SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL SOCIETY (SCS) The following provisions shall be applicable for the processing of data by SWAROVSKI in connection with the customer loyalty program Swarovski Crystal Society (SCS).

a. Responsible for the Personal Data (Controller) The PERSONAL DATA in connection with the membership at SCS is processed by two joint controllers, in particular (i) the controller of the respective local Swarovski company which issues the membership according to the application form and which receives the membership fees, and (ii) the controller of Swarovski Aktiengesellschaft, Dröschistrasse 15, 9495 Triesen, Liechtenstein. The collected personal data will be shared with other companies of the Swarovski Group of companies and certain third parties as described in this Privacy Policy.

b. Processing of Personal Data and Source Swarovski collects and retains the personal obligatory data provided on the SCS application form (including but not necessarily limited to the title, name, contact details, birth date, pre-existing SCS membership number, language preference, order information, as well as the name, contact details and SCS membership number of the gift giver, where applicable) by the SCS Member him or herself or by the person that buys the SCS Membership as a gift and provides Swarovski with the PERSONAL DATA of the SCS Member (“Form Data”). In addition, Swarovski also collects any Personal Data provided voluntarily by the customer in the online member area or when interacting with us: styles/interests (e.g. in Jewellery and Accessories, Home, Figures and Collectables and/or Watches; Classic style), social media accounts (and related information collected through social log-in), gender, IP address and online identifiers.

Swarovski receives such PERSONAL DATA from the points of sale where the membership is ordered and paid. It assigns to each new SCS Member, a unique membership number, tracks the membership start and renewal dates, service and mailing options chosen by the SCS Member, services provided (including gifts sent), and, as the case may be, further data about the SCS Member's use of the Swarovski Group's online offerings and mailings (e.g., newsletter open rate, click rate, visited online web pages, social media interactions), interaction variables (such as click rates, time of interaction or social media interaction). Swarovski may also process payment information, directly or through a third party, where necessary for the payment of SCS Membership fees. Additionally, Swarovski records the purchase history of each SCS Member, in the form of items purchased (product designation, price) and place and time of purchase. The purchase history is recorded only if the SCS Membership number is communicated at the checkout for purchases in stores offering the SCS program. In the online store, a registered customer must activate their account online by setting up an online account. A registered customer’s purchase history is recorded if the account number is quoted when making a purchase or the registered customer makes a purchase when logged into their online account. Swarovski also collects and saves any vouchers sent to the SCS Member and, as the case may be, further data about the SCS member’s use of the Swarovski Group's online offerings and mailings (e.g., newsletter open rate, click rate, visited online web pages, social media interaction). Where Swarovski believes that two different SCS Memberships belong to the same individual, or where a valid request is received, Swarovski may merge them.

c. Purpose of processing SWAROVSKI collects and processes the personal data of members of the customer loyalty program in particular also for the following purposes:

administration of SCS memberships;
operation of SCS, namely providing of advantages and awarding special conditions, participating in surveys, requiring feedback and act in social media,
Personalization and unification of customer experience across channels (Swarovski stores, swarovski.com, e-mail communication, social media) 
Provision of relevant information and a personalized marketing content 
Non-marketing communication including but not limited to: changes related to our Privacy Policy, General Terms and Conditions and/or Terms of Use; general changes to product and service offering; account verification; password reset; or an information related to incidents that could affect our services
Provision of personalized offers, assistance and advice regarding products and services
Provision of invitations to special events and promotions reserved for registered customers
Participation in surveys, requiring customer feedback across channels (Swarovski stores, swarovski.com, e-mail, social media)
In participating stores, the SCS membership allows SCS members to take advantage of an extended customer advice in which, upon presentation of the account number, the store employee can call up the registered customer’s data and provide the registered customer with additional sales advice based on his or her past purchases, style/interests selected or wish list. On presentation of the SCS membership number, e-mail address or the registered customer’s name and date of birth (or another unique authentication attribute), the relevant store employee or customer service representative has access to the relevant registered customer’s saved purchase history data and wish list. 

Swarovski may also use personal data of SCS members to propose them personalized assistance and advice and to be in contact with a dedicated Crystal Expert with any requests they may have via phone, email or in any other way chosen by Swarovski. Members can decide if they wish to benefit from such services. For the provision of this personalized information interesting for visitors or loyalty program members, Swarovski may perform profiling activities. Profiling is defined as any kind of automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict elements as preferences, interests or likely behaviour of that natural person. By providing certain information to Swarovski, such as a telephone number, loyalty program members are consenting to and authorizing Swarovski and its affiliates, to contact them from time to time by telephone at the telephone number provided (even if their phone number(s) may be on a Do-Not-Call list or similar list) to receive personalized marketing messages. This consent can be withdrawn at any time by contacting us using our contact information below.

The personal data collected is used by Swarovski to administer and manage the Membership (including also for accounting and payment purposes), to provide the Member with the benefits and other services that come with the Membership (the legal basis for this is the Membership) and to provide the SCS Member with commercial communications (such as newsletters, product information, services and exclusive offers of the Swarovski Group) by e-mail, mail, mobile messaging or a phone call based on the contact information provided by the Member (for which Swarovski relies on the SCS Member's consent). In all these cases, SWAROVSKI may personalize the information sent to the Member so that the Member particularly receives, where possible, information which SWAROVSKI considers interesting for the Member. For this purpose, SWAROVSKI analyses the Form Data (and in particular, information as to age, gender, interests and preferences) and other information that can be gleaned from the purchase history, or inferred from interaction data, or has been given to SWAROVSKI by the SCS Member voluntarily at any later time. Furthermore, SWAROVSKI may use the personal data for compliance with its legal obligations and, where it has a legitimate interest, for statistical and research purposes, including for better understanding of SCS Members, consumer and market analysis, improvements to the SCS Program and the development of new products and services.

 Non-marketing communication may still be sent if you have opted-out from certain marketing communication as this may be necessary for us to perform a contract with you, to comply with legal obligations or security requirements. Also, we will send you a personal note on your birthday, if you share your date of birth with us.

d. Disclosure of Personal Data In the course of processing personal data in connection with SCS, SWAROVSKI may namely disclose data to the following categories of recipients:

PARTNERS, including business, marketing and promotion partners (including social media partners) and all participating retail shops or other authorized specialists dealers, irrespective of whether the company is run by SWAROVSKI or another sales or cooperation partner; whereas these stores may be located within any country worldwide and they may use data received from SWAROVSKI only for the purpose of operating SCS, including personalized offers to and communication with Members on behalf of SWAROVSKI;
to a SWAROVSKI company to whom the processing of data (operation of the database) regarding SCS has been outsourced in technical respect (processors) or to any other SWAROVSKI companies to comply with your specific request (e.g., request for relocation of local Swarovski company who operate SCS membership).
). Each recipient may be located in a country without an adequate level of data protection. If that is the case, SWAROVSKI will ensure an adequate level of protection.

 e.

They also have the right to ask to amend, limit or delete their personal information, ask to object to or restrict the processing of the personal data, ask for a copy of the personal information, or ask for the transfer of their personal data to other third parties.

The purchase history is generally recorded for five years. As exception to this rule, the purchase history on SCS exclusive products will be kept during the entire duration of the Membership in order to recognize member life-time value to the Society.
