Who will we share this data with, where and when?
With your consent (where required), we share your personal data with trusted third-party service providers, suppliers, affiliates, divisions, partners, sponsors, agents and representatives we have engaged to perform business-related functions on our behalf. For example, to: (i) conduct research and analytics; (ii) create content; (iii) provide customer support services; (iv) conduct or support marketing; (v) fulfil orders; (vi) handle payments; (vii) host Services; (viii) administer contests; and (ix) maintain databases.
In all cases, the third party is acting on ALLURESSORIES’s express instructions and in accordance with this Policy, confidentiality and levels of security.
Without your consent, we share your personal data:
- with third party platforms such as Facebook or Google to send you targeted advertisements on our behalf;
- in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena, a law enforcement or government agency's request;
- with third parties if this will help us to enforce our policies and terms of use, to check for potential illegal activity (such as copyright infringement or fraud) or to protect the safety of other users of the Services; and
- if we, or one of our business units, undergoes a business transition, like a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part of our assets.
We operate globally, so we do need to transfer your personal data internationally. In particular, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in Hong Kong and the United States.
How long will you retain my data?
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 in connection with performing a contract or for a competition, we keep the data for 6 years.
Where we process registration data, excluding in the circumstances outlined above, we retain your data for 6 years.

You can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing).
These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.
To exercise any of these rights, or to obtain other information, such as a copy of a legitimate interests balancing test, you can get in touch with us using the details set out below.
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.
Withdrawing consent or otherwise objecting to direct marketing
Wherever we rely on your consent, you will always be able to withdraw that consent, although we may have other legal grounds for processing your data for other purposes, such as those set out above. In some cases, we are able to send you direct marketing without your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests.
