Advertising Partners

H&M Group collaborates with Advertising Partners, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest and Google.

Our Advertising Partners enable us to identify and engage with the right target audience, to create and distribute personalized marketing content across platforms and services. To be able to choose the content that fits your interests, we can use information obtained from you when you signed-up for newsletter or created an account or made a purchase with us. We may share this information and a customer identifier, e.g., an encrypted email address or device id, with third parties such as Facebook and Google. The purpose is to show relevant ads to you on third party websites and apps. In order to do this, your data is matched with the database of the third party. If a match is found, you will receive promotional and relevant content in your feed or search engine. If no match is found your data is securely destroyed. We take our responsibility to protect the personal data of our customers very seriously and would like to reassure you that this personal data is handled in a secure manner using a technique called hashing. This ensures your data is scrambled in a manner that makes it unreadable to anyone other than the recipient for the explicit given purpose.

We may also link this data through the various devices you use, as well as process data about the ads for example, if you clicked on an ad and then made a purchase. The purpose is to measure the impact of the ad and to enable ad billing.

We also collaborate with Rakuten for affiliate (influencer) marketing and to drive traffic to our web sites.

Each Advertising Partner is responsible for their part of the processing as controllers, including (if any) transfers of personal data to non-EEA countries.

Who has access to your personal data?

We may share your personal data within the H&M Group whenever necessary to fulfil the intended processing purpose. For the same reason, personal data is also shared with suppliers carrying out certain tasks exclusively on our behalf, such as data analytics and marketing content creation. H&M Group is always fully responsible for its suppliers.

We may from time to time also share personal data with independent third parties, such as Advertising Partners, media agencies and electronic communication providers. Please be aware that many of these recipients have an independent right or obligation to process your personal data as controllers.

What is the legal ground to process your personal data?

We will obtain your consent before we send you newsletters through e-mail and text messages.

We will ask for your prior consent regarding marketing that is based on cookie data or other tracking technologies.

If you're an account holder or a subscriber you may hear from us in other channels, such as social media or through surveys. For this processing we rely on our legitimate interest as a business to promote our ads to you.

How long do we keep your data?

H&M Group will process your data no longer than necessary to provide you with ads, promotions, and other direct marketing messages.

We will cease processing your data for marketing purpose once you have closed your customer account, actively rejecting further marketing communication from us. Thereafter your data will be permanently erased.

How to exercise your rights

You have the right to exercise your rights against H&M Group to such personal data vested in our possession and control.

You have, at any time, the right to withdraw your consent for marketing purposes, or object to it if the processing is based on our legitimate interest.

Your consent withdrawal or objection to further marketing communication means cease of all future ads, promotions and other marketing messages originating from your requested brand of the H&M Group, including the underlying processing of personal data for this purpose.

If you, however, continue to receive marketing communication from us displayed in your social media feed or web browser, this is a matter entirely between you and your platform provider.

You can withdraw your consent or object from further marketing communication by the following means:

* following the instruction in each marketing post/email,

* by editing the settings of each of your H&M Group brand account

* configurate the privacy settings on your social media account or browser, or

women The 9-to-5 wardrobe

As cities begin to open up to a new normality, this back-to-work season is slightly more special. Our 2021 pre-fall collection translates this feeling of renewal into pieces that follow the rewritten – and more personal than ever – rules of office dressing.

Whether you have missed sharp suiting, redefined the possibilities of comfort, explored the joy of unexpected staples or reinforced your appreciation for the classics, the choice of power dressing is yours to make – for business but also pleasure.

01 Renewed tailoring

This season, tailoring has multiple meanings – from structured shapes to fluid lines, all in a rich palette that ranges from deep classics and neutrals to vibrant and soft hues. Mix casual and smart with ease for a personal touch that feels new.

02 Easy comfort

Errands, workouts and commuting are enough reasons to prioritise comfort in our day-to-day. The rules of office dressing are more relaxed than ever, and the level of attention to detail, fit and shape of today’s activewear makes dressing up in athleisure a feasible reality.

03 Unexpected uniforms

The work-from-home season has proven that any reason to lift our moods is absolutely valid. Joyful pieces with bold prints, colours or shapes are also comforting staples that spark a cheerful feeling in our every day while helping us embrace our uniqueness. Bring them to work and take them around town to spread the feeling.

04 Trusty classics

When it comes to everyday staples, our collection continues to refine the classic pieces that can transform and play a key part in your existing wardrobe: a dressed-up trench coat, a new pair of denim jeans about to be broken in, a new and crisp shirt or a sculptural carry-all to fit commuting essentials.
