Shopper privacy notice
This notice is for shoppers who use the FitMyType size tool (“Find my size”) on a shop. It says what the tool asks, what it stores, who receives data, and what you can do.
In short
- The size tool on this shop is run by FitMyType for the shop. It uses your answers only to find your size.
- Nothing is stored on your device for statistics unless you accept analytics in the shop's cookie banner.
- Your body answers stay on your device only if you tick “Remember me on this device”.
- All data we keep is hosted in the European Union.
- “Forget my data” in the size tool clears what is on your device at any time.
Who is responsible for your data
The shop you are visiting decides why and how your data is used: it is the controller. FitMyType runs the size tool for the shop and handles your data only on the shop's behalf and on its instructions: we are its processor.
Questions about your data go to the shop first. You can also write to us at [email protected]; we pass your request to the shop and help it answer.
What the size tool asks, and why
To find your size, the size tool asks a few questions. Which ones depends on the product. Each answer is used only to work out your size and how a size will fit you.
| What | Where it is kept | Why | Legal basis | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gender, age, height and weight | Sent to our servers for your size; on your device only after “Remember me” | The overall shape of your body | Your request for a size | See “What we keep on our servers” |
| Body shape, bra size, brands and sizes you usually wear | Same as above | A more precise size | Your request for a size | See “What we keep on our servers” |
| Foot or head size (shoes and helmets) | Same as above | The size of that product | Your request for a size | See “What we keep on our servers” |
| Your fit preference and the size you chose | Our servers | To show the result and improve the shop's size advice | Your request for a size | See “What we keep on our servers” |
We do not ask for your name, email address, photo or payment details, and we do not use your answers for advertising.
What is stored on your device
The size tool runs inside the shop page. It can keep a few small items in your browser. The table lists every one of them. None of them is written for statistics before you accept analytics in the shop's cookie banner.
| Name | Where | What it holds | When it is written | How long it stays |
|---|---|---|---|---|
fmt_device_id
|
shop page: localStorage and a first-party cookie | A random id for this browser, so the shop's size statistics can count visits and orders. | Only after you accept analytics in the shop's cookie banner. | The cookie expires after 12 months; local storage until you clear it or use “Forget my data”. |
ftl_device_id
|
shop page: localStorage and a first-party cookie | A visitor id an earlier size tool on the shop may have left. We copy it once into fmt_device_id, then delete it. | Read only after analytics consent; we never write it. | Deleted when it is copied. |
fmt_mm:<shop>:<product>
|
shop page: localStorage | The time the widget last told us that a product's sizes on the page differ from its size chart. | When the widget finds such a difference on a product page. | Used for 24 hours; stays until you clear your browser storage. |
persist:fmt_plugin
|
widget frame: localStorage | Your unit and language, your last size per product, your usual sizes, when you saw a survey, and your “Remember me” choice. No body measurements. | Only after analytics consent or your own “Remember me on this device” tick. | Last results are dropped after 180 days; the rest until you use “Forget my data” or clear your browser storage. |
fmt_bodies_v1
|
widget frame: localStorage | Your saved bodies: the answers and measurements you chose to keep, with the name you gave each body. | Only after you tick “Remember me on this device”. | Until you delete it, use “Forget my data”, or do not use it for 12 months. |
fmt_measure_offer
|
widget frame: sessionStorage | That you said “No thanks” to the measuring offer. | When you dismiss the offer. | Until you close the browser tab. |
__fmt_probe__
|
widget frame: localStorage | A test value that checks whether the browser allows storage. | When the widget opens. | Removed at once. |
Saved bodies (“Remember me on this device”)
Your body answers are saved on your device only after you tick “Remember me on this device” yourself. The shop's cookie banner does not decide this. Saved bodies stay until you delete them, use “Forget my data”, or do not use them for 12 months; then they are deleted.
Statistics and your cookie choice
The size tool follows the choice you made in the shop's cookie banner. Without analytics consent, no device id (fmt_device_id) is written and no usage events are sent to us. Events that happen before you accept are dropped, not sent later.
With your consent, we record events such as “size shown” or “added to cart” with a random device id, so the shop can see whether its size advice works.
What we keep on our servers, and for how long
- Your IP address is never stored with the events.
- The raw browser description (the “user agent”) is kept for 30 days, to filter out bots; then it is deleted.
- Body answers stored with events are anonymised after 25 months: the link to your device id is removed.
- 3D body data is encrypted with its own key.
Sizes for children
For a child's product, the size tool asks for the child's measurements in the same way, and uses them only to find the child's size. We ask nothing else about the child: no name, no birth date, no photo.
Where your data is hosted
All data we keep is hosted in the European Union. When a service provider outside the EU is involved, the sub-processor list says so and names the safeguard.
Your choices and rights
- “Forget my data”, under the first question of the size tool, clears what the size tool stored on this device at once.
- To get a copy of your data, or to have it deleted from our servers, ask the shop or write to [email protected]. Tell us the shop's name; we answer within one month.
- You can also complain to your data protection authority.
