Notice
Tapestry provides information in this Policy about its Consumer Personal Data practices, including the types of Personal Data Tapestry collects, the types of third parties to which Tapestry discloses the Personal Data and the purposes for doing so, the rights and choices Consumers have for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Data and how to contact Tapestry about its practices concerning Personal Data.
Relevant information also may be found in notices pertaining to specific data processing activities.
Choice
Tapestry generally offers Consumers the opportunity to choose whether their Personal Data may be (i) disclosed to third-party Controllers or (ii) used for a purpose that is materially different from the purposes for which the information was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant Consumer. To the extent required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles, Tapestry obtains opt-in consent for certain uses and disclosures of Sensitive Data. Consumers may contact Tapestry as indicated below regarding the company's use or disclosure of their Personal Data. Unless Tapestry offers Consumers an appropriate choice, the company uses Personal Data only for purposes that are materially the same as those indicated in this Policy.
Sharing of Consumer Personal Data
This Policy describes Tapestry's sharing of Consumer Personal Data.
Tapestry may share Consumer Personal Data with third-party Processors the company retains to perform services on its behalf, such as delivery and logistical service providers, customer care, marketing, advertising and communications agencies, online payment and fraud prevention service providers, external auditors and advisers, cookie and data analytics, online advertising and storage and website hosting providers. These third-party Processors may use Consumer Personal Data only on Tapestry's behalf and pursuant to Tapestry's instructions for the purpose of providing services to Tapestry such as those described above. Tapestry may disclose Consumer Personal Data without offering an opportunity to opt out, and may be required to disclose the Personal Data, (i) to third-party Processors the company has retained to perform services on its behalf and pursuant to its instructions, (ii) if it is required to do so by law or legal process, or (iii) in response to lawful requests from public authorities, including to meet national security, public interest or law enforcement requirements. Tapestry also reserves the right to transfer Personal Data in the event of an audit or if the company sells or transfers all or a portion of its business or assets (including in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation).
Accountability for Onward Transfer of Personal Data
This Policy describes Tapestry's sharing of Consumer Personal Data.
Except as permitted or required by applicable law, Tapestry provides Consumers with an opportunity to opt out of sharing their Personal Data with third-party Controllers. Tapestry requires third-party Controllers to whom it discloses Consumer Personal Data to contractually agree to (i) only process the Personal Data for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent provided by the relevant Consumer, (ii) provide the same level of protection for Personal Data as is required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles, and (iii) notify Tapestry and cease processing Personal Data (or take other reasonable and appropriate remedial steps) if the third-party Controller determines that it cannot meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection for Personal Data as is required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles.
With respect to disclosures of Consumer Personal Data to third-party Processors, Tapestry (i) enters into a contract with each relevant Processor, (ii) transfers Personal Data to each such Processor only for limited and specified purposes, (iii) ascertains that the Processor is obligated to provide the Personal Data with at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles, (iv) takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the Processor effectively processes the Personal Data in a manner consistent with Tapestry's obligations under the Data Privacy Framework Principles, (v) requires the Processor to notify Tapestry if the Processor determines that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the Data Privacy Framework Principles, (vi) upon notice, including under (v) above, takes reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing of the Personal Data by the Processor, and (vii) provides a summary or representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of the Processor contract to the Department of Commerce, upon request. Tapestry remains liable under the Data Privacy Framework Principles if the company's third-party Processor onward transfer recipients process relevant Personal Data in a manner inconsistent with the Data Privacy Framework Principles, unless Tapestry proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Security
Tapestry takes reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Consumer Personal Data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Data.
Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation
Tapestry limits the Consumer Personal Data it processes to that which is relevant for the purposes of the particular processing. Tapestry does not process Consumer Personal Data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which the information was collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant Consumer. In addition, to the extent necessary for these purposes, Tapestry takes reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data the company processes is (i) reliable for its intended use, and (ii) accurate, complete and current. In this regard, Tapestry relies on its Consumers to update and correct the relevant Personal Data to the extent necessary for the purposes for which the information was collected or subsequently authorized. Consumers may contact Tapestry as indicated below to request that Tapestry update or correct relevant Personal Data.
Subject to applicable law, Tapestry retains Consumer Personal Data in a form that identifies or renders identifiable the relevant Consumer only for as long as it serves a purpose that is compatible with the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected or subsequently authorized by the Consumer.
Access
Consumers generally have the right to access their Personal Data. Accordingly, where appropriate, Tapestry provides Consumers with reasonable access to the Personal Data Tapestry maintains about them. Tapestry also provides a reasonable opportunity for those Consumers to correct, amend or delete the information where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the Data Privacy Framework Principles, as appropriate. Tapestry may limit or deny access to Personal Data where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Consumer's privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the Consumer would be violated. Consumers may request access to their Personal Data by contacting Tapestry as indicated below.
Recourse, Enforcement and Liability
Tapestry has mechanisms in place designed to help assure compliance with the Data Privacy Framework Principles. Tapestry conducts an annual self-assessment of its Consumer Personal Data practices to verify that the attestations and assertions Tapestry makes about its Data Privacy Framework privacy practices are true and that Tapestry's privacy practices have been implemented as represented and in accordance with the Data Privacy Framework Principles. In compliance with the Data Privacy Framework, Tapestry commits to resolve Data Privacy Framework Principles-related complaints about Tapestry's collection and use of Consumer Personal Data. Consumers with inquiries or complaints regarding Tapestry's handling of Personal Data received in reliance on Data Privacy Framework Principles should first contact Tapestry as specified below. Tapestry will take steps to remedy issues arising out of its alleged failure to comply with the Data Privacy Framework Principles. If a Consumer's complaint cannot be resolved through Tapestry's internal processes, Tapestry will cooperate with JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Data Privacy Framework Program, which is described on the JAMS website at https://www.jamsadr.com/DPF-Dispute-Resolution. JAMS mediation may be commenced as provided for in the JAMS rules. The services of JAMS are provided at no cost to the Consumer. Following the dispute resolution process, the mediator or the Consumer may refer the matter to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which has investigatory and enforcement powers over Tapestry. Under certain circumstances, Consumers also may be able to invoke binding arbitration to address complaints about Tapestry's compliance with the Data Privacy Framework Principles.
