We invite you to regularly review this Privacy Policy in order to acknowledge any updates on collection and conditions of processing your personal data.

Before submitting any personal data, please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we process your personal data and the features of said processing.

By accessing or using our website, the Widget, our applications and by interacting with us, you confirm that you have read this Privacy Policy and that you understand how we collect, process, use and disclose your personal data as herein described.

What personal information do we collect and how do we collect it?

We collect information directly from you or from other sources, as below specified.

(i) Personal Information you provide us. We collect personal information by asking you questions about yourself in order to define the best size recommendation for you for a specific product. We upload our Widget on the Brand Website and when you open it to receive size recommendations, we ask you, depending on the product you're browsing, the following 'Widget Information':

• for shoes: gender, year of birth, weight, height, usual shoe size, country/region of origin, width of foot sole (narrow, average, wider);
• for apparel: gender, year of birth, weight, height, bra size, country/region of origin, qualitative description of body for shoulder, chest, waist, hips, leg length (smaller, average, wider).

(ii) Personal Information we receive from Brand.

Brand we partner with provides us with some information relating to the fit of their products. This is information about Brand's products and does not contain personal information relating to you.

In addition, Brand may provide us with information on the products you purchase (and potentially return) on the Brand Website, such as product code; price; size; quantity per size; reason for return, as applicable, transaction code, in pseudonymized form that does not allow us to identify you (the 'Brand Information').

(iii) Personal Information automatically collected. While you visit our website, applications and while you use our Widget and/or visit the Brand Website, we automatically collect information through cookies and other tracking technologies.

For more specific information on the cookies and other tracking technologies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

We receive information from analytics cookies (like Google analytics) which are third party cookies placed on our website and the Brand Website providing us with information on your interaction with the websites and your Internet browsing. For these cookies, you may provide or deny consent as you land on the Brand Website through the cookie banner.

We also use cookies in our Widget, which are first-party cookies and provide us with the information you upload on our Widget and on interaction with the same, on the products browsed on the Brand Website and recommendations you receive. For these cookies, you may provide or deny consent as you land on the Brand Website through the cookie banner.

Tracking script. This is a code script that is placed on the Brand Website and when you create an order, the following information is transmitted to us: order number, whether to purchase products you received a size recommendation and, in case you did, what size was recommended to you.

Why do we collect your personal information, what is the legal basis for processing and for how long we keep your personal data?

Below you can see a chart where we explain the purposes of data processing by Measmerize and, as applicable in your jurisdiction, the relevant legal basis, what personal information we process in relation to the processing purposes below identified and for how long your personal information is kept.

When Measmerize relies on legitimate interest as legal basis for the processing, a balancing test is performed in order to ensure that your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms are not overridden. Further information may be obtained by contacting Measmerize as described below. The legitimate interests of Measmerize could in particular be enhancing size recommendation, improving our services and the accuracy of our recommendations, prevention of fraud, misuse of IT systems, IT and network security, internal investigations, or potential merger and acquisition activities.

You are not required to provide all personal information identified in this Privacy Policy to use our size recommendation services or to interact with us, but we may not provide the services or information you request if you do not provide certain personal data.

In the above chart listing the purposes of processing, when the legal basis of processing is contract performance or compliance with laws and regulations, providing of data is mandatory and if you do not provide them, we will not be able to respond to your request or provide the requested size recommendation services. When the legal basis is legitimate interest, providing of data is functional to the applicable processing purposes and denial may jeopardize the same. For the processing purposes based on consent (i.e., cookies and other tracking technologies), providing of data is optional and not providing data will not have any consequence.

We may also link and/or combine the information we collect about you from the various devices you use.

How long do we keep your personal information?

We will only keep your data for as long as necessary to carry out our services or as long as we are required by law. Please see the section Why do we collect your personal information, what is the legal basis for processing and for how long we keep your personal data above for further information on data retention periods.

Please be aware that Measmerize uses an automated process to provide you with a recommendation. We do not consider this to be an “automated decision” (as defined by GDPR) as you are free to make any final decision regardless of what we recommend.

Who do we share personal information with?

Protecting the privacy and security of your personal data is a priority at Measmerize. Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we do not share with, sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

We may share your personal data with third parties as follows:

• Competent Authorities and as Required by Law. Measmerize may release your personal data when we determine, in our reasonable judgment, that it is necessary to (a) comply with the law, regulation, legal process, or requests of competent authorities; (b) enforce or apply the terms of any of our policies or user agreements; or (c) protect the rights, property or safety of Measmerize, our employees, our customers, users, or others, in line with the Privacy Laws.
• Sales, Mergers, and Acquisitions. If Measmerize becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its business or assets, your personal data may be provided to the entities and advisors involved. We will provide you with an updated privacy notice or we will publish on our website, Widget and applications and updated privacy notice in case the purposes and conditions of processing described in this Privacy Policy change as a result of any such transaction.

We may disclose your personal information to third party service providers acting as our data processors which provide services functional to the processing purposes above identified, for example for IT maintenance services. These third party are bound by contract to process personal data only according to our instructions and the Privacy Laws. The updated list of processors is available contacting us at the contact details indicated below at How can I contact Measmerize.

How is personal information secured?

We take appropriate security measures, including physical, technological, and procedural measures, to help to safeguard your personal data and to prevent unauthorized access and disclosure. In addition, we use industry-standard technology, such as edge-protection devices and encryption in the transmission of certain personal data, designed to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the same, and, as technology develops, we will take additional measures to improve security. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, however, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

How can I exercise my privacy rights?

You can contact us or our DPO at the contact details indicated below at How can I contact Measmerize to exercise at any time your privacy rights.

If you have provided your consent for some processing activities, you can withdraw it at any time with future effect. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal. Pursuant to the Privacy Laws, you have the right to:

• Right of access: You may request access to your personal data. If you request such access, we will provide you with all the information required by the Privacy Laws, including in particular the purposes of the processing, categories of data processed, categories of recipients, data retention periods, and your rights. To the extent permitted by the Privacy Laws, to facilitate the management of your request, you may be asked to specify: (a) which processing activity you wish to exercise your right to access and (b) which data categories you wish to gain access to. If you request more than one copy of the personal data processed, you may be charged a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs. In any case, we must take into account the rights and freedoms of others, so this right is not absolute.
• Right to portability: In certain cases, you may also obtain a copy of your personal data that is commonly used and machine-readable in order to enable you to exercise your right to data portability and to transfer them to another data controller or request us to transfer such data directly to another data controller to the extent this is technically possible.
• Right of rectification: You may also ask us to rectify all personal data pertaining to you that is inaccurate and to complete any incomplete information.
• Right of erasure: Under certain circumstances, you may request that your personal data be erased, for example if such data is no longer required for the purposes set out in section Why do we collect your personal information and what is the legal basis for processing above, if you withdraw your consent, if your personal data has been unlawfully processed, or if you have objected to the processing and we have no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing. We may nevertheless need to retain certain limited data in an archived database, in particular if they have a statutory personal data retention obligation or if the data is necessary to exercise or defend a right in a court of law.
• Right to limit the processing: Under certain circumstances, you may request to limit the processing of your personal data, in particular when you request that your personal data be rectified where, notably, one of the following applies (a) you contest the accuracy of the data, (b) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the deletion of your data, or (c) the data is no longer needed for the purposes listed in section Why do we collect your personal information and what is the legal basis for processing above, but are required by you for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. In this case, your personal data, except for storage, may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of substantial public interest.
• Right to withdraw your consent: Where the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you may at any time withdraw any consent you have previously given to us. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent prior to such withdrawal.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the Privacy Laws. For details about the competent supervisory authority in your jurisdiction, see European Data Protection Board (EDPB) members.
• Right to object: As applicable under the Privacy Laws, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data and we may be required to no longer process your personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
