Privacy Policy

Etiko is totally committed to protecting the privacy of our site visitors and customers. The Etiko team members are customers themselves of other Internet sites and fully appreciate and respect the importance of privacy on the Internet.

Collection of personal information

“Personal information” is basically information or an opinion that can identify you.

The personal information we may ask for includes:

information that identifies you, such as your name, address;
your delivery address;
your email address;
your telephone number; and
your debit/credit card details.

When we conduct market research and profiling, we may also ask you for your opinions about fashion, websites and customer service.
We also collect information about visitors to this Website using cookies and code embedded in this Website, as described in the “What are cookies?” and “Site Statistics” sections of this policy. Generally, if we do ask you for personal information, we will endeavour to say which information we require and which information is optional.

Use of personal information

We usually collect personal information from you so that we can provide you with the goods you want. We may also use personal information for other reasons, including:

updating you on our latest products, news and special offers (unless you tell us not to – which you can do at any time); and conducting appropriate anti-fraud checks (this is done only to confirm your identity – a credit check is not performed and your credit rating is unaffected).

If you don’t provide some of the personal information we ask for (e.g. your name and address), we may be unable to provide you with the goods you want.

If we disclose your personal information to any of our group companies, they may use it for the same purposes that we may (including so that they can update you on their latest products, news and special offers via e-mail, post & telephone).

Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose your personal information to any of our group companies.

We will provide personal information about our customers to third parties outside our group companies. These third parties usually help us in providing goods and services to you, and include:

couriers (who we arrange to deliver goods to you on our behalf);
organisations who carry out credit, fraud and other security checks; and
outsourced service providers (e.g. market research agencies).

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties outside our group of companies:

where we have your express permission to do so;
where it can reasonably be inferred from the circumstances that you consent to the disclosure to the third parties;
in the event that Etiko sells or buys any business or assets;
if Etiko or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data which we hold about our customers may be one of the transferred assets; or
if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Etiko, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We try to limit the information we provide to third parties to the information they need to help us provide goods and services to you. We also enter into contracts with these third parties that require them to meet the privacy standards we set for ourselves in handling your personal information, and use your personal information only for the purposes we gave it to them.

Communication & Marketing

If you have made a purchase from our store we may occasionally update you on our latest products, news and special offers via e-mail, post & telephone. You will also be given the opportunity to receive such communications from us and selected third parties when you become a member of Etiko.

All Etiko members have the option to opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us and/or selected third parties. If you do not wish to continue to receive marketing from us and/or selected third parties you should opt-out by visiting 'Your Details' in 'Your Account' on the Etiko website. You can access 'Your Account' once you register and login. Or click on the "unsubscribe" link in any email communications which might we send you.

GRATUITY NOT SUBJECT TO SALES TAX

The "tips" of the customers correspond to a gift according to ErbStG §7, because they are added voluntarily by the customer without corresponding consideration. The tip does not give rise to any claim to consideration of any kind. They are therefore not subject to sales tax. The tips are not defined as donations and therefore cannot be declared to reduce the tax burden.
