Your personal data are processed for the period necessary for the purposes for which they have been collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for the duration of any period necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal rights.
In order to determine the most appropriate retention periods for your personal data, we have specifically considered the amount, nature and sensitivity of your personal data, the reasons for which we collected your personal data, the service you deserve and expect from us together with the applicable legal requirements. For example:

7. How do we disclose and transfer your personal data?
We may disclose your personal data only to the parties indicated below and for the following reasons:
- We disclose your personal data to Saint-Louis employees that need to have access to your personal data and are authorized to process them in order to achieve the aforementioned purposes and who are committed to confidentiality.
- We may disclose your personal data to Hermès group companies, in charge of customer relationship, retail, e-commerce, communication, internal audit and IT management for the purposes set out in our Privacy Policy and to provide you with a consistent level of service across all Hermès group companies. This may include providing you with the products and services that you have requested, improving the services provided and – with your consent – sending you Marketing Communications concerning offers, services, products or events (for such purpose, you may withdraw your consent at any time – see section “What rights do you have on your personal data?” below).
For the specific purpose of combating payment fraud, your personal data are communicated to Hermès Sellier in order to process your order and to fight against online payment methods fraud attempts. As part of our legitimate interest to fight against fraud with payment methods, Hermès Sellier, acting as data controller, can transmit your financial information to an external service provider with a fraud detection tool in order to authenticate a payment. Such service provider is committed to confidentiality.
The Hermès group companies are located worldwide. As a result, personal data may be transferred outside the country where you are located. This includes transfers to countries outside the European Union (“EU”) and to countries that do not have laws that provide adequate protection for personal data according to the European Commission.
To ensure lawful transfers of data, the Hermès group has implemented Binding Corporate Rules (“BCRs”) designed to allow Hermès group companies to transfer personal data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to other Hermès group companies located outside of the EEA in compliance with the European data protection law. These BCRs have been approved by the European data protection authorities. For more information on Hermès group’s BCRs, please click here.
For countries where BCRs are not fully recognized as adequate mechanism, transfers are made on the basis of appropriate contractual clauses approved by the data protection authorities. To obtain a copy of the relevant adequate safeguards, you can send us your request (see below “How to contact us?”).
Please visit http://finance.hermes.com for more details about companies of Hermès group.
- We may also disclose personal data to third-party providers acting on behalf of Saint-Louis and approved by Saint-Louis. All such processing is based on our prior instructions set out in a binding contract that is compliant with the requirements of applicable law. Such disclosures are made for different purposes including:
- - IT development and support;
- - Hosting and carrying out marketing and business studies and marketing campaigns;
- - Verifying your information, authenticating payments and processing orders and payments, to third parties that provide credit reporting, payment or order fulfilment services;
- - Delivery services
- - Data quality management services (standardization, deduplication…)...
These providers are committed to confidentiality and are not permitted to use your personal data for any other purposes. We also require them to use appropriate security measures to protect your personal data.
Part of those service providers are located outside of your country, notably outside the EU. We have taken steps to ensure all personal data is provided with adequate protection and that all transfers of personal data, including outside the EU are done lawfully. Where we transfer personal data outside of the EU to a country not determined by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, the transfers will be under an agreement which covers the EU requirements for the transfer of personal data outside the EU, such as the European Commission approved standard contractual clauses, or under other appropriate safeguards, as the EU/US Privacy Shield for transfers to the United States of America.
To obtain a copy of the relevant adequate safeguards, you can send us your request using the details in Section “How to contact us?” below.
- We may be required by the binding requirements of an applicable law, or for the purposes of responding to legal proceedings or other lawful requests to disclose your personal data to authorities or third parties.
- We may also disclose or otherwise process your personal data, in accordance with applicable law, to defend our legitimate interests (for example, in civil or criminal legal proceedings). For example, we may disclose such personal data as necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against a person or entity who may be violating our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, or who may be causing injury to, or interfering with, other users of our Digital Platforms.
- In the event that Saint-Louis or Hermès group companies, or all or part of its or their assets, are acquired by a third party, your personal data may be included in the transferred assets.
8. How do we protect your personal data?
All your personal data is strictly confidential and will only be accessible, on a need-to-know basis, to duly authorized personnel of Saint-Louis and other entities of the Hermès Group and third providers acting on our behalf with appropriate technical and organizational security safeguards.
Saint-Louis has implemented security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access and use. We follow appropriate security procedures in the storage and disclosure of your personal data so as to prevent unauthorized access by third parties and to prevent your data being accidentally lost. We limit those who access your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those who do access your data are subject to a duty of confidentiality towards Saint-Louis.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
We also require those parties to whom we transfer your personal data to comply with the same. However, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. So, we cannot ensure the security of your personal data transmitted by you to us via the internet. Any such transmission is at your own risk and you acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any unauthorized use, distribution, damage or destruction of Your Information, except to the extent we are required to accept such responsibility under the law. Once we have received your personal data, we will use the security measures abovementioned.

12.California Consumer Act Privacy Notice
This California Consumer Act Privacy Notice (“CCPA Notice”) applies to California “Consumers” as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). For the purpose of this CCPA Notice, “Personal Information” (“PI”) as defined by the CCPA includes personal data as used in the Privacy Policy.
This CCPA Notice is in addition to the provisions of the Saint-Louis Privacy Policy. In case of contradiction, discrepancy or inconsistency between the Privacy Policy and the CCPA Notice, the CCPA Notice shall prevail for Californian Consumers. We may collect, use and disclose your PI as required or permitted by applicable law, or as directed by you, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We collect the following categories of PI from Consumers: identifiers, personal records, account details, consumer characteristics, professional information, and internet usage information. We draw inferences from PI provided to us by consumers, and use PI provided by Consumers to provide requested products and services; advertise and offer new products and services; and improve our products and services.
We share PI provided by Consumers with
(i) our Saint-Louis employees that need to have access to your personal data and are authorized to process them in order to achieve the aforementioned purposes and who are committed to confidentiality
(ii) our departments in charge of customer relationship, retail, e-commerce, communication, internal audit, legal, security, and IT management for the purposes set out in this CCPA Notice and our Privacy Policy and to provide you with a consistent level of service across all Hermès group companies.
(iii) our service providers who assist us in providing, offering and improving products and services and other purposes (IT development and support; hosting and carrying out marketing and business studies and marketing campaigns; verifying your information, authenticating payments and processing orders and payments, to third parties that provide credit reporting, payment or order fulfilment services; delivery services...).
We also use PI provided by Consumers, along with PI from publicly available data bases and from service providers to prevent fraudulent and illegal activity. We provide such PI to service providers who assist us in preventing fraudulent and illegal activity and in subpoenas and other legal process, who use this PI for such purposes.
We do not knowingly “sell” PI that we collect from you, in accordance with the definition of “sell” in the CCPA, and will treat PI we collect from you as subject to a do not sell request. There is not yet a consensus as to whether third party cookies and tracking devices associated with our websites and mobile apps may constitute a “sale” of your PI as defined by the CCPA. You can exercise control over browser-based cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser. We also list cookies and provide access to their privacy information and, if available, opt-out programs in the Cookie Policy. Further, you can learn more about your choices regarding certain kinds of online interest-based advertising here. We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs or statements are complete or accurate.
Some browsers have signals that may be characterized as do not track signals, but we do not understand them to operate in that manner or to indicate a do not sell request by you, so we currently do not recognize these as a do not sell request. We understand that various parties are developing do not sell signals and we may recognize certain such signals if we conclude such a program is appropriate.
Consumers have the right to exercise their privacy rights under the CCPA in their individual capacity or via an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA. We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA as a result of your exercising your rights under the CCPA.
Any request you submit to us is subject to a verification process, including without limitation, verification of residency in the State of California (“Verifiable Consumer Request”). We will not fulfill your CCPA request unless you have provided sufficient information to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected PI. This verification process includes asking a Consumer to provide two (2) unique data points for disclosure of general categories of PI that we collect. With respect to requests for your specific pieces of PI, as required by the CCPA we will apply heightened verification standards by asking a Consumer to provide three (3) unique data points. To make a Verifiable Consumer Request according to your rights to know or to request deletion of your PI set forth below, you may send us an email at contact-GDPR@saint-louis.com or by calling us at +33 (0)3 87 06 40 04. You may also obtain information on how to make, and may submit, a request by asking a store manager at any of our California retail locations.
Some PI we maintain about Consumers is not sufficiently associated with a Consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular Consumer’s PI (e.g., clickstream data tied only to a pseudonymous browser ID). As required by the CCPA, we do not include that PI in our response to Verifiable Consumer Requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response.
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify Consumer PI that we collect, process, store, disclose and otherwise use and to respond to your CCPA rights requests. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests; provided, however, that we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded or overly burdensome. In addition, we have right not to honor a request to the extent that doing so would infringe upon ours or the rights of any other person of party’s rights or conflict with applicable law.
You have the right to send us a request, no more than twice in any twelve-month period, for any of the following for the period that is twelve months prior to the request date:
• The categories of PI we have collected about you.
• The categories of sources from which we collected your PI.
• The business or commercial purposes for our collecting your PI.
• The categories of third parties to whom we have shared your PI.
• The specific pieces of PI we have collected about you.
• A list of the categories of PI disclosed for a business purpose in the prior 12 months, or that no disclosure occurred.
• A list of the categories of PI sold about you in the prior 12 months, or that no sale occurred. If we sold your PI, we will explain:
- - The categories of your PI we have sold.
- - The categories of third parties to which we sold PI, by categories of PI sold for each third party.
You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your PI that we have collected in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date and are maintaining.
Please note that PI is retained by us for various time periods, so we may not be able to fully respond to what might be relevant going back 12 months prior to the request.
Except to the extent we have a basis for retention under CCPA, you may request that we delete your PI that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. Note also that we are not required to delete your PI that we did not collect directly from you.
You may alternatively exercise more limited control marketing communications by exercising the rights set forth in the “Marketing Communications” Section of our Privacy Policy (Section 5).
