PRIVACY NOTICE

Privacy Notice

Hi there, this is our privacy notice. When you interact with us through websites, social media pages, email or other digital properties (“websites”), or when you view, shop for and use our items online, we will collect and process information that relates to you, known as personal data.

In this notice we will explain what personal data we collect and process about you, why and what we do with them. This notice applies to both consumers and where indicated, small businesses (jointly referred to as “you” or “Customers”) that buy our clothing and other items and otherwise interact with us online.

Please note that this privacy notice may change. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised privacy notice on our website.

1. Who is the Controller?

TEEBOSSMAY Limited is responsible for this privacy notice. This legal entity is referred to as “we” or “us” in this document. You can contact us using the email address listed at the end of this privacy notice.

2. What Information Do We Collect and Why?

2.1. To handle your purchases, provide (Customer) services and fulfil other requests

2.1.1. Orders, purchases and accounts

Online, when you purchase an item via our website, we collect your name, full postal and/or separate billing address, e-mail address, ordered items, delivery information, invoice information and other data relating to fulfilling your order. We will also collect data on the usage of your vouchers (e.g., validity and amount). Furthermore, we collect data you choose to provide us with additional fields, such as your telephone number.

We use this data because it is necessary to conclude, execute and manage your purchase and to handle your order. Please note that in some cases requested information may be mandatory. If you do not provide us with a name and delivery address, we will not be able to deliver your items.

During the purchasing process, you will be presented with the option to set up a personal TEEBOSSMAY account. If you choose to do so, we will ask for additional information, such as setting up a personal password and subscriptions to commercial communications. We only use your data for this purpose if you have given your consent to set up a personal account.

Please note that TEEBOSSMAY Limited will act as a controller in relation to the processing of your personal data related to your online transaction.

2.1.2. Customer service and other requests

We also collect data to answer your queries via email or online via a chatbot or online form or via live-chat functionality. In such case we will only ask you to provide the data necessary to handle your request (to manage our contractual relationship with you and/or to comply with a legal obligation). For example, if you contact us regarding a faulty item, we may ask you for a purchase date, or information about your issues with the delivered item.

When you interact with chatbots (automated messengers) and/or live chat, we will also record what you respond to these chatbots and/or live chat, how you interact with them and we will store data related to the device that you use. Depending on the platform for the chatbot and/or live chat and your consent, we may collect device data such as: IP address, social media handle, time zone, country and GPS location. The platform that provides the chatbot and/or live chat may also collect some of this data. For example, if the chatbot and/or live chat is provided on Meta, Meta may collect your user data as well. We also collect other information in relation to the fulfilment of your request such as chat content.

We may process this data either on the basis of your consent, because it is necessary to manage our contractual relationship with you in case your request is related to an order or because we have a legitimate interest in helping you and thereby improving our services.

2.1.3. (Changed) terms, conditions or notices

We are required by law to inform you about any (changes in) terms and conditions, and notices that apply to the relationship that we have with you. In order to comply with these legal obligations, we may use your contact details such as your email address to inform you.

2.1.4. Payments and check fraudulent credit card usage or excessive credit card charge backs checks

We have to process your personal data in order to process your payment if you buy something with us. Your data will be shared by the payment service providers we partner with. These payments service providers are also a data controller in relation to your data used for payment purposes. If you have any questions regarding the use of your personal data by the payment service providers, please contact the payment service providers directly. More information about the payment service providers and the way they use your personal data can be found on their respective websites.

If you wish to pay your order by credit card, we will have a credit check performed in order to establish whether your personal data is not associated with fraudulent credit card usage or excessive credit card charge back. For this purpose, our payment service provider will use your name and banking account details. We do not collect information related to the payment instrument that you use, e.g., credit card information ourselves. This information is processed solely by our payment service provider and by the providers of the payment instruments subject to strict information security assurances. We have this check performed to protect our legitimate business interest to prevent fraud and financial loss, or comply with our legal obligations.

In addition, we will retain a history of the e-mail messages that we sent to you and we will record what you do with these messages (for example, if you open them or click on their content). Please note that you can unsubscribe at any given moment via the ‘unsubscribe’ or ‘opt out’ button below each email, or by requesting us to do so via the contact details set out below or in the relevant commercial message.

This is called targeted advertising. The more successful we are in targeted advertising, the higher the (prospective) Customer satisfaction.

To be able to show you targeted advertisements, we can also match your data profile with Customers that have a similar profile.

In order to support our targeted advertising, we make use of information that is collected on how our Customers respond to our products, brand and advertisements. This information is collected from different sources available to us offline, online and mobile, for instance when you are visiting our websites. Next to that it is enriched with information collected by others, such as data relating to the local weather. Based on that information, our marketing teams find and define relevant segments of online audiences to direct marketing campaigns at. These segments also help us decide how to best reach our Customers, within and beyond TEEBOSSMAY’s digital channels. If your digital marketing profile falls within such a segment, you will probably receive our advertising tailored to the interests of the segment we placed you in on Meta, Google properties, online properties of so-called affiliate parties and other online and offline locations and materials, which is targeted advertising.

We may also collect data from third party vendors, such as Meta or Google or other online and social media actors that have collected data about you to use in relation to personalized targeted advertising, and we may share your data profile with third parties, such as Meta and Google or other online and social media actors, for retargeting by showing you a targeted advertisement on a third-party website that is linked to an event on our website, for example a specific purchase that was abandoned in the shopping cart.

In addition, Meta, Google and other online and social media actors can independently register your use of our advertisements through the use of cookies. Please read the privacy and cookie policies of such third parties for more information as we are not responsible for the personal data they process for their own purposes.
