This Privacy and Personal Data protection policy applies to you when you interact with Foodarom Group Inc. and our affiliates (“Foodarom”), including Foodarom USA, Inc. and Foodarom Germany GmbH, in the course of a prospective or ongoing business relationship, when you visit our websites, or when you connect to certain platforms, applications or other solutions under our control.

Personal Data we collect – Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, email address or an online identifier. We may collect and use Personal Data that you provide us when you interact with us. For example, your business contact details, including your full name, contact details, your role within your company, the country where you work, the products and services that are of interest to you and your company, your opinion and preferences about a product, and your communication preferences.

In general, we collect the information that you provide to us when you use the contact forms on our website or on paper forms that we ask you to fill during events such as fairs or other marketing events you participate in. We may also collect information about you indirectly, for example when you browse our websites, subscribe to our feeds on social media, or otherwise use our network infrastructure and the technology we make available to you. We may collect logs about your use of the network, our websites (e.g. your view or click on specific content or links or when you click on social media plugins) or the platforms, applications or other solutions we ask you to connect to. We may also collect information such as your IP address, device browser and operating system when you connect to our network infrastructure.

We also use cookies. Please read our cookies policy for more information about how to manage your online privacy.

How we use your Personal Data – Foodarom will process the Personal Data provided only as set out in this policy. As a general principle, granting of any consent and the provision of any Personal Data hereunder is entirely voluntary. However, there are circumstances in which Foodarom cannot take action without certain Personal Data, for example because this Personal Data is required to process your orders or provide you with access to a web offering or newsletter. In these cases, it will unfortunately not be possible for Foodarom to provide you with what you request without the relevant Personal Data.

Foodarom may use your Personal Data to manage and maintain our business relationship, including to create and maintain an account in our systems, or to designate you as the contact person for specific business interactions (e.g. when you are designated as the person responsible for commercial questions, payments, etc.), to manage your orders, for example to ship and process samples or final products and inform you about the status of your order, to address any queries you may have and record and share internally such queries and send you marketing communications and newsletters about our activities and products that may be of interest to you in the course of our business relationship or when you so requested.

Foodarom may invite you to participate in questionnaires and surveys. These questionnaires and surveys will be generally designed in a way that they can be answered without any Personal Data. If you nonetheless enter Personal Data in a questionnaire or survey, Foodarom may use such Personal Data to improve its products and services.

Subject to a respective provision and your consent, we may use your name, email and postal address, telephone number, job title and basic information about your employer (name, address, and industry) as well as an interaction profile based on prior interactions with Foodarom (prior purchases, participation in webinars, seminars, or events or the use of web sites) in order to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, special offers, and other information about our products, services and events (including marketing-related newsletters).

In connection with these marketing-related activities, Foodarom may provide Personal Data to third party operated social networks or other web offerings (such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram or Google) where this information is then matched against the social networks’ data or the web offerings’ own data bases in order to display to you more relevant information.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We consider your Personal Data as confidential information. However, our websites may contain links to foreign (meaning non-Foodarom affiliates) websites. Foodarom is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of websites outside the Foodarom group of companies. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the privacy statements of such foreign sites.

How and where you Personal Data is stored  – Foodarom has affiliates and third-party service providers around the world, including within as well as outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). As a consequence, whenever Foodarom is using or otherwise processing your Personal Data for the purposes set out in this Policy, Foodarom may transfer your Personal Data to countries outside of the EEA including to such countries in which a statutory level of data protection applies that is not comparable to the level of data protection within the EEA.

However, we deploy technical and organisational measures to secure your Personal Data and ensure that it is protected from unlawful access, alteration and loss. Organisational measures mean for example that we ensure that only the persons who need to do so for business purposes, have access to your Personal Data.

Technical measures mean that we perform regular checks on our infrastructures but also on our service providers to ensure that they comply with the best security policies. We retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary for each of the purposes outlined above. We may however retain certain of your personal data for compliance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. for tax and audit purposes).

Where it is no longer required to retain data that can still identify you, we will either erase, anonymise or aggregate it so that you may no longer be identifiable as a single individual.

You may at any time withdraw a consent granted here under by unsubscribing. To do this, please get in touch with us at info@foodarom.com.

In case of withdrawal, Foodarom will not process Personal Data subject to this consent any longer unless legally required to do so. In case Foodarom is required to retain your Personal Data for legal reasons your Personal Data will be restricted from further processing and only retained for the term required by law.

In case you have further questions about this Policy, please get in touch with our us at info@foodarom.com.
