    3. Cookies, Interest-Based Advertising, Ad Choices
    3.1 What are cookies?
    A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
    First party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them.
    In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
    Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser.
    Session cookies are deleted when you quit your browser.
    Every time you visit our websites, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies. The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don’t have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.
    Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
    3.2 How can you control SHEIN’s use of cookies?
    When you land on our website, you will be presented with a cookie management tool, which asks for your consent to deploy several types of cookies. You can use this tool to give or withdraw your consent to the use of these cookies. If you do not make a choice using the tool, the website will deploy only strictly necessary cookies (see below).
    If you wish to change the preference you made via the cookie management tool, you should click on “manage cookies” at the bottom of the web page. This will recall the cookie management tool for you to make new choices.
    3.3 How do we use cookies?
    Currently, there are five types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site:
    Strictly Necessary Cookies, Performance Cookies, Functional Cookies, Targeting Cookies and Social Media Cookies
    • A. Strictly Necessary Cookies .
    • These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies, as are cookies which protect the site against malicious attacks.
    • Because these cookies are necessary to the functioning of the website, the cookie management tool does not allow you to decline them. However, you can use your browser settings to disable them. These cookies are critical to the efficient working of the site. If you choose to disable these cookies from this site, the functionality of the site may be greatly reduced.
    • B. Performance Cookies
    • These cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
    • Statistical information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.
    • We track, for example:
      • the numbers of visitors to individual pages;
      • when pages were visited;
      • how long users stayed on the page;
      • the IP address of the user of the website;
      • the page they came from;
      • technical data about the device being used to browse the site (such as browser and operating system version, and display size) — we use this data to ensure that the technology our site uses is appropriate for the majority of our users, and how best to display the site for users who have less capable browsers.
    • Because these cookies are not strictly necessary to the functioning of the website, the cookie management tool allows you to decline them at any time. However doing so may impede our ability to offer customers the best experience.
    • C. Functional cookies .
    • These cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, whether you have accepted cookies, what regional store you should be directed to, or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.
    • Because these cookies are not strictly necessary to the functioning of the website, the cookie management tool allows you to decline them at any time. However doing so may impede your enjoyment of the website.
    • D. Targeting cookies .
    • These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
    • Because these cookies are not strictly necessary to the functioning of the website, the cookie management tool allows you to decline them at any time. However doing so may result in you seeing less relevant online advertising.
    • E. Social Media Cookies .
    • These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.
    • Because these cookies are not strictly necessary to the functioning of the website, the cookie management tool allows you to decline them at any time. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.

    3.7 Behavioural Remarketing
    We also use remarketing services to advertise on third-party websites to you after you visited our Services. For this purpose, visitors are grouped by certain actions on our Services, e.g., by the duration of a visit.

    Facebook Ads. Using Facebook Business Tools , we may show you interest-based ads when you use Facebook. To change your preferences or opt out of personalization for ads served by Facebook, you can visit Facebook Ads Preferences in addition to the Your Choices section below. We may also show ads to audiences who share similar characteristics to yours. To this end, a list of email addresses is irreversibly hashed encrypted and uploaded or transmitted from our site, and Facebook compares the hashed data with its users, generating a lookalike audience and deleting the uploaded list. We don't have access to the identity of anyone in the "lookalike" audience, unless they choose to click on one of our ads. .
    3.8 Other Tracking Technologies
    We may also use Tracking Technologies to collect "clickstream" data, such as the domain name of the service providing you with Internet access, your device type, IP address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on our Site, webpages viewed, content searched for, access times and other relevant statistics, and assign unique identifiers to the device or other credentials you use to access the Site for the same purposes.
    Pages of our Site may also use Java scripts, which are code snippets embedded in various parts of websites and applications that facilitate a variety of operations including accelerating the refresh speed of certain functionality or monitoring usage of various online components; entity tags, which are HTTP code mechanisms that allow portions of websites to be stored or “cached” within your browser to accelerate website performance; and HTML5 local storage, which allows data from websites to be stored or “cached” within your browser to store and more quickly retrieve data in HTML5 pages when the website is revisited.
    3.9 Location Information
    You may be able to adjust the settings of your device so that information about your physical location is not sent to us or third parties by (a) disabling location services within the device settings; or (b) denying certain websites or mobile applications permission to access location information by changing the relevant preferences and permissions in your mobile device or browser settings.

    4. Security Precautions
    We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to guard your personal data from unauthorized processing, use or disclosure. Our security measures include industry-standard physical, technical, and administrative measures to prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of your information. We also require our service providers to provide privacy and security controls to protect data shared with them in order to perform services.
    The Internet is not an absolutely secure environment, and we cannot guarantee that your personal data will be secure. We therefore strongly recommend that you use a unique, complex password to help us ensure the security of your account. We also strongly recommend that you do not share your password with others or re-use passwords on our Services that you use on other sites or apps, as doing so increases the likelihood of your being the victim of a credential stuffing attack or other malicious cyber behavior.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (more details on data protection authorities and their contact info can be found at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-are-data-protection-authorities-dpas_en).
    With respect to your personal data processed by a third party seller on our Site and App as an independent controller, to exercise your rights under the applicable law, you may contact the third party seller directly.

    6. Retention
    We will retain your personal Data, including any correspondence you have with us, only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice,including retaining Personal Data in order to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, for information security purposes, and to enforce our legal rights, terms, and policies.

    7. Third-Party Websites
    Our App or Site may contain links to third-party sites. This Notice does not apply to those third-party sites. We recommend that you read the privacy statements of any other sites that you visit as we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

    8. Children
    In order to use this site you must be at least 18 years old. SHEIN doesn’t sell products for purchase by children. We may sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you're under 18, you may use SHEIN only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
    If you are under 18, SHEIN may process some of your personal data:
    Product reviews: A parent or other adult who buys an item for you may take a photo of you and post it as part of a review of that product. Parents are advised not to post photos where the child’s face is identifiable.
    Children’s Profiles: A parent or other adult may add a profile for you to their own personal profile. This allows them to tell us what kinds of products they like to buy for you. We use this information to recommend other products to them which we think they might like to buy for you.
    To create this profile, we need to know the approximate age of the child (i.e. what month and year the child was born in) and whether the child is a girl or a boy. We also ask the parent to affirm that they have the legal authority to post the information being provided. The parent or guardian will also be asked to create a nickname for the profile. To best protect the privacy interests of the child, you should not use the child’s name.
    This profile will only be visible to the person who creates it.

    9. Transfer of Your Personal Data
    SHEIN Customer Data for European customers is stored in Europe and largely processed in Europe. However, like all global online retailers, in order to serve customers all over the world, it is necessary for SHEIN to access data internationally.
    When a customer makes a purchase from SHEIN or a SHEIN Marketplace seller, their order and shipping information needs to be provided to the warehouse in order for the order to be fulfilled. As many SHEIN products are shipped from China, this necessitates the transfer of this data to China. This type of data transfer is permitted under Data Protection Legislation as being necessary for the performance of SHEIN’s contract with the customer, and is subject to appropriate safeguards.
    For other internal transfers of personal data among SHEIN affiliates, SHEIN has in place a Global Intra Group Data Transfer Agreement which includes the relevant Special Contractual Clauses as required under GDPR.
