4. Data recipients
Your Data will be processed by FRED, its subsidiaries, branches and/or affiliates, and their business partners.

LVMH Group Data processing

  • What is the context of the processing?  

FRED belongs to the LVMH Group, which comprises many exceptional Maisons that offer high quality products and services in all sectors including Fashion & Leather Goods, Perfumes & Cosmetics, Watches & Jewelry, Wines & Spirits, Selective Retailing and Hospitality, Culture & leisure. The list of all LVMH Maisons is available at https://www.lvmh.com. If you are customer of our Maison, you may also be a customer of other LVMH Maisons.

  • What is the purpose of the processing?

We endeavor to improve your experience by proposing personalized offers and services and customized marketing communications that correspond to your interests. This relies on knowing your preferences and interests.

  • How is the processing conducted?

If you consent we will share the purchases you have made with us during the last 3 years with LVMH, our parent company, in a pseudonymous way (which means that your name and your contact details will not be sent to LVMH). Your purchases will be analyzed and matched with purchases you made with other Maisons of the LVMH Group where you have given a similar consent. Each Maison that has your consent will receive back from LVMH generic information concerning your purchasing habits and preferences.

  • Who is the Data Controller?

FRED will remain the sole data controller which means that it is the company that is responsible for the information that you provide to it. LVMH acts as our data processor, or service provider, and will not use your data for any purpose other than the one described above. For example, LVMH will not use your data for its own purposes, will not contact you for marketing purposes based on the data we provide, and will not share information about you with Maisons of the LVMH Group to which you are not a customer and/or to whom you have not given consent.


Within the framework of the provision of its services, FRED may transmit or grant access to your Data for technical, logistical or commercial reasons to the following categories of recipients:

  • the providers of development, hosting and maintenance of the Website, the "e-card"and the FRED Mirror;
  • the service provider conducting the intrusion tests on our Website;
  • the service provider in charge of circulating news (newsletter, invitations and other publications);
  • the marketing and segmentation analysis service providers;
  • the provider of the statistical analysis solution for cookies and trackers;
  • the media agencies in charge of monitoring the performance of FRED;
  • service providers in charge of FRED's targeted campaigns, including social media providers;
  • the service providers managing all the processes within the FRED boutiques (transactions, inventory management, labelling and customer database management, logistics and order management);
  • the department stores in which FRED shop-in-shops may be located, that may require FRED upon request to share your Data because of the consignment structure of our activity, when you agree; these companies then process your Data in accordance with their own data protection policies. They define the purposes and means of the processing operations they carry out and therefore have the status of data controller. FRED cannot therefore be held responsible for the conditions of the processing of your Data by these companies and declines any responsibility in this respect.
  • the business partners to whom the FRED private sales organization is entrusted: the private sales organization may also be entrusted to partners. In order to ensure the management of our invitations to these partner events, we may use the services offered by them to manage the sending of our invitations to the sales they organize and to reconcile our customer database with theirs in order to determine the most appropriate channel to inform you of the sale and avoid in particular the multiplication of invitations for the same sale or to select the guests to FRED events according to the nature of the relationships you have with FRED (customer, LVMH group employee, guest of honour,...), relationship history (for example, participation in other sales or events, purchasing history,...). These partners are bound by strict confidentiality obligations when processing your Data on behalf of FRED as a data processor and may not use your Data for purposes unrelated to the services we entrust to them. However, if you use their services directly, for example by registering on a private sales platform, your Data will be collected and used by the partner under the conditions provided for in their privacy policy, to which you should refer.
  • the service provider in charge of the development and maintenance of the FRED customer relations management platform;
  • the service providers in charge of transaction management and the fight against payment fraud, whose data protection policy you can consult by contacting them directly.

As part of the management of your orders, some FRED service providers who receive your Data may act as data controllers: this is the case in particular for delivery logistics service providers and service providers in charge of payment and fraud management. In this case, the processing of your Data is subject to the personal data protection policies of these providers, which FRED will be able to provide you with on request or which you can obtain by contacting them directly. Similarly, the rights you have under the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data must be directly exercised with these service providers. FRED may also pass on your Data to third parties if this is required by law, a statutory provision or legal decision or if such communication is required in order to protect and defend its rights.
Except for these cases, your Data will not be passed on or made accessible to any third parties, excepted the event of the restructuring of FRED, including a total or partial asset transfer, merger, absorption, acquisition, demerger and in general any reorganization operation, subject to appropriate security and confidentiality measures.

5. Data transfers to third countries
Since FRED has subsidiaries, branches and affiliates located abroad and works with data processors located abroad, the recipients of your Data may also be located abroad, including outside the European Economic Area (referred to hereinafter as the “EEA”) in countries/regions where FRED runs its activities such as Monaco, Switzerland, People’s Republic of China (PRC), Hong-Kong, Japan and Singapour (this list being not exhaustive).
Any transfer of Data outside the EEA, notably to a state for which no adequacy decision has been reached by the European Commission under Article 45 of the GDPR, it will be governed by appropriate guarantees, notably contractual, in accordance with the regulations applying to the protection of personal data, such as standard data protection clauses under Article 46 §2 of the GDPR.
A copy of the relevant guarantees can be obtained by writing to our Data protection officer to the addresses given in Article 2 of the General information.

FRED strives to take all the necessary steps in order to protect the confidentiality and security of your Data and prevent it from being amended, damaged, destroyed or accessed by unauthorized third parties. FRED will ensure in this respect that its Data processors present similar, appropriate security, technical and organizational guarantees.

7. Your rights

  • Withdrawal of consent: you can withdraw at any time your consent in respect of any processing of personal data based on your consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal.

We are not required to comply with your request notably if the processing of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

  • Restriction: you can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data (i.e., keep but not use your personal data) where: the accuracy of your personal data is contested; the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; it is still necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; to verify the existence overriding grounds following the exercise of your right of objection. We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction, where: we have your consent; to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.
  • Portability: you can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it 'ported' directly to another data controller, but only where the processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract with you, and the processing is carried out by automated means.

You also have the right to object:
  • for reasons relating to your particular situation, to processing operations based on FRED's legitimate interest. If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can either demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or where we need to process the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
  • to processing for the purpose of commercial prospecting. As such, you may at any time request to no longer receive communications regarding our offers, products, news and events by using the unsubscribe link provided for this purpose in each email we send you.

FRED is a jewellery House within the LVMH group. The LVMH group places a great deal of importance on the protection of its trademarks, products, know-how and image. In this context the LVMH group, alongside and in cooperation with the public authorities, has introduced a number of tools to detect fraud and counterfeiting and centralises all information relating notably to counterfeiting offences and parallel imports which it may detect or which are reported concerning the brands and products of the LVMH group or any other infringement of the rights of the companies within the LVMH group, a list of which can be obtained from the website www.lvmh.fr, including in relation to the FRED House.
In this context, the LVMH group may be required to collect and process certain personal data concerning individuals who are suspected to have committed or been involved in such infringements as well as any witnesses.
This information will only be retained for the requirements and duration required for the verification of the detected or reported facts and, if applicable, for the implementation of proceedings or means intended to settle the matter until the case is finally closed or, if the LVMH group decides not to initiate proceedings, for a period of five (5) years from the last incident recorded.
