YOUR CHOICES
We believe in giving you choices about how your Personal Information is used. Below are some ways that you may exercise these choices, including how to change or correct your Personal Information and how to unsubscribe from marketing communications from us.
We encourage you to review this entire Privacy Policy to fully understand the choices you may have, such as allowing or blocking cookies, online behavioral tracking and advertising, asking for your Personal Information to be deleted, or asking what Personal Information we have collected from you. See “SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICES” section below for additional information about choices that may apply to you based on your location.
When you set up an account, sign in or log in on one of our Platforms, you can access, correct, or update your choices and settings. If you receive email marketing communications from us on behalf of any of our brands and want to opt out of receiving such communications from that brand in the future, you can opt out by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of the promotional email. Similarly, if you receive direct mail from us and no longer want to receive it, you can opt out of future mail by e-mailing us at [email protected]. Please be sure to include your full name, mailing address and e-mail address along with the types of information you do not want to receive. It may take up to 8 weeks to process an opt-out from direct mail.
Some services will allow you to accept or reject use of geolocation technologies but, if you don’t accept, you may not be able to enjoy certain features on our Platforms (such as the full “find a store” option).
Unless otherwise explained to you in advance, you are not obligated to provide your Personal Information to us. If you decide not to provide your Personal Information, we might, in some instances, not be able to provide you with a product or service. Additionally, if you have opted out of certain services, such as marketing communications, you may still hear from us for other purposes such as needed to fulfill your orders or responding to Customer Service inquiries.
SECURITY AND DATA RETENTION
Safeguarding Your Personal Information
We care about protecting your Personal Information, so we employ reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to help keep it safe, including encryption and in some cases techniques that reduce the ability to identify an individual. Personal Information may be accessed by persons within our organization, our third party service providers, or the other persons described in this Privacy Notice who require such access to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or that are otherwise permitted or required by applicable law. Unless otherwise noted, including in our “SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICES”, Personal Information we collect for North and South America is managed from our headquarters in San Francisco.
No data collection, storage, or transmission, including over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so despite our efforts we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any data you transmit to us, including on, or through, our Platforms. When you communicate with customer service via email or chat, we ask that you not share sensitive Personal Information via these communication channels. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
When you register on one of our Platforms, you will need to set up a password to access your information on our site. Note that we don’t ask customers to confirm account or credit card details by email — if you receive an email claiming to be from us and asking for this information, don’t respond.
We store your Personal Information on the basis of applicable law and retain it as required to satisfy the purpose for which the data is processed, unless a longer period is required for purposes such as complying with retention obligations, record keeping or other commercial requirements.

This section serves as our California notice at collection.
Personal Information We Collect, Use, and Disclose
To review the types of Personal Information we collect, the sources of this information and how we use and disclose this information, read the section of our Privacy Notice titled “YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION”. We will not collect additional categories, or use the Personal Information we collected, for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice and obtaining your consent, where required.
Sensitive Personal Information
As described in our Privacy Notice, we may offer features that collect precise geolocation data that can be enabled with your consent (e.g., finding the nearest Dockers store through our mobile app). This information is considered sensitive Personal Information under State Privacy Laws. We do not use or disclose this information to infer characteristics about you and we do not “sell,” “share,” or use sensitive Personal Information for purposes of targeted advertising.
Sharing, Selling and Targeted Advertising
As described in the “YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION” and “COOKIES, TRACKING AND ADVERTISING” sections of our Privacy Notice, we disclose certain categories of Personal Information for a variety of purposes, including to show you targeted ads on third-party properties (e.g., other websites or platforms). These disclosures may be considered “sales,” “sharing,” or use of Personal Information for “targeted advertising” as defined under State Privacy Laws. The definition of “sale” refers to the disclosure of Personal Information in exchange for monetary, or, in some cases, other valuable consideration. What is considered “valuable consideration” may be hard to interpret and could cover many common commercial activities.
In the last 12 months, we disclosed the following categories of Personal Information:
- Contact Information and Identifiers (e.g., email addresses, device identifiers)
- Online and Technical Information internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., browsing data, information about your activities on our Platforms)

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
State Privacy Laws provide specific rights regarding your Personal Information. A full description of these rights and how to exercise them is included below. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf and with written permission, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.

Where we are required to honor these signals by law, you can also opt out by visiting our websites with a legally recognized universal opt-out signal enabled (such as the Global Privacy Control). If you are not logged into an account with us, our processing of this signal will be limited to cookie-based sales, sharing and targeted advertising for the specific browser or device that you are using.

You have the right to (1) request to know more about and access your Personal Information, including in a portable format, (2) request deletion of your Personal Information, and (3) request correction of inaccurate Personal Information. Residents of Minnesota and Oregon also have the right to request a list of the third parties that receive personal information from us.

We will process your request in accordance with State Privacy Laws, including any exceptions that may apply in fulfilling your request. For example, we may not be able to fulfill your request if we cannot verify your identity. If we are unable to fulfill your request, we will notify you.
AUTHORIZED AGENTS
If you are an authorized agent seeking to make an opt-out request for a consumer, please submit a request here: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.
If you reside in California, you may also designate an authorized agent to submit an access, deletion, or correction request on your behalf. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. We may ask authorized agents to submit proof of their authority to make a request, such as a valid power of attorney or proof that they have signed permission from the consumer who is the subject of the request. In some cases, we may be required to contact the individual who is the subject of the request to verify his or her own identity or confirm the authorized agent has permission to submit the request. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make an access, correction, or deletion request on behalf of a California resident, please use the following link: Authorized Agent Privacy Rights Request.

NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVES – CALIFORNIA & COLORADO CONSUMERS
We may offer discounts, rewards, coupons, exclusive offers, and other benefits to customers who join our loyalty program or participate in certain promotional campaigns. These offerings may constitute “financial incentives” or “bona fide loyalty programs” under State Privacy Laws (for simplicity, we refer to these offerings as financial incentives throughout this Privacy Notice).
Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time. You can opt in to, or opt out of, our financial incentive programs at any time through the means they are offered, or by contacting us through the contact methods described in the “CONTACT US” section in our Privacy Notice. If you request that we delete Personal Information that is essential to providing you with the financial incentive, we will not be able to provide you with such benefits going forward. For example, if you ask us to delete your email address, we will no longer be able to email you discounts, coupons, or other exclusive offers or benefits.
The details of each financial incentive program are contained in the program offering. Our current programs can be found here. The financial incentives offered by LS&Co. from time to time in exchange for consumers’ Personal Information, such as identifiers (typically a promotional discount in exchange for an email address or for joining a member rewards program) are commonly percentage discount codes to be applied to a single purchase. The discounts may result in a range of savings to the consumer, depending on the details of the purchase, and are primarily offered to consumers as a way of introducing them to the LS&Co. product and brand, following which we are confident the quality of our products and service will turn a first-time purchaser into a loyal and delighted long term LS&Co. consumer.
Incentives are not directly tied to, or exclusively based upon, a set value of any individual element of consumer data, but are reasonably based in good faith on the following considerations:
- Most individuals first experience our brand online and offering an incentive provides a unique opportunity for them to explore our products.
- The majority of LS&Co.’s marketing and advertising activities are done online, and email communications are a key part of reaching existing and potential consumers in a manner which they both expect and that allows for them to exercise choices about how or whether or not to be contacted.
- Discounts may also be affected by factors such as performance targets, geographic location, seasonality, and market trends.
The potential value to our business of any individual consumer’s Personal Information is dependent on a number of factors, including the ability to combine this information with a broader set of other consumers’ Personal Information, whether, and to what extent, a consumer takes advantage of or opts out of any offerings, and whether we are able to use the data as described here. Our ability to create any value from financial incentive programs is heavily based on the quantity of data ingested through these proprietary programs, and our ability to leverage it. The value of your Personal Information is reasonably related to the value of the offer or discount presented.
DATA RETENTION
We store your Personal Information as permitted by applicable law and as required to satisfy the purpose for which the data is processed, unless a longer period is required for purposes such as complying with retention obligations, record keeping or other commercial requirements.
FOR CANADIAN RESIDENTS
If you are a Canadian resident, this section applies to you. In the event of a conflict between the Privacy Notice and this Supplemental Notice for Canada residents, the terms of this Supplemental Notice will prevail to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
You have a right to request access to your Personal Information and to request a correction to it if you believe it is inaccurate subject to certain exceptions.
By submitting Personal Information to us, or to our service providers and agents, you consent to the collection use, disclosure, and transfer of your Personal Information in accordance with our Privacy Notice and as permitted or required by law. You may withdraw your consent at any time to the collection, use, disclosure, or transfer of your Personal Information time by contacting us. If you withdraw your consent (or if you decide not to provide certain Personal Information), you acknowledge that we may not be able to provide you, or continue to provide you, with certain products, services, or information that may be of value to you.
We will only send you commercial electronic messages (“CEMs”) where we have your express or implied consent to do so. Your consent to receive CEMs is implied where we have an existing business relationship with you, or you have reached out to us and made an inquiry within a certain time frame. You may unsubscribe from receiving CEMs at any time, by clicking the unsubscribe button on an email or following the direction provided in a text message. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional messages, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations.
To submit requests or exercise your choices as described in this Supplemental Notice, you may contact us using the details below or at the email, phone number or mailing address set out in the “CONTACT US” section of the Privacy Notice.
To help protect against fraudulent requests, we may ask you for additional information to confirm that the person making the request is you or is authorized to act on your behalf before granting access.
If you are a resident of Quebec and we collect personal information about you in Quebec, that information will be communicated outside of Quebec to other locations in Canada, the United States or other places where we or our service providers process your information.
