Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy applies to anyone who visits the Website or App (the “Sites”), and any other platforms we own or control and make available (the “Desmodas Platforms”). We refer to the Sites and the Desmodas Platforms as the “Services”.
Any personal data about our users (the “User” or “you”) provided to or gathered by the Services is controlled by LImitless8 Digital Ltd. (a company incorporated in England and Wales, with company number 13400975 and with a registered office at Briarfield Avenue, London N3 2LG, UK) ("Desmodas", “we”, “our” or “us”). For the purposes of General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), we act as a “Controller” as defined under the GDPR (“Controller”).
The Services encompass numerous links to third-party websites, services, widgets, advertisements, and other offerings. Engaging with these links or activating such connections may enable third parties to gather or disclose information related to you. We lack control over these third-party websites and disclaim responsibility for their privacy practices. By utilizing social media features incorporated into our Sites (such as the "Share" button), you grant permission for social media providers to gather information regarding your use of our Site and associate it with your social media account. The data collection conducted by the social media platform is governed by the privacy policy of the respective social media provider.

b) Usage information, such as the quantity and frequency of visitors to the Sites and Services, is automatically gathered. We exclusively utilize this data in an aggregated form, meaning it is treated as a statistical measure and not in a way that would personally identify you. This aggregated data helps us understand the frequency with which customers utilize different parts of the Sites and Services or other features of the Content. This insight allows us to enhance the appeal of the Sites and Services to a broader audience and improve the overall Content.

This information may be utilized to furnish you with personalized content and location-based services, such as tailored search results. Many mobile devices offer the option to disable location services. For further details on the information made available to us by your device, please refer to the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider.

Whether first-party cookies or third-party cookies from our analytics service providers, they play a crucial role in revealing the popularity of site pages, content, and features, as well as understanding visitor navigation within our Sites. Declining these cookies will result in the inability to ascertain your visits and activity on our Sites, hindering our ability to utilize this information to monitor performance and enhance our Sites and Services.
Advertising Targeting: These cookies can be placed on our Sites by our advertising partners. These cookies enable these companies to create a profile of your interests and display pertinent advertisements on our Sites, as well as on other websites and applications. They rely on uniquely identifying your browser and device when you access our Sites. Opting not to permit these cookies may result in receiving less targeted advertising.
Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are employed by external parties to render services to us, such as analytics/performance monitoring or personalized advertising. This may include third parties using their cookies to present advertisements tailored to your preferences, considering your previous visits to the Sites. Consequently, you may encounter varied products based on your perceived interests and the content you have explored on the Sites, along with other items deemed pertinent to your browsing behavior.

5. The Reason for Collecting Information
We utilize the information we gather for the following purposes:
6. Information Storage
In order to deliver the Services, the information we gather from you might be transmitted to and stored at a location outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed and utilized by personnel working for us or one of our third-party service providers who operate outside the EEA. These individuals may be involved in tasks such as fulfilling your requests and providing support services. We will undertake all reasonably necessary measures to ensure that third parties, to whom we transfer any data, offer adequate protection for that data.
7. Sharing Information with Third Parties
We only disclose your information as outlined in this Notice and mandate that commercial entities, with whom we share your information, commit to maintaining its confidentiality.
We collaborate with various partners, referred to as "Desmodas Partners," to broaden the range of fashion items displayed on the Sites. At times, when you choose a product, you may be redirected to the Desmodas Partner's website, where the partner may request additional personal details for the transaction. The information you provide on the Desmodas Partner's website will be gathered, stored, and processed in accordance with the privacy policy of the respective Desmodas Partner. Please take note that: (i) it is crucial to thoroughly review the privacy policy of the Desmodas Partner before finalizing any transaction; and (ii) the Desmodas Partner bears sole responsibility for the utilization and sharing of your information.
Promotional Campaigns: We might also disclose your data to Desmodas Partners for specific promotions and contests. These will be governed by supplementary rules and conditions, which will be provided to you when you participate in any such competition or promotion. It is advisable to thoroughly review the rules and conditions associated with these competitions and promotions.
Aggregate information: We may also provide Desmodas Partners with aggregated information regarding the collective usage of the Content by our customers. This sharing of statistical data helps Desmodas Partners comprehend the frequency of Content utilization, enabling them to enhance your online experience. We ensure that aggregate information shared with a Desmodas Partner does not identify you personally, unless necessary for transactional purposes on your behalf.
Third Party Advertisers: Advertisers and advertising networks might employ automated technologies, such as cookies, to gather details about your website activity on the Sites and other platforms. This information is utilized to tailor online advertisements to your potential interests. For further insights into cookies and instructions on rejecting targeted or interest-based advertising cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
Google Analytics: We have incorporated the Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting feature and may disclose your information to analytics and search engine providers assisting us in enhancing and optimizing the Services.
Agents: We enlist the services of other companies and individuals to carry out tasks on our behalf, and we share your information with them only to the extent essential for delivering products or services to you. Unless specified otherwise, our agents are not authorized to utilize the shared information beyond what is necessary to aid us in our tasks.
User Profiles and Other Information You might Submit: If the service is accessible on the Sites, user profile details such as your username, name, email address, and other provided information ("User Submissions") might be exhibited to other users. This display aims to facilitate user interaction within the Services, enabling you to follow other users and be followed by them. Email addresses are utilized for adding new User Submissions to user profiles and for communication via User Submissions. Any information you voluntarily disclose online becomes publicly available, subject to viewing, collection, and utilization by others. Images, captions, physical descriptions, personal interests, or other content submitted to the Services may be redistributed across the Internet and various media channels, potentially being viewed by the general public.
Kindly note that when you willingly share information in public areas on the Services or other public forums, that information becomes accessible to the public.
Compliance with legal requests: We might disclose your information to pertinent third parties when we genuinely believe it is essential to (i) adhere to the law, regulation, or a legal request; (ii) enforce or implement our terms of use and other agreements; or (iii) safeguard the rights, property, or safety of Desmodas, our employees, our users, or others. This could involve sharing information with other companies and organizations for the purpose of fraud protection and mitigating credit risks.

8. How we keep your Information Secure
We are committed to upholding the security and privacy of the information you share with us. To safeguard its integrity, we employ various measures, including encryption to thwart unauthorized access, pseudonymization, stringent information access controls, and robust firewalls.
When opting to establish an account with the Sites , your account information is safeguarded by a password, ensuring your privacy and security. It is crucial to take responsibility for preventing unauthorized access by selecting and safeguarding your password appropriately. To enhance security, limit access to your computer and browser by signing out after each session. You are accountable for protecting the password used to access the Services, and we encourage the use of strong passwords, incorporating a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Desmodas disclaims any liability for loss or damage resulting from failure to adhere to these requirements.
The Internet's transmission of information is not entirely secure, and we cannot assure the security of your data when transmitted to the Sites and Services. Factors such as unauthorized access or use, hardware or software failures, and other unforeseen events may compromise the security of user information at any given time. Any data transmission is undertaken at your own risk.
9. Links to Third Party Websites
The Sites and Services include links to external sites. We do not assume responsibility for the privacy policies or practices of these other sites. It is advisable to review the privacy policy provided by each linked site when navigating to them. This Notice exclusively applies to information collected on the Services.
10. Data Retention
Unless legally obligated to retain your information for a longer duration, we retain the data you furnish to us for as long as necessary to offer the Services to you. This duration extends to the period you maintain an account or until you request its deletion, whichever transpires earlier.
Upon receiving a user's request for data deletion, an irreversible process initiates, permanently erasing the pertinent data. Any data not subjected to deletion will be preserved in an anonymized format.

d) Marketing opt-out: Upon registering for an account, you can give consent to receive specific marketing emails or communications. We use your information, such as your email address, to occasionally share information about products and services that may interest you.
If you wish to stop receiving marketing messages or adjust the type and frequency of these messages, you can modify your preferences at any time in the Account Settings of your registered account or by clicking the unsubscribe button in our marketing emails.

It's important to note that opting out of promotional messages may not apply to non-promotional, transactional messages, or information related to your account (e.g., service announcements or administrative messages).
You have the option to choose not to disclose information, even if it is required to access the Services.
