3.2 Nature of Data Provision and Consequences of Non-Provision
Pursuant to Article 13(2)(e) GDPR, we inform you of the following regarding whether the provision of personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract, as well as whether the data subject is obliged to provide the personal data and the possible consequences of failure to provide such data:

4. PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING
Processing is lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the conditions listed in Article 6(1) GDPR applies. We process your personal data for the following specific purposes, each resting on a distinct and identified legal basis:
Purpose: Brand Newsletter
Description: General communications regarding new collections, editorial content, and brand events.
Legal Basis: Consent - Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
Purpose: Personalised Marketing
Description: Specialised communications based on your profile and previous interactions with the brand, ensuring you receive content that is relevant to your interests.
Legal Basis: Consent - Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
Purpose: Profiling and Behavioural Analysis
Description: We use Klaviyo to analyse preferences and engagement patterns to optimise the quality and relevance of our digital presence and communications.
Legal Basis: Consent - Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
Purpose: Platform and Service Improvement
Description: Internal analysis of aggregate, anonymised data to improve our services, detect technical issues, and enhance user experience.
Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest - Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (see note below)
Purpose: Compliance with Legal Obligations
Description: Processing necessary to fulfil legal, regulatory, or accounting obligations applicable to Des Phemmes.
Legal Basis: Legal Obligation - Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR
Purpose: Execution of the purchase contract
Description: Processing of order data, delivery address, and payment information necessary to fulfil the purchase contract, including order management, shipping, delivery communications, and returns/refund handling.
Legal Basis: Performance of a contract - Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR
Purpose: Website security and operation
Description: Processing of navigation data (IP address, technical logs, browser type) necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the website, prevent fraudulent or unlawful use, and safeguard IT security.
Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest - Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
Note on Legitimate Interest: Processing is lawful where it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We have conducted and documented an internal balancing test (available in our Record of Processing Activities pursuant to Article 30 GDPR) and concluded that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. This legal basis covers: (i) the internal analysis of aggregated or anonymised data for the purpose of maintaining and improving our digital services; and (ii) the processing of navigation data (including IP addresses and technical log data) for the purpose of ensuring the security and correct functioning of the website. This legal basis does not extend to direct marketing, personalised communications, or profiling activities, all of which require and are based on your explicit consent. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time - see Section 8 below.
5. AUTOMATED PROFILING
We use Klaviyo to analyse your preferences and engagement patterns. This involves automated processing of your personal data to evaluate certain aspects of your behaviour, such as your interests, interaction frequency, and content preferences.
Logic of the profiling: Based on your engagement data (e.g., which emails you open, which links you click, and your browsing behaviour on our platforms), we build a profile of your interests and preferences. This profile is used to determine which content and communications are most likely to be relevant to you.
Significance and envisaged consequences: The profiling is used solely for the purpose of tailoring our marketing communications to your interests. It does not result in any automated decision that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. No decision producing legal effects or similarly significant effects on you is taken on the basis of automated processing alone.
You may at any time withdraw your consent to profiling and object to this processing by contacting us at info@desphemmes.com or by clicking the relevant link in any of our communications - see Section 8 below.
6. DATA SHARING, PROCESSORS AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
6.1 General Principle
Your data is stored securely and is never sold to third parties. It is shared only with the following categories of recipients:
6.2 Data Processors (Article 28 GDPR)
Where processing is to be carried out on behalf of a controller, the controller shall use only processors providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR and ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. The processing by a processor shall be governed by a contract or other legal act under Union or Member State law, that is binding on the processor with regard to the controller and that sets out the subject-matter, duration, nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data and categories of data subjects, and the obligations and rights of the controller.
All third parties acting as data processors on our behalf are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that are fully compliant with Article 28 GDPR, including provisions on documented instructions, confidentiality obligations, security measures, sub-processor authorisation, cooperation with supervisory authorities, and deletion or return of data upon termination. A list of our current data processors is available upon request.
Our principal data processors include:
Klaviyo Inc. - marketing automation platform (see Section 6.3 for international transfer information);
Technical and IT service providers - providers of hosting, CRM, and e-commerce infrastructure services, bound by DPAs and prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing agreed services to Des Phemmes;
Analytics providers - providers of web analytics services, operating on aggregated or anonymised data where possible.
6.3 International Transfers
Any transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organisation may take place where the Commission has decided that the third country, a territory or one or more specified sectors within that third country, or the international organisation in question ensures an adequate level of protection. In the absence of an adequacy decision, a controller or processor may transfer personal data to a third country or an international organisation only if the controller or processor has provided appropriate safeguards, and on condition that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects are available.
Klaviyo Inc. is headquartered in the United States of America and officially participates in the Data Privacy Framework program, ensuring compliant data transfer for EU.
Any other transfer of personal data to a country outside the EEA is carried out only where an adequate level of protection is ensured by means of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR. You may request a copy of the applicable transfer mechanisms by contacting us at info@desphemmes.com.
For further information on Klaviyo's data processing practices, please refer to Klaviyo's Privacy Policy.
6.4 Competent Authorities
Where required by law, regulation, or binding court order, we may disclose your personal data to competent public authorities or law enforcement bodies. In such cases, we disclose only the minimum data necessary to comply with the legal obligation.
7. DATA RETENTION

Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR): Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
