INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
BETWEEN LULULEMON COMPANIES:
As lululemon is a global business with operations and subsidiaries both inside and outside of the UK and EEA, the personal data that we collect may be transferred to and stored or otherwise processed by our holding company, corporate affiliates, subsidiaries, and service providers outside of the UK, Switzerland and the EEA, including (but not limited to) in the United States, Canada or Australia.

DATA SHARING, ADS, & COMMUNICATION OPT-OUTS:
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Upon your consent, we’ll send you marketing messages to keep you aware of what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products and services.
You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us at any time by following the instructions in those communications or by logging into your online account and changing your communications preferences. In addition, whilst you have the right to withdraw at any time, this does not affect the lawfulness of our processing of your personal data prior to the date that you withdrew your consent.
If you let us know that you don’t want to receive marketing messages, it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so it is possible that you still get communications from us while we process your request.
Please note that if you opt out, we will still send you non-promotional communications and you will still continue to receive service communications, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations like order updates. We need to do this to comply with our contractual commitments with you and sometimes the law.
