further business partners such as customer ser-vices vendors). SWAROVSKI also collects data
when the CUSTOMER making the purchase does not correspond with the person benefitting
from the purchase or if the purchase is shipped to a different person (e.g. as a gift), based on

well as to countries in which service providers of SWAROVSKI process their data (see
ANNEX 2, as updated from time to time). If data is disclosed to countries that do not guarantee
adequate protection, SWAROVSKI will ensure adequate protection of data disclosed of
CUSTOMERS, VISITORS or PARTNERS by putting adequate contractual guarantees in
place, (e.g., on the basis of EU standard clauses), binding corporate rules, on the basis of the

The CUSTOMER, VISITOR or PARTNER can obtain a copy of the contractual guarantees
from or will be advised where to obtain such copies by the contact points named above (see
para. 1 above). SWAROVSKI reserves the right to redact such copies for applicable legal or
secrecy reasons.
5. RETENTION OF DATA
In general, SWAROVSKI retains personal data for no longer than it is necessary for the
purposes for which the personal data are processed. Notwithstanding the general princip le,
SWAROVSKI may process personal data for longer periods subject to the following rules and
obligations: SWAROVSKI retains personal data as long as SWAROVSKI (i) is obligated to do
so (by way of contract, law or other provisions) or (ii) has an overriding interest (e.g. an interest
for reasons of proof in case of claims, documentation of compliance with certain legal or other
requirements, an interest in non-personalized analysis). Deviating rules are reserved with
respect to anonymization or pseudonymization of personal data subject to applicable law.
As a rule for contract related CUSTOMER DATA and PARTNER DATA (including business
records and communication) SWAROVSKI retains personal data as long as the contractual
relation is ongoing and for ten years after the termination of the contractual relationship unless
(i) a shorter or longer statutory storage obligation is applicable on a case-by-case basis, (ii) the
retention is required for reasons of proof or another valid reason based on applicable law, or
(iii) the deletion of the data is required earlier (because e.g. the data is no longer required or
SWAROVSKI is required to delete the respective data).
As a rule for operational data containing CUSTOMER DATA, VISITOR DATA or PARTNER
DATA (e.g. protocols, logs), SWAROVSKI retains personal data for a period of 3 - 12 months.
SWAROVSKI uses cookies on its WEBSITE. Cookies are a widespread technique that
allocates an identification to the browser of the user of a WEBSITE which the user saves and
shows upon request. On the one hand, SWAROVSKI uses session cookies which are
automatically erased when the user closes the WEBSITE and which enable the server to
establish a stable connection to the user (so that the content of a shopping basket is not lost, for
example) as long as he or she browses on the WEBSITE. On the other hand, SWAROVSKI
also uses permanent cookies which are only erased after a period defined per WEBSITE.
Permanent cookies allow the saving of certain settings (e.g. language) for several sessions or
allow for an automated log-in. The user consents to the application of permanent cookies
through the use of the WEBSITE and the respective functions (e.g. language settings and
automated log-in). The user may block or delete the application of cookies on his or her browser
but this activity may impair the use of the WEBSITE.
In accordance with applicable law, SWAROVSKI may install coding in newsletters and other
marketing email which allow it to determine if the recipient has opened an email or downloaded
pictures contained in the email. However, the recipient may block this application in his/her
email application. In any case he/she consents to the application of this technology by way of
receiving newsletters or other marketing related emails.
In the event that SWAROVSKI places advertisements of third parties on the WEBSITE (e.g.
banners) or places an own ad on the website of a third party, cookies from companies
specializing in the use of such advertisement may be employed. SWAROVSKI will not disclose
personal data to such companies, i.e. they shall only place a permanent cookie with users of the
WEBSITE in order to recognize users and do so in the sole interest of SWAROVSKI. This
allows SWAROVSKI to place aimed advertisements for these individuals on external third
party websites (e.g. in connection with products for which these individuals showed an interest
in the online-shop). SWAROVSKI will not disclose personal data to the operators of external
websites.
SWAROVSKI may use Google Analytics or similar services on its WEBSITE. These
applications are third party services which allow SWAROVSKI to measure and analyze the use
of its WEBSITE. The provider of these services may be located in any country worldwide (in
the case of Google Analytics which is operated by Google Inc. it is the U.S., www.google.co m).
The service provider uses permanent cookies for these applications. SWAROVSKI will not
disclose any personal data to the service provider (who will also not save any IP addresses).
The service provider may, however, monitor the use of the WEBSITE by the user and combine
this data with data from other websites monitored by the same service provider which the user
has visited and the service provider may use these findings for its own benefits (e.g. control of
advertisement). The service provider knows the identity of the user who has registered with the
service provider. In this case the processing of personal data will be the service provider's
responsibility and data shall be processed pursuant to data protection and privacy laws and
according to the data protection policies of the service provider (for Google see
policies.google.com/privacy). The service provider will provide data on the use of the
WEBSITE to SWAROVSKI.
In addition, SWAROVSKI may use plug-ins from social media networks such as Facebook,
Twitter, Youtube, Google+, Pinterest or Instagram on its WEBSITE. In the default setting of
the WEBSITE plug-ins are deactivated; the user can thus choose when to activate them. Should
the user do so, the social media providers are able to establish a direct connection to the user
during his or her visit on the WEBSITE, which allows the provider to be aware of the user's
visit and may analyze the respective information. The subsequent processing of the personal
data will be conducted in the responsibility of the social media provider pursuant to data
protection and privacy laws and according to its data protection policies published on its website
(such as www.facebook.com/; www.twitter.com/; www.youtube.com/; www.google.co m/;
www.pinterest.com/; www.instagram.com/).
You can find more information about Cookies used by SWAROVSKI and how to manage your
Cookie settings on our WEBSITE.
Any affected individual, including any CUSTOMER, VISITOR and PARTNER, may request
information from SWAROVSKI as to whether data concerning them is being processed. In
addition, they have the right to request the correction, destruction or restriction of personal data
regarding them as well as to object to the processing of personal data. Should the processing of
personal data be based on consent, the affected individual may withdraw consent at any time.
In countries of the EU and EEA the affected individual may, in certain cases, have the right to
obtain data generated during the use of online services in a structured, common and machine -
readable format which allows for further use and transfer. Request in this respect shall be
submitted to the contact point (see para. 1 above). SWAROVSKI reserves the right to restrict
the rights of the affected individual in accordance with applicable law and e.g. not to disclose
comprehensive information or not to delete data.
In the event that SWAROVSKI makes an automated decision with respect to a certain
individual which may have a legal effect for the affected individual or seriously affect him or
her in a similar way, the affected individual shall have, in accordance with applicable law, the
right to communicate with a controller of SWAROVSKI and to request a reconsideration of the
decision or to request the prior evaluation by the controller. In this case the affected individ ua l
may no longer be able to use certain automated services. The individual will be informed thereof
subsequently or separately in advance.
Any affected individual may also raise a complaint with the competent data protection
authority, which in the case of a SWAROVSKI controller in Switzerland is the Federal Data
Protection and Information Commissioner in Switzerland (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch), the
SWAROVSKI controller in the Principality in Liechtenstein is the Data Protection O ffice
(Amtstelle Datenschutzstelle, in the Principality in Liechtenstein (https://www.llv.li/), the
SWAROVSKI controller in Austria is the Austrian Data Protection Authority in Austria
(https://www.dsb.gv.at/). In all other cases a list can be found here.
SWAROVSKI reserves the right to amend this Data Privacy Notice at any time and without
prior notice or announcement. The latest version posted on the SWAROVSKI WEBSITE shall
be applicable.
Should the Data Privacy Notice form part of an agreement with CUSTOMERS and
PARTNERS, SWAROVSKI may inform them of an update or amendments by email or in
another appropriate manner. The amendments shall be deemed to have been accepted unless an
objection is raised within 30 days of notification. In case of objection SWAROVSKI shall be
free to terminate the agreement exceptionally and with immediate effect.
The following provisions shall supplement the general provisions in Section I for certain
activities of SWAROVSKI. In the event there is any inconsistency, the following provisio ns
shall control.
1. ONLINE-SHOPS
The creditworthiness of CUSTOMERS may be evaluated automatically in online-shops in order
to offer the purchase on account based on this decision. In this case the credit rating is evaluated
on the basis of information from an external credit rating agency, which will provide
SWAROVSKI with a credit score of the respective CUSTOMER. The agency will calculate
the score based on a secret formula based on data on the payment history of the CUSTOMER,
its debt and insolvency history and possible limitations of its legal capacity. Should the score
be below a certain threshold no payment by invoice will be offered. In this event the
CUSTOMER may contact the contact person shown on the imprint of the respective website of
the online-shop if he/she is not ready to accept the decision.
Online shops of SWAROVSKI may automatically decide whether to enter into purchase
agreements. However, SWAROVSKI does not deem this an automated individual decision
(according to article 22 of the GDPR). In the event the CUSTOMER does not wish such an
automated entering into an agreement, it has the option to purchase products and services from
SWAROVSKI physical stores.
2. PARTNERS, INCLUDING WHOLESALERS, RETAILERS, DEALERS,
CUSTOMER SERVICE VENDORS ETC.
The data in connection with the SWEEPSTAKE and other PROMOTIONAL ACTIVTIES is
processed by (i) the controller of the respective local Swarovski company which sponsors,
promotes and organizes the sweepstake and as the case may be by (ii) Swarovski
Aktiengesellschaft, Dröschistrasse 15, 9495 Triesen, Liechtenstein, as a joint controller. Other
companies and affiliates of SWAROVSKI may however use the collected personal data for
their purposes according to Section I para. 3 above.
The provisions in this Section III shall specify the general provisions in Section I regarding
customer programs of SWAROVSKI.
The following provisions shall be applicable for the processing of data by SWAROVSKI in
connection with the customer loyalty program Swarovski Crystal Society (SCS).
The PERSONAL DATA in connection with the membership at SCS is processed by two joint
controllers, in particular (i) the controller of the respective local Swarovski company which
issues the membership according to the application form and which receives the membership
fees, and (ii) the controller of Swarovski Aktiengesellschaft, Dröschistrasse 15, 9495 Triesen,
Liechtenstein. Other companies and affiliates of SWAROVSKI may however use the collected
PERSONAL DATA for their purposes according to Section I para. 3 above.

the SCS Member's use of the Swarovski Group's online offerings and mailings (e.g., newsletter
open rate, click rate, visited online web pages). SWAROVSKI may also process payment
information, directly or through a third party, where necessary for the payment of SCS
Membership fees. Additionally, SWAROVSKI records the purchase history of each SCS
Member, in the form of items purchased (product designation, price) and place and time of
purchase.
The purchase history is recorded only if the SCS Membership number is communicated at the
checkout for purchases in stores offering the SCS program. Where SWAROVSKI believes that
two different SCS Memberships belong to the same individual, or where a valid request is
received, SWAROVSKI may merge them.

loyalty program according to Section I para. 2 above and as specified below for the PURPOSES
listed under that respective provision, and in particular also for the following PURPOSES:

with the benefits and other services that come with the Membership (the legal basis for this is
the Membership) and to provide the SCS Member with commercial communications (such as
newsletters, product information, services and exclusive offers of the Swarovski Group) by e-
mail, mail, mobile messaging or a phone call based on the contact information provided by the
Member (for which SWAROVSKI relies on the SCS Member's consent). In all these cases,
SWAROVSKI may personalize the information sent to the Member so that the Member
particularly receives, where possible, information which SWAROVSKI considers interesting

shops or other authorized specialists dealers, irrespective of whether the company is run by

within any country worldwide and they may use data received from SWAROVSKI only for the
purpose of operating SCS, including personalized offers to and communication with Members
on behalf of SWAROVSKI;
SCS Members and membership gift givers are entitled at any time to ask SWAROVSKI for

membership (including also for accounting purposes), to provide the Member with the benefits
and other services that come with the Membership (the legal basis for this is the Membership).
SWAROVSKI may also use the PERSONAL DATA to invite selected Members to special
events and promotions, such as the presentation of new products or discount promotions. In
addition, SWAROVSKI also uses the PERSONAL DATA to send Members birthday
congratulations.
SWAROVSKI also uses the data collected in the purchase history to grant Members
membership benefits in the form of Discount or Loyalty Gift vouchers. Based on the data saved

Policy” during be Swarovski registration) the concerned Member voluntarily grants
SWAROVSKI with his or her consent to send to him or her further information about
SWAROVSKI, product information, services and exclusive offers, being the commercia l
communications pursuant to said law, (i) for the term of two years following such a consent is

purpose of operating Be Swarovski, including personalized offers to and communication with
Members on behalf of SWAROVSKI;
