For example, if you create an account, purchase any products, use our consultation services, submit a product review, enter a competition and/or contact our customer service team you may provide your first name, last name, date of birth, gender, email address, mailing address and/or telephone number.
When you register for an account, we will also collect information associated with your account such as the date you joined and your order numbers.
When you engage with Orveda we may use cookies and similar tracking technology to collect the following information about you automatically (for further information please see our Cookies Policy for more information):
For example, when you visit the website, engage with Orveda content or with us digitally, we may collect your broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location) from your Device.
For example, if you ‘log-in’ to the website using a social medial log in or use functionality such as “like” or “share” buttons, that social media site may pass information to us, including: the user ID for that third party site, the name, email address and location associated with the user ID and any other information permitted under the privacy policy for that website.
We will use your personal information for the purposes set out in this Policy, which will include:
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
We are required to satisfy one or more of the reasons set out by applicable data privacy law before we can collect and use your personal information.
Generally, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally rely on the following reasons to collect and use your personal information:
You may not always be required to provide the personal information that we have requested. However, if you choose not to provide certain information, you may not be able to take advantage of some of our services. Any information that is so required is clearly marked as mandatory. If you would prefer that we not collect certain personal information from you, please do not provide us with any such information, or opt out of providing this information where applicable.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), these interests will normally be as set out in this Policy; however, if this changes we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
If you have any questions or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in the section below marked “How do I contact Orveda?"
During the past 12 months, we may have disclosed the categories of personal information listed in the section marked “what categories of personal information does Orveda collect about me?” to the following categories of recipients:
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable data protection law, you may also have the following rights:
- the right to request access to personal information that we collect, use, disclose and sell, which enables you to receive confirmation as to whether or not we are processing your personal information and access to such personal information.
- the right to change and/or correct inaccurate personal information. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. If you are a registered user, you can also review, change or correct your postal
address personal information at any time by logging in to your account by clicking the log-in link on the website. You may request that we change, update or deactivate your account by contacting us using the contact details provided in the section below “How do I contact Orveda?”.
- the right to block or suppress the processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
- the right to object to our processing of your personal information or your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. More information on how to stop receiving direct marketing can be found in the section below marked, “How do I stop receiving marketing communications?".
- the right to request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see above), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- the right to request portability of your personal information. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- the right to withdraw your consent, if applicable. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
If you exercise any of your data protection rights detailed in this section, we will not discriminate against you and we will not deny you goods or services, charge you a different price or provide you with a lesser quality of goods or services.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the contact details provided in the section below marked “How do I contact Orveda?”.
You may also have a right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or regulator.
If you have any questions or concerns about how we use your personal information, please do not hesitate to let us know.
The website may contain links to or from third party sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. This Policy applies only to the personal information we collect as described above. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of third party sites you access from links on the website or otherwise visit.
Our website may facilitate easy access to certain social networking sites and other websites or services with user-generated content features, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (“Social Sites"). You understand that we do not control such services and are not liable for the manner in which they operate. Please review the Social Sites’ privacy policies if you would like more information about how they collect, use and share your personal information, your privacy rights and how to change your privacy settings.
Our website may enable you to:
- Access Social Sites: This may include: access to websites such as a YouTube video; or activation of third party websites when you make a ‘comment’, ‘share’ or ‘like’ something on the Social Site using a third party social network plug-in. In each instance, such third party’s privacy policy will apply to your interaction with that website or service;
- Submit content to Social Sites: For reviews, discussion forums, message boards, photographs and other public features (“Public Forums"). We do not restrict the distribution of personal information that you voluntarily disclose in these Public Forums, so please be aware that any information you disclose there may be collected and used by us and others. For this reason, we encourage you to refrain from providing or sharing personal information about yourself in the Public Forums. We cannot prevent third parties from using such information in a way that may violate this Policy or applicable law;
- Accept certain cookies from the Site (for example “Facebook Pixels”). These types of cookies help us understand your activity including the Orveda content you see, whether or not you have a Social Site account and if you are logged into that account. This information helps us to show you Orveda content you might be interested in on the Social Sites and measure the effectiveness of the Orveda content.
- Sign-in to the Site using a Social Site: For example, for a harmonized user experience.
Signing-in using a Social Site or other third-party account may allow us to access information that you have given the Social Site permission to share. The sign-in feature may also transfer information to the Social Site or third party, such as your username or social media handle, to authenticate you. The Social Site or third party may also automatically collect information such as your IP address, information about your browser and device, and the web page address of the Site. The sign-in feature may also place and read cookies from that third party that may contain a unique identifier the Social Site or other third party assigns to you. The functionality of and your use of the sign-in is governed by the privacy policy and terms of the Social Site.
We may use your personal information to identify you on Social Sites and to show you ads that are more relevant for you. The Social Sites will not share your personal information with other parties and will delete the information promptly after the matching process is complete.
Our use of your personal information in relation to the Social Sites will be as set out in this Policy or as otherwise notified to you. Again, please note that third party sites (including the Social Sites) may be under the control of a third party and we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies and terms of use of each third party site.
We will only send you marketing communications if you have agreed to this, or if we are otherwise permitted by law. If at any time you decide that you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you may opt out by clicking on the relevant ‘unsubscribe’ link in the emails you receive, by texting STOP in response to any text message or by contacting us using the details found in the section “How do I contact Orveda?”
Please note, whilst we will honor your request to stop receiving marketing communications, we will continue to send you service-related communications such as emails confirming purchases through the website.
We will retain your personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with access to the https://eu.orveda.com or other digital offerings, to provide you with a product you have purchased, or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
In order to provide our services, we may need to transfer and process your personal information internationally (including to destinations outside the country in which you are located).
As a result, your information may be transferred to and/or processed in countries which may not guarantee the same level of protection for personal information as the country in which you reside. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Policy. This includes implementing the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of your personal information from countries located in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), implementing the International Data Transfer Addendum for transfers of your personal information from the United Kingdom, or equivalent data transfer agreements as required by other applicable data protection laws.
Further information can be provided on request: please contact us using the details found in the section “How do I contact Orveda?" We have also implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.
We understand that you care how your personal information is used and/or shared with others, and we value your trust and seek to safeguard your personal information.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, including physical, administrative and technical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
The measures we use to protect your personal information are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. However, please be aware that no electronic transmission of information can be entirely secure. We cannot guarantee that the security measures that we have in place to safeguard personal information will never be defeated or fail, or that those measures will always be sufficient or effective.
Orveda and its preferred third party service providers or business partners may offer sweepstakes, contests, promotions and surveys (each, a “Promotion").
Where we do this, we will use your personal information as set out in this Policy, or as otherwise notified to you. However, in certain cases, a third party’s privacy policy may apply to any personal information that you provide in connection with such Promotion. Before entering any Promotion, we encourage you to check who is operating the Promotion in question, and the terms, conditions, policies and rules that apply to it.
You must be aged 13 or over to use the Orveda sites and our other digital offerings.
We take your privacy very seriously and we understand the importance of taking extra precautions to protect the privacy and safety of children who use our products and services. We do not solicit or knowingly collect personal information from children aged 13 and under. If we are made aware that we have received such information, or any information in violation of our policy, we will use reasonable efforts to locate and remove that information from our records.
If you visit us, we may collect your personal information for the following purposes:
In principle, the use of our website is subject to the legal regulations of the GDPR. Insofar as you also visit our website from Switzerland and insofar as the associated data processing also affects you as a Swiss citizen, these data protection provisions also apply to you under the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act ("Swiss DSG" as amended on 01 September 2023), analogously to the GDPR.
In principle, the Swiss DSG does not provide for the naming of a legal basis. In this respect, we only process your data from Switzerland if the processing is lawful, is carried out in good faith and is proportionate in accordance with Art. 6 (1) and (2) of the Swiss DSG. Furthermore, your data will only be collected by us for a specific purpose that is recognizable to the data subject and will only be processed in such a way that it is compatible with these purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 3 of the Swiss Data Protection Act.
In this context, please also note that although certain terms are formulated differently under the GDPR, they have the same legal meaning as under the Swiss DSG. For example, the GDPR terms "processing" of "personal data" as well as "legitimate interest" and "special categories of data" used in this Privacy Notice correspond to the terms "processing" of "personal data", "overriding interest" and "personal data requiring special protection" used in the Swiss DSG.
The data subject rights set out here pursuant to Art. 12 et seq. DSG can be asserted by data subjects from Switzerland in analogy to the regulations pursuant to Art. 25 et seq. of the Swiss DSG.
We may update or modify this Policy from time to time in response to changing legal, technical or business developments. We will obtain your consent to any material Policy changes if and where this is required by applicable data protection laws. The date of the most recent version of this Policy will appear at the top of the page.
When we update our Policy, we will take appropriate measures to inform you, consistent with the significance of the changes we make. for example, we will notify you of any changes to this Policy by posting a new Policy and updating the “last modified" date at the top of this page or by sending the new Policy to you via email, where appropriate.
We have taken great measures to ensure that your visit to the website is an excellent one and that your privacy is respected. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about our privacy practices and/or would like to submit a privacy request, please contact us either:
