Your data may be transmitted to third parties for certain purposes, for example, to complete your current order or to third parties who assist Neiman Marcus with its marketing efforts, subject to applicable data privacy laws.
We are located in the United States. When you are located in the EEA and the United Kingdom, and provide your personal data to us to place an order online or to subscribe to receive marketing emails from us, your personal data will be transferred to us and may be transferred to the above-mentioned recipients in other jurisdictions which may not have data privacy laws equivalent to those in the EEA or the United Kingdom. By providing your personal data to us, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to us and other recipients described in this policy that are in countries outside of the EEA or the United Kingdom. You may withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of your consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
For customers based in the United States, when you visit this website, whether or not you are logged in or enter any personal information, our web server automatically collects information such as log data and IP addresses, and may collect general information concerning your location. For EEA and UK customers, such information is collected only where we have obtained your consent to do so. We may use this collected information for a number of purposes, such as improving our site design, product assortments, customer service, and special promotions.
When you visit one of our stores and elect to be connected to our wireless network, we may automatically collect information about your geo-location based, in part, upon which wireless network has been accessed. When this happens we de-identify the information, which means that we remove or change (e.g., hash) certain pieces of information that might be used to link the data to you, or to your device. We will not attempt to re-identify geo-location information (i.e., link it to you or your device) unless you affirmatively give us permission to collect geo-location information about you. If you give us such permission, you can later decide to opt-out.
To disable geo-location on your mobile device, open your Settings app, and tap Privacy. Then, tap on Location Services. Scroll down until you see the "NM" app and tap on the toggle on the right-hand side so that the toggle is no longer green.
Our mobile applications will not transmit geo-location information about you to us unless you give them permission to do so.
Some web browsers and devices permit you to broadcast a preference that you not be "tracked" online. At this time, we do not modify your experience based upon whether such a signal is broadcast.

Where we require your personal data to complete your purchase transactions, failure to provide such information may result in us being unable to complete your transactions.
For US residents, we undertake marketing only in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and other applicable laws.

Specifically, among other safeguards, our reasonable security program implements and maintains all 20 of the Center for Internet Security's Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense identified in Appendix A of the California Attorney General Report. As noted in that report, "there is no perfect security," and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination. While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.

California Supply Chain Transparency Act
Neiman Marcus Group (NMG) works with suppliers to protect human rights in our value chain by implementing a responsible sourcing program that requires compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of the United States, and regulations of the respective country of manufacture and exportation, and NMG's own due diligence efforts. In accordance with the California Supply Chain Transparency Act, we take the following actions to ensure that human trafficking and slavery do not exist in our supply chain.
At a minimum, disclose to what extent, if any, that the retail seller or manufacturer engages in verification of product supply chains to evaluate and address risks of human trafficking and slavery. The disclosure shall specify if the verification was not conducted by a third party.
Verification:
To promote safe and legal working conditions in our supply chains that manufacture merchandise under our Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Horchow brands, Neiman Marcus Group has developed a Supplier Code of Conduct that aligns with International Labor Organization (ILO) and Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) standards and addresses a myriad of topics, including forced labor, child labor, working hours, discrimination, freedom of association, health and safety, global diversity, and environmental sustainability. Neiman Marcus Group's private label suppliers are required to sign the Supplier Code of Conduct, which, among other things, requires them to disclose all owned and subcontracted manufacturing facilities used to produce Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Horchow branded goods. Under this Code, vendors agree to comply with customary international standards and to inform all their workers across the globe of their rights. The Code also reminds vendors of their obligation to comply with all applicable national and local laws.
An independent third party engaged by Neiman Marcus Group (NMG) uses this information to conduct a segmentation exercise that evaluates factories' risk by several factors, including country-specific public domain indices covering topics like labor, health and safety, business ethics, and the environment. The results of this exercise are used to assign each supplier a risk rating that informs which audit-related compliance activities they must complete.
Audits
To help verify compliance with NMG's Supplier Code of Conduct, Neiman Marcus Group requires all imported Private Label suppliers who have signed the Supplier Code of Conduct to complete audit-related compliance activities based on risk assessment results.
Audits are conducted by an independent APSCA-certified auditor covering a range of topics and include worker interviews to better understand the working conditions at the facility. Audits are designed to evaluate, among other things, whether worker compensation is compliant with law.
Additionally, NMG regularly conducts CTPAT supply chain security audits (as part of the Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program) at our imported suppliers' facilities. Security auditors are trained to spot potential social compliance concerns (including indicators of forced labor) and to escalate them for further investigation by our independent third-party investigators. NMG makes clear to its suppliers that it will not tolerate, and will investigate, any human trafficking and slavery in the supply chain.
Certification
NMG requires all vendors, suppliers, third-party sellers, manufacturers, contractors, subcontractors, and their agents who conduct business directly with NMG to follow all applicable national and local laws in addition to customary international standards. Also, as noted above, all parties that manufacture merchandise under our Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Horchow brands are required to sign the Supplier Code of Conduct as part of their agreement to do business with NMG, this Code includes a reminder of their compliance obligation.
The standard terms of NMG purchase orders require all vendors to ensure that all merchandise has been produced in compliance with applicable law, including the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, and analogous laws, regulations, rules, or restrictions of any other country with jurisdiction over the vendor or merchandise. Company procedures and standards, including the Supplier Code of Conduct and the NMG Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, that are made available to all suppliers on our operations portal, prohibit the direct or indirect use of convict labor, forced labor, labor obtained by human trafficking and/or slavery, indentured labor under penal sanction, child labor in the manufacture (in whole or in part) of any products supplied to Neiman Marcus Group.
As noted above, Neiman Marcus Group also partners with suppliers on continuous improvement efforts that support them in exceeding minimum requirements and create a positive impact for workers. Example certification programs we encourage suppliers to explore include Fair Trade USA (FTUSA), Fairtrade International, and Reimagining Industry to Support Equality (RISE). For more information, visit Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman's “Fashioned for Change” and “Conscious Curation” edits.
Internal Accountability
We maintain standards and procedures for all associates in the Neiman Marcus Group Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which directs employees to report any concerns about potential forced labor, among other things. Neiman Marcus Group is committed to upholding fundamental human rights and believes that human beings around the world should be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. Importation of goods produced by illegally employed underage workers, convicts, or involuntary labor is prohibited.
Training
Neiman Marcus Group uses a digital learning platform to deliver social and environmental performance training to participating merchants and private label vendors, regarding human trafficking and human rights due diligence. Company personnel also attend conferences and trainings from groups like the Retail Industry Leaders Association, National Retail Federation, Global Fashion Agenda, and the American Apparel and Footwear Association to enhance internal awareness of emerging and established legislation and best practices related to labor and human rights issues.

Applicable law
By visiting this website, you agree that the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Conditions of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us or any of our affiliates.
Disputes
THIS “DISPUTES” SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM OR ACTION, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT WE OR YOU WOULD HAVE IN COURT, SUCH AS APPELLATE REVIEW, ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN THE ARBITRATION PROCESS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
You agree that prior to submitting any dispute or claim to arbitration for resolution, you and we agree to make a good faith effort to resolve it informally, including having at least one telephone conversation between you, personally, and us. To initiate this good faith effort to informally resolve a dispute you agree to notify us in writing at 1618 Main Street, Dallas, Texas 75201, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, of the nature of this dispute, the basis for your claims and the resolution that you are seeking, including any monetary amount, with as much detail as you can provide so that we can gain a sufficient understanding of the dispute. During the 60 days from receipt of this notice you agree to engage in good faith efforts to resolve the dispute, including personally participating in a telephone call with us. You may have a lawyer attend the call with you if you wish. If the dispute is not resolved within those (which period can be extended by agreement of the parties), you or we may commence an arbitration to resolve the dispute consistent with the process set forth below. Compliance with and completing this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing an arbitration. You and we agree to toll the statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration.
If we are unable to resolve the dispute through this mandatory informal dispute resolution process, you and we agree that, except as set forth below, all claims, controversies, counterclaims or disputes between you, on the one hand and us or any agent of ours, on the other hand, will be resolved entirely through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, including, without limitation, disputes that concern any relationship between you and us, your visit to or use of our website, or any products or services that we offer or that you purchase from us. Any of these disputes shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Dallas, Texas, or such other location as a court of competent jurisdiction determines is appropriate, if it determines that Dallas, lTexas is not. However, if you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of Texas. You consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Any arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
WE EACH AGREE TO BRING ANY DISPUTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT ON A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS IN ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. You agree that you may not consolidate your claim with a claim by any person or entity that is not a party to your original arbitration proceeding; and you and we agree that the arbitrator may not preside over any form of a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general proceeding.
Any party to the arbitration may, at any time more than ten (10) days before the arbitration hearing, serve an offer of compromise in writing upon any other party to the action. Offers of compromise pursuant to these Terms will be adjudicated and interpreted in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68.
If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or us from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and we also each have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court or transfer qualifying claims to small claims court. In addition, you and we retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms and Conditions, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms and Conditions.
If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration you and us each waive any right to a jury trial. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Terms and Conditions will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator may award in the arbitration the same damages or other relief available under applicable law, including injunctive and declaratory relief, as if the action were brought in court on an individual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or herein, the arbitrator may not issue a "public injunction" and any such "public injunction" may be awarded only by a federal or state court. If either party seeks a "public injunction," all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any prayer or claim for a "public injunction" in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party's claim or prayer for "public injunctive relief." In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator. This Section of the Terms and Conditions will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
Mass Arbitration Process Requirements. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against us by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated (and your claim is one such claim), you understand and agree that the resolution of your dispute might be delayed. You also agree to the following process and application of the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule and Supplementary Rules. Counsel for the claimants and our counsel shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, the parties shall participate in a global mediation session before a retired state or federal court judge, and we will pay the mediator's fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining matters through mediation at this time, then each side shall select twenty (20) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. (If there are fewer than forty (40) claims remaining, all shall proceed.) The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the forty (40) proceedings, the parties shall participate in another global mediation session before a retired state or federal court judge, and we will pay the mediator's fee. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining matters in mediation at this time, this staged process shall continue with one hundred (100) cases proceeding at one time that are selected randomly or by the AAA in staged sets, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. Between staged sets of proceedings, we agree to participate in a global mediation session should your counsel request it in an effort to resolve all remaining claims. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this section regarding “Disputes” from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against us. Should a court of competent jurisdiction decline to enforce these " Mass Arbitration Process Requirements," you and we agree that your and our counsel shall engage in good faith with the assistance of a Process Arbitrator to devise and implement procedures that ensure that arbitration remains efficient and cost-effective for all parties. Either party may engage with the AAA to address reductions in arbitration fees.

Security Against Fraud
It should come as no surprise that one of our highest priorities at The Neiman Marcus Group is keeping your personal information secure and confidential. To that end, we would like to share some of the most common types of internet scams and suggestions on how you can be aware of and help protect yourself against identity theft.
Fictitious Job Offer Emails Alert
Email campaigns offering fictitious job offers are a reality. The emails can be quite authentic looking. They often purport to have been sent directly from one of our executives or from our human resources department. Enclosures, such as company information sheets and detailed questionnaires, may display The Neiman Marcus Group logo or the logo of one of our divisions (Neiman Marcus, Horchow, Cusp, Last Call, or Bergdorf Goodman). The emails may include a request for payment of a processing fee of several hundred dollars, and/or they may offer reimbursement for certain job-application or relocation expenses.
These emails are fraudulent. The Neiman Marcus Group does not extend job offers via email to individuals with whom it has had no prior contact. We do not ask prospective employees to pay a fee to be considered for a position or to receive a job offer. We do not authorize recruiters or agents to do any of these things on our behalf. Fraudulent job offers are an unfortunate possibility. Please be aware, as we will not honor them in any way.
You should not respond to any of these job offers by revealing personal information, nor should you send any funds in response to them. If you receive one of these fraudulent offers, please report the matter to the U.S. Secret Service. You may also email our security group.
Phishing and Spoofing Alert
This is when a criminal sends you a phony message or a website link that appears to be from a legitimate business. They will directly request that you provide personal financial information, such as:
- Name and address
- Social Security numbers
- Credit card numbers/bank account numbers
- PIN numbers/passwords
Pop-Up Advertisements Alert
Some advertisements "pop up" in a separate browser window advising that you have won a contest or request that you participate in a survey to collect a prize. They may then ask that you provide personal information in order to receive your gift. By clicking on the link it is possible that you are also downloading viruses designed to capture or destroy information on your computer.
Check Scam Alert
A similar but low-tech scam circulates occasionally, in the form of a check, purportedly from The Neiman Marcus Group LLC or one of our divisions, and instructions to deposit it right away, usually in order to receive the balance of a larger sum you have "won" or that has otherwise come to you unexpectedly. You will be instructed to immediately send a payment, in the form of a second personal check, wire transfer, or similar, to some third party to cover taxes, processing fees, administrative costs, or some similarly vague expense. The check you receive in the mail likely would look quite authentic and probably would have our Neiman Marcus Group trademark on it. Do not deposit the check or follow the instructions you receive with it. The check you deposit will bounce; the check you write or funds you wire will clear, before you know about the bounce, and certainly before you can stop payment on your own check.
Important Risk-Reducing Tips
- Never respond to emails that cannot be verified.
- Never provide personal information via email.
- Contact the business by using legitimate phone numbers to verify the request.
- Enter websites using your browser and not by clicking on provided links.
- Be cautious of any solicitation requesting that you deposit a check or pay a fee to collect a prize, get a job, or cover vaguely described "costs".
- Consider filing a report with the Federal Trade Commission and/or state attorney general's consumer protection office, or the FBI. Online complaints may be filed with the FTC at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov, and white collar crimes may be reported to the FBI at www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx.
