• Restriction. You have the right to restrict our processing of your personal information where you believe such data to be inaccurate; our processing is unlawful; or that we no longer need to process such data for a purpose unless we are not able to delete the data due to a legal or other obligation or because you do not wish for us to delete it.

Please note that where CCTV is in operation in our stores you may be captured on CCTV and your image stored. All CCTV footage is captured purely for your security and for the prevention and detection of crime. If you would like to know more about this, please contact us using the details provided below.

10. How do we protect your personal information?

We do several things to keep our data secure, which are considered best practice in the IT security industry. Such measures include, for example, limiting access to personal information only to employees and authorised service providers who need to know such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, as well as other administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including firewalls and encryption measures.

While we endeavour to protect our systems, website, operations and information against unauthorised access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

Aesop takes reasonable steps to:

a) make sure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date;

b) protect the personal information that we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and

c) where permitted by law, destroy or permanently anonymise personal information that is no longer needed for purposes for which it was collected.

Aesop's credit card transactions are fulfilled by an authorised banking institution. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, Aesop offers secured server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to help prevent others from accessing it. Personal information is stored on servers that are protected by appropriate safeguards, and will be accessible by authorised employees and agents who require access relating to their responsibilities. Your credit card details are encrypted and then removed from our system once your order has been dispatched.

We don't usually collect unsolicited personal information. In the event we receive unsolicited personal information, we'll determine if it would have been permissible to collect that personal information if it had been solicited. If we determine that collection would not have been permissible, to the extent permitted by law, we'll destroy or anonymise that personal information as soon as practicable.

Aesop will generally provide individuals with the option of not identifying themselves when entering into transactions when it is lawful and practicable to do so. However, on many occasion, we will not be able to do this. For example, we will need your address to deliver any products purchased through our website.

11. How long do we keep your personal information?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary for the purpose for which that data was collected and to the extent permitted by applicable laws. When we no longer need to use personal information, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to anonymise it so that you can no longer be identified from it.

12. How do we deal with children's privacy?

We will never knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of sixteen (16) years without first obtaining verifiable parental consent. If you are under the age of 16 you should not provide information to us. If we become aware that a person under 16 has provided personal information to us without verifiable parental consent, we will remove such personal information from our files.

13. How can you contact us?

• Restriction. In some jurisdictions in which we operate, you have the right to restrict our processing of your personal information where you believe such data to be inaccurate; our processing is unlawful; or that we no longer need to process such data for a purpose unless we are not able to delete the data due to a legal or other obligation or because you do not wish for us to delete it.

In some jurisdictions in which we operate, you have the right to obtain personal information we hold about you, in a structured, electronic format, and to transmit such data to another data controller, where this is (a) personal information which you have provided to us, and (b) if we are processing that data based on your consent or to perform a contract with you.

Please note that where you have withdrawn your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information at any time (subject to contractual and legal restrictions and reasonable notice) or do not provide us with the personal information we request of you, we may be unable to provide you the products or services you have requested or contact you in the future.

10. Do we use CCTV?

11. How do we protect your personal information? We do several things designed to keep our data secure, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards such as firewalls and encryption measures. While we endeavour to protect our systems, website, operations and information against unauthorised access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers. Aesop takes reasonable steps to: a) make sure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date; b) protect the personal information that we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and c) where permitted by law, destroy or permanently anonymise personal information that is no longer needed by Aesop. Aesop's credit card transactions are fulfilled by an authorised banking institution. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, Aesop offers secured server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to help prevent others from accessing it. Personal information is stored on servers that are protected by appropriate safeguards and will be accessible by authorised employees and agents who require access relating to their responsibilities. Your credit card details are encrypted and then removed from our system once your order has been dispatched. We don't usually collect unsolicited personal information. In the event we receive unsolicited personal information, we will determine if it would have been permissible to collect that personal information if it had been solicited. If we determine that collection would not have been permissible, to the extent permitted by law, we will destroy or anonymise that personal information as soon as practicable. Aesop will generally provide individuals with the option of not identifying themselves when entering into transactions when it is lawful and practicable to do so. However, on many occasion, we will not be able to do this. For example, we will need your address to deliver any products purchased through our website. 12. How long do we keep your personal information? We will only retain your personal information to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations. When we no longer need to use personal information, including for any contractual, legal, or regulatory requirement, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to anonymise it so that you can no longer be identified from it. 13. How do we deal with children's privacy? We will never knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of sixteen (16) years. If we become aware that a person under 16 has provided personal information to us, we will remove such personal information from our files. 14. How can you contact us?
