information that you provide us with.
The following information is provided by us to enable our online visitors to be fully informed of our
privacy processes. By visiting https://atelier.technology or https://loupe.work or https://loupe.com (the “Website”) and using the platform and
the services available through the Website, you are accepting and consenting to the practices
described in this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions.
You acknowledge that, as an employee or contractor accessing the Website on behalf of a
business that has subscribed to services that we provide through the Website, we will be a data
controller in respect of the personal data you provide to us in order to access, or in the process of
accessing, those services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites maintained by other companies or organisations to
which we link and we are not responsible for any personal information you submit to third parties
via our website.
Please ensure that you read the Privacy Policy of such other companies or
organisations before submitting your details.
As an employee or contractor accessing the Website on behalf of a business that has subscribed
to services that we provide through the Website, during the course of your access and use of the
Website you may pass your personal data to other users of the Website and the services available
through it. Those other users may be located outside of the European Economic Area and
therefore such personal data may be processed outside of the European Economic Area by such
users.
Whilst we have asked other users of the Website to comply with relevant data protection
laws in their use of the Website and their processing of any personal data during their use of the
Website, we are not responsible for such compliance. Please ensure that you read the privacy
policy of any such other user of the Website before sharing your personal data.
1. What Personal Information do we collect from you and how?
We collect personal information in several ways when you place an order, use our personalisation
services including photographic images, or register for a service offered by us. By registering or by
contributing personal data such as your email address, you acknowledge that we will use your
personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may also have been provided with your
personal information by your employer, in registering you for access to the services we make
available through the Website. Your employer will have shared that information with us on the
basis of internal privacy statements, over which we have no control; once your employer has
provided your personal information to us, we will use your personal information in accordance with
this Privacy Policy.
Sometimes we may ask for your telephone number. This number is used solely for the purpose of
enabling two factor authentication, which is an improved security measure in addition to a user
account password. We will use this number to send you a unique code to verify that the attempted
login to your account is actually you. This is only required should your administrator activate the
additional security measure for the company where you are employed.
If you do not provide us with your personal data when we ask for it, we may not be able to give you
access to sections of the Website or the services available through it.
We use the personal data you give us to manage our relationship with you, and to administer and
protect our business, the Website and the services available through it,
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your
personal data in the following circumstances:
a) Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with
you or the business on whose behalf you are accessing the Website.
b) Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your
interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
c) Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data, although
we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via
email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by
contacting us.

personal information will be made available for review and change in the "My Account" section.
Only you or, upon your request, our support department, may access your personal data from the

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we
collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or
reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a
complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship
with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature

of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can
achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting
or other requirements.

associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this
information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection
is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide
an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For
further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data
in non-EU countries; or
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the
European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of
personal data to third countries.
6. Safeguarding your personally identifiable information
We will take reasonable care to maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity
and privacy of the information you have provided us with.
When you enter your account, we use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption which encrypts your information before it is sent to us to
protect it from unauthorised use. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that third
party business partners to whom we transfer any data will provide sufficient protection of that
personal information.
