1. Introduction and Scope

This Privacy Policy applies between you, the User of this website (“you” or “your”), and Ladies Girdle, the owner and provider of this website (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using our website, you consent to the practices outlined in this Policy. It supplements all other applicable terms and conditions (including our Terms of Use) but does not replace them.

  • Children’s Privacy: Our website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

  • Policy Overview: This Policy explains how we collect, store, process, and protect your personal data. For additional clarity, certain terms, data types, and lawful bases are defined in Schedule 1.

  • Controller: Ladies Girdle is the “controller” for purposes of data protection law and is responsible for your personal data.

  • Data Privacy Manager (DPM): We have appointed a DPM to oversee questions regarding this Privacy Policy or your legal rights. To contact us or the DPM:

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) (www.ico.org.uk). However, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us first.

It is vital that your personal data is accurate and current. Please notify us of any changes to your personal data.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, or applications. Clicking these links or enabling these connections may allow third parties to collect or share your personal data. We do not control third-party websites, plug-ins, or applications and are not responsible for their privacy policies. Please read the privacy policies of these third parties to understand how they collect and use your personal data.

2. The Data We Collect About You

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you. Details of the types of personal data we collect can be found in Part 1 of Schedule 1. We also gather aggregated data, which does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity unless combined with other data.

We do not collect any special categories of personal data or information about criminal convictions or offenses. If you do not provide certain information when requested (and we require this by law or under the terms of a contract), we may not be able to provide or perform our services. We will inform you if this is the case.

3. How We Collect Your Personal Data

We collect personal data via the following methods:

  • Direct Interactions: You may give us personal data when you fill out forms, request products or services, subscribe to our email list, create an account, or correspond with us (e.g., by email or phone).

  • Automated Technologies: As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect technical data about your browsing behavior via cookies and similar technologies. We may receive technical data about you if you visit other websites using our cookies.

  • Publicly Available Sources: We may collect personal data from publicly accessible sources.

  • Third Parties: We may receive personal data from analytics providers (e.g., Google), advertising networks, or service providers who help process orders, handle payments, or provide maintenance and support.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We only use your personal data when allowed by law, commonly in the following ways:

  1. Performance of a Contract: Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

  2. Legal Obligations: Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

  3. Legitimate Interests: Where it is necessary for our (or a third party’s) legitimate interests and your fundamental rights do not override those interests.

We generally rely on consent as a legal basis for sending marketing communications. You can withdraw your consent to receive such communications at any time by contacting us or clicking “unsubscribe” in marketing emails.

We may also process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where required or permitted by law.

Further details on the lawful bases for processing and examples of how we use your personal data are set out in Part 2 of Schedule 1.

5. Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with third parties for legitimate business purposes or where legally required. More information about such third parties is found in Part 4 of Schedule 1. These third parties must follow data privacy laws and process your personal data only according to our instructions.

6. International Transfers

  • [Option A] No Transfers: We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

  • [Option B] Transfers Within Group: We share your personal data within the [Insert Company Name] Group, which may involve transferring your data outside the EEA.

  • [Option C] Other Transfers: Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we aim to ensure a similar level of protection by implementing standard contractual clauses, relying on adequacy decisions, or other approved measures.

If you want further details on our transfer mechanisms, please contact us.

7. Data Security

  • We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your personal data. Access to your personal data is restricted to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a business need. They can process your personal data only on our instructions and are subject to confidentiality obligations.

  • We have procedures to deal with any suspected data breach and will notify you (and any applicable regulator) where legally required.

8. Data Retention

  • We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it for, including for legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

  • For more details on specific retention periods, please request our retention policy. By law, we must keep certain information about customers for six years for tax purposes.
    We may anonymize your personal data (so it can no longer be associated with you) for statistical or research purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice.

9. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data (e.g., rights to access, correct, erase, object, restrict processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent). Detailed information can be found in Part 3 of Schedule 1. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact our DPM.

Requests are typically free of charge unless they are unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity for security purposes. We strive to respond within one month, but it may take longer if your request is complex or you have made several requests.

10. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this website, and your continued use of the site following any such changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
