5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.
6. IS YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?
Our website has been built and is hosted using Webflow, a web design and hosting platform that facilitates the creation and maintenance of online content. Webflow provides tools and infrastructure for website development, design, and hosting.
Webflow's servers are based in the United States. Therefore, if you are accessing our website from outside the US, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. We want to ensure transparency about this aspect of data processing.
For Residents in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland:
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, the data protection laws in these countries may not be as comprehensive as those in your home country. However, we are committed to taking all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.
Webflow, as our service provider, has implemented Standard Contractual Clauses as the legal mechanism for transferring data out of the EU (in this case, to the US, since Webflow is a US-based company). These clauses require all recipients, including Webflow and its third-party service providers, to protect all personal information originating from the EEA or UK in accordance with European data protection laws and regulations.
Our Data Processing Agreements with Webflow, which include Standard Contractual Clauses, are available here: https://webflow.com/legal/dpa. We have also implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners, and additional details can be provided upon request.
Webflow complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Webflow has certified that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles).
In case of any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the EU-U.S. DPF Principles and/or the Swiss-U.S. DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program and view Webflow's certification, please visit here: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/
By using our website, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your information as described in this section. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at hello@garmentcircle.com
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organisational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at hello@garmentcircle.com

12. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ('DNT') feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing DNT signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
