For the purpose of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (hereafter “the GDPR”), the data controller is AS.

 

For information regarding cookies and other tracking mechanisms used by us, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

 

AS is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy (together with our Terms of Use and Cookie Policy) sets out the basis on which personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it. 

  1. The Information That The Site Collects

    1. Automatically Collected Information

      Like many websites, when You access the Site, we may automatically record certain information from Your system by using different types of other common Internet technology. This automatically collected information may include, but not be limited to, usage, viewing and technical data, including Your Internet Protocol address (“IP Address”), a unique device or User ID, version of software installed, system type, the content and pages that You access on the Site, the dates and times that You visit Site, and whether you opened an email we sent.

    2. Personally Identifiable Information

      We may collect and process the following data about you:

      1. Details of transactions you carry out through our site and of the fulfilment of your orders. When ordering a product through our site, we collect your email address, first name, last name, postal address, phone number (optional) and your payment information.

      2. Information that you provide when registering a unique Customer account, including your email address.

      5. Information that you provide when you report a problem with our site.

      6. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

  2. The Way We Use This Information

    1. Automatically Collected Information
      AS uses cookies and other automatically collected information to identify prior Users, to track usage of the Site, and for analytical purposes to help us improve the Site and our business in general. We may on occasion provide this information to an affiliate or third party to assist us in providing these functions. For more detailed information, see our Cookie Policy.

    2. Personally Identifiable Information
      The personally identifiable information that Users voluntarily provide to AS may be used by AS and our Affiliates for administrative purposes; for authentication purposes; to properly operate, maintain, and provide You with the features and functionality of the Site; to customize and personalize features for You and otherwise enrich your experience when using the Site; to present You with promotions, advertisement, and opportunities We believe may be of interest to You; to enable our affiliates and to assist us in operating, maintaining, and providing our Services and products to You; to enable us to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts/subscriptions entered into with You; to notify You about changes to the Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service, Site, or Site (if we deem it appropriate); to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activities that threaten the integrity of the Site, AS Content, or AS Technology; to investigate allegations of fraud or violations of the Terms; to enforce or apply our rights under the Terms; and/or to protect the rights, property, or safety of any of our Users or others; to improve the quality and design of the Site and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing your preferences and trends.

    3. Alternative Use of Personally Identifiable Information
      Although consent for the use or disclosure of personally identifiable information will usually be obtained at the time of collection, there may be occasions where consent is sought after the personally identifiable information has been collected (but before use). If AS intends to use personally identifiable information for a purpose other than what was identified at the time the personally identifiable information was collected, then we will obtain Your prior consent to that additional use unless it is for a situation where consent can be implied through Your actions with us.

  3. Security of Information

    The security, integrity and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. AS maintains our systems in accordance with commercially reasonable industry standards to preserve the integrity and security of Your personally identifiable information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information You Transmit through the Site, and You do so at Your own risk. Once we receive Your transmission of information, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems including contractual and/or other safeguards to ensure that affiliates, related companies or third party service providers (“Third Parties”) provide a comparable level of protection for your personally identifiable information. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. “Perfect security" does not exist on the Internet, and You use the Site at Your own risk. If You have reason to believe that Your information stored with us is no longer secure, you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us as set out on our Site.

AS has safeguards to protect personally identifiable information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification, regardless of the format in which the information is held.  Personally identifiable information will be safeguarded by physical measures (locking filing cabinets, restricting access to offices), organizational measures (employee training, limiting access on a necessity basis) and technological measures (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology passwords, firewalls and encryption).  Some records, including older records, may be stored at an offsite storage facility, in either paper or electronic format. Where records are stored with off-site storage facilities, AS uses contractual or other means to ensure that your privacy rights are protected. As a result, personally identifiable information may be subject to legal requirements of foreign countries as applicable, such as the requirement to disclose personally identifiable information to foreign governments.

 

From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods.  Please be aware though that despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

  1. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention

AS always uses contractual or other safeguards to ensure protection of personally identifiable information and such information will be used and disclosed only for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law, except with the consent of the individual.  

Access to personally identifiable information is limited to AS employees with a business need to know and Third Parties who require access for business purposes.  From time to time, AS will disclose personally identifiable information to others, including to affiliated entities or unrelated companies that carry out certain responsibilities on behalf of AS.  AS takes necessary steps to ensure that the affiliated entities or unrelated companies do not use or disclose personally identifiable information for any purpose other than the specific purpose requested.

Please note that once we share your personally identifiable information with a Third Party, the information received by the Third Party becomes subject to the Third Party’s privacy practices.

We will only retain personal data held about you as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which we have initially collected it, unless otherwise required by law. Although in some instances difficult to provide an exact timeframe in advance, please find below the criteria used to determine the data retention period:

  1. Individual Access

Access to personally identifiable information, including how we use and disclose the personally identifiable information may be obtained on written request. An individual can challenge the accuracy and completeness of their personally identifiable information and have it amended as appropriate.  An individual’s written request for access to personally identifiable information will be answered within a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost. We will assist any individual who informs us that they need assistance in preparing a written request and we may require an individual to provide sufficient information to permit us to provide an account of the existence, use and disclosure of personally identifiable information.  Any such identifying information shall be used only for this purpose.

If an individual successfully establishes the inaccuracy or incompleteness of personally identifiable information such personally identifiable information will be amended to ensure that it is accurate.  If a challenge to the accuracy of personally identifiable information is not resolved to the satisfaction of the individual, we will document the content of the challenge. The amended personally identifiable information or the existence of the unresolved challenge, as the case may be, may be transmitted to affiliated entities or unrelated companies having access to the information in question.

Requests for access to personally identifiable information we hold about an individual may be refused if permitted or required by law.  In such a case, the reasons for denying access will be provided to the individual upon request which reasons may include: information that contains references to other individuals or contains confidential commercial information which cannot be redacted from the file; information collected in the course of investigating a breach of an agreement or in the course of a formal dispute resolution process; and information that is subject to solicitor-client privilege.
