We will indicate whether this collection involves personal information and, if it does, whether providing your personal information is voluntary or mandatory for the service. Please be aware that where collection is mandatory, we may not be able to provide the relevant products or services to you if you do not provide that information to us.  Please select from the different sections of this Privacy Policy to learn more about what personal information we collect and how we use it. If we wish to use your personal information for purposes other than those stated in this Privacy Policy, we will obtain your consent where required by applicable laws.

We may collect the following information: 

Contact Information and other identifying information: your name, postal address, phone numbers and e-mail addresses. You acknowledge that we may also obtain information about you as a result of authentication or identity checks (for example in connection with our standard fraud checks when you make a purchase on our Site or Application). We use this information to identify you as a customer, to process and manage your order, to deliver products and services, to process payments, to update our records and to generally manage our relationship with you, including your customer account under our terms with you. Providing us with certain personal information is voluntary but we may not be able to process your order and/or send you the required order acknowledgement and shipping confirmation communications if you do not provide us with certain requested information.

We may also use your contact information to send you marketing communications and display advertising and to contact you in relation to service-related matters, including aftercare services or to assist you in relation to prospective purchases on our Site and/or Application and, on occasion, to request and respond to feedback relating to Burberry. This feedback may relate to matters including Burberry’s brand, product and services and/or your experience and satisfaction with Burberry, including in-store, on our Site and/or Application. We will only use your contact information where permitted to do so in accordance with applicable laws or if we have your consent to do so (if required by applicable laws).

Payment Information: information related to your credit card, debit card, and/or other payment information to process payments in connection with your orders.

Demographic Information: we may ask you for your gender, birthday and age (and where you have a customer account we may infer your age bracket based on your engagement with our stores). You may also provide us with information about yourself, your product size preferences and lifestyle interests on our Site or Application or when using interactive content in Burberry store or events. We use this information and/or your customer account and profile information for our internal demographic insights into our customers, to offer you an enhanced service according to your preferences, including by identifying relevant products, services and events which may be of interest to you, and personalising your experience with Burberry.

Other Account and Transactional Information: if you have a customer account (whether created online or in-store) or have purchased Burberry products, including through our business partners (including department stores in which Burberry has a concession), we may also collect information about the products you browse online or purchase, where you purchased the products from and other information related to your purchases or which is otherwise relevant to your customer relationship with Burberry. We use this information to manage your orders and our relationship with you, for our internal demographic insights into our customers, to offer you an enhanced service according to your preferences (including any style preferences you may share when using our Applications), such as identifying relevant products, services and events which may be of interest to you, personalising your experience with Burberry and sharing with you information about your past purchases.

Together with non-personal information, we may also use this information for our internal marketing analysis and demographic studies, to analyse, profile and monitor customer patterns so we can consistently improve our products and services. This means that we can offer more personalised and integrated shopping and interactive experiences to our customers across our stores, our Site and Applications.

Internet and other electronic activity: Where permitted under applicable laws or with your consent (if so required by applicable laws), we may use information about how you use our Site, Application and any in-store services to personalise our communications to you, tailor the advertisements you are shown and/or the content appearing on our Site and Application and to personalise our in-store service to you, so as to make the Site, our Application and our services and communications more relevant to you and to enable your use of any interactive features of our services. We also use this information to maintain and improve the Site, our Application, and our services.

We may process information about the device you are using to connect to the services on our Site, Applications or any interactive content we may provide. This may include the type of device you use, your internet browser, your location based on the unique identifier for your device such as an Internet Protocol address (“IP address”) or a code for an Application running on your device. When you attend a Burberry store or event, we may also use technologies that connect to the functionality on your mobile device (such as Bluetooth and GPS) and collect information based on Wi-Fi, mobile phone masts, beacons and other in-store technology. See further information regarding Wi-Fi usage below.

We use this information to ensure the proper functioning and security of our Site and Application, to optimise our services to you and to better understand how our content and services are used and their effectiveness. The information collected in-store through your mobile device using these technologies also gives us aggregated and anonymous statistics about footfall traffic in our stores and information about the average gender, size, height, ethnicity and country/region of origin of our visitors but it is not used for, or available to, Burberry at an individual visitor level.

Location information: When you visit our Site we may seek to determine your country-level location in order to direct you to the appropriate domain (internet location) of the Site, based on the region you appear to be visiting the Site from. We will do so using information being transmitted publicly via the internet, including your IP address. Where you request location services provided by us, for example in order to find the nearest store to you or to provide more precise location based content, we will either: (i) do a look up against address information given by you, such as using your postcode to find our nearest store; (ii) look at the country/region in which you are in according to the unique identifier (e.g. an IP address) for your device; or (iii) if you enable location services on your mobile device, we may establish your real time location relating to the latitude and longitude of your mobile device, through GPS signals, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection information including MAC addresses perceived by your device, where this is available. In the case of mobile device location services, you can change your location preferences at any time by managing your device settings.

Wi-Fi usage information: If you register for our free Wi-Fi service at our stores or events, we will collect certain information about your device, including MAC or IP address, connection date and time and the location(s) at which you connected to our Wi-Fi Service, for the purpose of providing the Wi-Fi service under our terms with you. When you connect to our Wi-Fi service you will be directed to our Site and we may collect and process information using “cookies” and other similar technologies. For more details please see “Location information” above and “Cookies” below.

Inferences: We may create inferences drawn from the categories of personal information described above in order to create a profile about you to reflect your preferences, characteristics, behaviour and attitudes. We use this information to personalise and improve our services and to better understand the interests, to preferences of our key customer audiences, and to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of interest to you.

Sources of Personal Information

From You. We collect personal information from you directly. We may also collect personal information from you indirectly, including through your use of our Site and/or Application and/or where we draw inferences about you (both as described above).

From Third Parties. We may collect personal information that you provide to our business partners to be shared with us, for example, if you sign-up to Burberry marketing on their site or platform. We may also supplement information we collect about you with marketing and demographic information which we receive from our business partners (which may include departments in which Burberry has a concession) and affiliated third-party companies, in addition to other information which is available in the public domain or which we are otherwise lawfully permitted to be provided with in order to ensure the accuracy of our records, better understand the interests and preferences of our key customer audiences and improve our service to our customers. If you don’t want us to use your personal information in this way then you can contact us at any time to ask us to stop (see “Contacting Burberry" below).

Transaction-related information may be shared with us by our business partners (which would include department stores in which Burberry has a concession) and other third parties (including law enforcement agencies and insurance providers) in order to manage and/or support with orders, to identify and investigate suspected fraudulent transactions, for sanctions-related screening purposes and to support the security of our services, where permitted in accordance with applicable laws.

Information from or about your friends
We sometimes run promotions (for example on social media platforms) where you can tell us about a friend or someone else who you have a personal relationship with and two-way communications based on your shared interests, experiences, opinions and any other relevant factors (a “Friend”) who may be interested in our products, services, Site or Application. We may therefore also receive information about you from your friends and acquaintances who chose to provide it.

You may only provide us with information about your Friend with their permission. If your Friend gives you their permission to provide us with their details, then we will only use their information for that reason and not to send them any other unrelated offers. We may also mention that it was you who shared their details with us in the message we send to them.

China customers – WeChat official accounts and WeChat mini-programmes (the “WeChat Applications”)

Burberry collects personal information from and about you when you use and interact with Burberry WeChat Applications and may supplement the information we hold about you, including your customer account profile, with this information. Burberry WeChat Applications are each treated as a Burberry “Application” for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

We collect and process your WeChat openid when you access and use Burberry WeChat Applications and may also collect and process your unionid and other WeChat profile data if you authorise the Burberry WeChat Application to access this. We process this information to identify you and understand your browsing behaviour and interactions with the Burberry WeChat Application so that you can unlock user experiences and we can personalise our services to you. We will also collect information that you directly input into any Burberry WeChat Application in order to provide the services and/or perform the action requested, for example, when you book an in-store service, make a purchase and/or when you upload any content. With your consent, we will use your WeChat profile data and other information you input into any Burberry WeChat Application to send WeChat notifications or contact you in relation to a particular user experience or requested in-store services.

Personal information provided to Burberry via the Site, Application and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL), encryption technology. When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you are about to enter a secure area or display a padlock image. The Site and the Application use this encryption technology to protect your information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address and credit card number. Our customer service centre and stores also operate over a private, secure network. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

The Site and/or Application may from time to time contain links to other websites not controlled by us. We do not accept responsibility or liability for the privacy practices, data collected or the content of such other websites. The operators of these linked websites are not under a duty to abide by this Privacy Policy. If there are terms and conditions, other privacy statements or policies appearing on those websites, you should also review them carefully as your use of those sites may be subject to them.

You must be at least 13 years’ old (or 14 years’ old, if you are a customer in mainland China, or 18 years old if you are a customer in Saudi Arabia) to use our Site and Applications. If you are under 13 or a minor in your country or state or region of residence, your parent or legal guardian must provide their information and agree to this Privacy Policy on your behalf and you may only access and use our Site and Applications with permission from your parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under the age of 13 (14 for mainland China and 18 for Saudi Arabia) or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will delete such information from our records.

When you choose to (and your device enables you to, subject to your device model and settings) virtually ‘try on’ Burberry products such as glasses, using the in-Application virtual activation technology (“Virtual Activation”), the Application will request access to your device’s camera. Where you permit the Application to access your device’s camera, the Virtual Activation will access the image of your face through your device’s front camera, and, using third party software, detect the co-ordinates of your facial features and measure these by distance. These measurements will result in the formation of a generic face model within the Application to match the dimensions, shape, and current expression of the detected face. This model is then used as the basis for overlaying content that follows the shape of your face (for example, overlaying an image of glasses or beauty products). Neither the Application nor Burberry will be able to uniquely identify you based on this data and neither Burberry, the Application, nor Burberry’s third party Service Providers shall capture or otherwise collect or record any personal information from this experience, including any images of you, or the co-ordinates. The data generated by the Virtual Activation will be stored locally on your device and once you have finished with the experience and exited the Application, the data will be deleted. Where you are offered the option to have this data emailed to you, your email address will be stored temporarily and deleted after the data has been sent to you.

The use of the Virtual Activation is voluntary and you will have the option to agree to or deny access to your device’s camera in order to use the Virtual Activation. Unless you choose to activate the Virtual Activation and permit access to your device’s camera, the Application will not have access to your device’s camera.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The amended Privacy Policy will be posted on the Site or Application. Please check this page regularly for changes to this Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy we will notify you and obtain your consent (if required by applicable law) before they take effect either through the Site or Application or by sending you a notification.  Any such material changes will only apply to personal information collected after the revised Privacy Policy took effect.
