6. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
We are part of a global group of companies. When providing our Services we process your personal data in the UK, the European Economic Area (“EEA”), US and other countries in which we and our partners operate for purposes described in this notice. This includes sharing your information with Fabletics Inc., our US parent company, and other group companies in our global group, as well as third-party service providers.
When your personal data is transferred from your home country to another country, the laws and rules protecting that information in the country to which it is transferred may be different from those in the country in which you live. We will transfer your information only to those countries to which we are permitted by law to do so, and we will take steps to ensure that your information continues to enjoy appropriate protections.
6.1 Transfer Mechanisms
Whenever we transfer personal data to a third country outside of the UK, we do so on one or more of the following legal bases and transfer mechanisms:
- Necessary to perform our contract with you. You may choose whether or not to use the Services. However, if you want to use the Services, you must agree to the terms and conditions, which set out the contract between us and you. As we use technical infrastructure in the UK, the EEA, US and other countries to deliver the Services to you, in accordance with our contract with you, we need to transfer your personal data within the UK, the EEA, to the US and to other jurisdictions as necessary to provide the Services. We can’t provide you with the Services and perform our contract with you without transferring your information in this way.
Where applicable, we rely on:
- existing decisions by the EU Commission in which the EU Commission has stipulated that certain third countries provide for an essentially adequate level of data protection as under the GDPR (e.g. for transfer from the EEA to the UK).
- Adequacy decision by UK Secretary of State, based on Article 45 of the UK GDPR and Section 17A of the Data Protection Act 2018 - for more information, and to access the full list of countries deemed adequate to date, check here.
In the absence of an adequacy decision, we have implemented appropriate transfer mechanisms to safeguard your personal data when we transfer it outside of the UK:
- Standard Contractual Clause/Model Clauses. The European Commission has adopted Standard Contractual Clauses, also known as Model Clauses, which provide safeguards for personal data that is transferred outside of the EU or EEA. For transfers from the UK to a third country outside the UK and the EU/EEA, we will modify the Standard Contractual Clauses as required by the Information Commissioner’s Office’s guidance. To the extent the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK will adopt a UK version of the Standard Contractual Clauses, we will rely on these to safeguard transfers. You may view the guidance on the Commission’s website, here.
If you would like a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses, please submit a written request to the following address: Fabletics Ltd, Attn: General Counsel, 25 Wilton Rd, London, SW1V 1LW, United Kingdom.
- Binding Corporate Rules. Some of our partners may have implemented binding corporate rules to protect your personal data during international transfers from the UK to third countries within our partner organisations.
EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Fabletics Inc. and certain other companies in our global group participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework ( “EU-US DPF”) and the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“UK Extension to the EU-US DPF”) as part of our commitment to maintain high data protection standards when transferring Personal Information between European Union, United Kingdom and the United States. We are committed to comply with the obligations under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework Principles (“EU-US DPF Principles”) and the UK Extension to the EU-US DPF, as set forth by the US Department of Commerce.
Fabletics, Inc. has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-US DPF Principles with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union and the United Kingdom in reliance on the EU-US DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-US DPF.

This includes, for example, firewalls, encryption, password protection and other access and authentication controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we can't guarantee its absolute security. Your account information is protected by a password. It is important that you protect against unauthorised access to your account and information by choosing your password carefully and by keeping your password and computer secure, such as by signing out after using the Services.
