Collection and Use of Personal Information
What Personal Information do we collect?
We collect information from you when you use our Site, order our products on our Site, subscribe to our newsletter, or upload photos to our Site. When ordering products or registering on our Site, we may ask you to provide your name, email address, credit card details, transaction details, mailing address, phone number, and other information which we may reasonably require to provide our products and services. By providing Personal Information to us, you warrant that you have all necessary consents and authorizations required to provide that information.
Where reasonable and practical to do so, we collect Personal Information directly from you. We may also collect Personal Information from third parties such as your representatives or publicly available sources of information. All Personal Information that we or our related bodies corporate collect is reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing our services to you. If someone other than you provides us with personal information about you that we did not ask for and we determine that we could have collected this information from you had we asked for it, we will notify you as soon as practicable.
We may also collect and use non-personal information such as the identity of your Internet browser, the type of operating system you use, your IP address, and the domain name of your Internet service provider to optimize the provision of our goods and services to you.
Some Personal Information (e.g., race, ethnicity, health information, etc.) is considered sensitive and requires a higher level of protection under Privacy Laws. We do not collect sensitive information unless we have your express consent and the collection is reasonably necessary for us to pursue one or more of our functions or activities, or where the information is required or authorized by law or necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim.
Why do we collect Personal Information and how do we use it?
We use Personal Information about you for the primary purpose of delivering our services, providing you with information, processing your orders, and for related or ancillary purposes, including, without limitation:
- To process transactions;
- To personalize your experience and keep you informed of upcoming events and our activities;
- To improve our Site offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you;
- To improve customer service by responding to your customer service requests and support needs;
- To enable us to comply with any regulatory reporting and legal obligations; and
- To enable us to transfer the same to any successors and/or assigns of our business.
We may also use Personal Information for other purposes that you would reasonably expect us to use that information, including sending you information about new developments, products, services, and special offers by post, telephone, or any form of electronic communication. We do this using any email address or other Personal Information you provide to us at any time for this purpose.
Do we share Personal Information with third parties?
We will not disclose information that personally identifies you to any third party, other than as set out in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your Personal Information to third-party service providers that we engage to deliver the services that we provide to you, to assist with delivery, security, banking, payment processing, or technology services, but only in relation to providing our services to you. We may also provide personal information to third parties to assist us with customer analytics. We take reasonable steps to ensure that these organizations are bound by privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your Personal Information - these parties are required to safeguard your Personal Information and only use it for the purposes it was supplied.
In the event of a security incident involving unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of Personal Information where a third party with whom we share Personal Information is involved, we will seek to work cooperatively with them to protect the Personal Information we have shared with them.
We may also disclose your Personal Information where we believe it is required by law, or necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions, or to protect our or others' rights, property, or safety. If you provide Personal Information and request it to be published on the Site, you consent for us to make your Personal Information public.
Direct Marketing
We use personal information about you for the primary purpose of providing you with our services.
If you subscribe to our e-communications (e.g., newsletters, SMS, event updates, etc.), we may send you direct updates about our products and services, event invitations, and for our marketing purposes (including advising you of other products, services, promotional events, programs, and special offers which may be of interest to you). These updates may take the form of emails, SMS, mail, or other forms of communication, in accordance with applicable Spam and Privacy Laws.
You can unsubscribe from our electronic marketing and other communications at any time by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ button in our electronic communications or by contacting our Privacy Officer at info@nearclothing.com.

How do we protect and store your Personal Information?
We use reasonable endeavors to keep all Personal Information we receive from you confidential and in a secure environment. We use a variety of both physical and electronic security measures to maintain the safety of your Personal Information and protect it against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes:
- Restricting physical access to our offices and premises;
- Using a secure server to store Personal Information;
- All supplied sensitive credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our database;
- Credit information can only be accessed by authorized individuals with special access rights to our systems, who are required to keep the information confidential.
Unfortunately, security cannot be guaranteed, and no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. In the event of a security incident, we have procedures in place to promptly investigate the incident and determine if there has been a data breach involving Personal Information, and if so, to assess if it is a breach that would require notification. If it is, we will notify regulators and affected parties in accordance with Privacy Law requirements.
If you reasonably believe there has been an unauthorized use, access, or disclosure of your Personal Information, please contact our Privacy Officer immediately at info@nearclothing.com. We only retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where we are required by law to keep it. We take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify Personal Information that we no longer need.
