Information You Provide to L’EAU SWISS

We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us.  We may use any information you provide to us for our business purposes. L’EAU SWISS may collect Personal Information, which may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of our features. Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us make our communications with you more interesting and improve our services.  If you provide us your phone number, you may also receive messages that we send you via SMS as part of the normal business operation of your use of the Platform. If you do not want to receive communications from us, please indicate your preference by emailing info@leauswiss.com.

Information Collected Automatically

Whenever you interact with our Platform, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” information, web beacons, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access our Platform, and the page or feature you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Platform are visited and by how many people.  You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. A “web beacon” is an object that is embedded in a page or email and is usually invisible to the user but allows checking whether a user has viewed the page or email.

We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns.  We may also use it to improve the Platform as such data can provide us with how often users use a particular feature of the Platform, and L’EAU SWISS can use that knowledge to make the Platform interesting to as many users as possible.

If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you.  This Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and L’EAU SWISS shall not be responsible for third parties’ privacy policies and practices. L’EAU SWISS does not access or control these third-party cookies or web beacons; however, we may have access to data generated from their use, such as when we view analytics reports provided by such third-party tools and services. Please note that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Platform, and those third parties may not honor the “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device.

Collection of Location Information

When you use the Platform, we collect precise location data that tracks your location when using the Platform on your device. We may deliver information or content specific to your location to you via the Platform as a result of the location data we collect. If you disable the collection of geolocation information, the Platform may not function as intended.  Additionally, the opt-out mechanism on some operating systems may not be persistent, which will require you to opt-out of such collection each time you access the Platform through your device.

Transaction Information

We collect transaction details and information related to your use of the Platform, including the types of products and services you requested, any memberships subscribed for, and other related transaction details and information.

Device Information

We may collect information about the devices you use to access our Platform, including any related Usage Data.

Log Information

When you interact with our Platform, we collect server logs, which may include Usage Data and information like device IP address, access dates and times, application features or pages viewed, application crashes and other system activity, browser type, and the third-party site or service you were using before interacting with our Platform. 

L’EAU SWISS’s E-mail Announcements and Newsletters

L’EAU SWISS uses e-mail to send announcements regarding new products, services, and/or promotions, and informational newsletters. Announcements via email are on an opt-in basis only. By posting material on any of our interactive areas, you are opting in to receiving these e-mail announcements. You can choose to unsubscribe from L’EAU SWISS’s e-mail at any time by sending an email toinfo@leauswiss.com or by following the detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each e-mail.

Information Collected from Third-Party Websites and Do Not Track Policy

Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Platform.  Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Platform and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Policy.  Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites.  Our Platform does not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Platform and after you leave our Platform.

If you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from L’EAU SWISS, that website will submit to us your email address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to participate in a third-party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook or Twitter applications or a similar application or feature on a third-party website) through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including usage information and Personal Information such as lists of your friends, “likes”, comments you have shared, groups and location. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third-party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their “connections” or information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections'” web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third-party website or interactive service. We may supplement the information we collect about you through the Platform with such information from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and/or to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

Google Adsense

Some of the ads may be served by Google. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to our Platform and other sites/platforms on the Internet. DART uses “non personally identifiable information” and does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, etc. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.

Additionally, L’EAU SWISS and its partners and affiliates may contact you at any telephone number(s) you provide, including your wireless number, in connection with your use of the Platform. By providing your contact information, you consent to receive communications (including communications containing an artificial voice or prerecorded message or made using an automatic telephone dialing system) from us, our affiliates, and partners even if that number is registered on a corporate, state, or national do-not-call registry.

PERSONAL INFORMATION RECEIVED

L’EAU SWISS does not rent or sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone, provided certain Personal Information may be transferred in connection with business transfers, as described below. We may share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this section:

Information that’s been de-identified.  We may de-identify your Personal Information so that you are not identified as an individual and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners (or allow partners to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Platform, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we never disclose aggregate usage or de-identified information to a partner (or allow a partner to collect such information) in a manner that would identify you as an individual person.

Affiliated Businesses: In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites L’EAU SWISS is affiliated with may sell or provide products or services to you through or in connection with the Platform (either alone or jointly with us).  You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. We have no control over the policies and practices of third-party websites or businesses as to privacy or anything else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to an affiliated website or business, please review all such business’ or websites’ policies.

Agents: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you; for example, we may use a payment processing company, such as Stripe, Paypal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, to receive and process your credit card transactions for us. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. Note that an “agent” may also be considered a “partner” in certain circumstances and would be subject to the terms of the “Information that’s been de-identified” section in that regard.

Information Contained in User Comments: Any information you include in a user comment submitted on the Platform, including any personally identifiable information, will not be treated as confidential and may be publicly disclosed.

Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

 

Your Agreement To Have Your Personal Information Shared: While on our Platform, you may have the opportunity to opt-in to receive information and/or marketing offers from someone else or to otherwise consent to the sharing of your information with a third party, including social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. If you agree to have your Personal Information shared, your Personal Information will be disclosed to the third party and the Personal Information you disclose will be subject to the privacy policy and business practices of that third party.

Protection of L’EAU SWISS and Others: We may use or disclose personally identifying information if we have a good-faith belief that the disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) to satisfy applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, (b) to enforce agreements we have with you, (c) to address fraud or security issues, or (d) to protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of the users, or our employees.
