Visitors under 16 years of age are not permitted to subscribe to our services or use and/or submit their personal information on any of our website or applications. We do not knowingly solicit or collect information from visitors under 16 years of age. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the interactive activities of their children.

If you make a purchase on the website, we may use automated tools as part of our fraud prevention measures. This means that your purchase may be declined if your payment has been rejected by the bank or if other factors indicate that the purchase may be fraudulent. For the purposes of fraud prevention, we may share your personal data with Forter Solutions UK Ltd, our third-party provider of fraud screening services, who may use such information in accordance with the Forter privacy policy accessible here: https://www.forter.com/services-privacy-policy/. If you have any concerns, please contact us on the contact details below.

We will share your personal data with:

• members of our group of companies, including Liberty Fabric Limited, Liberty of London Limited, Liberty Limited, Liberty Zeta Limited, Liberty Theta Limited and Liberty Gamma Limited;
• third party service providers, who will process it on our behalf for the purposes above. Such third parties include, but are not limited to, logistics providers and couriers for delivery of your orders (which are located in the EU), marketing providers (which are located in the UK, EU and US) and Forter Solutions UK Ltd, our third party provider of fraud screening services who may use such information in accordance with the Forter privacy policy accessible here: https://www.forter.com/services-privacy-policy/;
• government authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated by law or if required for the legal protection of our own legitimate interests in compliance with applicable laws; and
• purchasers or prospective purchasers of all or part of our assets or our business, and their professional advisers, in connection with the purchase.

• Sometimes Liberty will need to share your personal data with third parties and suppliers outside of the United Kingdom, such as the European Economic Area (the "EEA") (i.e. all 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), the USA, India and Japan.
• Where this is the case, we have procedures in place to ensure that your personal data receives the same level of protection as if it were being processed inside of the UK. If you have any questions about how we protect your data outside of the UK, please contact us at privacy@libertylondon.com

You are entitled to ask us:

• for a copy of your personal data;
• to correct your personal data (if it is inaccurate, incomplete or not up-to-date);
• to 'port' your personal data (i.e. to transfer in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to you or another data controller);
• to erase your personal data; or
• restrict its processing (i.e. processing will temporarily stop (save to the extent that personal data will continue to be stored)).

You also have rights to object to some processing that is based on our legitimate interests, and to processing for direct marketing purposes. Further, where we have asked for your consent to process your data, you are entitled to withdraw this consent as more fully described above.

These rights are limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your personal data. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent.

Where we require your personal data to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship with you, or to meet obligations placed on us.

We hope that we can satisfy any queries you may have about the way we process your personal data. If you have any concerns about how we process your personal data, you can get in touch at: privacy@libertylondon.com. If you live in the EU, or the EEA, you can also get in touch with our European Representative, Liberty Fabric Services Srl via privacy@libertylondon.com.

If you have unresolved concerns you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner or, if you are in the EU or the EEA, to your relevant data protection authority. The relevant data protection authority will be the data protection authority of the country: (i) of your habitual residence; (ii) of your place of work; or (iii) in which you consider the alleged infringement has occurred.

Where we process your personal and transaction data, we do this for as long as your account is active and for no more than 7 years after this.

Where we process personal data for marketing purposes or with your consent, we process the data until you ask us to stop and for a short period after this (to allow us to implement your requests). We also keep a record of the fact that you have asked us not to send you direct marketing or to process your data indefinitely so that we can respect your request in future.

Where we process personal data for site security purposes, we retain it for 24 months.
