4. No Obligation to Provide Data

Generally, you are not obliged to provide us with your personal data. However, using certain areas of our services may require the provision of personal data, particularly when purchasing goods. If you do not wish to provide the necessary data, you will not be able to use the respective areas of the services.

5. Recipients of Personal Data

5.1. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

We only disclose your data to third parties outside of Your Fashion Dress if it is legally permissible (e.g., because we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the disclosure, we are legally obliged to disclose it, or based on your consent).

In addition to the third parties named in our data protection information and in our CMP, we may disclose personal data to a third party particularly:

  • – if we are legally obliged to do so based on enforceable administrative or judicial orders (to authorities);
  • – in connection with legal disputes (to courts or our lawyers) or audits (to auditors);
  • – when working with tax consultants;
  • – in connection with potential criminal acts to the relevant investigative authorities;
  • – in the event of a business sale (to the buyer).

If we disclose your data to third parties based on your consent, this explanation can also be given when obtaining the consent.

5.2. Disclosure to Processors

In some areas, we use processors to handle your data. A processor is a natural or legal person who processes personal data on our behalf and according to our instructions, while we remain responsible for the data processing. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes but only process it exclusively for the controller.

To the extent that data processors are not already named in this data protection information, they include in particular the following categories of data processors:

  • – IT service providers (sending emails and newsletters)

6. Storage Period and Data Deletion

Your Fashion Dress only stores personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this data protection information, particularly to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. If necessary, we will also store your personal data for additional purposes if and as long as further storage is legally permitted.

7. Recipients outside the EEA

We also transfer personal data to third parties or processors located in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). In this case, we ensure before the transfer that there is either an adequate level of data protection at the recipient or that you have given your explicit consent.

An adequate level of data protection exists, for example, when the European Commission has adopted a so-called adequacy decision for the respective country (Art. 45 GDPR). For the USA, the European Commission has adopted a decision that there is an adequate level of data protection if the data recipient participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and holds a current certification for it. Therefore, if the recipients of your personal data are located in the USA and participate in the DPF, we rely on this adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR).

Alternatively, we establish an adequate level of data protection by agreeing with recipients on the so-called EU Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR). In this case, we conduct Transfer Impact Assessments and agree with the recipient, or implement additional protective measures if necessary. Specifically, we agree with recipients who are (independent) controllers on Module 1 of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and with recipients who act as our processors on Module 2 of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

These are third parties or processors in the following countries: USA (we rely on the DPF in this regard). You can obtain a copy of the specifically agreed arrangements to ensure an adequate level of data protection from us. Please contact us at datenschutzbeauftragter@yourfashiondress.com or using the contact information provided in Section 2..
