Collection, processing and use of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as name, date of birth, bank details. Generally, we collect information that may identify you personally when you:
register for an account on this website,
place an order,
enter a contest or sweepstakes,
respond to a survey or communication such as an email, or
engage with another website feature.
We collect, process and store your personal data in connection with your ModeBuy membership.
Account Registration
You may choose to create a personal account on our website, which may require you to disclose certain personally identifiable information for identification purposes, including a unique email address and demographic information (including, for example, your postcode, the day and month of your birth and your return details).
Billing and Credit Card Information
In addition, our services generally include fashion retail and wholesale services. In order to enable payment by you to fulfill your orders, we may collect name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, and other billing information. This information will only be shared with third parties who facilitate the completion of the purchase transaction, such as fulfilling orders and processing credit card payments.
We will not disclose your billing and/or credit card information to other third parties unless required to do so by law or court order, or if disclosure is required to resolve an issue related to the financial transaction. For example, if you claim that your billing and/or credit card information was used to make a purchase that you did not authorize, the transaction details may be disclosed to law enforcement and any party we deem necessary to resolve the matter.
Gift Recipient Information
We may also collect information about gift recipients, including name, shipping address, phone number, and other information, so that they may be able to process any purchases made on their behalf. We do not use the information we collect about gift recipients for marketing purposes.
