Carpigiani North America Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”)

(version January 2024)

Introduction to this Privacy Notice

At Carpigiani North America and our affiliated companies (“Carpigiani North America”, “we”, “us”, “our”), we recognize the importance of privacy to you and are firmly committed to protecting your privacy when you visit our websites, apps, use our products and services or otherwise provide information to us that is considered Personal Data. We have instituted this Privacy Notice to inform you how Carpigiani North America processes your Personal Data in the aforementioned circumstances. Carpigiani North America is the controller within the meaning of applicable data protection laws. If we process your Personal Data as our customer (including Teorema services), the Carpigiani North America entity is the controller that has entered into a contract with you as a customer; if you visit a website of Carpigiani North America, the Carpigiani North America company responsible for the website is the controller. In all other cases, Carpigiani North America is the controller. A list of Carpigiani North America entities can be found in the table at the end of this Privacy Notice. This Privacy Notice does not apply to the extent we process Personal Data in the role of a processor or service provider on behalf of our customers, including in particular for Teorema services. Please refer to your employer or contractor to learn more about the processing of your personal data in this respect.

The meaning of Personal Data

“Personal Data,” also referred to as “Personal Information,” includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This means any individual who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as name, identification number, location data, online identifiers (for example, IP addresses – if they can be used to identify you) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Put simply, “Persona; Data” includes data which either by itself or with other data held by us or available to us, can be used to identify you, or can reasonably be associated or linked with you.

Important notice about international transfers

Due to the global nature of our business, your Personal Data will be stored and transferred to parties located in other countries, including outside the European Economic Area. These other countries may have different data protection laws than your country of residence or they may not have any data protection laws. If we process your personal data in countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (e.g. by integrating tools from companies based in the USA on our website), we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of protection exists for this purpose. Typically, we take the following protective measures:

The categories of Personal Data we may collect, the purpose and the lawful basis

We collect Personal Data directly from you through your interactions with our website [(www.carpigiani.com/us), (www.frozendessertuniversity.com), (www.icecream.carpigiani.com)] In all cases, we collect Personal Data about you in accordance with the principles outlined in this Policy and applicable law. Residents of the US should also review the US-specific disclosures in our “For Residents of California and Certain other US States” section below.

In summary, we need certain categories of Personal Data because that is necessary in order to administer any contract Carpigiani North America, or one of its brands, entered into with you (where relevant). Certain other Personal Data is processed for our legitimate interests in cases where this does not result in prejudice to you. Please note that if the Personal Data we collect from you is necessary to entering into a contract with you, or to manage the business relationship with you or to fulfill a mandatory requirement, opting out of providing such data may inhibit our ability to contract with you, properly operate our website, or provide the services or answers your request.

For Residents of California and Certain other US States

This section is meant to provide supplemental or specific information for residents of California and certain other US states. We encourage you to read the full policy. The Personal Data we collect about you includes information within the below categories of data. Note that the “category of data” column listed below refers to the category of personal data as defined under California law and represents the categories of Personal Data that we have collected, and how it has been shared, over the past 12 months. Inclusion of a category in the list below indicates only that we may collect some information within that category. We do not necessarily collect all information listed in a particular category, nor do we collect all categories of information for all individuals. Note also that only California privacy law, at this time, applies in the applicant and business-to-business contexts. We have disclosed Personal Data in each of the below categories with our affiliates, service providers, and professional advisors (such as auditors and legal advisors), as well as with government entities as necessary, for our business purposes within the last 12 months. We have not necessarily shared all information listed in a category nor do we necessarily share information about every individual. We also may use all of the below categories of information to establish and enforce our legal rights and obligations; identify and record fraudulent activity; comply with instructions from law enforcement agencies, any court or otherwise as required by law; and resolve any complaints from or disputes with you.

Category of Data

https://icecream.carpigiani.com/privacy-policy/

In addition to the categories of information above, we also collect the following categories of sensitive Personal Data as defined under California law: We do not use or disclose sensitive Personal Data we collect for purposes other than those considered necessary under California law, including as needed to perform our services, verify and maintain the quality and safety of our services, and resist fraud or illegal actions. We do not sell your Personal Data, and we have contracts with our service providers to prohibit any sale of your Personal Data and to provide written assurances regarding the security and privacy protections they have in place to protect your Personal Data. We also do not sell your Personal Data to or share your Personal Data with third parties for cross contextual behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under California law, or for targeted advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable state privacy laws. We also do not share (as that term is defined under California law) identifiers, commercial information, Internet or other electronic network activity information, or geolocation data with third parties for analytics, advertising or direct marketing purposes. Nor do we intend to. We also have not done so for the last 12 months. We may share Personal Data about you with service providers or transfer it to another country for processing as permitted and in compliance with applicable law.

Data anonymization and use of aggregated information

We may convert your Personal Data into statistical or aggregated data in such a way as to ensure that you are not identified or identifiable from that data. We may use this aggregated data to conduct market research and analysis, including to produce statistical research and reports. For example, we may produce reports on which of our product offerings attract the fewest or the highest number of enquiries from brokers and intermediaries and other persons visiting our website or using our products and services. In particular, we use technology to collect anonymous information about your use. For example:

  1. we use technology to track which pages of our website visitors view. We also use technology to determine which web browsers our visitors use. This technology does not identify you personally, it simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our website.

  2. certain pages of our website may contain hyperlinks to other pages of it. We may use technology to track how often these links are used and which pages on our website our visitors choose to view. Again this technology does not identify you personally — it simply enables us to compile statistics about the use of these hyperlinks.

We use this anonymous data to improve the content and functionality and consider areas and subjects which are attracting interest so that we can focus our e-mail updates (for those that wish to receive such communications). This allows us to better understand our visitors’ interest areas generally and therefore to improve our website and products and services we offer.

Cookies and analytic tools

Also, we may from time -to- time use cookies on our website and when providing digital services. For additional information please visit our Cookie Policy: Our Cookie Policy contains information about how we use cookies and how you manage your cookie settings. Cookies are files that are stored on your mobile phone, tablet or computer when you visit a website. You can disable cookies using your Internet browser settings. Please consult your browser's help function for information on how to disable cookies. Note that if you disable cookies, certain features may not function properly. For additional information please visit our Cookie Policy: Our Cookie Policy contains information about how we use cookies and how you manage your cookie settings.

Google Analytics

With your consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of the Google Inc. (“Google”). Google uses Cookies that are transferred to and being saved on their servers located in the United States of America. In case of activating the IP-anonymization on this out website, your IP address is being shortened within the EU/EEA. Only in exceptional cases will your entire IP address be sent to the servers in the USA and will be shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your usage of our website, to assemble reports on the website activity and to execute further related services. The IP address that is transferred from your browser to Google will not be merged with other data of Google.

As we have pointed out for the regular cookies, you can disable cookies using your Internet browser settings. Please consult your browser's help function for information on how to disable cookies. Note that if you disable cookies, certain features may not function properly. For this purpose, you may also use and install a plug-in that is provided by Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

We use Google Analytics with the extension „_anonymizeIp()“. In that result, only shortened IP addresses are being processed to prevent the affiliation to people. Therefore, personalized data will be deleted immediately.

We use Google Analytics to analyze and improve our website and services. With the gathered statistics, we can improve our services for you. For the exceptional cases, where personal data is being transferred to the USA, the EU approved standard contractual clause are entered into with Google. Legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they “do not track” your online activities. While we do not sell or share Personal Data derived from cookies for cross context behavioural advertising, we nonetheless have tools in place to detect and honour requests made using these Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals as requests to opt-out of the sharing of Personal Data to the extent required by applicable privacy law. If you wish to manage your cookie preferences directly with us, please go to our consent manager or make a request using one of the methods outlined above. The foregoing shall not affect our obligation to collect consent for cookies, where applicable.

With your consent, we also use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please visit the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html. Legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent.

Disclosure of your Personal Data to third parties

We may disclose your Personal Data to third parties, including but not limited to as follows:

  1. within our group of companies for the purposes of use described in this Privacy Notice;
  2. to third parties who supply services to us and who help us and our group of companies to operate our business. For example, sometimes a third party may have access to your Personal Data in order to support our information technology or to handle mailings on our behalf;
  3. to our legal and other professional advisers;
  4. as necessary in order to comply with a legal requirement (including, where appropriate, any imposed on our group companies in the United States), for the administration of justice, to protect vital interests, to protect the security or integrity of our databases or websites, to take precautions against legal liability;
  5. to regulatory authorities, courts and governmental agencies to comply with legal orders, legal or regulatory requirements and government requests; and
  6. to a potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your Personal Data only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Notice (on the legal basis of our prevailing legitimate interest in ensuring the business operation).

Please also see the “For California Residents” section above for more details on the type of information provided to third parties.

Security of Personal Data

We endeavour to maintain technical and physical security measures designed to protect Personal Data which is transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by us, from an unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access, in connection with our website, products and services. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and facilities. Our service providers are also selected carefully and required to use appropriate protective measures. In certain areas, Carpigiani North America uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. Most current browsers support the level of security needed to use these areas.

In particular, we endeavour to maintain technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including as appropriate: (a) pseudonymisation (such as where data is separated from direct identifiers so that linkage to an identity is not possible without additional information that is held separately) and encryption, (b) ensuring the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services used to process your Personal Data, (c) ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (d) ensuring a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational security measures. Please note, however, that no method of data transmission is over 100% secure or error free.

Retention period or criteria used to determine the retention period

In general, we aim to keep your Personal Data only for as long as it is necessary to do so to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected as described above. To support us in managing how long we hold Personal Data and our record management, we maintain a data retention policy which includes clear guidelines on retention and deletion.

The criteria we use to determine data retention periods for Personal Data includes the following: (i) Retention in case of queries. We will retain it for a reasonable period after the relationship between us has ceased in case of queries from you; (ii) Retention in case of claims. We will retain it for the period in which you might legally bring claims against us) if and to the extent we have entered into any contract with you; (iii) Retention in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. We will consider whether we need to retain it after the period described in (ii) because of a legal or regulatory requirement; (iv) Retention for the purposes of lead generation and lead management. In case we process your Personal Data based on legitimate interest, we will process such data until you object to such processing.

If your application for employment is successful and you commence employment with Carpigiani North America, your Personal Data will be transferred to your personnel file and will be processed for employment purposes. If your application for employment is not successful, we will keep your Personal Data for a limited period (usually 6 months) upon notification that your application was not successful.
