We are committed to the protection of your personal information.
This policy (the “Policy”) sets out how we collect, use, manage and store personal information during the course of business. You agree that this Policy applies to you as an individual and is separate from, and does not amend or modify, any contractual arrangements between you or your organisation and us, nor create any rights in you under any such contract.
In this Policy:
This Privacy Policy applies to three groups: you are an influencer in our network (or potential influencer), you are a client of ours, you are a subscriber to our newsletter. Most data is collected from the first two groups.
When you are an influencer, we may obtain information about you via your public profile on social media or via your public website(s). Also, we may have received information directly from you or your agent/management in relation to our contractual relationship. We may also obtain information from third parties, such as social media channels or other digital service providers on the effect of your posts. When you are a potential influencer, the information that we process originates from your public social media profiles or your public website(s) or directly from you or your agent/management. When you are client, you provide us with the correct information.
We require customers to register and create an account on our website in order to make purchases. This registration requires you to fill out certain personal information. The information required, depending on the context, include but are not limited to:
The personal data may originate from various sources. We may process personal data that we have found on your public profile on social media or your public website to the extent you have made this information public intentionally and not solely for private purposes. When you are an influencer or former influencer we will process personal data that we have obtained in connection with our previous cooperation. This data may originate from your agreement with us, from your social media profile(s) or website(s) and from information you (or your agent/manager) provided to us.
4.1 We collect, use and disclose personal information for the primary purpose of conducting our business, which includes:
5.1 In conducting our operations, we may share some of your personal information with, or receive personal information from, third parties such as outsourced service providers and contractors.
5.2 Unless you have agreed otherwise, these parties are not allowed to use your personal information for any other purpose except to assist in conducting our business. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such third parties are subject to confidentiality requirements. In particular, we may disclose your personal information:
6.1 Where we hold your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information is secure and may only be accessed by authorised persons. Where we store your personal information electronically on our database, we use secure servers and there are restrictions as to who has access to that information through password protection. All hardcopies of personal information are stored in lockable rooms.
6.2 Although we take reasonable steps, we are not responsible for third party circumvention of security measures on our electronic databases or at any of our premises. Please note that third party recipients of personal information may have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for their actions, including their handling of personal information.
6.3 We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you share your information. Further, we cannot guarantee that only authorised persons will access your personal information. Please notify us immediately if you believe there has been any unauthorised access to your information.
6.4 We keep personal information as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or otherwise in compliance with our or our service providers’ data retention policies. If any personal information that we hold is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and no applicable law requires us to retain that information, we will take reasonable steps to de-identify or destroy the information.
7.1 We will take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we hold is complete, up to date and accurate, so far as it is practicable for us to do so.
7.2 You may request access to the personal information we hold about you by contacting our Privacy Officer. We may, subject to any exceptions set out in the Privacy Act, provide you with access to your personal information. We may charge you a fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs for giving access but we will not charge you for making the request itself.
7.3 Subject to paragraph 7.4, if personal information we hold about you is incorrect, we will, on your request to correct it or where we are satisfied that the information is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that the information is corrected. You are able to make a correction request by using the contact details below. We will not charge you for making a correction request.
7.4 If you request us to correct personal information that we hold about you and we refuse to do so, we will, to the extent reasonable, provide you a written response as to our reasons. You can make a complaint if you think we have wrongly refused to correct or give you access to your personal information by using the contact details below.
8.1 From time to time, we may use your personal information for direct marketing purposes and you consent to us using your personal information for direct marketing purposes (for an indefinite period). This includes sending you updates about our products and offerings. When we contact you, it may be by mail, email or SMS. If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so. Where we use or disclose your personal information for the purpose of direct marketing, we will:
(a) allow you to ‘opt out’ or, in other words, allow you to request not to receive direct marketing communications; and
(b) comply with any such request by you to ‘opt-out’ of receiving further communications within a reasonable time frame.
8.2 You may ask to be removed from our marketing lists at any time by directly contacting us. If you don’t wish to receive direct marketing materials, contact our Privacy Officer using the details set out at the end of this Privacy Policy.
You have certain rights in relations to the processing of your personal data. You can at any time, with reasonable intervals, exercise your right of inspection of your personal data. Upon inspection, you can request us to correct or delete your personal data if the data is incorrect or excessive. To the extent your personal data is being processed based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. In order to exercise your rights please contact us via email. We may ask you in response to your request to identify yourself. Like any data subject, you will always have the right to issue a complaint with the competent data protection authority in case of violation of the applicable data protection laws and regulations which affects your privacy. The German Privacy Act (Bundesdatenshutzgesetzt – BDSG) is Germany’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We may change this Policy at any time. Please refer back to this Policy periodically to review any updates. If we make material changes to this Policy we will notify you by publication on our website. The revised version of the Policy will be effective at the time we post it, which time will be indicated at the end of this Policy. You agree to be bound by any modified or amended versions of this Policy.
