For pixels within emails

To ensure that you receive messages that you’ll love to receive, are relevant to you and personalised to your interests and shopping experiences, we add a pixel to our emails which helps us understand behaviours and personalise our campaigns. The pixel is a small piece of code - literally, a 1x1 pixel - which gives us insights into what you do with our emails, such as if it is delivered to your inbox, if you open it, mark it as spam or unsubscribe; if you click through to our website or offer. Additionally, it tells us the type of device you use to open the email, where you are in the case of open or click (by IP address and ‘best estimate’ geo location based on that IP). By having these insights, it helps us deliver, what we hope, to be meaningful, engaging and exactly the type of emails you hope to receive from us and when you want to receive them.

Cookies for email marketing

You will see that we use an Ometria cookie, which helps us understand your activity on our website and which of our products you are most interested in. Amongst others, the cookie sends us information about where you are when viewing our site, how long you visited our site, including which pages you land on and leave, the products and categories you viewed on each visit and the type of device and browser used. The cookie is persistent and has a one year time limit, renewed each time you interact with us. So, if you first visit us on 01/02 the cookie will persist until 31/01 in the following year. However, if you subsequently visit us on 01/06, the cookie will then persist until 31/05 in the following year

Cookies for profiling

The information from email pixels, cookies and your purchase history are brought together to give us a unified customer view. When we look at all of our customers we can better understand what they would like to receive from us: for instance birthday well wishes, emails at the beginning of the day rather than in the evening, sales offers, along with insights that help us plan stock control, designs or brands we may hold. Our aim is to ensure that we carry goods that are relevant to our customers and you love to hear from us when we send you messages. By having a unified customer view we endeavour to offer you a personalised shopping experience. We do this by using data brought together by Ometria’s customer data platform. For instance:

● if we know a group of our customers want to hear about our latest products we store that preference and make sure they receive an email when we launch a new season’s goods; or

● if we have special offers for loyal customers (e.g. VIPs) we will send those offers only to that group of customers.

Our aim is always for you to have a fabulous experience with us and we work hard to make sure that our analysis and use of your data are in harmony with your expectations. We regularly review the information we hold to ensure that it is relevant and accurate.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

We may disclose Personal Information that we collect or you provide as described in this Policy:

  • To our subsidiaries and affiliates.
  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of [ comfort zone ]’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which Personal Information held by Davines North America, Inc. about this Website users is among the assets transferred.
  • To fulfill the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you give us an email address to use the "email a friend" feature of this Website, we will transmit the contents of that email and your email address to the recipients.
  • For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.
  • With your consent.

We may also disclose your Personal Information:

  • To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
  • To enforce or apply our terms of use or terms of sale and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes.
