LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING (EUROPEAN OPERATIONS)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), our legal grounds for processing personal information in connection with our European operations are as follows:

Legitimate interests: In many cases, we handle personal information on the ground that it furthers our legitimate interests in commercial activities, such as the following, in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals:

Provision of our Services;
Customer support;
Non-marketing communication, and some marketing communication;
Protecting our customers, personnel and others; and
Analyzing and improving our business.

We may also process personal information for the same legitimate interests of business partners and organizations with whom we work.

Consent: Where required by law, and in some other cases, we process personal information on the basis of consent. For example, we may send certain marketing emails to individuals who have requested them.

To honor our contractual commitments to an individual: Some of our processing of personal information is done to meet our contractual obligations to the individuals to whom the personal information relates, or to take steps at their request in anticipation of entering into a contract with them. For example, when an individual places an order, we can process their payment information on this basis.

Legal compliance: We need to use and disclose personal information in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations.

AGGREGATED OR DE-IDENTIFIED INFORMATION

We may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize any information collected through the Services in such a way that we cannot reasonably link information to you or your device. For example, we may use the information to calculate the percentage of Asherah Swimwear users who have a particular telephone area code or who use an Android device or an iOS device.

Because this type of information cannot be reasonably linked to you, we may use and disclose this information for any purpose.

PRIVACY INFORMATION FOR NEVADA RESIDENTS

Under Nevada law, Nevada residents who have purchased goods or services from us may opt out of the “sale” of “covered information” (as such terms are defined under Nevada law) for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. In some circumstances, we may share your information with certain third parties that we believe can provide you with offers and promotions for products and services of interest to you. This sharing may qualify as a sale under Nevada law. If you are a Nevada resident who has purchased goods or services from us, you may submit a request to opt out of “sales” activity emailing us at customerservice@asherahswimwear.com. Please note we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.

INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on the laws of your local jurisdiction, you may have certain rights and additional choices with respect to your information. For example, laws outside the United States (e.g., the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other EU countries) provide individuals in such locations the right to ask us to:

obtain confirmation of whether we hold personal information about them, and receive information about how it is used and disclosed;
obtain a copy of the personal information, and in some cases, receive it in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or have it be transmitted to a third party in such form;
update, correct or delete the information;
object to the use or disclosure of the information;
withdraw consent previously provided for the handling of the information (without affecting the lawfulness of prior use and disclosure of the information, or of uses and disclosures for which the law does not require consent); and
obtain a restriction on the use of the information.

For example, individuals whose personal information is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) have an absolute right to opt out of our handling of their personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Many of the rights described above are subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law.

To exercise these rights, except for the right to correct your personal information, please visit our PRIVACY CENTER If you wish to exercise your right to correct your personal information, or raise a complaint on how we have handled your personal information, please contact us at customerservice@asherahswimwear.com. Individuals also have a right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority, but we invite you to kindly first give us an opportunity to address your concern.

DO NOT TRACK

Our systems do not recognize "Do Not Track" signals, but several of the third party companies who use cookies or beacons on our web sites enable you to opt out of certain behavioral advertising. We also provide you with additional tools to opt out of marketing from us or certain transfers of your information. You can learn about this in the " Online Advertising and Direct Marketing Choices" section of this Privacy Notice.

RETENTION PERIOD

We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide requested services to you;
Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them);or
Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

INFORMATION SECURITY

We use safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Nonetheless, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is completely secure so there is still some risk that your personal information may be accessed or misappropriated. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. If you have any questions about security on our site, you can send an email to us at email address specified below.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

Your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we, our service providers, or any of the other recipients described in the “How We Share and Disclose Your Information” section above have operations, including in the United States or in other countries with data protection laws that the European Commission has not recognized as providing an adequate level of privacy protection. Personal information is typically subject to the laws of the country in which it is held, and sometimes also the laws of other countries that have a connection to its processing, such as the source country. For this reason, your personal information may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of any of the countries described above, pursuant to the laws of such countries. However, this Privacy Policy will continue to apply to personal information collected under this Privacy Policy when it is held by Asherah Swimwear or by any third-party processor that has been engaged by Asherah Swimwear to act solely on our behalf, regardless of location. Asherah Swimwear complies with legal requirements for protecting the movement of data across borders, including through the use of European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Notice at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this notice, we will notify you here, by e-mail, or by means of a notice on our home page.
