1. Personal Information We Collect About You

We collect and process Personal Information about you or your devices from various sources described below.

Personal Information you provide to us

This is Personal Information about you that you provide directly to The Xcess and our service providers, including:

• Region and language. When you visit our Sites or Apps, we may ask you to select your region and language to provide you with the relevant Services.

• Registration and profile information. When you create an account on our Services, we will collect your name, email address, and a password. You may also provide optional profile information such as watches you own and products you’re following. When you enquire, make an offer or complete a transaction on the Services, that information will be tracked in your account.

• Marketing information. When you sign up to receive SMS marketing messages from us, you provide us with your mobile phone number. Our SMS program is subject to the terms and conditions found here.

• Purchase information. When making a purchase via our Services, we collect your shipping address, payment information and billing address. Payment information is collected through a third-party payment gateway and we do not store payment card information. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also need to provide additional information related to customs and taxes, for example a VAT ID.

• User information. Users must provide payout information including date of birth, address, and bank account information when using certain Services. This information is collected through a third-party payment gateway and we do not store payment card information. We may additionally require a government identification number (e.g., National ID, Passport ID) to satisfy information reporting obligations.

• Identity Verification Information. Under certain circumstances, we may need to verify the identity of a User on the Services. To do this, we may request that you provide government photo identification, and a Live Photo to us, which can confirm a match between your government identification and live photo. This process may employ the use of biometric data, which you can read more about here: Biometric Data Policy.

• Communications. When you contact us via a contact form, email, phone, or other means (e.g., to submit a query, or to report a problem with our Services), you may provide us with Personal Information, such as your name and contact details, language, and the content, date, and time of our communications.

• Surveys and reviews. If you have chosen to receive marketing messages from us, we may contact you to participate in surveys about the Services or provide product or Services reviews. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide Personal Information.

Some of this information is considered “sensitive personal information” under some laws. Where we collect sensitive personal information, we do so either with your consent or because it is necessary to provide the Services to you (e.g., Bank Account Information), to fulfil a legal reporting requirement, or to prevent and detect fraud on the Platform. In some cases, provision of your Personal Information may be necessary to provide you with our Services. In these cases, if you fail to provide certain Personal Information when requested, we may be required to suspend your access to our Services.

Personal Information collected automatically from your use of the Services Like most websites, when you use our Services or open our marketing messages, we automatically collect certain information via automated means such as cookies, pixels, beacons, invisible tags, and similar technologies (collectively “Cookies”). These typically involve pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer hard drive or mobile device to store and sometimes track information about you.

We may collect the following types of information via Cookies:

3. How We Use Cookies and Targeted Advertising

Our use of Cookies. As explained above, we use Cookies to automatically collect data from you and your devices when you use the Services. Cookies enable you to be remembered when using a specific computer or device to interact with websites and online services and can be used to manage a range of features and content as well as storing searches and presenting personalised content. Certain Cookies also enhance our ability to serve you targeted advertising on websites and platforms other than the Services.

The types of Cookies we use can be classified as follows:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These Cookies are required for the operation of our Services and under our terms with you. They include, for example, Cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Services, use a shopping cart, or make use of e-billing services.

• Functional cookies. These Cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our Services and provide enhanced functionality. This enables us to personalise our content, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

• Performance cookies. These Cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of users and to see how users move around our Services. This helps us to improve the way our Services work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

• Targeting cookies. These Cookies record your visit to our Services, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Services and our advertising more relevant to your interests (as further set forth below). We may also disclose this information to third parties for this purpose.

Cookie preferences. By continuing to use our site, you agree to our use of Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser settings to prevent to prevent the further collection of your information through the Performance, Targeting or Functional Cookies on the Services. How you can do this will depend on the browser you use (see your browser help screen for details).

You may not be able to take full advantage of our Services if you disable certain Cookies. The effect of disabling Cookies depends on which Cookies you disable but in general, the Services may not operate properly if all Cookies are switched off.

Our use of targeted advertising. We use online advertising to keep you aware of our brand and help you to find and see our products. We partner with platforms such as Google, Meta, and similar digital advertising partners. Targeting Cookies help us and the advertising partners we work with gather information about the content you visit on our Services and other websites. This may result in you seeing The Xcess banners and ads when you are on other websites, apps and social media platforms.

We may also target ads using Personal Information we have collected when you create an account on the Services. We may disclose certain pseudo-anonymised (hashed) portions of your Personal Information (typically your email address) to social media and internet platforms. If you have an account on one of these platforms, you may be shown The Xcess marketing messages while you are using the social media or internet platform.

Targeted advertising preferences. You may opt-out of us using your Personal Information for targeted advertising by changing your Cookie preferences on your web browser. If you are using a web browser with Global Privacy Control enabled, we will recognise that signal as a request to opt-out of Targeting Cookies.

Additionally, our advertising partners may participate in programs that provide simple ways to opt out of ad targeting across the internet.

6. How We Transfer Your Personal Information

The Xcess has its headquarters in Singapore. Information we collect about you will be processed in Singapore and depending upon the nature of your interaction with us, may be further processed in other countries. For example, if your goods are being shipped from a country other than where you are located, your Personal Information will be disclosed to a carrier in that country as part of our shipping process.

We comply with applicable legal requirements when transferring Personal Information to other countries under the Singapore PDPA. Where Personal Information is transferred outside of Singapore, we will ensure that such Personal Information is afforded a standard of protection that is at least comparable to the protection afforded under the Singapore PDPA.

If you are a non-Singaporean user of the Service, by visiting the Service and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that your Personal Information may be processed for the purposes identified in the Privacy Policy. In addition, your Personal Information may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including Singapore, where laws regarding processing of Personal Information may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By providing your Personal Information, you consent to such transfer.

7. How We Protect Your Personal Information

We take steps to secure the Personal Information you provide through the Services, although no method of data transfer or storage on networks is 100 percent secure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, destruction or alteration.

You have a role to play in protecting your information, too. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to disclose a password with anyone, and to use a unique password on the Services.

We do not collect or store the credit or debit card or other payment information that you provide in the context of the Services. Payments made on the Services using a credit or debit card are made directly through a third-party payment gateway provider. We do not collect or store Personal Information that you may provide to our identity verification service providers, if any. Personal Information that you supply to third-parties is not within our control and is subject to those third-parties’ privacy policies and terms of service.

8. How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We will retain Personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. We delete your Personal Information or keep it in a form that does not identify you when this retention period is over.

When determining the retention period, we consider various criteria, such as the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrolment with our Services, the impact on our ability to provide you with certain features of our Services if we delete some information from or about you, and mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.

We may also retain aggregate information beyond this time for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our Services. You cannot be identified from aggregate information retained or used for these purposes.

9. Personal Information of Children

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from children under 16; if you are a child under 16, please do not attempt to register on or otherwise use the Services or send us any Personal Information. If we learn we have collected Personal Information from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us with their Personal Information, please contact us at https://thexcess.com/contact.

10. Third-Parties

Our Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.

We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.
