When you use our Online Channels, both we and certain third parties (such as our advertising networks, digital advertising partners and social media platforms) may collect personal information about your online activities, over time and across third-party websites. Certain web browsers allow you to instruct your browser to send Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals to websites you visit, informing those sites that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. While our Online Channels are not designed to respond to all types of DNT signals or similar mechanisms from browsers as there is no common, industry-accepted standard for doing so, when we recognise a relevant DNT signal, we aim to suppress the third-party tags that are used to recognise your computer once you navigate away from our site and which are used to present you with Tiffany advertisements. In our Cookie Policy, we provide information about how you can manage your cookie preferences and the choices you can make in connection with the personal information we collect about you through automated means. To learn more about managing your preferences in relation to the data we collect on an automated basis, please visit our Cookie Policy

Data transfers

We transfer the personal information we collect about you to the United States and countries outside of the country in which the information originally was collected, including the jurisdictions in which our affiliates and service providers operate. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will implement appropriate safeguards to help ensure that we protect that information as described in this Global Privacy Notice.

If you are located in the European Union (“EU”), United Kingdom or Switzerland, we will comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal information to recipients in countries outside of the EU, UK or Switzerland that have not been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection. In this event, we will implement appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU Commission and/or UK government. With respect to transfers of personal information from the EU, UK or Switzerland to the U.S., Tiffany and Company is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission and Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, respectively, regarding the transfer of personal information from the EU, UK or Switzerland to the U.S. Click hereto view our EU/Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Privacy Policy and access our certifications.

How we protect personal information

We maintain administrative, technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. Unfortunately, no activity can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal information you provide. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.

Children's personal information

Our Online Channels are designed for a general audience and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or other relevant age, as applicable pursuant to relevant law) through our websites and apps.
