We encourage you to review the Privacy Notice whenever you access our Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

Collection of Information

Information You Provide to Us. We collect information that you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you create an account, make a purchase, enroll in our classes, participate in the interactive areas of our Services, communicate with us via third-party social media sites, participate in our contests, marketing campaigns, sweepstakes and surveys, request customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we collect may include:

· First and last name

· Your postal address(es) for billing and shipping

· Your telephone number

· Your email address

· Purchase information, including lifestyle and food preferences, and grocery lists

· Personal details (e.g., date of birth, gender)

· Your IP address

· Photographs, social media usernames and account ID’s

· Feedback and reviews of Breville’s products and any other information you choose to provide.

Whether or not to provide such information is your choice but if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to purchase products, use our mobile applications or other services, or access certain services, offers and content on our web sites. Also, we may need to contact you via phone, email or mail to address transactional questions or issues such as those specific to your order, even if you have opted to not receive marketing communications from us. In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any contact information about yourself. California residents please note “Your California Privacy Rights” below about the categories of personal information we collect from you and the purposes for which it will be used.

When you make a purchase or a return, we collect information about the transaction, such as the class or product details, the transaction amount and the date of the purchase/return. Note that we do not store or share payment card information, such as credit card numbers. Financial transactions are processed through a variety of third-party processors. The applicable financial processor depends on the type of transaction. To identify a particular processor, please contact us at [email protected]

 

Information We Collect Automatically. When you access or use our Services or connect your Breville appliance to our Services, we automatically collect information about you and associate it with information that you provide directly to us. For example, we may collect:

 

· Website Log Information: We log information about your use of our website, such as your computer’s operating system, the type of browser you use, access times, pages viewed, your IP address and the web page that referred you to our site.

 

· Using pixel tags and other similar technologies: We also use pixel tags (also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) – tiny graphic images – to tell us what parts of our website you have visited or to measure the effectiveness of any searches you may do on our website. Pixel tags also enable us to send your email in a format you can read and let us know when you have opened an email message from us. Some of our third-party vendors may also use cookies or other online tools including pixel tags on our website. Pixels and cookies may also collect and use the geographical location of your computer or mobile device. This location data is collected for the purpose of providing you with information regarding services which we believe may be of interest to

you based on your geographic location, and to improve our location-based products and services.

We may contract with third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf across the internet. To do this, they will collect information about your visits to our website and your interaction with our products and services. They may also use information about your visits to this and other websites to target advertisements. These targeted advertisements may appear on other sites that you visit. This information is collected using a cookie or pixel tag – industry standard technology used by most websites. For more information, see the Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others section below.
