You don’t have to give us all of this personal information but if you don’t, you may not be able to buy from the site, and you are unlikely to receive our optimal overall customer experience. But that is your choice – and we respect that.
We also anonymize and/or aggregate personal information (so that it does not identify you) and use it for purposes including testing our IT systems, research, data analysis (for us and the brands sold through our site and app), improving our site and app, and developing new products and services.

Detecting and preventing fraud is an unfortunate, but an absolutely essential part of our service and our contract commitment to you. Legally, we have to do this, and it is very important for us.
We also use Purchase history data, to protect our service and uphold our Terms of Service as part of our contract commitment to you, as part of this we may make use of computer-system decisions to protect Saturday Society and our Service. Your rights in relation to this are detailed below.
