    Corby uses tracking technologies such as cookies, IP Addresses or Log files. Tracking technologies help us tailor our Digital Media to your personal needs.

    • We use cookies to better understand how visitors use our Digital Media and the tools and services offered, and improve their use and functionality. Subject to your consent where required by applicable law, our Digital Media use cookies and similar technologies (“cookies“).

    • An IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet. We may keep track of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to (among other things): (i) troubleshoot technical concerns, (ii) maintain website safety and security, (iii) restrict access to our Digital Media to comply with applicable law or contractual restrictions, and, (iv) better understand how our Digital Media is used.
    • We (or a third party on our behalf) may collect information in the form of log files that record activity on the Digital Media and gather statistics about users’ browsing habits. These entries are generated anonymously, and help us gather (among other things) (i) a user’s browser type and operating system, (ii) information about a user’s session (such as the URL they came from, the date and time they visited our Digital Media, and which pages they’ve viewed on our Digital Media and for how long), and, (iii) other similar navigational or click-stream data. We also use information captured in log file for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve and customize the online services we provide you. Log files are used internally only, and are not associated with any particular user.
    • We (or a third party on our behalf) may collect your precise or general location from your device when you use a mobile application (including a mobile browser). We only collect this location information when you have enabled location services on your device.

    3. For what purpose do we use your Personal Data and based on which legal grounds?

    We collect and use your Personal Data to:

    • Respond to your request of service or for the performance of a contract
      • When you register or sign-up in our Digital Media (mobile app, websites, social media, etc.) or in person, your Personal Data is used to provide you with the relevant features and services you subscribe to, and to offer you the benefits and privileges that typically come along with your registration (e.g. receiving the communications you select at the time of registration, being invited to events, participating in a sweepstake, etc.). If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving promotional messages, the easiest way is using the preference manager at the footer of each promotional message we send. You can also contact our privacy officer using the contact information below.
    • When you purchase products on our websites: we use your Personal Data to manage your order and deliver your products.
    • Send you transactional or administrative communications: (e.g. confirmation emails when you sign up for, or unsubscribe from, a specific registration or activity), as well as certain service-related announcements (e.g., notices about updates to our privacy notices, discontinued features or programs on our Digital Media, changes to our online services or technical support policies, or other related changes), or respond to your inquiries or complaints.
    • Allow us to send you marketing information when you consent:
      • In addition to the purpose for which you submitted your Personal Data, you may also be given the option (through a check box or otherwise) to have your Personal Data used for an activity or service different from the primary activity or service that you are requesting. For example, if you are signing up for a contest or other promotion, you may also be invited to sign up for newsletters or alerts from our Digital Media hosting the promotion or from other websites or through other means. If you choose to receive these additional services, we will use your Personal Data to provide them to you.
      • When you use the “Send to a friend” feature: this Personal Data is used only once to send the communication and is not further retained by us, as appropriate according to local law. Before using a feature, please ensure you have obtained your friend’s consent to send the communication for this limited purpose.
      • When you use a QR Code or equivalent feature displayed on Corby products: we use your Personal Data to send you more information on the products where the QR code or equivalent feature is displayed or other products.
    • Because it is also Corby’s legitimate interest to better serve you:
      • We may occasionally combine, update, or otherwise enhance the Personal Data we collect directly with data we receive from outside records or third parties, subject to your consent when required for such third parties to disclose such Personal Data to us. For instance, we may combine purely demographic or survey information (e.g. age, gender, household information, and other interests, etc.) not linked to any Personal Data about you with Personal Data collected though our offers (such as during account registration).
      • We may use the combined above-mentioned information and/or demographic information for our internal marketing and demographic studies and to constantly improve, personalize, and customize the products and services we provide you to better meet your needs. Some of the tools we use may involve automated individual decision-making subject to applicable law.
      • Feedback, questions, or comments through our “Contact Us” form and our “Tell Us” compliance reporting system: if you contact us via an online contact form or hotline, your Personal Data is used to respond to your inquiry or comment and for us to address your feedback, questions or comments, such as by improving or services or products or addressing compliance issues. We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data remains accurate and up-to-date and avoid duplication in our database, by verifying each of your interactions with us and/or one of our affiliates to ensure your Personal Data is still accurate or needs to be completed or updated with the additional information you will have provided.
      • We may monitor your browsing activities on our Digital Media to better understand your preferences and center of interests and adapt our marketing communications to your interests, unless you object in the conditions set forth in Article 9 of this Privacy Policy.

    Corby may process Personal Data involving automated decision making, including for the performance of a contract (e.g. avoid fraudulent payment) or, subject to your consent, to better serve your needs in accordance with your preferences.

    Please note that the automated tools used are regularly checked to ensure that the Personal Data is processed fairly. Specific measures such as data minimization are implemented when creating profiles. You are invited to express your point of view through the right of access described in Section 9 below. You can also object the result of the automated decision by sending an email to the contact details in Section 12 below.

    4. What happens if you do not wish to provide your Personal Data?

    If you choose not to submit any Personal Data when requested, you may not be able to participate in certain activities and personalized features for which such Personal Data may be necessary, or the Digital Media services and special offers to you may be limited as is necessary. For example, if you refuse to share your email address, you will not be able to receive our newsletters or otherwise register on our Digital Media for which such information is required. However, to simply browse our Digital Media and learn more about Corby and our products, you do not need to give us any Personal Data. In any event, we will always inform you of the Personal Data that is necessary in order to benefit from a service.

    5. To whom do we disclose your Personal Data and why?

    • Within Corby

    Corby may share for the purposes mentioned in Section 3 your Personal Data within Corby, including its affiliates worldwide.

    • With third parties

    Corby may also share your Personal Data with third parties, but only in the following circumstances:

    • For marketing purposes if you gave us your consent.
    • For support purposes: We may use service providers, agents or contractors to provide support for the internal operations of our Digital Media and to assist us with administering them or the various functions, programs and promotions available on it. This includes payment processors who may receive your Personal Data, including credit card information, when you make a purchase from us. We take steps so that any such third party is required to provide comparable levels of security for your Personal Data as Corby and, where required, is bound to keep your Personal Data private, secure and to process it only on the specific instructions of Corby.
    • For joint and co-sponsored programs and promotional purposes: When we run a joint or co-sponsored program or promotion on our Digital Media or in person with another company, organization, or other third party; and, as part of this event, collect and process Personal Data, we may share your Personal Data with our partner or sponsor, subject to your consent when required. If your Personal Data is being collected by (or is shared with) anyone other than Corby as part of such promotion, we will let you know this at the time your Personal Data is collected.
    • For litigation and safety purposes: We may also disclose your Personal Data if we are required to do so by law, or if in our good faith judgment, such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal processes, to respond to any claims, or to protect the safety or rights of Corby, its customers, or the public.
    • In considering or entering into a merger or acquisition of all or part of Corby by another company, or in the event that Corby were to sell or dispose of all or a part of the Corby business (or consider doing so), the acquirer would have access to the information maintained by that Corby business, which could include Personal Data, subject to applicable law. Similarly, Personal Data may be transferred as part of a corporate financing, reorganization, insolvency proceeding, or other similar event, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable law.

    6. Is your Personal Data sent to recipients located in other countries and why?

    Corby is a global company and your Personal Data may be transferred across international borders. It may be transferred to countries that have a different level of data protection laws than the one existing in the country from where you submitted your Personal Data. Your Personal Data may also be transferred between different companies of Corby located in different countries. Corby takes appropriate measures to maintain security of the Personal Data both during transit and at the receiving location by implementing contractual clauses in accordance with applicable law. There is a risk Corby will be compelled to provide your Personal Data for foreign governments and law enforcement authorities.

    Our main service providers for the operation of our Digital Media are based in the United States. The transfer of Personal Data to these service providers are implemented in accordance with applicable laws and rely on standard contractual clauses as set out by the European Commission or on the Privacy Shield. Typically, such service providers are also bound by a contract that ensures an appropriate standard of privacy protection and requires (amongst other provisions) that they act only on Corby instructions and implements all technical measures necessary on an ongoing basis to keep your Personal Data secure.

    7. How long do we keep your Personal Data?

    We will store Personal Data in our databases as long as your account is active, for the duration of the contract with you or as needed to provide you the services you requested, or to answer queries, resolve problems, or provide improved and new services. We may also retain your Personal Data in accordance with our internal retention procedure as necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, or as otherwise permitted under applicable law.

    8. How do we secure your Personal Data?

    Corby takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your Personal Data collected from this website and/or our applications, including sensitive Personal Data. These efforts include but are not necessarily limited to: (i) storing your Personal Data in secure operating environments that are not available to the public and that are only accessible to authorized Corby employees, and our agents and contractors; and, (ii) verifying the identities of registered users before they can access the Personal Data we maintain about them. Please be aware though that, despite these efforts, no security measures are perfect and no systems are impenetrable. You should understand that any time you share Personal Data, it could be accessed by a third party, such as hackers. As such, you should take care to ensure that you have considered this possibility when sharing Personal Data.

    • If your Personal Data has been processed on the basis of your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
    • You can request to access your Personal Data.

We will take reasonable steps to inform the other entities of Corby of such erasure.
    • You can request the restriction of the processing of your Personal Data (i) in the event the accuracy of your Personal Data is contested to allow Corby to check such accuracy, (ii) if you wish to restrict your Personal Data rather than deleting it despite the fact that the processing is unlawful, (iii) if you wish Corby to keep your Personal Data because you need it for your defense in the context of legal claims (iv) if you have objected to the processing but Corby conducts verification to check whether it has legitimate grounds for such processing which may override your own rights (v) if the data processing is based on the legitimate interest of Corby.
    • You can request the portability of the Personal Data you provided to us, in particular if the Personal Data processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract.

    10. How we treat children’s Personal Data?

    Our Digital Media and other products and services are not intended for children under the legal drinking age (“Minor”), so we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from Minors.
