Privacy Policy

Data Protection and Privacy Notice

This Notice applies to anyone who visits the Lybstore websites or Lybstore’s mobile applications (the “Sites”), and any other platforms Lybstore owns or controls and makes available (the “Lybstore Platforms”). We refer to the Sites and the Lybstore Platforms as the “Services”.

When you use the Services, you access linked pages or blogs, features and content (including any information, text, graphics, photos, lists of items compiled by you, comments, reviews, links, or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on, or linked to the Services) (collectively the “Content”).


1. What Does This Notice Cover?

This Notice covers Lybstore’s treatment of personal data that Lybstore gathers when you access the Services and/or access the Content. We explain what information we gather, why we gather it and the choices you have regarding your personal data.

2. What Information Does Lybstore Collect, and How?

As customers, you do not have any legal obligation to provide any information to Lybstore. However, we require certain information from you in order to operate properly, including completing a transaction on your behalf. Login credentials (email and username) enable us to personalize and improve our services. You hereby agree and acknowledge that any information you do provide to us is provided at your own free will, for the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Notice and that we may keep such information in a database(s) which will be registered and kept in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

a) Information You Provide to Us

We receive and store any information you enter on the Services or provide to us in any other way. The types of information provided by you may include your full name, email address, username, password, home and billing address, shipping address, order details of transactions carried out on the Sites, and payment information (payment information is held by our payment processors rather than us).

b) Information Collected Automatically
  1. We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with the Sites or use another feature of the Services. In other words, when you are using the Services we are aware of it and may gather, collect and record the information relating to such usage, either independently or through the help of third-party services as detailed below. Lybstore automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, certain cookie information (please see our Cookie Policy for further information) and the page you requested.
  2. We automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Services, similar to user music preference data or to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. Lybstore only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the Services or another feature of the Content so that we can make the Services appealing to as many customers as possible, and improve the Content.

iii. We also collect information about the devices you use to access our Services. This includes, for example, the type of computer or device you use, the hardware model, operating system and software.

c) E-mail Communications

We often receive a confirmation when you open an email from Lybstore if your computer supports this type of program. Lybstore uses this confirmation to help us decide how to make emails more interesting and helpful.

d) Location Information

When you download or use apps created by Lybstore or its affiliates or subsidiaries and, where applicable, have requested or consented to location services, we may receive information about your location. We may use this information to provide you with personalised content and location-based services, such as search results. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services. To learn more about what information your device makes available to us, please also check the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider.

e) Information from third-party social media services

We receive the usernames and passwords for your accounts and profiles on third-party sites with which the Sites interoperate. For example, by logging into the Sites via Facebook, you are giving us permission to obtain certain information from your Facebook account, such as your name and email address.

3. What About Cookies?

Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by Lybstore and our partners, affiliates, analytics or service providers. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the Sites, tracking users’ movements around the Sites and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

Please see our Cookie Policy for information as to how we use cookies in relation to the Services.

4. Why Do We Collect Information?

We use the information we collect in order to:

  • Operate and improve the Services and to display Content
  • Allow you to take full advantage of the Services, including using “Wish Lists”
  • Allow you to order products on the Sites (where applicable)
  • Process or facilitate payments through third-party payment processors (where applicable)
  • Recommend relevant products, and make it easier for you to track products you’re interested in
  • Communicate with you about your orders and provide customer service, technical assistance and collect feedback
  • Communicate with you about products, sale reminders, services and promotional offers
  • Administer your account if you have one, and update our records
  • Enable third-party service providers and contractors to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf
  • Conduct research, troubleshoot problems and detect and protect against error, abuse of the Services, fraud or other criminal activity
  • Control risk, comply with laws and regulations and comply with other legal process and law enforcement requirements
  • Produce aggregated statistical reports (provided that the reports do not identify customers)

5. Where Will We Store Your Information?

To provide the Services, the information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed and used by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or by one of our third-party service providers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your request, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that third parties to whom we transfer any data provide sufficient protection of that data.

6. Sharing Information With Third Parties

We share your information only as described in this Notice and require commercial entities with which we share your information to agree to keep it confidential.

a) Lybstore Partners

We work with a variety of partners (“Lybstore Partners”) in order to offer you the widest possible choice of fashion items on the Sites. There are two ways to buy products through the Services:

  • Buying on a Lybstore Partner website: Sometimes when you select a product, you will be taken directly to the Lybstore Partner website and asked by the Lybstore Partner to provide further personal details related to the transaction. The information you enter on the Lybstore Partner website will be collected, stored and processed in accordance with the privacy policy of the Lybstore Partner.
  • Buying on the Sites via Lybstore’s integrated checkout (“Integrated Checkout”): For certain products you wish to buy, we operate an Integrated Checkout service, allowing you to checkout these products on the Sites. In order to process these transactions, we will need to share your transaction information (such as name and shipping details) with the relevant Lybstore Partner using our secure systems. The information you enter on the Integrated Checkout will be collected, stored and processed in accordance with this Notice and in accordance with the privacy policies of the Lybstore Partners from whom you wish to purchase the products.

Please note that: (i) you should carefully review the Lybstore Partner privacy policy before completing any transaction involving a Lybstore Partner; and (ii) the Lybstore Partner is solely responsible for its use and sharing of your information.

Promotions: We may also share your data with Lybstore Partners in connection with certain promotions and competitions. These will be subject to additional rules and conditions which will be made available to you at the time of entering any such competition or promotion. You should carefully review the rules and conditions relating to such competitions and promotions.

Aggregate Information: We may also share aggregate information with the Lybstore Partners about how our customers, collectively, use the Content. We share this type of statistical data so that the Lybstore Partners also understand how often people use the Content, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Lybstore never discloses aggregate information to a Lybstore Partner in a manner that would identify you personally, unless we need to in order to complete a transaction on your behalf.

b) Payment processors

For purchases made on the Sites via the Integrated Checkout, your payment information (e.g. credit or debit card details) will be processed by third-party payment process providers such as Klarna or Stripe.

Please note: (i) you should carefully review the third-party payment processor privacy policy before completing any transaction via the Integrated Checkout service; and (ii) the third-party payment processor is solely responsible for its use and sharing of your information.

c) Advertisers

Advertisers and advertising networks may use automated technologies such as cookies to collect information about your website activity on the Sites and other sites. This is used to target advertising to you online that may be of interest to you. For more information on cookies and how to reject targeted advertising or interest-based advertising cookies, please read our Cookie Policy.

d) Analytics

We have implemented the Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting feature and may share your information to analytics and search engine providers that help us to improve and optimise the Services.Cookie Policy

e) Agents

We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them only to the extent necessary to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, Lybstore’s agents do not have any right to use the information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.

f) User Profiles and Other Information You Post

If the service is available on the Sites, User profile information including your username, name, email address, and other information you enter (“User Submissions”) may be displayed to other Lybstore users to facilitate user interaction within the Services and allow you to follow other users, and them to follow you. Email addresses are used to add new User Submissions to user profiles and to communicate through User Submissions. Any information that you voluntarily disclose online (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, through reviews in product pages, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be viewed, collected and used by others. Any images, captions, physical descriptions, personal interests or other content that you submit to the Services may be redistributed through the Internet and other media channels and may be viewed by the general public.

Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily post information to public areas on the Services or any other public forums, such information can be accessed by the public.

g) To comply with legal requests

We may provide your information to relevant third parties when we believe in good faith that it is necessary in order to (i) comply with the law, regulation or a legal request; (ii) enforce or apply our conditions of use in other agreements; or (iii) protect the rights, property, or safety of Lybstore, our employees, our users, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

h) Third parties where a corporate transaction is contemplated

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. In addition, in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, asset sale or in the unlikely event that Lybstore goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, customer information may be one of the assets that are transferred to or acquired by a third party. If such transfers occur, the third-party transferee may continue to use your information as set out in this Notice.

i) Affiliates

We may share some or all of your information with any of our parent companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us.

7. How is Your Information Kept Secure?

We take care to maintain appropriate safeguards and security features to protect the integrity and privacy of the information you provide us with and to try to prevent unauthorised access to it. We encrypt your information to protect it from unauthorised use, and we use pseudonymisation, information access controls, and firewalls.

All information you provide to us is hosted and stored on Amazon Web Services cloud-based services in Ireland which is also in compliant with ISO27001 standard. For further information on the measures taken by Amazon to protect the security of their servers and your information, please see http://aws.amazon.com/security/. If you are not satisfied with the levels of security offered by our cloud provider, you should restrict the nature and amount of information which you include in your log data or not use the Services. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

If you choose to create an account with Lybstore (a “Lybstore Account”), the information in your Lybstore Account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to ensure that there is no unauthorised access to your account and information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password. Lybstore encourages you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. Lybstore cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Services. Unauthorised entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. Any transmission of data is at your own risk.

8. What About Links To Third-Party Websites?

The Services contain links to other sites such as Lybstore Partners. Lybstore is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When linking to another site you should read the privacy policy stated on that site. This Notice only governs information collected on the Services.

9. Data Retention

Subject to any legal obligations to keep your information longer, we store the data you provide to us for as long as is necessary to provide the Services to you (and if you have a Lybstore Account, for as long as you have a Lybstore Account), or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first.

After a request from a User to delete any data, a process will begin that permanently deletes the relevant data. Once begun, this process cannot be reversed and data will be permanently deleted. Any data which is not deleted shall be kept in an anonymized manner.

Lybstore collects and retains usage data, other metadata and statistical information about the use of the Services in an aggregated and anonymised format.
