PRIVACY, COOKIES & IMPRINT

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. This policy explains which data we process when you visit this website, why we do so, and what rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Visiting this website

When you visit the website, our hosting provider automatically records technical data in server log files: your IP address, the date and time of access, the pages viewed, your browser and operating system, and the referring website. We need this data to deliver the website and keep it secure. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted after a short period, unless they are needed to investigate a security incident.

The website is hosted by Netlify, Inc., San Francisco, USA, which processes this data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. Netlify is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

3. Age confirmation

When you confirm that you are of legal drinking age, your confirmation is stored in your browser so that you are not asked again on every visit. This does not identify you personally. Details are given in the cookie policy below.

4. Contacting us

If you write to us by email, we process your email address, your name and the content of your message in order to answer you. The legal basis is the performance of pre-contractual measures or our legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). We delete your data once your enquiry has been dealt with, unless statutory retention periods apply.

5. Website analytics

Only if you give your consent, we use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are viewed most often. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future through the cookie settings. IP addresses are not stored in Google Analytics 4. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA, which is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Analytics data is deleted after 14 months.

6. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send it to you. The newsletter is sent through beehiiv (beehiiv Inc., USA), which stores your address and processes it on our behalf. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). After signing up you receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription (double opt-in). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every newsletter, after which we delete your address. Transfers to the USA are covered by section 9.

The sign-up form is provided by beehiiv. It is only loaded once you have accepted cookies or click to show it; when it loads, your IP address is transmitted to beehiiv.

7. Fonts

The fonts used on this website are hosted on our own server. No connection to third-party font providers is made when you visit the website.

8. Links to other websites

The website contains links to our online boutique at shop.boll-cie.com, to Instagram and to our distributors. We do not embed social media plug-ins; data is only transmitted to these services when you follow a link. Their own privacy policies then apply.

9. Recipients and transfers

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf, such as our hosting provider. Where data is transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, we ensure an adequate level of protection, for example through the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Your rights

You have the right to access your personal data and to have it rectified, erased or restricted, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise these rights, write to info@boll-cie.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In France, this is the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), www.cnil.fr.

We may update this policy when our website or the law changes. The version published here applies.
