What is your legal basis for processing your data?

Under the Law we must have a valid reason for using your personal data and we may not collect store or use data about you that is not compatible with that reason. There are four valid reasons for our use of your personal data:

  1. Most of the data we collect from you is necessary to allow us to fulfill our contract with you or to enter into a contract with you e.g. you provide a billing address and email address when your purchase an item from our websites so that we can process your payment and send you your order confirmation.
  2. In certain circumstances we will ask for your permission or consent to use your personal data e.g. if we would like to send you marketing information about items we believe may be of interest to you via email or text message. If you have given your consent to our use of your personal data, you are entitled to withdraw this consent at any time.
  3. We may also have a legitimate interest in using your personal data e.g. to ensure that the content of our website is presented to you and your device as effectively as possible, or to ensure that our marketing communications are relevant to your interests. If this is our reason for using your data, we must make sure that our interests do not override yours and you are entitled to object to this use of your data.
  4. Lastly, we may be required to use your data to meet a legal obligation or to protect your interests e.g. we may exchange data with other specialist organizations for the purposes of fraud detection and credit risk reduction and we will retain financial data long term to meet our statutory obligations.

The legal basis for each of the ways in which we use your personal data is as follows:

  1. The provision of your personal data for these activities is a contractual obligation. You are free to communicate your data or not, but in the absence of the requested data it will not be possible to finalise or execute the contract and your requests. This means that while you will continue to be able to browse our websites, you will not be able to purchase products and you will not be able to use the services of our website such as the Wish List.
  2. When you make a purchase on our websites, we are required to process your personal data to meet our legal obligations in accordance with the tax provisions and other statutory rules which apply.
 You are free to decide whether or not to purchase from us, but if you do make a purchase this use of your data will be necessary to meet our legal obligations.
  3. When you make a purchase on our website, we will use some of your personal data to carry out anti-fraud activities: we have a legitimate interest in carrying out this activity to prevent and prosecute any fraudulent activity.
  4. Our use of your data is necessary for our legitimate interest in ensuring that the service we provide to you is managed correctly.

Who will process your data?

Your personal data will be processed by the internal staff of The Project Garments who have been specifically trained and authorized for this processing.

Under some circumstances we may be required to disclose or share your data without your consent, for example if we are required by the police, the courts or for other legal reasons. Your data may be transmitted to the police, judicial and administrative authorities, in accordance with the law, for the investigation and prosecution of crimes, the prevention of and protection from threats to public security, to allow The Project Garments to ascertain, exercise or defend a right in court, as well as for other reasons related to the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

We may also transfer your personal data to a buyer or potential buyer in the event that our assets are acquired by another organisation. The purchaser will be required by law to use your personal data only as described in this Privacy Policy.
