To do this, we may ourselves, or with third party vendors, use cookies and other tracers to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit other websites or our Services. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, we or our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising, sometimes called “targeted advertising,” “behavioral advertising,” or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our vendors to know your interests in connection with the delivery of that specific ad. We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see advertisements that are relevant to your interests. We comply with the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising as administered by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). However, if you would like to opt out of these interest-based advertisements, please follow the opt-out process described below. In this regard we invite you to consult our Cookie Policy.

Where allowed by applicable laws and subject to your consent, Vilebrequin also uses the services of Google Analytics, a Google Inc. internet service, or similar services to this, in order to track the Users’ interaction with the Website and its performances. For this purpose, Google Analytics collects data and automatically generates reports that are supplied to Vilebrequin. To view the full list of cookies that we use and to find out how we use them, please read our Cookie Policy.

If you would like to stop or restrict the placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our cookies or disabling future cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of the Services or some of its functionality may be affected.

The online advertising industry provides a service through which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from certain data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can opt out of targeted advertising from certain providers that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) program at www.aboutads.info/consumers. Other providers are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, and you can opt out of interest-based advertising by those members by visiting http://optout.networkadvertising.org/. Please note that by opting out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your specific interests and activities.

For clarity, cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted out. For example, if you have opted out on your device browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device. Additionally, if you opt out on one of your devices, that opt out may not be effective on all of your devices. You must separately opt out on each device.

For targeted advertisements delivered through mobile apps, you can install the DAA’s AppChoices app on your device to opt out of targeted advertising by certain providers and can also select a system level advertising preference feature on your device (such as “Limit Ad Tracking” on Apple devices or “Opt-out of Interest-based ads” on Android devices).

Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective on some mobile services. Users may opt out of certain advertisements on mobile applications or reset advertising identifiers via their device settings. To learn how to limit ad tracking or to reset the advertising identifier on your iOS and Android device, click on the following links:

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

To use an authorized agent to make a verifiable consumer request, you must provide the authorized agent written authorization to do so. You may also be required to verify your own identity directly with Vilebrequin. Vilebrequin may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized to act on your behalf. Such requirements, however, will not apply where you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Cal. Probate Code §§ 4000 to 4465.

Upon receiving a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, we will confirm receipt within 10 days and provide information about how we will process the request, how we will verify your identity, and when you should expect a response (except in cases in which we have already granted or denied the request). We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For Right to Know Requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

Sales of Personal Information



If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the "Right to Opt-Out"). We do not and will not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in"). Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet Web page link: Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by emailing privacy@vilebrequin.com


You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

If we have a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent, we may deny the request.

You may use an authorized agent to submit a request to opt-out on your behalf. To use an authorized agent to submit a opt-out request, you must provide the authorized agent with written authorization. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Non-Discrimination


We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • - Deny you goods or services.

  • - Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

  • - Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.

  • - Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may charge you a different price or rate, or provide you a different level or quality of goods or services, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to us by your information. We may offer you financial incentives, including payments as compensation, for the collection of personal information, the sale of personal information, or the deletion of personal information. We may also offer a different price, rate, level, or quality of goods or services to you if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided to us by your data. We will notify you of any financial incentives. We will only enter you into a financial incentive program if you give us prior opt-in consent that clearly describes the material terms of the financial incentive program, which you may revoke at any time. We will not use financial incentive practices that are unjust, unreasonable, coercive, or usurious in nature.

How to Contact Us About Your Virginia Privacy Rights

To exercise any of your Virginia privacy rights, or if you have any questions about your privacy rights, you may contact us by:

Verification of Your Identity.

After submitting a request, we will take steps to verify your identity in order for us to properly respond and/or confirm that it is not a fraudulent request. In order to verify your identity, we will request, at a minimum, that you provide your name, email address, phone number, address, and relationship to us, so that we can seek to match this information with the information existing in our systems. When providing us this information, you represent and affirm that all information provided is true and accurate. If we are unable to verify using reasonably commercial efforts that the consumer submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected personal information, then we are not required to comply with the request; we may contact you for more information reasonably necessary to authenticate the request, but ultimately we may not be able to meet your request.
Only you may make a verifiable request related to your personal information. If you are making a request as the parent or legal guardian of a known child regarding the processing of that child’s personal information, we may ask you to submit reliable proof of your identity.

Our Response Time to Your Request

We will make every effort to respond to your request within forty-five (45) days from when you contacted us. If you have a complex request, the VCDPA allows us up to ninety (90) days to respond. We will still contact you within forty-five (45) days from when you contacted us to let you know we need more time to respond and the reason for the extension.

Your Right to Appeal

If we decline to take action regarding a request that you have submitted, we will inform you of our reason for declining to take action and provide instructions for how to appeal the decision. In the event that we do not respond to a request that you make pursuant to one of the privacy rights set forth in this section, you have the right to appeal our refusal to take action within a reasonable period of time after you receive our decision. Within 60 days of our receipt of an appeal, we will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If the appeal is denied, we will also provide you with an online mechanism, if available, or other method through which you may contact the Attorney General to submit a complaint.
