The protection of your privacy is important for us. All data we receive is processed and stored according to European regulation GDPR. This data protection and privacy policy is there to inform you how we receive your personal data, how we process and use it. This policy complements the terms and condition of TheTailorNetwork.

 

1. Responsibility and reach

For any questions regarding data protection or any requests to receive information about which data we store about you, or to change or delete your data, please contact us under: dataprotection@TheTailorNetwork.com.

 

This data protection policy describes the generation and use of personal data during the visit and use of services provided by TheTailorNetwork.com. It further extends validity to complementing offering of TheTailorNetwork (e.g. competitions, vouchers or social media).

 

With your acceptance of this data protection and privacy policy you agree that TheTailorNetwork may use your data accordingly.

 

The data protection policies of external services or social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest or YouTube, which you might use during or in combination with a visit of TheTailorNetwork are valid together with this policy.

 

2. Generation and use of data without registration

 

You can use TheTailorNetwork.com without providing us with personal data through registration. While using our website communication related information (e.g. IP address) and usage related information (e.g. content viewed) will be created automatically so you can view the corresponding content. This data will be stored and used without direct link to a person (e.g. by making the IP anonymous) to gather technical and statistical information in order to further improve our website as well as for analytical purposes.

 

3. Usage of personal data during use of TheTailorNetwork

In order to provide you with our services we rely on certain data:

With your registration we collect the so-called master data (name, surname, email address, password and nickname or designer brand name). Through your nickname you are able to use our service towards third parties under a pseudonym.

 

When you decide to place an order via TheTailorNetwork.com we will also receive your invoice and delivery address – bank account information will not be received as payments are handled by Braintree a PayPal Inc. Service. TheTailorNetwork only receives an anonymized transaction confirmation. For the data protection of your bank information please see PayPal’s data protection policy (https://www.braintreepayments.com/en-de/legal).

 

When you upload designs and sell through TheTailorNetwork.com we will receive additional information, including your designer status (private or legal entity), your legal address and registration, your VAT status, your bank account and other payment information, as well as further information about your designer story. For the designs registered we will receive transactional information, e.g. materials, pictures, prices, conditions, sales and delivery.

 

When ordering through TheTailorNetwork we receive additional information required for the completion of your order, like your detailed body measures, your gender, your clothing preferences and depending on the sales channel, your home address or your working address.

 

When registering as a member of the tailoring or pattern creation network, we receive additional information required to provide you with access to orders, like technical and fabric skills, address, hourly rates and bank details.

 

In addition registered members can provide on voluntary basis further information, including for example but not exclusive birthdate, profile descriptions, favorites, pictures, videos, comments, ratings). In general we explicitly advise you when uploading explicitly that this information is visible to other users, but you should generally be aware that public information is visible also to other user. You can change or remove your voluntary data at any time.  In some cases due to the complexity of our system it might be possible that you as user cannot directly remove or change the data. Those cases result from a desire to limit the complexity of our system and not to reduce the liberty of our uses. To change or delete data in those cases, simply send an email to our support and we will conduct the changes or deletions for you.

 

We use your personal data (master data, usage and transaction as well as optional data) for the sole use of TheTailorNetwork to provide you and other members with a great market place experience and community to enjoy and share designer fashion. Therefore we use your data for example (but not exclusively) to:

 

  • understand who our users are and what they want to see

  • to provide and personalize our services, e.g. to allow you to close contracts, to conduct payments (via Braintree), to calculate and invoice commissions and other fee, to order and use vouchers, to run our rating systems and provide your favorite designs, to support you in case of questions or to inform you of certain events,

  • to allow you to participate and communicate with other members of our community (e.g. via ratings, comments or creating your favorites),

  • to provide other members with the information you want to share about you

  • to identify and remove illegal or unwanted activities

 

We do not provide personal data to third parties, unless you explicitly allowed us to do so or the provision of this data is legally allowed and/or required. We provide personal data to other members of TheTailorNetwork where necessary, e.g. for concluding a purchase (contact information for the delivery of finished clothes or fabrics). This data is only allowed to be used by other members for the conclusion of the transaction on TheTailorNetwork.com. It is forbidden to use this data for advertising purposes, unless the other party agreed explicitly. Members are required to consider all data protection requirements when dealing with other members data. Data can also be provided to our affiliates or partners who provide technical or other support (e.g. hosting, delivery or debt collection). Also here we respect all data protection legislation and requires this from our partners. We are required to provide personal or other data to governmental authorities when and to the extend which is required to avoid danger for public safety or for prosecution according to Hungarian law. To protect our valid financial interest we reserve the right to conduct a credit check via third parties.

4. Cookies without relevance for online-marketing

When visiting our websites we will put information in form of a “cookie” on your computer, which will be recognized automatically on your next visit. A cookie is a short text information which is transferred as hypertext-transfer-protocol-header. The cookie will either be sent by the webserver to the browser or generated per scripting. Cookies allow us for instance to adjust our website to your interest. If you don’t want us to recognize your computer, please adjust your browser settings to delete or block all cookies or to warn you before saving a cookie. Unfortunately this might result in you not being able to use all functions of TheTailorNetwork.com to the full extend.

 

TheTailorNetwork is using the following cookies (non-including online advertisement):

a) session cookies (e.g. to protect the account access) or functional cookies (e.g. to keep navigation elements open for help texts or AB-tests);

b) language or regional setting cookies (to store the country or language settings with which TheTailorNetwork.com should be shown).

 

5. Facebook

We use for our platform the services of the Facebook (facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). For example we have installed the facebook „like-button“ (a so called plug-in). This means we have integrated the like-button via a program code provided by facebook. These plug-ins are recognizable by the facebook logo (white „f“ on blue ground oder a thumbs up sign). A full list of facebook social plug-ins and the way they look can be seen under: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

 

With this like-button you share you opinion or provide information about which artworks you like or bought with your facebook friends and other facebook user.

 

As soon as you open our website, data will be sent to facebook, independent of whether you clicked on the facebook buttons or not. When clicking the like-button facebook receives the additional information that you like a certain item. The content of the plug-in is going to be transmitted automatically from facebook to the browser and back. TheTailorNetwork does not have any influence on the extend of the data which facebook will gather through these plug-ins and therefore informs you about our knowledge:

 

Through the integration of this plug-in facebook receives information, that you have visited the corresponding TheTailorNetwork.com website. In case you are logged in at the same time via facebook, facebook can identify you and use this for the purpose of advertising on facebook. When using the like-button or providing a comment the corresponding information will be submitted directly from the browser to facebook and stored there. In case you do not use facebook the service can still gather your IP-address and store it. The purpose and extend of this data gathering as well as what happens with this data and the corresponding user rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found under facebook’s privacy guidance: http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy

If you are a facebook member but you wish not for facebook to gather data about your activity on TheTailorNetwork and to connect it to your data stored on facebook you have to log out of facebook before visiting TheTailorNetwork. In case you are not a facebook member or you have not agreed there to the data gathering and usage, we recommend not to click facebook plug-ins on our offering.

 

6. Google Analytics

 

TheTailorNetwork works with google analytics. Google analytics is a so called web analysis service provided by Google Inc. Google analytics uses cookies to gather data about your usage of this website. The data gathered is generally stored on a server of Google inside the USA. TheTailorNetwork activated on its websites the anonymisation of IP addresses, so that IP addresses of google users inside the member countries of the EU or other partner states of the European Economic Area will get shortened. Only in exception will the full IP address be transferred to a google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this data in our name to analyse your usage of our website and create reports about the website activity as well as providing further services regarding the website and internet usage.

The IP address provided by your browser through google analytics will not be combined with other google data. You can prevent the saving of cookies through settings in your browser software. This might result in you not being able to use our entire offering to the full extend.

 

You can also prevent the gathering and processing of data through google by installing the following browser plug-in: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

7. Other plug-ins and external services

Our websites can contain further plug-ins. Those plug-ins are within the responsibility of the provider (e.g. Pinterest, YouTube). Installed plug-ins can be identified through the corresponding logos (e.g. the Pinterest or YouTube logo).

Plug-ins can already be executed when opening the TheTailorNetwork websites, which can lead to information about your visit (especially IP address) being forwarded and stored at the plug-in provider. In case you are registered and logged-in at this provider, your visit on our websites can be allocated to your profile with this provider. When clicking on the plug-ins, this will become visible to third parties. This information will also be transferred directly to the plug-in provider and stored there. You can prevent the identification through logging-out from these plug-in providers before visiting our websites and deleting the cookies. TheTailorNetwork does not have any influence on the extend of the data the provider gathers via a plug-in or how this data is used. Where available we ask you to check the data protection or privacy policy of the respective provider.

Often you can adjust your settings in your account with the respective provider. Please inform yourself directly at the provider about the kind of personal data they gather, their extend and usage as well as the processing of this data outside the EU.

For user who are not members of the plug-in provider or its services or who did not agree to its data gathering and usage we recommend that they do not use or click the corresponding plug-ins.
