How We Protect Your Personal Data
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices, and security measures that are designed to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and data stored on our Services. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. No Internet transmission, however, is ever completely secure or error-free. Additionally, messages sent through the TSL service are not encrypted.
It is your responsibility to control access to your device, including keeping your login information confidential and not sharing it with anyone. It is also your responsibility to notify TSL if you believe the security of the information in our Services or your TSL account has been compromised.
Prohibiting the disclosure of your personal information
We do not sell, trade, or rent Users’ personal information to others.
TSL may disclose Users' personal information to the following parties and for the purposes for which it was collected as described above:
Restrictions on Sellers from whom you have purchased items
When you buy an item on TSL, the seller is strictly prohibited from using your information for anything other than completing the sale.
Business partners, trusted affiliates, and third-party service providers
We may disclose generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers, without notification to the User of such disclosure. We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business and our Services or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending newsletters or surveys. We may disclose your information, including your personal information, to these third parties only to the extent necessary for them to provide such services to us and such third party service providers are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of that information. These third parties may be located outside of your country of residence, including in Canada, Australia, or European Union (“Offshore Recipients”). In this case, your personal information would be subject to the laws of the country in which the Offshore Recipient is located, which may have laws that require that your personal information be disclosed to government agencies under different circumstances than would your country of residence. While TSL remains committed to protecting your personal information, you consent to this disclosure and acknowledge that TSL has no control over, and is not liable for, the acts and omissions of Offshore Recipients.
Corporate transactions
In the event of a sale, amalgamation, re-organization, transfer or financing of parts of some or all of TSL’s business ("Transaction"), your personal information may be disclosed to an acquiring organization either as part of due diligence or on completion of the transaction. If your personal information is ever disclosed in this context, TSL will require the acquiring organization to agree to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and to only use your personal information for purposes relating to the Transaction. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy.
Law enforcement and government agencies
We may disclose User’s personal information as required by law, including to law enforcement and government agencies in response to a verified request related to suspected illegal activities or related to a criminal investigation. We will only disclose information that we find necessary and relevant ("Disclosed Information"). Disclosed Information may include a User’s name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. Disclosure may be made without notice to User.
Third parties with intellectual property rights
We may disclose User’s personal information to third parties with intellectual property rights who have complied with TSL’s DMCA Notification procedure. We will only disclose information found necessary and relevant in connection to an intellectual property infringement, fraud investigation, or other unlawful activity to which the third party has been subject. Disclosed personal information may include, but is not limited to, User’s name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. Disclosure may be made without notice to User.
For avoidance of doubt, please take note that disclosing personal information to third parties with intellectual property rights includes the disclosure of personal information of a User who has been identified as selling unauthorized goods or replica items, which is in violation of our Terms of Service.
Third parties in a legal proceeding
We may disclose User’s personal information to third parties involved in a legal proceeding if the third party provides TSL with a subpoena or other similar lawful process. Disclosure may be made without notice to User.
TSL will also disclose to third parties involved in a legal proceeding when TSL believes in good faith that disclosing personal information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or to report suspected illegal activity.
Disclosure related to TSL Terms of Use
If TSL believes in good faith that User has breached the Terms of Use or any other TSL Policies, TSL may disclose such User’s personal information as found necessary and relevant to pursuing a claim or preventing further injury to TSL, its Users, and others. Disclosure may be made without notice to User.
Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulator, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation with respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
