address is shared with a third-party email marketing software provider, which allows us to prepare visually appealing communications and email automations depending on your behavior on the site (for example, we may send you a reminder email to visit the Site when you haven’t shopped on the Site for a certain period of time).
You may withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter or other emails at any time by clicking Unsubscribe at the bottom of any of our emails. Please allow approximately 10 business days for any opt-out requests to be processed.
Please note that even if you opt out of receiving promotional communications, we may continue to send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
When you consent to receiving marketing materials from us
Depending on the applicable legislation, we may send you information about our products and services that we feel may interest you, (i) if you have indicated your consent to receiving marketing material from us, including but not limited to, newsletters, information on products, services, promotions and invitations to events, or (ii) considering our business legitimate interest to send you offers for products or services similar to the ones you purchase from our website. We may provide the marketing materials via traditional mail, e-mail, telephone, text, WhatsApp, WeChat, SMS and MMS messaging (as applicable), including but not limited to, newsletters, information on products, services, promotions and invitations to events. You can, at any time, indicate the preferred method of contact among those listed above and you may withdraw consent or object to receiving promotional communications through all or only some of the methods of contact mentioned above, on the occasion of each communication by clicking “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any of our communications or by contacting us any time at gramicci-global-au@lingble.com. Your refusal to provide consent to receiving marketing material from us, where needed, will not influence the business relationship between you and us and will not have a negative impact on you.
When you participate in a contest, sweepstake, promotion, rewards or surveys
When you participate in a contest, sweepstake, promotion, survey or similar promotional activity (“Promotions”) on or in connection with the Site, you agree to the terms of the Promotion and enter into a contractual relationship with us that is limited to the purpose of that Promotion. The only information we collect in relation to any such Promotions is that which is sufficient to fulfil the obligations and purposes of the contractual relationship. Information provided in connection with any such promotions may include email addresses, personal preferences and personal views, photos, videos or other media or content.
We do not use the information you provide when participating in promotions to make any automated decisions that might affect you.
When you submit a review about us or our products or services or upload a photo or other content on the Site
When you submit a review about us or about a product or service, or when you upload a photo or other content (“Member Content”) on the Site we may record your IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is the address of your computer on the Internet, and a Nickname of your choice.
We use this information to provide verified independent views about the products and services we offer to potential customers and to ensure that the Member Content you provide does not violate our Terms and Conditions. Your Name or Nickname of choice and Member Content (but not your IP address) may be publicly displayed on our website and used and shared in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Site. We will do this based on our legitimate interest in marketing our products and services.
We do not use the information you provide to make any automated decisions that might affect you.
Your personal data is stored for as long as we are marketing the product or services that the review refers to, after which it is deleted. You may ask us to remove any information or Member Content that may be reasonably used to personally identify you at any time by emailing us at gramicci-global-au@lingble.com.
