April 16 (Reuters) - ‌Zara ​owner ​Inditex said it had identified ‌unauthorised access to databases ⁠hosted by a third ‌party containing information ‌on transactions with customers.

The databases do not ​contain customer data, addresses, passwords, ⁠or bank card details, Inditex said ​in a statement late on Wednesday, adding ​that it ‌immediately applied security protocols and started ⁠notifying relevant authorities.

The breach "stems from a security ⁠incident that affected a ​former technology provider and has impacted several companies operating ‌internationally", the company said. A spokesperson ‌declined to ⁠give any ‌further information.
