Introduction

Here at iClothing we take privacy and security of personal data very seriously and are committed to protecting and respecting the privacy and security to our users (collectively, “our users” or “they” or “their” or “them”). The Privacy Notice below explains how we collect and use personal data. It applies to personal data collected when our users use our website, our app and when they interact with us through email, social media, customer support chat or when they participate in our competitions or events.

By personal data we mean ‘personally identifiable information’. This is any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains. This includes but is not limited to: name; address; phone number; email; personal identification number; and credit card information. Personally identifiable information does not include information that is collected anonymously (that is, without identification of the individual user) or demographic information not connected to an identified individual.

For all our services, the data controller (the entity responsible for collecting and managing their data privacy) is ABJB Ltd. – trading as www.iclothing.com (collectively, "iClothing” or “we” or “us” or “our”).

If you are one of our users and have any questions about how we protect your data privacy and security, please get in touch at privacy@iclothing.com.

Securing our users’ information

At iClothing, we adopt ‘data minimisation’ principles in how we collect and store data. What we mean by this is that our users’ personal data is only accessible by employees of iClothing, our service providers and other third parties that are critical for us in providing our services to them.

iClothing takes appropriate organisational safeguards and security measures to protect our users’ data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We also take all reasonable measures to ensure we maintain a secure website, electronic communications and databases, including:

  • Our website runs on SSL enabled technology, meaning the communication between our users’ browser and our website uses a secure encrypted connection.
  • We audit our IT systems and data protection processes on a regular basis.
  • We carry out Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) to manage our risks in relation to data privacy.
  • We maintain a data privacy risk register.
  • All of iClothing’s employees are trained with our security policy and practices, as well as the fundamentals of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • All personal data of our users is only accessible to those that are required to see it to perform their roles.   
  • We have written, legal agreements in place with our service providers that covers the collection or use of our users’ personal data. As part of these agreements, we require any third party who is contracted to process your personal data on our behalf to have security measures in place to protect your data and to treat such data in accordance with the law.
  • We use data minimisation techniques such as pseudonymisation in our customer database.
  • For sensitive information, such as credit card numbers entered at the time of purchase, we use encryption protocols and PCI DSS compliant service providers to protect this information being sent over the Internet.

User Generated Content information

If we reach out to you on social media to feature your content on our social channels. it means we love your look!

If you (or anyone in the featured content) asks us to remove the content, we will remove the content from the social media accounts that we control and also remove the content from the website, if it is featured.

    You understand and are aware that users of these social media platforms can also share and use the content once it has been posted. For example, a user of these platforms can easily take a screenshot of the content and save an image of the content to their device, share the content on social media platforms or websites which feature the content (and possibly provide sharing access.). If you do not want to grant the permissions set out above then please do not give us your consent to use the content.

Sharing our users’ information

iClothing does not sell any of our users’ personal data to any third party – including their name, address, email address or credit card information.

However, we may share our users’ personal data with some of our service providers and other third parties that are critical for us to provide our services to them. Service providers and third parties we may share data with include:

  • Our service providers that facilitate getting our users’ orders to them, such as payment service providers, order labelling providers, and delivery companies (e.g. An Post).
  • Our professional service providers, such as marketing partners, data processors, customer support partners and website hosts, who help us run our business.
  • Third parties approved by our users, such as social media sites (e.g. if they decide to link their Facebook account to us).
  • Third parties that help us monitor fraudulent activity such as law enforcement agencies. We may disclose our users’ personal data in order to comply with a court order or a request from a law enforcement agency to release such information.

We may also use data privacy techniques such as anonymisation and/or pseudonymisation (so that it protects our users’ identity) and aggregate personal information to use it for purposes such as:

  • Testing our IT infrastructure;
  • Improving our website; and
  • Trends and product analysis.

We may also share this information with our service providers who are helping us facilitate such activities.

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach on our part or one of our service providers, we will notify our users and any applicable regulator when we are legally required to do so.

Marketing messages

If our users have given us prior consent, we may send them marketing messages by email or text, to keep them aware of what we’re up to and to help them see and find our products.

Our users have a number of mechanisms they can use to stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time. To do this, they can simply complete one of the following actions:

  1. Our users can use the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any of our marketing emails.
  2. Our users can contact us at privacy@iclothing.com and we will process this request for them.

Once they complete the request to stop receiving marketing messages, their profile will be updated to ensure that they don’t receive further marketing messages.

However, consideration needs to be given for the fact that iClothing has a number of IT systems and service providers, so it might take a reasonable period of time for our users’ request to be fulfilled, typically a few days. As a result, they might get marketing messages from us while their request is being processed.

Also note that requesting to stop marketing messages will not stop us from sending our users messages relating to their purchases. These types of messages are service related and we need to send them to perform our sales contract with them.

Direct marketing

Like many retail companies, we use direct and re-targeting marketing practices to send our users targeted iClothing banners and adverts when they are on other websites and apps to keep them up-to-date on what we’re doing and our latest products. We do this using digital marketing service providers. 

Any targeted banners and adverts our users see from iClothing will be based on information we collect about our users for example, their contact data, device data and usage data. See the “Information collected and its purpose” section above).

Retention period for holding our users’ information

We will store our users’ information for:

  • The duration they have an account with us; or
  • For as long as is necessary to provide services to them; or
  • For as long as is necessary to provide customer related support; or
  • When we have their consent to do so; or
  • Processing the data is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by our users’ rights,

If required to meet legal and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also store our users’ information as long as is reasonably necessary, even after they have closed their account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to them.

Our users’ data privacy rights

It’s entirely up to our users whether they provide iClothing with any of their personal information, but without giving it, they may not be able to purchase products from our website. Similarly, they are unlikely to receive our best customer experience.

With the GDPR becoming effective on May 25th 2018, our users have a lot of rights relating to their personal information:

  • Right to Notice – they must be informed of how their personal data is being used (this Privacy Notice is an example).
  • Right of Access – they have the right to access all data collected about them and get a copy of this data and any relevant supplementary information free of charge.
  • Right to Rectification – they can ensure all inaccurate personal data concerning them is corrected.
  • Right to Erasure (be forgotten) – in some circumstances, they can ask us to erase all their personal data without undue delay. Note: there are exceptions to this, notably for the prevention of crime.
  • Right to Portability – they have the right to ask for their personal data to be sent to them or another service provider in a machine-readable format.
  • Right to Object to Direct Marketing – they have the right to stop all direct marketing messages that are being sent to them.
  • Right to Object to Automated Processing – they have the right to object to certain parts of automated processing or to a decision based solely on automated processing. Note: iClothing does not make any forms of decisions based on automated processing.
  • Right to Make a Complaint – they have the right to make a complaint to their relevant data protection authority – for example in Ireland, this is the Data Protection Commissioner and in the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office.

iClothing is fully committed to facilitating our users’ data privacy rights and we are confident in our ability to do so. If you are one of our users and you have any questions in relation to your data privacy rights with us, please contact us at privacy@iclothing.com
