- In order to process the orders that you place, send you email confirmations of your order, send those packages of style direct to your door, verify your payment details, or to process returns and refunds, we may use your name, address, email address and payment card information. We ask for your mobile number so that we can call or text you about your orders, but it’s optional anyway. It’s handy when the courier can’t find your address, for example, or if there is a problem with your order (contractual performance).

- We like to keep you in the loop so from time to time we’ll send you catalogues, special offers and promotions by post and email (legitimate interests, consent) using your name, address and / or email address.

6. How Is Your Data Kept

We use secure server technology to ensure this information is protected. Any personal information you provide to us is safely stored on secure servers.

We also use reputable third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf. Sometimes these service providers need information about our customers in order to do their jobs, such as fulfilling orders and promotions, maintaining and managing our customer database, and reporting on customer behavior and/or preferences. Where these service providers have access to your information, we require them to maintain your information in the strictest confidence and we do not permit them to use it in any way other than to help us provide you with better service.

Our IT department uses encryption to safeguard your personal information at all times. This encryption makes it virtually impossible for unauthorized parties to read any information that you send us. 

As long as you keep shopping with us, we keep a record of our friendships so far, from your first pair of our shoes to that classic belt you wear all the time. This record helps us answer any questions about your order history – or take you on a stroll down memory lane. And we know when we’re not wanted. If you haven’t shopped with us for ten years, we’ll come to the sad conclusion that we may have lost you, and delete your data from all our systems. Or you can ask us at any time – via any of the methods listed in our Contact Us section – to erase it. (We will, pronto.)

We might also need to keep your data for important legal or audit purposes, to resolve disputes, and to prevent fraud and abuse. In these situations, we may need to hold some of your data after you have closed your account.

Please get in touch with us via any of the methods listed in our Contact Us section if you’d like us to do any of these things, and as far as we’re able to (when taking into account our own legal obligations) we’ll make it happen. You can also amend your own personal data by accessing ‘Your Account’ on our website.

You have the right to stop receiving direct marketing. Just ask us to take you off the list, via any of the methods in our Contact Us section.
