Legal Basis for Processing
We will process your personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We collect and process information about you only where we have the legal basis for doing so. This depends on the services you use and how you use them, meaning we collect and use your information only where:

- it satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote our services or to protect our legal rights and interests;
- you give us consent to do so for a specific purpose (for example, you might consent to us sending you our newsletter); or
- we need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.
Where you consent to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time (but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place).
We don’t keep personal information for longer than is necessary. While we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and cannot guarantee absolute data security. If necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal obligation or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

Wholesale Customers
The General Data Protection Regulation contains rules concerning the protection of natural persons when their personal data are processed, as well as rules on the free movement of personal data, as stressed in Article 1(1) GDPR. Article 1(2) GDPR provides that the GDPR seeks to protect fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and, more specifically, their right to the protection of personal data. It means that, as such, the Regulation does not deal with the rights and freedoms of legal persons, such as companies.
Article 1(14) also states explicitly: "The protection afforded by this Regulation should apply to natural persons, whatever their nationality or place of residence, in relation to the processing of their personal data. This Regulation does not cover the processing of personal data which concerns legal persons and in particular undertakings established as legal persons, including the name and the form of the legal person and the contact details of the legal person."
This means that if you are a company/store/legal entity purchasing from us, the information you give to us in order to do so is not covered under the GDPR. However, Taylored Expressions still takes your right to privacy seriously. We will collect from you only the information needed to process and ship your orders to you. We store all of this information securely on our servers in the United States, and we do not share it with third parties. If your store is listed in our Store Locator, this information is available to anyone who visits our website. If you would like the information changed or removed, please email us at support@tayloredexpressions.com and we will comply within 30 days. Your email must be in English.
Sale of Personal Information to Third Parties
We will never sell your personal information to a third party.
International Transfers of Personal Information
The personal information we collect is stored and processed in the United States, or where we or our partners, affiliates and third-party providers maintain facilities. By providing us with your personal information, you consent to the disclosure to these overseas third parties.
We will ensure that any transfer of personal information from countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries outside the EEA will be protected by appropriate safeguards, for example by using standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission, or the use of binding corporate rules or other legally accepted means.
Where we transfer personal information from a non-EEA country to another country, you acknowledge that third parties in other jurisdictions may not be subject to similar data protection laws to the ones in our jurisdiction. There are risks if any such third party engages in any act or practice that would contravene the data privacy laws in our jurisdiction and this might mean that you will not be able to seek redress under our jurisdiction’s privacy laws.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit, typically containing information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognize your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
How are cookies used?
Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g., logging in), to track site usage (e.g., analytics), to store your user settings (e.g., time zone, notification preferences), and to personalize your content (e.g., advertising, language). Cookies set by the website you are visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies” and typically only track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies are called “third-party cookies” and can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
Types of cookies and how we use them:
Essential cookies: Essential cookies are crucial to your experience of a website, enabling core features like user logins, account management, shopping carts and payment processing. We use essential cookies to enable certain functions on our website.
Performance cookies: Performance cookies are used in the tracking of how you use a website during your visit, without collecting personal information about you. Typically, this information is anonymous and aggregated with information tracked across all site users, to help companies understand visitor usage patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors their users may encounter and make better strategic decisions in improving their audience’s overall website experience. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting by third-party services. We use performance cookies on our site.
Functionality cookies: Functionality cookies are used in collecting information about your device and any settings you may configure on the website you’re visiting (like language and time zone).

This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. We use targeting/advertising cookies on our site to help keep track of the items you put into your shopping cart including when you have abandoned your cart. This information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via email and SMS.
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our websites (e.g., analytics providers, content partners). We grant these third parties access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies in order to deliver the services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. As we have no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by Taylored Expressions' cookie policy.
Our third-party privacy promise:
We review the privacy policies of all our third-party providers before enlisting their services to ensure their practices align with ours. We will never knowingly include third-party services that compromise or violate the privacy of our users.
How you can control or opt out of cookies?

If you browse websites from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device.
Although some cookies can be blocked with little impact on your experience of a website, blocking all cookies may mean you are unable to access certain features and content across the sites you visit.
