1. The Data We Collect (And Why)
To deliver our seamless shopping experience, we may collect:
- Style Essentials: Name, email, shipping/billing addresses – to deliver your fashion finds and process payments securely
- Payment Perfection: Encrypted payment details (processed through PCI-compliant partners) – never stored on our servers
- Size Preferences: Purchase history and browsing data – to recommend dresses that fit your unique style
- Global Connection: Country/language settings – to display correct pricing and available styles for your region
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data helps us create that effortless Clothyne experience:
- Process transactions with bank-level security (256-bit SSL encryption)
- Ship your going-out outfits and holiday maxis worldwide (where available)
- Personalise dress recommendations based on your browsing habits
- Send order confirmations and shipping updates (never spam)
- Improve our website functionality and payment processes
- Prevent fraud and unauthorised transactions
3. Data Sharing – Our Selective Approach
We’re as selective with your data as you are with your mini dresses:
- Payment Processors: Secure partners like PayPal for transaction processing
- Shipping Partners: Only necessary delivery information to carriers
- Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our business
We never sell your data to third-party marketers.
4. International Data Transfers
For our global fashionistas (excluding some Asian/remote regions), data may be transferred internationally with appropriate safeguards under GDPR and other privacy laws.
5. Security – Protecting Your Fashion Data
We implement:
- 256-bit SSL encryption (same as online banks)
- Automatic fraud monitoring systems
