through the websites, mobile applications, and other services and products that collect or process data
and display this statement belonging to Kikoy Promotions LLP and its family of entities. This statement
does not apply to such entities’ websites, mobile applications, and other services and products that do
not display or include a link to this privacy statement or that have their own privacy statement. This
privacy statement applies to your personal information, which is any information or combination of
information that could reasonably be used to identify you.
We adapt our privacy practices to country data protection laws and cooperate with
country data protection authorities if they believe a privacy problem has occurred.
What information do we collect and process?
We may collect or process various information that you provide to us, including
personal contact details, and information related to your purchases, employment or demographic.
- Personal contact details include information such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, or e-mail
addresses such as when you provide them to us during online registration or when doing business with
us or providing services to us; some websites allow you to establish a user name and password to set
up an account.
- Purchase-related information includes data regarding purchases you make on our websites, including
payment card information and shipping details.
- Employment-related information includes your indicated job preferences, work history and information
provided on applications submitted to us online.
- Demographic information includes data such as age, gender, hobby or activity information, taste or
other preference information, and the like.
We may collect information from other sources, including contact lists, and
demographic information from third parties and other sources. This data may be combined with other
information that we collect and use for the purposes described in this privacy statement.
We also collect certain types of information automatically:
- Your Internet Protocol (IP) address or device identifier, your device’s operating system, browser
type, websites visited before or after you visit our website, pages viewed and activities at our
website, as well as your interaction with advertisements.
- Third-party service and advertising partners may also collect information automatically.
This information is collected directly from you, as well as through third parties that
you have authorized to provide such personal information, and were permitted by local law, through
publicly available sources such as social media.
Why do we collect and how do we use your information?
We may use your information for a variety of purposes including: to provide products
or services that you request; to administer promotions (sweepstakes, contests and offers); to
communicate with you; to deliver advertising; to improve our websites, products and services; and for
other legitimate business purposes explained further as follows:
- Providing the features, products and services you request: We may use the information we collect
about you to fulfil your requests for, and enable your use of, our features, products and services.
- Registration, contests and promotions: We may use your information to enter you in contests, to
notify you of results and to register you for certain features, products and services in line with
your chosen marketing preferences.
- To communicate with you and provide you with information: We may use your information to communicate
with you, to respond to your questions or comments, to provide you with updates and news and to
alert you when job vacancies that fit your profile arise (in the event that you submit your resume).
We also may use your information to provide you with personalized content, information, and to send
you brochures, coupons, samples, offers and other information on our products or our family of
entities. We ask visitors providing e-mail addresses to indicate if they would like further
information or updates from us or our website and only those who request it will receive follow-up
communications from us. We may also ask if you would like to receive information about other
products available from members of our family of entities. We also offer visitors an “opt-out”
option at any time they wish to cease receiving e-mails or other information from us.
- When we perform our obligations under a contract with you – We may use your information when you
work for us either as an employee or a service provider or apply for a job with us as necessary in
connection with your contract of employment or services agreement. If you are a consumer or a user
of our services we will use your personal information to carry out our obligations under the
contract that we have with you.
- To deliver to you relevant advertising: We may purchase and use opt-in e-mail lists to contact
potential customers who we believe may be interested in products or services from the Kikoy
Promotions LLP family of entities. We will honor opt-out requests and ask those providing lists to
give us assurances that e-mail contact information is provided only for those consumers who have
expressed a desire to receive offers and information by e-mail. We also may use demographic and
preference information to allow advertising related to Kikoy Promotions LLP products and services to
be targeted to the users for whom they are most pertinent. This is designed so that users will see
advertising that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers can display their ads to people
who are most likely to be receptive.
- To provide you with other offers: Sometimes our brands will make offers, coupons and information,
including catalogues, available to you through the mail. For example, when customers place an online
order in our catalogue stores or sign up for one of our catalogues online, we may add them to the
list to receive that catalogue. We may also use lists we have received from third parties or public
sources to send you this information, and, as is routinely done in the catalogue business, may
exchange names and addresses (but not e-mail addresses absent consent) of our catalogue customers
with other catalogue companies who may also contact you by mail. You may “opt-out” of receiving
offline communications from our brands at any time.
- To improve our websites, features, products and services: We may use the information that we collect
to improve the Kikoy Promotions LLP family of product offerings, services, as well as our websites
and features.
- For certain automated decision-making activities: We may use the information we collect for serving
online advertising, and/or generating a personality profile for you. Details of the personal
information we collect, how it is used, and how you may opt out of any automated decision-making is
explained below.
How do we share and disclose your information?
We may share or disclose your information:
- With Kikoy Promotions LLP and the Kikoy Promotions LLP family of entities.
- With vendors, partners or agents. For example, we may share your information with companies we have
hired to provide services on our behalf. When we share information with these other companies to
provide services for us, they are not allowed to use it for any other purpose and must keep it
confidential unless you otherwise consent (Information may be shared with Mars Inc. and its
affiliates).
- Where your information may be transferred along with other business assets.
We also may share or disclose personal information, including the content of your
communications:
- To comply with the law or respond to legal process or lawful requests, including from law
enforcement and government agencies.
- To conduct investigations of consumer complaints or possible breaches of law, to protect the
integrity of the website, to fulfill your requests, or to cooperate in any legal investigation.
- To protect the rights or property of the Kikoy Promotions LLP family of entities or our customers,
including enforcing the terms governing your use of the services.
- To act on a good faith belief that access or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of our
associates, customers or the public.
Please note that our websites may include links to third-party websites whose privacy
practices may differ from our privacy practices. If you submit personal information to any of those
websites, your information is governed by the privacy policies on those websites. We encourage you to
review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
What about children’s privacy?
Our websites are primarily designed and intended for adults and teens (age 13 and
older) and not directed to children under age 13. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy
Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect or store any personal information about children
under age 13, and our entity websites are not designed to collect personal information from children
under age 13. In relation to teenagers under age 16, we will obtain parental consent prior to allowing
them to submit their personal information to Kikoy Promotions LLP through our websites, post material or
upload photographs or information. We will implement measures to verify parental consent, taking into
consideration available technology. We may ask visitors to enter a birth date to restrict those who are
underage from accessing certain websites, areas, or features. Where local law imposes higher age
thresholds, we will comply with such requirement.
What are our policies regarding online interest-based advertising?
Advertisements that we place online using interest-based data are expected to be
delivered with the Advertising Option Icon to help consumers understand how their data is being
collected and used and to provide choices for consumers who want more control.
By clicking on the Icon when it appears, you can review information (and follow
information) regarding online interest-based advertisements, including who is collecting and using your
online data, how you can opt-out from receiving such advertisements, and more.
How do we serve advertisements through online interest-based advertising?
At times we display ads both on our network of owned and operated websites and on the
websites of third parties. When you visit one of our websites or view ads that we serve elsewhere
online, you may see different kinds of ads, such as text ads next to search results or video ads on web
pages. Sometimes, these ads are based on the content of the pages on which they appear. Other times,
these ads are generated by matching the particular ad to your interests as inferred from your online
activities that have been collected over time. With interest-based advertising, the goal is to show you
ads that are most relevant to you.
To do this, we and some of our third-party advertising companies use technologies such
as cookies and web beacons to collect information about your interaction with our websites and other
third-party websites (“Online Data”). This Online Data generally does not identify you to us personally
and, typically, it is aggregated with other data to create segments – groups of users and certain
general interest categories that we have inferred based on a variety of factors (for example, “sports
fan”). Online Data can include:
- The webpages, products and services you view and links you click when using our websites and
services as well as third-party websites;
- Our e-mails that you view and links you click on within that e-mail;
- Whether you view or click on ads that are shown to you;
- Demographic or interest data, including general geographic location derived from IP address;
- The search terms you enter when using certain search services.
We and our third-party advertising partners use this Online Data to paint a more
accurate picture of the interests of the audiences with which we interact – including you – so that we
can serve ads that are more relevant to those interests.
In addition, our third-party advertising partners use this Online Data for a variety
of other purposes, including (a) in conjunction with advertising that appears on our website or other
websites, (b) for reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisement data and other interaction with
ads and the websites on which they are served, and (c) to measure the effectiveness of web-based and
e-mail advertisements.
Why would you want to receive interest-based ads?
Consumers like to receive interest-based ads for many different reasons.
Interest-based ads are helpful because they are more tailored to your particular interests. For example,
cat owners may see more ads for cat food and fewer ads for dog grooming services. Interest-based ads
also are more likely to help you discover new products and services that are actually relevant to you
and your interests. For example, dog owners may see an ad about the latest dog-grooming products,
whereas cat owners might be more likely to see an ad for the latest feline hairball solution. In short,
receiving interest-based ads can help to improve your access to new products, services and features that
are most relevant to you, which in turn could help to improve your life and social experiences. You also
will not see the same ads over and over from us because the number of times you see a particular
interest-based ad is limited. By opting-out of interest-based ads, you lose all of these benefits.
A Note on Google Analytics — To help facilitate the delivery of relevant content, we
use Google Analytics Advertising Features.
How can you opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from us?
If you are no longer interested in receiving interest-based ads from us, you can
opt-out by contacting us using the information below. Please note, however, that opting-out does not
mean you will no longer see ads from us online. It simply means that the online ads from us you do see
will not be based on your particular interests.
Depending on where you live, you may be able to access one convenient place to
indicate your preferences, including the option to make one “universal” opt-out of interest-based
advertising with participating entities:
When you opt-out, a cookie will be placed on your device indicating that you have
opted-out of interest-based advertising. If you delete your cookies, you will need to opt-out again.
These websites also provide detailed information about interest-based advertising and tips for managing
your online privacy.
