Privacy Policy
Receiving and Unsubscribing from Burberry Marketing Updates (‘Burberry updates’)
Burberry updates
We will only send you Burberry updates about our products, services and events if you want to receive them (and, if required under applicable laws, you have provided your consent). You can opt out of receiving updates (which would signify withdrawing your consent if you have provided consent), at any time (see "Unsubscribe from Burberry updates" below).
When sending you Burberry updates we will use the preferred communication method you selected, where applicable (e.g. by e-mail, post, phone or messaging services). If you have enabled push notifications on the Application or your mobile device, we will send you Burberry updates on your phone.
United States: Note that if you are registering an account with us (whether on our Site or Application or in-store) from the United States, or making a purchase on our Site from the United States for the first time or as a guest, you will need to uncheck the marketing consent box if you do not wish to receive Burberry updates.
Other locations: in certain cases, where permitted in the country that you are browsing from, or the domain (internet location) of the Site that you are browsing, please note that if you are making a purchase on our Site for the first time or as a guest, you will need to check the marketing consent box if you do not wish to receive Burberry updates.
Unsubscribe from Burberry updates
If you are registered to receive Burberry updates relating to our products, services and events, and you no longer wish to receive these, you can request that we amend your preferences. You can do that either as indicated in the particular communication, e.g.by using the unsubscribe link which is included on all email updates, or by amending your preferences online (see ‘Your rights in relation to your personal information’ below). Burberry will stop sending updates in respect of which you opt out (or withdraw your consent, where applicable) within a reasonable period (as required by applicable law) and in any event within 28 days of receiving your request, in order to allow sufficient time for the change to be administered. You may opt out of receiving push notifications on your phone by changing through the settings on your mobile device or in the ‘Account Settings’ on the Application.
If you opt out of receiving Burberry updates relating to our products, services and events, we may still send you non-marketing communications such as emails about your account or purchases you have made from the Site or Application, and/or emails to request and respond to feedback relating to Burberry. We will only use your contact information where permitted to do so in accordance with applicable laws.

Security and Third Party Links
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss or use. Unfortunately, transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information submitted to us and any transmission is at your own risk.
We do however use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access wherever possible. Personal information may be accessed by persons within our organization, or our third-party service partners, who require such access to carry out the purposes indicated above, or such other purposes as may be permitted or required by the applicable law.
Personal information provided to Burberry via the Site, Application and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL), encryption technology. When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you are about to enter a secure area or display a padlock image. The Site and the Application use this encryption technology to protect your information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address and credit card number. Our customer service centre and stores also operate over a private, secure network. Please note that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.
The Site and/or Application may from time to time contain links to other websites not controlled by us. We do not accept responsibility or liability for the privacy practices, data collected or the content of such other websites. The operators of these linked websites are not under a duty to abide by this Privacy Policy.

In-Application Virtual Activation
When you choose to (and your device enables you to, subject to your device model and settings) virtually ‘try on’ Burberry products , using in-application virtual technology , the application will request access to your device’s camera. Where you permit the application to access your device’s camera, the virtual technology will access your image of your face through your device’s front or rear-facing camera, and, using third party software, predict the location of certain physical features as the basis for overlaying content (for example, an image of a Burberry product). In some circumstances, the technology will detect the co-ordinates of certain physical features (e.g. your face)and measure these by distance. These measurements will result in the formation of a generic model within the application to match the dimensions, shape, and current expression of the detected face and/or other physical features. This model is then used as the basis for overlaying content that follows the shape of the detected physical features. Neither the application nor Burberry will be able to uniquely identify you based on this data and neither Burberry, the Application, nor Burberry’s third party Service Providers shall capture or otherwise collect or record any personal information from this experience, including any images of you, or any co-ordinates produced. The data generated by the virtual technology will be stored locally on your device and once you have finished with the experience and exited the application, the data will be deleted. Where you are offered the option to have this data emailed to you, your email address will be stored temporarily and deleted after the data has been sent to you.
The use of the virtual technology is voluntary and you will have the option to agree to or deny access to your device’s camera in order to use the virtual technology. Unless you choose to activate the virtual technology and permit access to your device’s camera, the application will not have access to your device’s camera.
