We are committed to protect the security and confidentiality of your personal data.

Where do my personal data go? Who are the recipients, where is it transferred and for what purposes?
Personal data collected through our Sites or other Supreme Digital Platforms, as part of the sale of goods in our stores and Sites and as part of our customer service, are stored on the servers provided and managed by our third-party storage and hosting provider AWS, with registered offices located at Greenhills Road, Tymon North, Dublin, Ireland.

In the above referenced circumstances, refusal to provide your personal data would make it impossible for us to perform the contract or to provide the requested services, products or information as above specified.
Providing your personal data for survey, marketing and other profiling purposes, as above specified, is optional; refusal to provide your personal data for these purposes will not have any impact on the entering into or performance of the contract.
