If you register to sell a dress, the information you provide is held in our database for the duration of your advertisement. When your dress is sold or you remove your listing, we delete the advertisement and all associated data, including personal data, from our database. Contact-form details and related enquiries are regularly purged and are not retained on our servers after the relevant deletion date.

If you need an image file bearing your name to be removed from internet search results, please contact us, and we will endeavour to do so within 24 hours.
