This Privacy Policy describes how Relationship Compass and its subsidiaries and affiliates (RelationshipCompass “we,” “us,” and/or “our”) handle personal data we collect online (through our websites) and offline (through customer support channels, our retail locations, and in-person promotional activities). We call all of these the “Services”. This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal data we collect and process, how we may use and share the data, and the choices that are available to you with respect to our handling of your personal data.

Information We Collect

We collect personal data from you when you provide it to us directly and through your use of the Site. This information may include:

Information you provide to us when you use our Site (e.g. your name, contact details, gender, product reviews, and any information which you add to your account profile);

Transaction and billing information, if you make any purchases from us or using our Site (e.g. credit/debit card details and delivery information);

Records of your interactions with us (e.g. if you contact our customer service team, interact with us on social media);

Information you provide us when you enter a competition or participate in a survey;

Information collected automatically, using cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g. which pages you viewed and whether you clicked on a link in one of our email updates). We may also collect information about the device you use to access our Site;

Other information necessary to provide the Site, for example we may access your location if you give us your consent.

If you also shop in one of our stores, we may combine information you give us in-store (e.g. if you make a purchase or join our mailing list in-store) with the information above.

Information we collect by automated means

When you visit our sites, interact with our communications, or visit our stores, we collect certain information automatically. To collect this information, we may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as a pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We may also collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites. The information we collect automatically may include:

URLs that refer visitors to our websites;

Search terms used to reach our websites;

Details about the emails we send, such as opens, clicks, and unsubscribes;

Details about the devices that are used to access our websites (such as IP address, browser information, device information, and operating system information);

Details about your interaction with our websites (such as the date, time, length of stay, and specific pages accessed during your visits to our websites, referral activity, and which emails you may have opened);

Information about activity in our stores, such as through closed circuit TVs for security monitoring or geofencing to identify traffic in our stores; and

Usage information (such as the number and frequency of visitors to our websites).

if you have one, the device you use to connect to our Services, or email or social media accounts that you use to engage with Relationship Compass.

How We Use Your Information

Depending on how you use our Site, your interactions with us, and the permissions you give us, the purposes for which we use your personal data include:

To fulfill your order and maintain your online account.

To manage and respond to any queries or complaints to our customer service team.

To personalize the Site to you and show you content we think you will be most interested in, based on your account information, your purchase history and your browsing activity.

To improve and maintain the Site, and monitor its usage.

For market research, e.g. we may contact you for feedback about our products.

To send you marketing messages and show you targeted advertising, where we have your consent or are otherwise permitted to do so.

For security purposes, to investigate fraud and where necessary to protect ourselves and third parties.

To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We rely on the following legal basis, under data protection law, to process your personal data:

Because the processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or take steps prior to entering into a contract with you (e.g. where you have made a purchase with us, we use your personal data to process the payment and fulfill your order).

Because we have obtained your consent (e.g. where you contact us with a query, where you add optional information to your account profile, or if you consent to receive marketing from us).

Because it is in our legitimate interests as an e-commerce provider to maintain and promote our services. We are always seeking to understand more about our customers in order to offer the best products and customer experience. We use information about you to tailor your view of the Site, to make it more interesting and relevant in respect of the products and offers on view.

Who May Have Access to Your Information

Third-Party Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers acting on RelationshipCompass’s behalf to perform some of the services described above. For example, we share certain information with service providers who assist with the processing of credit cards and payments, hosting, managing, and servicing our data, distributing emails, conducting research and analysis, advertising, analytics, or administering certain services and features. We also may share information about you with our professional advisors, including accountants, auditors, lawyers, insurers, and bankers, if needed. These service providers may change over time, but we will always use trusted service providers who we require to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in line with our policies. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and, as appropriate, in accordance with our instructions and the provisions of this Policy and applicable law.

Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others

We may allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the internet and in mobile applications. They may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites and applications, including your IP address, device ID, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in apps, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used by RelationshipCompass and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of the content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other websites, and better understand your online activity. For more information about interest-based ads, or to opt-out of having your web browsing information used for interest-based advertising purposes, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices. European users may opt-out of receiving targeted advertising through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

We may also work with third parties to serve ads to you as part of a customized campaign on third-party platforms (such as Facebook or Google). As part of these ad campaigns, we or third-party platforms may convert information about you, such as your email address, into a unique value that can be matched with a user account on these platforms to allow us to learn about your interests and to serve you advertising that is customized to your interests. Note that the third-party platforms may offer you choices about whether you see these types of customized ads.

Your Rights and Choices

Managing or deactivating your RelationshipCompass account.

You may review, update, or modify your account information, including profile, contact, payment, and shipping information, at any time by logging into your RelationshipCompass account.

Opting out of email marketing

You may unsubscribe from our promotional emails at any time by following the instructions included in those emails. If you opt-out of receiving such communications, note that we may continue to send you non-promotional emails (such as order confirmation emails or emails about changes to our legal terms).

Restricting cookies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our websites.

Children

Our Services are not designed for children. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We work hard to keep your data safe. We use a combination of technical, administrative, and physical controls to maintain the security of your data. This includes using Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) to encrypt many of our Services. No method of transmitting or storing data is completely secure, however. If you have a security-related concern, please contact us.

Data Transfers and Privacy Shield

Relationship Compass is headquartered in the United States, and we have operations and entities in the United States and other countries. As such, we may transfer your personal data to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. We will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.

In compliance with the Privacy Shield Principles, we are committed to resolving complaints about our processing of your personal data. EU, UK and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our compliance with the Privacy Shield program should first contact us. We have further committed to refer unresolved Privacy Shield complaints to JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider located in the United States. If you do not receive timely acknowledgment of your complaint from us, or if we have not addressed your complaint to your satisfaction, please contact or visit https://www.jamsadr.com/file-an-eu-us-privacy-shield-or-safe-harbor-claim for more information or to file a complaint. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to you.

Under certain conditions, you may be able to invoke binding arbitration to resolve your complaint.

If we share personal data transferred to the U.S. under the Privacy Shield with a third-party service provider that processes such data on our behalf, then we will be liable for that third party’s processing in violation of the Privacy Shield Principles, unless we can prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
