We must have a valid legal reason for processing personal information. The lawful basis depends on the particular purpose and circumstances. Consent is not generally required where processing is necessary to fulfil an order or comply with the law.
| Purpose | Information used | Main lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Processing and fulfilling orders | Identity, contact, order, payment and delivery information | Performance of a contract |

| Delivering orders | Contact, order, delivery and customs information | Contract |
| Completing customs and tax declarations | Identity, order, delivery and customs information | Legal obligation and contract |
| Processing returns, withdrawals and refunds | Identity, contact, order and communications information | Contract and legal obligation |
| Providing customer service | Identity, contact, order and communications information | Contract and legitimate interests |

We consider whether these interests are necessary and balanced against your rights and interests.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal will not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
6. Unified Store and Migration of Regional-Store Data
Box Menswear previously operated separate regional stores, including stores serving the United Kingdom, United States, European Union and other international destinations.
As part of our move to one unified Shopify store using Shopify Markets, we may transfer and combine information from our previous regional stores. This may include:
- Customer profiles.
- Contact details.
- Saved addresses.
- Order histories.
- Returns and refunds.
- Customer-support records.
- Fraud and security records.
- Marketing preferences and consent records.
We use this information to:
- Preserve customers’ order histories.
- Provide customer support.
- Operate one customer-account system.
- Fulfil legal, tax and accounting obligations.
- Prevent fraud.
- Avoid creating unnecessary duplicate customer records.
- Respect existing marketing subscriptions and opt-outs.
Moving information into the unified store does not create a new marketing consent. Existing unsubscribe and opt-out preferences should continue to be honoured.
Where duplicate customer profiles are identified, we may combine or remove duplicate records where it is reasonable and lawful to do so.
7. Shopify and Shopify Markets
Our Website and online store are hosted through Shopify.
Shopify processes customer information to provide services including:
- Store hosting.
- Checkout.
- Customer accounts.
- Payment processing.
- Order administration.
- Fraud prevention.
- Analytics.
- Customer privacy controls.
- Market and currency localisation.
Depending on the service, Shopify may act as our processor, service provider or as a separate controller for certain Shopify-operated services.
Shopify may use a visitor’s location and device information to help determine the appropriate country, market, language, currency, tax treatment and Website experience.
Shopify provides market-specific privacy tools, including regional cookie banners and data-sharing opt-out pages. Merchants remain responsible for ensuring that these settings accurately reflect their store, installed applications and third-party tracking technologies.
8. Email and SMS Marketing
Where you subscribe or where otherwise permitted by applicable law, we may send:
- Product news.
- Promotions.
- Restock alerts.
- Abandoned-basket reminders.
- Personalised offers.
- Invitations to participate in surveys or promotions.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by selecting the unsubscribe link in the relevant email.
You can unsubscribe from SMS marketing by replying STOP, using any available unsubscribe link or contacting us.
You may also contact support@boxmenswear.com to update your preferences.
Stopping marketing will not prevent us from sending necessary service messages, including:
- Order confirmations.
- Dispatch and delivery updates.
- Payment notifications.
- Customer-support responses.
- Product-safety notices.
- Changes affecting an existing order.
We may retain a minimal suppression record after you unsubscribe so that we can continue to respect your request.
Electronic marketing is also subject to the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and equivalent rules in other countries.

11. International Transfers
Some organisations that process information for us operate outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.
For example, Shopify operates globally and may process information through affiliated companies and service providers in countries including Canada, the United States and Singapore. Shopify states that its international transfers are governed by appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards.
When personal information is transferred internationally, we use one or more appropriate safeguards where required, such as:
- A country covered by an applicable adequacy regulation or decision.
- The UK International Data Transfer Agreement.
- The UK Addendum to approved standard contractual clauses.
- European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses.
- Approved binding corporate rules.
- Another legally recognised transfer mechanism.
- A specific legal exception where appropriate.
We may also transfer information to delivery providers or customs authorities in the destination country where necessary to deliver your order.
International-transfer rules apply where personal information is sent or made accessible to a separate organisation outside the relevant territory.
You may contact us for further information about safeguards used for a particular transfer.
12. Fraud Prevention and Automated Processing
We and our payment, ecommerce and fraud-prevention providers may use automated tools to assess whether an order or account presents a potential fraud or security risk.
These tools may consider information such as:
- Payment verification.
- IP address.
- Device information.
- Billing and delivery addresses.
- Order value.
- Previous transactions.
- Transaction patterns.
- Chargeback or dispute history.
A risk assessment may result in:
- Additional verification.
- An order being reviewed.
- A payment being declined by the payment provider.
- An order being delayed or cancelled.
- Restrictions being applied to an account.
We do not intend to make solely automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you unless the processing is permitted by law and appropriate safeguards are provided.
You may contact us to request further information or human review where you believe a significant decision has been made solely through automated processing.
13. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, tax, customs, fraud-prevention and dispute-resolution requirements.
The retention period depends on:
- The type and sensitivity of the information.
- Why it was collected.
- Whether the purpose can be achieved without retaining it.
- Applicable legal requirements.
- Limitation periods for legal claims.
- Fraud and security risks.
Our general approach is:
Order, financial and tax records
Order, payment-status, invoice, refund, tax and relevant customs records are normally retained for at least six years, or for a longer period where an applicable tax or customs scheme requires it. UK VAT records generally must be retained for at least six years.
Customer accounts
Account information is retained while the account remains active and for a reasonable period afterwards.
Closing an account does not necessarily delete information that we must retain for orders, taxes, fraud prevention or legal claims.
Customer-service communications
Customer-service records are retained for as long as necessary to resolve the enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up, complaint or dispute.
Marketing information
Marketing contact information is retained while you remain subscribed.
Where you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information on a suppression list so that we do not contact you again contrary to your preference.
Fraud and security records
Fraud, chargeback and security information may be retained for as long as reasonably required to protect our business and customers, investigate incidents and manage legal claims.
Cookies and analytics
Cookie and analytics retention periods depend on the relevant technology and provider. Further information is available through our cookie settings and Cookie Policy.
When information is no longer needed, we will delete it, anonymise it or securely restrict its use.
14. How We Protect Personal Information
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against:
- Unauthorised access.
- Accidental loss.
- Misuse.
- Alteration.
- Disclosure.
- Destruction.
Measures may include:
- Restricted staff access.
- Access controls and authentication.
- Encryption where appropriate.
- Secure payment processing.
- Staff confidentiality obligations.
- Security monitoring.
- Backup and recovery procedures.
- Procedures for dealing with suspected personal-data breaches.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should protect your customer-account details and contact us if you suspect unauthorised access.

Complaints to a regulator
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK data-protection regulator.
We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first, but you are not required to obtain our permission before contacting the regulator.
If you live in the European Economic Area, you may also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority in the country where you live or work, or where you believe an infringement occurred.
17. Additional United States Privacy Rights

- Opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Where applicable, you can submit an opt-out through the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link available in the Website footer.
You may also contact support@boxmenswear.com.
Shopify provides a data-sharing opt-out page that can be configured for markets where these rights apply.
18. Children
Our Website and Products are not directed at children under 16.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 without appropriate authorisation.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
19. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms and services.
We do not control how those third parties independently collect and use personal information.
You should review the privacy policies of any third-party website or service before providing information to it.
20. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to:
- Our Website.
