Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to Vestis Fashion Group Inc. and its corporate affiliates (collectively “Vestis”). This Policy explains how Vestis collects, uses, discloses, and retains your information.

Vestis may change this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a new version of this Privacy Policy on Vestis’ website at www.Vestisfashion.com. Vestis’ collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your personal information will be governed by the version of this Privacy Policy in effect at that time. Your continued dealings with Vestis subsequent to any changes to this Privacy Policy will signify your consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your personal information in accordance with the amended Privacy Policy. Accordingly, you should check the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy and review any amendments since the last version.

Your Consent

When you provide Vestis with your personal information, you consent to Vestis’ collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Personal Information and Collection

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, as further defined under British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act or other applicable laws. Personal information excludes the name, position name or title, business telephone number, business address, business e-mail, and business fax number of an individual, as well as any publicly available information as designated under applicable laws, such as information available from a public telephone directory or from a public registry.

You may be asked to voluntarily provide your personal information to Vestis anytime you are in contact with Vestis, including when you purchase products or services from Vestis through retail stores or websites or applications. In those circumstances, you can choose not to provide certain requested personal information, but then you may not be able to purchase products or services or access or use certain features of Vestis’ websites or applications.

For example, when you purchase products or services from Vestis (including at a Vestis retail store, or through a Vestis website or application), when you create or manage an account with Vestis (including a user account for a Vestis website or application), when you send us an e-mail, when you register or subscribe for Vestis’ newsletters or promotions, or participate in Vestis’ promotions, sweepstakes, contests, or surveys, when you contact Vestis’ Customer Service and when you utilize certain features and functionality of Vestis’ websites and applications, Vestis (or its service provider) may collect a variety of your personal information, including your name, date of birth, credit card and payment information, mailing and shipping addresses, e-mail address, phone numbers, and any other personal information you voluntarily provide. In addition, Vestis may retain your purchase history from both retail stores and Vestis’ websites and applications.

You might also provide Vestis with the personal information (such as name, e-mail, mailing, and shipping address) of other persons, such as family or friends for whom you purchase products or services (including gift cards) or to whom you ship purchases, or friends that you register for a refer-a-friend promotion or similar services, or friends that you share a product or article with from Vestis’ websites or applications. You hereby represent and warrant that you have the consent of such other persons before you provide their personal information to Vestis.

Accuracy and Access to Personal Information

You can help Vestis maintain the accuracy and completeness of your information (including your Vestis website or application account information) by notifying Vestis of any changes to your personal information. You may update your Vestis website or application account information through Vestis’ websites or applications.

You may request access to your personal information and information about Vestis’ collection, use, disclosure, and retention of that information by sending your request to Vestis’ Privacy Officer at one of the addresses noted below. Subject to applicable exceptions and limitations prescribed by law, you will be given reasonable access to your personal information, and will be entitled to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and to have it amended as appropriate.

Vestis may combine your personal information collected through various sources, including information collected at Vestis’ retail stores and through Vestis’ websites and applications, and information obtained from other sources.

Vestis may use personal information to create non-personal or aggregated information, as defined in the next section, and Vestis may then use, disclose, transfer, and retain the non-personal or aggregated information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Non-Personal or Aggregated Information

Vestis also creates and collects “non-personal or aggregated information” – information that is not associated with or linked to your personal information, including personal information that has been aggregated or otherwise anonymized so that it no longer relates to an identifiable individual.
Vestis may use, disclose, transfer and retain non-personal or aggregated information for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever.

Cookies and Other Technologies

Vestis’ websites, applications, online services, e-mail messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixel or gif tags, and action tags. Those technologies collect information that assists Vestis to improve products and services, advertising, customer communications and the shopping experience.
For example, Vestis may use information collected through cookies and similar technologies to recognize the user of Vestis’ websites and applications, determine a user’s general location to tailor the website and application content to that user’s location, track use of the websites and applications, offer personalized web page content, information and advertisements, and otherwise facilitate and improve the website and application experience. You may choose to decline or disable cookies if your web browser permits, but doing so may affect your ability to access or use certain features of Vestis’ websites and applications.
Vestis may use cookies, web beacons, pixel or gif tags, and action tags to confirm that e-mail messages have been delivered and opened. You may opt-out of receiving e-mails in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The foregoing information may be collected directly by Vestis or by its third party service providers.

Other Websites/Online Services

Vestis’ websites, applications and online services may contain links to other websites, applications or online services. When you use those links you are contacting another website, application or service. Vestis has no responsibility or liability for, or control over, those other websites, applications or service or their collection, use, disclosure, and retention of your personal information. Please refer to the privacy policies and terms of use that apply to those other websites, applications or online services.

Social Networking and Similar Situations

When you use certain aspects of Vestis’ websites, applications or other services, or post information to other social networking sites (e.g., there may be links to Vestis’ Facebook or Twitter pages or you may be able to “like” a product on your Facebook account or “pin” a product on your Pinterest account), the personal information that you post or share in connection with these third party sites is visible to other persons and can be read, collected, used and disclosed by other persons, including to send unsolicited messages. In such a case, you will be leaving Vestis’ website or application and going to the third party’s website or application. Any information provided to such third party social networking sites and other sites is governed by their own privacy policies, which you may read on the applicable site. You are solely responsible for the personal information that you choose to post or share in those situations. Vestis has no control over, or responsibility or liability for, the use, disclosure, and retention of the personal information that you disclose in those situations, and the use, disclosure, and retention of the disclosed information is not subject to this Privacy Policy. Please be careful when disclosing your personal information in those situations.

The providers of these services may independently collect, use, and disclose your IP address together with information (not including your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites and applications that they service in accordance with their own privacy policies (and not this Privacy Policy). These services may use their own cookies and other data collection technologies.
