Most of our business is conducted in-house but there are times when we share your personal data with trusted third parties. For example, with our artisans, so that they can label your parcels, with delivery couriers, that we pay to deliver our products and deal with the export formalities, when appropriate.

 

We make sure to provide third parties only with the information they need to perform their specific services in accordance with our instructions and we require these third parties to respect the security of your data.

 

Examples of the kind of third parties we work with are:

We may also disclose your personal information to law enforcement, regulatory and other government agencies and to professional bodies and other third parties upon a valid request to do so, as required by and/or in accordance with applicable law or regulation.

In the ordinary course of business, we’ll need to transfer your personal data across countries to ourselves and/or to third parties outside the EEA (European Economic Area) to enable us to supply the services you’ve requested.
