Your personal data is stored within the European Union and is accessible only to Longchamp employees within the departments authorized to have access to it.
Where applicable, your personal data may be processed by Longchamp Group companies with which you interact, or by franchisees within the Longchamp network, acting as joint data controllers, by data controllers who are ours partners, and by our service providers acting as data processors.
- The Longchamp Group and its network
Your personal data may be shared with authorized personnel at Longchamp Group companies or our franchisees with whom you interact—whether on a regular or ad hoc basis—when access to this data is necessary to optimize your customer experience and provide you with the same quality of service regardless of which store you visit worldwide.

We engage service providers as needed to act as data processors and process your data on behalf of Longchamp, in accordance with our instructions and under our supervision.
These may include, for example:
- technical service providers (IT service providers, hosting providers, software maintenance providers, or artificial intelligence providers, etc.);
- data analysis and statistics providers;
- media, communications, advertising, and marketing service providers.
We may also need to share certain personal data about you with the data controllers listed below. The processing of your personal data by these partners is subject to their own policies, which you can obtain by contacting them. You may exercise your data protection rights directly with them.

Personal data processed for the virtual eyewear try-on feature on the Site (scanning and/or reconstruction and/or modification of your facial appearance) is collected and processed directly and entirely independently by Fittingbox in its capacity as data controller.
5. Data Transfers
Since the Longchamp Group consists of subsidiaries located abroad, which in turn use data processors in their respective countries or regions, the recipients of your personal data may be located abroad, including outside the European Economic Area, when you visit our stores or use our services from those countries or regions.
Such transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area—particularly to a country for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR—are carried out subject to appropriate safeguards, in accordance with applicable data protection laws, such as the standard contractual clauses provided for in Article 46(2) of the GDPR and/or appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for individuals’ privacy and fundamental rights.
6. Retention Periods
Longchamp does not retain your personal data beyond the period strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, subject to mandatory legal provisions regarding data retention and archiving, in order to comply with applicable administrative, legal, and tax requirements and to maintain a record of transactions and commercial documents associated with those transactions.
Your personal data will not be retained in a form that allows you to be identified for longer than is reasonably considered necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected or for a period not exceeding the applicable statutory limitation periods.
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal data, in order to prevent it from being distorted, damaged, destroyed, or accessed by unauthorized persons. All security measures (software or physical) implemented are state-of-the-art, particularly with regard to the protection of our information systems.
We require our service providers to ensure the security of our data and to strictly comply with our instructions and applicable regulations regarding the protection of personal data. Our service providers are not authorized to use your personal data for any purposes other than those we have specified.
