We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share personal information of consumers under the age of 16.
We also do not use or disclose any sensitive personal information for purposes other than those authorized by you or as permitted by law.
We will only process sensitive personal information where it is reasonably necessary for the purposes of carrying out our legal obligations or exercising specific rights as permitted by law. Sensitive personal information is any information that reveals your race, ethnic origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health condition, treatment, or diagnosis, sex life or sexual orientation, citizenship or citizenship status, genetic or biometric data, personal information of a known child, or precise geographic data. For example, we may share financial or other data to provide customer service, process or fulfill orders and transactions, verify your information, or process payments. For any other use, we will obtain your explicit consent. For example, if you consented to precise geographic location when installing our mobile app, we may use this information to provide you with store locations and distances to such locations. If you did not consent, we will use approximate geographic data or geographic data based on your input (e.g., zip code).
When installing the Bath & Body Works app, you may have given the app permission to access the precise geographic location data from your phone’s operating system. If you wish to change this setting, you may do so through the app. Within the app, go to the More function at the bottom of the screen. Then go to App Settings and find Permissions. Under Location Permission, you can turn off “Use precise location” if you wish to change to approximate location setting. You can also select “Don’t Allow” or “Ask every time.” Your phone specific operating system may also allow you to change the permission settings. Please review your operating system instructions as they may be different for each operating systems and versions.
We retain information as necessary to effectively service our customers; provide relevant product assortments and advertisements; assist you with customer service-related matters; and comply with our legal obligations. The need to retain personal information varies widely with the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected. We strive to ensure that personal information for the period required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and is deleted when no longer required per our retention policies.
This policy covers all information, including sensitive personal information, collected by us and stored on our owned or leased systems and media, regardless of location. It applies to both information collected and held electronically (including photographs, video and audio recordings) and information that is collected and held as hard copy or paper files. The need to retain certain information may be mandated by federal, state or local laws or regulations, legitimate business purposes, litigation hold, or any combination thereof.
We retain all categories of consumer personal information to:
- service our customers who are actively engaging with us and for a set period thereafter;
- comply with applicable labor, tax and immigration laws;
- comply with other regulatory requirements;
- investigate security incident or other investigation;
- preserve Intellectual property rights; and
- assist in defense or prosecution of any litigated or threatened matter.
When the retention period for the information as outlined above expires, we will destroy the information covered by this policy.
