THE TORY BURCH FOUNDATION PRIVACY AND USAGE POLICY

Update September 2021

INTRODUCTION

TORY BURCH FOUNDATION, INC. (the “Tory Burch Foundation”) values the privacy of users of our websites, applications, and other online services (collectively, the “Website”). This Privacy and Usage Policy applies to information that we collect about you through the Website and does not cover any information collected offline by Tory Burch Foundation, including information collected at our events. To better protect your privacy, this policy describes the personal information we collect about you, why we collect it, how we use it, and when we share it with third parties. Our policy also describes the choices you can make about how we collect and use certain information. If our information practices change, we will post an updated policy on our Website. You can tell if the policy has changed by checking the revision date that appears on this policy. We shall not apply changes in our policy retroactively to information collected from you under a prior policy if, in the reasonable exercise of our discretion, we determine that the changes substantively affect your rights, unless we have given you notice of the changes of the policy and an opportunity to opt out. We will provide this notice to you by email if we have a current email address for you and otherwise by posting notice of the change prominently on the home page of our Website.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

We sometimes ask you to provide certain kinds of personal information while you are on our Website, including information that we collect from user forums, donation forms, online surveys, merchandise transactions, applications, contact inquiry forms, or service access registration forms.

We also may use your Personal Information for any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect the information, or otherwise with your consent.

Information we collect by automated means

The Tory Burch Foundation may also receive and store certain type of non-personal information (collectively, “Non-Personal Information”). This information is for system administration and other internal business purposes and provides us statistical data about how you browse our Website. We use this information to deliver to you a better and more customized service.

The Non-Personal Information we collect includes:

We collect Non-Personal Information by using cookies and similar technology. Cookies will allow us to provide the most relevant content as you visit our Website. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of the Website or avail of some of our services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our Website. Additionally, we do not place tracking cookies on a browser that issues a “do-not-track” signal.

We also may use “pixel tags” (sometimes called “Internet tags”, “web beacons” or “clear GIFS”), which are tiny graphic images, on our Website. Pixel tags help us analyze our customers’ online behavior and measure the effectiveness of our Website and our advertising. We work with service providers that help us track, collect, and analyze this information.

Pixel tags on our Website may be used to collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the features you use, the links you click, and other actions you take in connection with the site. This information may include your device’s IP address, your browser type, your operating system, date and time information, and other technical information about your device. We may also track certain information about the identity of the website you visited immediately before coming to our site. We do not otherwise track any information about your use of other websites.

Other automated tracking

Pixel tags and cookies in our emails may be used to track your interactions with those messages, such as when you receive, open, or click a link in an email message from us.

We also may work with business partners that use tracking technologies to deliver communications on our behalf across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your visits to our Website and your interaction with our advertising and other communications.

We may combine the information we collect through cookies and pixel tags with other information we have collected from you. This information may be used to improve our Website, to personalize your online experience, to help us deliver information to you, to determine the effectiveness of our communications, and for other internal business purposes.

Others with whom we may share your information

We are not in the business of selling your information. We do not share, sell, lease or rent information about you to unaffiliated third parties. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your information with certain unaffiliated third parties, as set forth below:

Linking to other sites

While visiting our Website, you may link to sites operated by our partners, contributors or other third parties to whom we provide links on our Website. This does not mean that we endorse these sites. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website you may access through the Website. They are independent from us, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information or activities.

In addition, our privacy practices may differ from those of these other sites. If you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that site, not the Tory Burch Foundation Privacy and Usage Policy. Please make sure you understand the other site’s privacy policy before providing personal information.

Email communications

We publish an e-newsletter that is sent periodically to individuals on a subscribe listserv. You may subscribe or unsubscribe to our listserv at any time. Occasionally, we may send announcements about Tory Burch Foundation events, campaigns and products to the mail listserv.

Choice/Opt-out

If you have subscribed to receive our e-newsletter and later change your mind, you may contact us at info@toryburchfoundation.org to be removed from our distribution lists. To be removed from our email lists, please click the unsubscribe button found at the bottom of any of the emails that we send you. Please allow us at least ten (10) business days from when the request is received to complete the removal, as some of our emails may already have been in process before you submitted your request.

Security

The Tory Burch Foundation uses commercially reasonable measures to keep your Personal Information private and safe. We take appropriate physical, electronic and administrative steps to maintain the security and accuracy of the Personal Information that we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. Please note that email is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting Personal Information.

We use what we consider to be industry-standard security technology in transferring information to process your donations and/or orders. All credit card transactions should take place in a protected area of our site, which is designed to reduce the risk of any loss, misuse or alteration of the information collected. When you have finished submitting your donation and/or orders and begin the checkout process, you should move into the protected area of our site. Once you’ve entered, the page address (URL) should change from http to https. Also, a key or a closed lock should appear in the lower right hand corner of your screen to notify you of this change. You should remain in this secure zone for the entire checkout process. Please check that you are still in this protected area when you type in your credit card details.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the transmission of data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we use commercially reasonable means to ensure the security of information you transmit to us, we cannot guarantee that such information will not be intercepted by third parties. We may, however, prosecute any unauthorized or fraudulent transactions to the fullest extent permitted by law.

“Spoofing” and“phishing”

“Spoofing” or “Phishing” are common Internet scams. These may occur when you receive an email from what appears to be a legitimate source requesting personal information from you. Please be aware that the Tory Burch Foundation will NEVER send you an email requesting you to provide email credit card or bank information via email. If you ever receive an email that appears to be from us requesting such information from you, DO NOT respond to it, and DO NOT click on any links appearing in the email. Instead, please forward the email to us at info@toryburchfoundation.org, as we will endeavor to investigate all instances of possible Internet fraud.

Children’s privacy

Our Website is not meant for children. We do not intentionally collect any Personal Information from children under the age of thirteen, and will dispose of any such information if we become aware that it has been provided to us. Our online contests or sweepstakes are generally restricted to entrants who are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in the jurisdiction where they are located, whichever is greater.

California privacy rights

Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask us for a notice describing what categories of personal customer information we share with third parties or corporate affiliates for those third parties or corporate affiliates’ direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to the following address: Tory Burch Foundation, 11 West 19th Street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10011. Please allow 30 days for a response.
