Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships
-
In June 2016, Accenture and Demandware announced that Charles Tyrwhitt had selected Demandware Commerce Cloud for e-commerce and Accenture Strategy’s Javelin Group as implementation partner for an omni-channel programme spanning the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and Australia.1
-
The 2016 announcement described recommendations, personalisation, merchandising, and performance improvements, but did not disclose Israeli-origin software, Israeli data processing, or deployment in Israel.1
-
Current third-party recruitment evidence describes Salesforce Commerce Cloud SiteGenesis as Charles Tyrwhitt’s existing customer-facing e-commerce platform and refers to a future re-platforming journey; this supports continued platform use but is not a company contract disclosure.2
-
Salesforce’s February 2019 Commerce Cloud account described an intended expansion into Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud, but does not establish that either product was ultimately implemented, remains in use, or processes data in a particular jurisdiction.3
-
A 2025 BigCommerce/Feedonomics award announcement named Charles Tyrwhitt as the winner of the Feedonomics Achievement in Growth award, supporting a commercial Feedonomics relationship by the relevant award period but not identifying data fields, hosting location, or access arrangements.4
-
RapidSpike’s currently published case study states that Charles Tyrwhitt selected its Magecart Attack Detection service in 2020 to monitor website and checkout security, key customer journeys, and third-party integrations continuously; the published case study does not disclose an end date, renewal, hosting location, or data-residency arrangement.5
-
Charles Tyrwhitt’s current UK/EEA privacy material identifies Google for analytics and search information; Epsilon and Abacus Alliance for advertising networks and data pooling; Adyen and Amazon Shipping for technical, payment, and delivery-related data; and Experian as a data broker, aggregator, or trusted retail data-pooling partner.6
-
The current U.S. privacy notice identifies Epsilon as a personalised-advertising and content partner and states that Charles Tyrwhitt provides it with names, addresses, and email addresses, while Epsilon may collect browser/device information, browsing activity, cookie IDs, IP addresses, and transaction information through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.7
-
Epsilon’s own services privacy policy describes receipt of client-supplied names, addresses, email addresses, and associated transaction information, says it pseudonymises this “Offline Data” before further processing, and identifies Epsilon as part of France-headquartered Publicis Groupe; it does not identify Charles Tyrwhitt specifically or establish Charles Tyrwhitt data processing or access in Israel.8
-
The U.S. notice identifies payment processors, delivery partners, IT-hosting, analytics, security, customer-support, and marketing/advertising providers as service-provider categories, but does not name most providers.7
-
A Capterra vendor listing states that Upp Technologies served Charles Tyrwhitt with a marketing-performance product connecting Google Ads and product-performance data; this is third-party vendor-profile evidence rather than a Charles Tyrwhitt procurement disclosure, and its current status is not established.9
-
No public evidence identified of Charles Tyrwhitt licensing, subscribing to, or integrating Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, CyberArk, NICE, Verint, Claroty, Palo Alto Networks, or another specifically identified Israeli-origin cyber-security or enterprise-software vendor.7, 6

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology
-
Charles Tyrwhitt’s U.S. notice states that it collects facial images uploaded to its AI try-on service and uses personal information for personalisation through “AI image likeness”; the notice does not identify the provider, model developer, processing location, or legal classification of that processing outside the stated U.S. privacy-law context.7
-
The same notice states that Charles Tyrwhitt does not collect or process sensitive personal information as defined by applicable U.S. state privacy laws, giving biometrics as an example; this statement does not resolve whether uploaded facial images constitute biometric information under other legal frameworks.7
-
No public evidence identified of Charles Tyrwhitt’s use of Israeli-origin facial recognition, biometric identification, gait analysis, frictionless-checkout computer vision, predictive policing, social-media monitoring, sentiment monitoring, or workforce-surveillance technology.7, 6
-
No public evidence identified that the Demandware/Javelin programme announced in 2016 was a biometric, surveillance, cyber-security, defence, or Israeli-state technology engagement.1
-
No public evidence identified that an identified Charles Tyrwhitt platform, payment, managed-service, or retail supplier deployed biometric or surveillance technology for the company.7, 5, 6
Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation
-
The 2016 Demandware Commerce Cloud announcement does not disclose data-centre locations, data residency, Israeli infrastructure, or legal-access arrangements.1
-
Charles Tyrwhitt’s U.S. privacy notice identifies Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts Limited as responsible for personal information processed through its U.S. websites, customer-service teams, retail partners, and marketing channels, and describes processing of order, account, customer-service, retail-partner, marketing, browsing, shopping-behaviour, call-recording, and online-chat data.7
-
Charles Tyrwhitt’s UK/EEA privacy notice identifies Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts Limited as UK data controller and says it collects identity, contact, financial/payment, technical, transaction, profile, usage, and marketing/communications data.6

-
The reviewed privacy material does not establish where customer, payment, employee, or franchise data are stored, routed, or legally accessible.7, 6
-
No reviewed privacy notice, vendor disclosure, subprocessor list, or transfer term identifies Israel as a location where Charles Tyrwhitt customer, payment, identity, behavioural, employee, or franchise data are stored, routed, processed, or made legally accessible.7, 6, 8
-
The notices’ acknowledgement of international transfers does not establish that Israel is excluded, because destination countries, detailed subprocessors, hosting regions, and legal-access jurisdictions remain undisclosed.7, 6
-
No public evidence identified that Charles Tyrwhitt operates, leases, or co-locates data-centre infrastructure in Israel; participates in Project Nimbus; or provides data-sovereignty, cloud, or resilience services to Israeli state or military institutions.11, 12

-
The supplied full-text review also found no Charles Tyrwhitt mention in the 2 July 2025 report of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, including its discussion of surveillance, AI, cloud infrastructure, and Project Nimbus.12
-
These are document-scoped non-mentions and do not establish database-wide, relationship-wide, or future absence.11, 12
-
The Jerusalem Post reported in September 2023 that Penguin Group exclusively sold Charles Tyrwhitt products in Israel under an exclusive franchise, with a reported first branch in Petah Tikva and further branches planned; this establishes product distribution rather than a technology, state, security, settlement, or data-system relationship.13
-
A 2025 paid Vesty advertising feature stated that Penguin Group held rights to sell Charles Tyrwhitt clothing in Israel and advertised stores in Petah Tikva and Jerusalem; the item supports the stated commercial-distribution claim only and does not establish a franchise technology stack, state customer, payment/POS arrangement, data flow, settlement nexus, or occupied-territory operation.14
-
No public evidence identified that Charles Tyrwhitt provides digital products, services, platforms, or data systems in or to Israeli settlements, or that its Israeli franchise deploys Charles Tyrwhitt-controlled technology in settlements or occupied territory.13, 14

-
The Upp listing characterises its product as AI/ML-enabled marketing technology connecting advertising and product-performance data, but does not identify Israeli state, military, security, settlement, or occupied-territory use.9
