HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION USING TECHNOLOGIES AND FROM THIRD PARTIES

We may use cookies to recognize you when you return to the Sites in order to provide you with a better user experience. Technologies like cookies, pixel tags, device or other identifiers and local storage are used to deliver, secure, and understand products, services, and ads, on and off social media platforms.  They also are used to gather information for remarketing to similar audiences on our Sites. We also allow our affiliates and third-party vendors to use cookies on our Sites; some of these parties may use cookies in ways that we do not. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of the Sites. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log onto our Sites.

  • Web Beacons. Pages of the Sites and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Groupe Rossignol, for example, to count users who have visited those pages [or opened an email] and for other related website statistics (i.e., recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

  • Flash Cookies. Certain features of our Sites use local stored objects (or Flash Cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Sites. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.

  • Behavioral Tracking. We also may use these technologies to collect information your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services. Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” (“DNT”) signals to the Sites with which you communicate. We currently do not change our tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web browser. Our third party partners, such as web analytics companies and third party ad networks, may collect information about you and your online activities over time and across our Sites and Services. These third parties may not change their tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web browser and do not obligate these parties to honor DNT settings. We utilize Google Analytics for our web analytics and you can opt out of your usage data being included in our Google Analytics reports by visiting Google’s ad settings or by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Because of this, third-party vendors, including Google and Microsoft, show our ads on sites across the internet. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

 
DO WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES? 

We take reasonable precautions to be sure that nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates, to whom we disclose your personally identifiable information are aware of this Privacy Policy and will treat the information in a similarly responsible manner. Our contracts and written agreements with nonaffiliated third parties that receive information from us about you prohibit those parties from transferring the information other than to provide the Services that you obtain from us.

 

Over the previous 12 months, we have shared the following categories of personal information with third parties: Personal Information and Identifiers, Commercial Information, Network Information, Geolocation Information, Employment Information, and Profile Information.

 

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties except to provide you with information or services you request, deliver our Services that include your personal information, or under certain circumstances as described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • Your Consent. We may share personal data with your consent.

  • Disclosure For Legal Reasons. We may release personal data to third parties: (1) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; or (2) in special cases, such as a physical threat to you or others, a threat to homeland security, a threat to our system or network, or cases in which we believe it is reasonably necessary to investigate or prevent harm, fraud, abuse, or illegal conduct. We may also disclose personal data where needed to affect the sale or transfer of business assets, to enforce our rights, protect our property, or protect the rights, property or safety of others, or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions.

  • Agents & Contractors. Our contractors sometimes have access to your personal data in the course of assisting in the operation of our business and providing Services to you and/or to deliver the products you purchase from us at the postal address you provided us with. These contractors include vendors, carriers and suppliers that provide us with technology, services (for instance, payment checkout), and/or content for the hosting, operation and maintenance of the Sites and the Services. Some of these relationships may be with companies that co-brand portions of the sits and services, or that provide services to you on our behalf. Co-branded sites may have their own privacy policies posted on their sites. If you visit a co-branded site, please read the privacy policy that is posted on that site. Access to your personal information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the contractor to perform its limited function. Contractors have an obligation under their contracts with us to keep your information confidential and to comply with our privacy and security policies.

  • Links To Other Sites. The Sites may contain links to other websites and resources located on servers maintained by third parties. These links are provided for your convenience and information only and, as such, you access them at your own risk.  When you click on one of those links, we will not provide any personal information about you, but may let the site know that you came from our Sites. We do not control the privacy practices and policies of other sites. Please read their privacy policies in order to understand what information they collect about you and how they use it.

  • Aggregated, Non-Personal Information. We may share aggregated, non-personal information about you with third parties. This is information that is combined with the non-personal information of other users and does not allow you to be identified or contacted. Depending on the circumstances, we may or may not charge third parties for this aggregated information. We also may not limit the third parties' use of the aggregated information.

  • Changes In Our Corporate Structure. If all or part of Groupe Rossignol is merged, acquired or otherwise transferred to another entity, the personal data you have provided to us may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will take steps to ensure that any personal data that is transferred will not be used or shared in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, as it may be amended.

 

DOES GROUPE ROSSIGNOL SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

No. Although Groupe Rossignol shares data with third parties as outlined in this Privacy Policy, Groupe Rossignol does not sell any of your personal information to any third party.

 

HOW AND WHERE DO WE PROCESS AND STORE DATA?

Methods of Processing. The data processing is carried out in accordance with our privacy procedures and policies and using computers and/or related software and IT tools. In some cases, the data may be accessible to certain types of (i) internal parties in charge or involved with the operation of our Sites and Services (i.e., administration, legal, sales and marketing, etc.) or (ii) external parties who assist us in providing, operating, and maintaining our Sites and Services, (i.e., third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, communications agencies, etc.). Still, we notify both internal and external parties of this Privacy Policy and require that internal parties (through employment agreements and related employment policies) and external parties (through written agreements) keep and maintain the data in accordance with the safeguards described in this Privacy Policy and related policies and procedures.

 

Third Party Processing. All third party processing is based on written agreements that comply with the requirements of applicable law, and such processing is conducted for a variety of purposes, including to:

  • ensure the delivery service for your purchases / to ensure the remittance of your possible gains on the occasion of the contests;

  • authenticate/receive payments and order processing where applicable;

  • host your data in the context of our mobile applications/online services by specialized providers;

  • host and conduct marketing research, subject to obtaining your prior consent; and

  • carry out the contract signed between you, us and a possible partner if necessary.

 

HOW DO WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA?

Groupe Rossignol protects data using administrative, technical, and physical safeguards.  When we use third-party service providers, we ask those providers to implement similar safeguards. However, we cannot guaranty that your information is completely secure either within Groupe Rossignol or on the systems of third party service providers.

 

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We retain personal data we collect from you when we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (i.e., to provide you with the Services you have requested or to comply with applicable legal requirements). When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will physically destroy, delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
