NESPRESSO PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION POLICY
Date of entry into force: 25/05/2018
Date of last update: 27/01/2023
Nespresso respects your right to privacy and put in place all the technical and organisational measures required to guarantee the security of the personal data you send us before the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
This personal data protection policy (“the Policy”) explains how your personal data is collected, used and sent to third parties by the different Nespresso companies (“Nespresso”, “us”). It also describes how you can access your personal data, update it and make certain choices regarding its use.
It covers our online and offline data collection activities, including the personal data we collect via our different channels such as our websites, apps, third party social media, our Customer Relations Centres, our stores, points of sale and events. You should be aware that the personal data we collect through one channel (for example, this website) can in some cases be grouped with personal data collected through other channels (e.g. an offline event organised by Nespresso). Likewise, we may aggregate the personal data originally collected by different Nespresso entities. Refer to Question No.8 – « Q“What are your rights and how can you exercise them?” »to understand the procedure to follow if you wish to object.
If any personal data is missing at the time of collection (we will inform you where applicable, for example by clear messages on our registration forms), we may not be able to provide our products and/or services to you.
This Policy provides answers to the following questions:
- In which cases may Nespresso collect your personal data?
- What personal data do we collect and how?
- What is Nespresso's policy regarding children’s personal data?
- How do we use your personal data?
- Does Nespresso disclose your personal data and why?

In addition to the legal entities in the Nespresso/Nestlé group referred to in Question No. 12 - “Who are the Data Controllers and how can you contact them ? », we may share your personal data with various groups of third-party companies:
Service providers : : external companies we use to help us carry out our activities (order fulfilment, payment processing, fraud detection, identity verification, website operation, market research, support services, advertising management, website development, data analysis, Customer Relations Centre, etc.). These service providers, and some members of their staff, are authorised to use your personal data on our behalf exclusively for the specific tasks that have been requested, according to our instructions, and are required to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal data. Where the law requires, you can obtain a list of the service providers processing your personal data (see Question No. 12 - « Who are the Data Controllers and how can you contact them ? »).
Credit reporting/debt collection agencies : to the extent permitted by the law, credit reporting agencies and debt collectors are external companies that we use for credit checks (in particular for orders with an invoice) or to collect outstanding invoices.
SThird party companies using personal data for their own marketing purposes : with the exception of cases where you have given your consent, we do not sell your personal data to third party companies for their own marketing purposes. Where applicable, you will be informed of the identity of these third-party companies when we request your consent. For example, we may share with Facebook Ireland Limited ("Facebook") certain data about your actions on our websites, such as your visits, interactions with our websites, use of Facebook Connect and information collected using cookies or similar technologies, including the Facebook pixel. This enables us to assess the effectiveness of our advertising, improve our marketing practices and help us deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and those who share your interests (including on social media such as Facebook). We are the joint data controller, together with Facebook. We have entered into a joint processing agreement under which we are obliged to provide you with the information set out in this policy and more specifically in this paragraph. You should contact Facebook directly if you wish to exercise your data protection rights for this social media network. Further information, including how Facebook lets you exercise your rights and then processes your information as an independent data controller, can be found in Facebook's data policy, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

6. How long do we keep your personal data for?
Your personal data is kept by Nespresso only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. We use the following criteria to determine how long we keep your personal data:
-
a. Nespresso will keep your personal data in a form that enables you to be identified for the duration of your participation in one or more of our loyalty programmes, or for the duration of your membership of one of our online services. Your data may then be stored and processed for 3 years following your last contact with us, so that we can send you sales or marketing information.

(see Question No. 6 –« How long do we keep your personal data for ? »).
Where possible, our websites include a dedicated function allowing you to view and change the personal data you have provided to us.
