LT Iconic Agency

Privacy Policy

 

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.

 

1. Terminology

In this Policy:

  • “personal information” means any information or opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable (whether or not the information is true);
  • “sensitive information” means (without limitation) information about an individual’s race, ethnic origin, membership of a political association, religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual orientation, criminal record, or health, genetic or biometric information;
  • “we,” “us,” “our,” and “LT Iconic Agency” are reference to LT Iconic Agency.
  • “you” and “your” means an individual whose personal information we have collected.

2. To Whom Does The Privacy Apply?

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.

 

3. What Personal Information is Collected

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:

  • your full name;
  • company name
  • telephone, mobile phone number and email address;
  • address
  • age or birth date;
  • employment related information, if you apply to work for us;
  • information you provide to us through surveys, competitions or market research; and
  • any other personal information you or a person ostensibly authorised by you submits to us, as well any other information that we consider necessary (such as information about your opinions) to perform our functions and activities.
  • social media channels and/or websites
  • social media/website statistics including: numbers of followers, engagement/reach, demographics of followers, gender/age of followers,
  • social security numbers
  • bank details

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.

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.
