COOKIES AND DATA

WE´RE PROJECT applies European standards when it comes to data (the GDPR regulations). And we apply this to all our customers, regardless of where you live.

Personal data

First, it’s important for you to understand what personal data is in terms of European regulations (GDPR). It is any data from which a person can be identified, including your email address, a cookie (read more about them below), your location data, or anything associated with you, for example, anything you looked at online, or anything you bought. This is a much wider definition of personal data than in US law which is limited to your name, age and financial information.

Sensitive personal data

In terms of European regulations, there’s a special class of personal data, referred to as sensitive personal data. That’s data concerning someone’s race, ethnic origin, political views, religious or philosophical believes; trade-union membership, health, or sex life. WE´RE PROJECT does not collect or hold or - importantly - try and infer any such data. It also does not work with data processors (see below) who do.

WE´RE PROJECT the data collector

In terms of GDPR WE´RE PROJECT - in most cases - act as what is called a data collector. A data collector is an entity which the data subject (you) is transacting with and therefore trusting their personal data to. As a merchant, WE´RE PROJECT is considered a data collector.

Data processors

You also need to know what a data processor is. It is any company that is storing and/or processing the data on behalf of a data collector. Our eCommerce platform, shopify, is a data processor. It is our responsibility as a data collector to ensure that any company that is processing the data of our EU customers (and in our case everybody) is compliant with GDPR.

There are many things that a data processor needs to comply with, like only processing data to the extent entrusted to them by WE´RE PROJECT. In other words, a data processor can’t take the data WE´RE PROJECT is sharing and opportunistically do something with it. If we share cookie data (see below) with Facebook to show you a total look, they can not use it for another purpose. They must erase or return data back to us on request at the end of a service contract. And any processor is responsible for ensuring that they are employing “appropriate technical and organisational measures” to secure personal information in their possession.

Here is a list of the data processors we use:

Shopify (the cloud-based software that powers our online shops), Klaviyo and Mailchimp (for our email lists) and Facebook and Instagram (for advertising).

We checked. All of these claim to be GDPR complaint. All of these may take data outside of the European Economic Area for processing. To be able to do this they need to have Privacy Shield Verification. Again we checked. All of them have it.

How we collect data

We collect data to be able to complete a transaction and keep you informed about a purchase. (When your purchase ship for example). This is not the same as a marketing email. We do not assume a transaction with our business implies consent. We require opt-in (and not opt out) for permission to send you emails about new products, sample sales or news. We also require your express permission to use cookies to track your use of our site (see below).

Almost all modern websites use cookies. They have many uses, such as: tracking users as they navigate around a website; remembering user preferences and shopping cart contents; auto-logins for visitors coming back to a site; and website security.
