Disclosure of Personal Information

Since our goal is to help you discover great content and services, the principal sharing of your information is to enhance your experience on the Platform. This section describes how and why we share information with Affiliates, service providers and partners for certain purposes, like consensual direct marketing and legal reasons.

  1. With our Affiliates: As noted above, we may exchange, link or pool user information among Affiliates, but always in accordance with applicable law, applicable agreements and this Policy.
  2. Direct marketing: Only if you opt-in, and only until you opt-out, we may share Account Data about you with third party sponsors or partners, including for their marketing communications.

We call them “Service Providers.”

We may share information about you, as well as Usage Data and Device Information, with Service Providers as appropriate for them to perform their services for us and our Service Providers are permitted to use your information only for such purposes. In the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed these types of information to the following types of Service Providers:

  • Various hosting services and data processors to provide the infrastructure of the Platform, such as Cloudflare, which ensures that traffic is from real people, not computers. Among other data, they may receive your IP address.
  • Payment providers, namely PayPal and ShopPay, to process payments between you and us, such as for subscriptions or products. These providers receive information about your order in order to tie your payment process to your order. We don’t receive all of the information you may provide to them as part of that process (for instance, we don’t receive full payment-account numbers).
  • Delivery and fulfillment providers, namely Shopify, to fulfill your orders placed on the United Wear Store and other Platforms. These providers receive information about you that is relevant and necessary to fulfill your order, such as delivery information.

4. With your consent or at your request: We may ask for your consent to share your information with third parties. In any such case, we will make it clear why we want to share the information. We also disclose information in response to your requests, such as to associate your account with your Social Network account.

5. For personalized ads: We share information with advertising partners to make the advertising presented to you more relevant to you. In the past twelve months, we have shared these categories of personal information with third parties to personalize advertising:

  • Device Information
  • Commercial Information
  • Internet Activity

6. Technical: Finally, we may use and share non-personal information (meaning information that does not identify you, such as device information, general demographics, general behavioral data and imprecise geolocation in de-identified and/or encrypted form) under any of the above circumstances. We may also share this information with our Affiliates and other third parties (notably advertisers) to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our services and on websites or applications of third parties, and to analyze and report on advertising you see. We may combine this information with additional non-personal information or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form collected from other sources. To learn more, see our Cookie Policy.

7. For legal compliance: Finally, we may share personal information: (i) in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases we reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us; (ii) when we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or others; and in connection with the enforcement of our Terms of Use and other agreements; or (iii) in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain your information only as long as we need it for the purposes described under “How We Use Personal Information,” except when longer retention is required by our compliance policies and efforts toward applicable legal, tax, accounting and regulatory requirements.

How long we need information for those purposes varies by category, and even within categories. These retention determinations always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from its unauthorized use or disclosure, whether we can achieve those purposes without using the personal information.

For example, we delete some Internet Activity as soon as you exit the Platform, whereas we may retain records of your orders for services and products for several years as required by law or contract, such as agreements with our payment processors or under our accounting standards.

Please understand, however, that we reserve the right to retain an archive of any deleted information, to the extent permitted by law. We may also retain de-identified or aggregate data that may be derived from information about you.

Your Rights

This section applies to you only if you reside in a jurisdiction where GDPR applies.

For GDPR purposes, the data controller is United Wear Inc., 376 87e av., Laval, QC H7W 3C1. Parties to which we disclose personal data are data processors to us or co-controllers with us.

See “How We Use Personal Information” section to review the legal basis for our collecting and processing of personal data under GDPR. Depending on your jurisdiction’s enactment of GDPR, you may have these rights:

  • access – request copies of your personal data.
  • rectification – request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete any information you believe is incomplete.
  • erasure – request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • restrict processing – request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

If you reside outside Canada, we transfer information about you for processing in Canada. By providing information about you to enable Platform services, you consent to the processing of such data in Canada. The transfer of this information to Canada is necessary for the performance of our contract for use of the Platform.

As Canada has not been deemed an “adequate” jurisdiction under GDPR for the purposes of international data transfers, we use Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU for transfers of personal data internationally, or another appropriate transfer mechanism.

Canadian Provincial & Territorial Rights

Some Canadian provinces and territories provide residents with additional privacy rights and controls. If you reside in one of those provinces, you may be entitled to exercise certain rights with respect to your personal information, as described below, and subject to exceptions defined by law.

Please note that even if you choose to remove your information (opt-out), you will still see advertisements while you are browsing online. However, the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.
