Data Covered by this Privacy Notice

This privacy notice covers personally identifiable information (PII) collected by WWD in connection with the Services when we and WWD act as data controllers.

• PII identifies or could be used to identify a specific person, and any data about that person. For example, your name, address, and payment details are PII.
• We act as a controller when we process PII for our own use. For example, we act as a controller when you provide your PII to open an account.

This notice does not apply when you process PII for your own benefit. For example, when you send email for your business purposes that includes PII, you are acting as the “controller”. When you act as the controller, we act as the “processor” and process PII only in accordance with your instructions or as required by law.

This notice also does not apply to third-party applications offered through the Services. Please review the privacy notice of any third-party service or website before using it.

Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Online Identifiers

We use three main “identifiers”: cookies, web beacons, and scripts.

• Cookies are text files placed on your device when you visit our webpages or view messages from us. Some cookies are “session cookies” that expire at the end of your browser session, while others are “persistent cookies” that allow us to remember your preferences and settings over multiple visits and across other websites.
• Web Beacons are image files placed in our web pages and emails.
• Scripts are small pieces of computer code that power customer service tools, deliver video, and provide interactive experiences. We also use scripts for measuring service use.

We manage some identifiers directly. Other identifiers are managed by third parties. For example, we use Google Analytics to monitor site performance and visitor engagement.

We use identifiers to provide customized services, measure website performance, provide customer support, and deliver personalized advertising. Examples of how we use identifiers include, but are not limited to:

• Setting your service preferences
• Managing your shopping cart
• Guarding against fraud
• Delivering relevant advertisements
• Measuring website use
• Conducting research to improve our services

Identifier Management

You can manage identifier settings through your customer account. We use optional and mandatory cookies and other identifiers. Optional cookies and other identifiers are used for support, website performance, and advertising. Mandatory cookies and other identifiers are used for account, verification, service continuity, security, and other functions necessary to provide our website and services.

Many web browsers allow users to block cookies (directly or through plugins and extensions). Some cookies, however, are essential for our website and services to function. If you set your browser to block all cookies, you may not be able to use our services.

“Do Not Track” and other Preference Signals

Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” feature. There are no generally accepted standards for this feature and we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

We recognize universal opt-out mechanisms, such as the Global Privacy Control, where required by applicable law.

Marketing and Advertising Preferences

You can manage your marketing and advertising preferences, including whether you wish to receive customized marketing and advertising:

• Through your Account Settings

Storage

We store personal data on our own systems and with trusted service providers, including Amazon Web Services.

International Transfers

We transfer PII internationally to provide the Services. We comply with applicable law when making international transfers.

For transfers of PII from the European Union/European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, WWD has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“EU-U.S. DPF), the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, collectively (the “DPF”). Please see the WWD Data Privacy Framework Notice for more information on WWD’s participation in the DPF Program.

Please see our European Data Protection Disclosure for more information pursuant to the DPF and other transfer mechanisms we use to transfer PII from the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the UK.

Length of Retention

We retain personal data for our business needs and to comply with law. If we no longer need personal data, we may delete it or de-identify it so that it no longer identifies a specific person. Factors we consider when deciding when to delete or de-identify your personal data include: (1) if you still have an account, (2) if we are required to retain personal data to comply with law, or (3) if the personal data is needed for tax other business purposes.

Security

We use risk-based measures to protect personal data, including appropriate security controls and employee training. We also require that our service providers, business partners, and advertisers use appropriate risk-based controls to protect personal data.

No Collection of Personal Data about Children

We do not knowingly collect PII about anyone under 18 without permission from their legal guardian. Please contact us at [email protected] if you believe we have collected information from a child without permission from their legal guardian.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process PII upon your request, with your consent, to fulfill our contract with you, based on our legitimate interest, or other lawful bases. The specific basis of processing depends on the services you are using, the data being processed, the place where the processing occurs, and the place where you live. If you have questions about our basis for processing your PII, please contact us at [email protected].

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
