The Silk Trend Customer Privacy Policy

What Is Personal Data at The Silk Trend

​

At The Silk Trend, we believe strongly in fundamental privacy rights — and that those fundamental rights should not differ depending on where you live in the world. That’s why we treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual or that is linked or linkable to them by The Silk Trend as “personal data,” no matter where the individual lives. This means that data that directly identifies you — such as your name — is personal data, and also data that does not directly identify you, but that can reasonably be used to identify you — such as the serial number of your device — is personal data. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy covers how The Silk Trend or an The Silk Trend-affiliated company handles personal data whether you interact with us on our websites, through The Silk Trend apps (such as The Silk Trend Music or Wallet), or in person (including by phone or when visiting our retail stores). The Silk Trend may also link to third parties on our services or make third-party apps available for download in our App Store. The Silk Trend’s Privacy Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and know your privacy rights before interacting with them. 

 

​

Your Privacy Rights at The Silk Trend

​

At The Silk Trend, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal data. We have provided these rights to our global customer base and if you choose to exercise these privacy rights, you have the right not to be treated in a discriminatory way nor to receive a lesser degree of service from The Silk Trend. The Silk Trend does not sell your data including as “sale” is defined in Nevada and California. 

 

To help protect the security of your personal data, you must sign in to your account and your identity will be verified.There may be situations where we cannot grant your request — for example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data and The Silk Trend is legally obligated to keep a record of that transaction to comply with law. We may also decline to grant a request where doing so would undermine our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as The Silk Trend when you request deletion of an account that is being investigated for security concerns. Other reasons your privacy request may be denied are if it jeopardizes the privacy of others, is frivolous or vexatious, or would be extremely impractical.
