3. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND HOW WE USE IT

The table at Annex 1 sets out the categories of personal information we collect about you and how we use that information. The table also lists the legal basis which we rely on to process the personal information. If you are a US resident, please see Annex 3 for information about our business or commercial purposes for collecting or disclosing your personal data.

More generally, you may provide us with personal information when:

(a) you are using our website (for example, to order products from us);

(b) we are processing and fulfilling you order; and

(c) you communicate with us (whether online, by telephone, or by email).

Special category information

We do not generally seek to ask for, or collect, sensitive (or "special category") personal data. Special category personal data includes information about your race, ethnicity, politics, religion or creed, philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sexual orientation, health and sex life.

To better understand our users and customers, we may request you to provide information such as whether you are expecting (including your due date) or if you have recently had a baby. However, providing such information to us is voluntary.

If we do collect special category personal data, we will ask for your explicit consent, or rely on an alternative appropriate lawful basis for our proposed use of that information at the time of collection. Generally, we will process any special category personal data because you have voluntarily chosen to submit that information to us (and therefore you are deemed to have explicitly consented to providing us with that information). We will not share this data
with anyone other than in accordance with this privacy policy. We encourage you to limit, where possible, sharing with us any kind of information about you or others which would be considered (by you or them) to be sensitive.

4.  DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

5. RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may share your personal information with the following (as required in accordance with the uses set out in Annex 1 or as otherwise described below):

(a) Service providers: we may share your personal information with third parties and other service providers that perform services for us or on our behalf. In particular, your information is shared with Shopify, which hosts our e-commerce website and acts as our data processor. Other providers with which we may share your personal information include those providing the following services: payment services, transaction processing, data hosting, cloud services, data centre and storage facilities, communications, surveys and chat facilities, customer relationship management, marketing communications, advertising, push notifications, technical support, error reporting and fixing, verification, fraud prevention and analytics.

(b) Purchasers and third parties in connection with a business transaction: your personal information may be disclosed to third parties in connection with a transaction, such as a merger, sale of assets or shares, reorganisation, financing, change of control or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.

(c) Law enforcement, regulators and other parties for legal reasons: we may share your personal information with third parties as required by law or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (i) comply with the law and/or the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (ii) detect and investigate illegal activities and breaches of agreements; (iii) enforce our terms and/or (iv) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Seraphine, its customers, personnel or others.

(d) Other members of the Seraphine group: where applicable, we may share your personal information with our group affiliate(s), for example, where they provide services on our behalf or where such sharing is otherwise necessary in accordance with the uses set out in Annex 1.

6. MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

From time to time, we may contact you with information about our products, including sending you marketing messages and asking for your feedback on our products.

Most marketing messages we send will be by email. For some marketing messages, we may use personal information we collect about you to help us determine the most relevant marketing information to share with you.

Wewill only send you marketing messages if we have your consent or, if consent is not required under applicable law, you have not opted out of receiving messages from us. You can withdraw your consent, or opt out of receiving further communications at a later date, by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our marketing emails or, if you have registered an account with us, by changing your preferences within your account.

Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not unsubscribe you from system, order processing, service update, legal or similarly related notifications which we may need to send you. From time to time, we may need to contact you by email or via our support team.

7. STORING AND TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Security. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful access, destruction, loss, alteration or damage. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. Where data processing is carried out on our behalf by a third party, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to prevent unauthorised disclosure of personal information.

Despite these precautions, however, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the internet or that unauthorised persons will not obtain access to personal information.

In accordance with applicable privacy law, you have the following rights in respect of your personal information that we hold:

(a) Right of access. You have the right to obtain access to your personal information.

(c) Right to rectification. You have the right to obtain rectification of any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you without undue delay.

(d) Right to erasure. You have the right, in some circumstances, to require us to erase your personal information without undue delay if the continued processing of that personal information is not justified.

(e) Right to restriction. You have the right, in some circumstances, to require us to limit the purposes for which we process your personal information if the continued processing of the personal information in this way is not justified, such as where the accuracy of the personal information is contested by you.

You can also object to our direct marketing activities for any reason by clicking the "unsubscribe" link set out in any marketing communication you receive. See section 6 for further details.

Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or partly, where exceptions under the applicable law apply. Note that we may refuse to comply with a request if it is deemed to be manifestly unfounded or excessive, or repetitive in nature.

If you wish to exercise one of these rights, please contact us using the contact details at the end of this privacy policy.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint to your national data protection authority. If you are in the UK, information on how to contact the ICO is available at www.ico.org.uk.

10. INTEREST BASED ADVERTISING

We may participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your online browsing history and your interests. To do this, we or our advertising partners may collect information about how you use or connect to our website, or the types of other websites, social media services, content and ads that you (or others using your device) visit or view or connect to our website so that we or our advertising partners may play or display ads on our website, other websites you may use, and on other devices you may use.

Typically, but not always, this information is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies. We and our third party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics and market research.

To learn about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt out of some of this advertising and to limit some third party advertising cookies, you may wish to visit:

• Your Online Choices ("YOC"): http://www.youronlinechoices.com/;

• Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"): http://www.aboutads.info/consumers.

Please note that opting-out of receiving interest-based advertising through the NAI's and DAA's or YOC's online resources will only opt-out a user from receiving interest based ads on that specific browser or device, but the user may still receive interest-based ads on their other devices. You must perform the opt-out on each browser or device you use.

Some of these opt-outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies. If you delete cookies, change your browser settings, switch browsers or computers, or use another operating system, you will need to opt-out again.

Please refer to our Cookies Polic at Annex 2 for more information as to the way in which we use cookies (and similar tracking technologies) on our website(s).
