PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) is the most rigorous standard in the payment industry today. PCI DSS standards are enforced by VISA, MasterCard and the banks and specify the technical aspects of a payment service as well as operational policies and procedures. JoJoBoutique are working with AIB, SagePay, PayPal, AMEX, WorldPay to ensure that all these security obligations are being fulfilled and your data is as safe as can be. Direct marketing We will use contact details you give us to deliver promotional information that you request or that we feel may interest you. We will also use this information to gain insights into the needs and interests of our customer base and to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing activities. Unless we have obtained your contact details in the course of an online sale or negotiation for a sale and you have indicated you are happy to receive our marketing communications, we will only contact you for marketing purposes by email and/or SMS if you have consented to this. When we use your data for our direct marketing purposes we do so for our legitimate interests in promoting our business and the goods we offer. We keep information for direct marketing purposes for as long as you continue to be interested in receiving our marketing communications. You can tell us to stop using your details for marketing purposes by contacting us (see contact details below) and can opt out of email marketing at any time by using our unsubscribe feature. Where necessary we share this data with our suppliers and service providers. Otherwise we will not share your information with any third party unless:

we have your permission,
we are required to do so by law,
this is necessary so that we can enforce our terms of use, rights or property or the rights or property of any third party, or

this is necessary in connection with the sale of business or its assets (in which case your details will be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser’s advisers and will be passed to the new owners). Information we hold for direct marketing purposes is stored within, and not transferred outside of, the European Economic Area. How we keep our systems secure We have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. These security measures include firewalls, data backup procedures and where appropriate, encryption and secure internet transactions. Despite these measures, “perfect security” on the internet does not exist. Storage of your personal data We will only keep your personal data for as long as we need to in order to fulfil the relevant purpose(s) it was collected, as set out above in this Notice, and for as long as we are required to keep it for legal purposes. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy. Data subjects’ rights Data protection laws provide data subjects with the following rights, (subject to certain exemptions and conditions in some cases) to:

request access to their personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables them to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about them and to check that we are lawfully processing it;
request correction of the personal information that we hold about them. This enables them to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about them corrected;
request erasure of their personal information. This enables them to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Data subjects also have the right to ask us to delete or remove their personal information where they have exercised their right to object to processing (see below);
request the restriction of processing of their personal information. This enables them to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about them, for example if they want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it;
request a copy of their personal information which they have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the right to transfer it, or to require us to transfer it directly, to another controller; and
complain to the supervisory authority, which in the United Kingdom is the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Data subjects also have the right to object to the processing of their personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about their particular situation which makes them want to object to processing on this ground. They also have the right to object where we are processing their personal information for direct marketing purposes. Data subjects will not have to pay a fee to access their personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights above). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if their request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances. We may need to request specific information from the data subject to help us confirm their identity and ensure their right to access the information (or to exercise any of their other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. Contacting us If you have any queries, comments or requests regarding this Policy, or you would like to exercise any of your rights as a data subject set out above, you can contact our Data Protection Officer in the following ways:
