Bmpeak’s Commitment to Personal Data and Privacy

We respect your right to privacy and comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to personal data protection.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We only share personal data with third parties as described in this Privacy Policy. These transfers only take place if we have obtained your prior consent or in compliance with applicable legislation when such consent is not required. For further information on how we share personal data with third parties, please see Section 4.

Your ability to make informed choices about how we process personal data is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how you can make choices about how we use or otherwise process your personal data.

For the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, we collect the following personal data:

We also receive personal data related to members and customers through indirect channels. For example, if a member adds additional household members to his or her membership account, we collect names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses from the member about these individuals. In some cases, we also receive personal data, such as contact information, from third parties that support us with specific processes, such as records correction, fraud prevention, delivery services and the offering of special promotions or products. We combine this data with the other personal data we collect directly about you to administer your membership, provide you with products and services and ensure our records are accurate and up-to-date.

4. HOW DOES BMPEAK SHARE PERSONAL DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES?

We do not share personal data about you with third parties except as follows:

· Our Service Providers

We share personal data with companies that perform services for us (e.g. web hosting, information technology, payment processing, product fulfilment, installation, claims processing, recovery of unpaid checks, direct mail and email distribution, marketing, and the provision of data analytics, insurance, audit, accountancy, legal and advisory services). Please note that since some of these service providers are located abroad, certain disclosures imply a cross-border transfer of your personal data as described in Section 5.

· Third-Party Suppliers

We share personal data with companies that we partner with to provide you with certain products and services, such as optical and hearing aid suppliers and manufacturers or distributors who ship products directly to you. If you purchase, apply for or request certain products or services provided by a third party, we will share your name, membership number and other personal data as is necessary for the third party to deliver the product or service to you. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these third parties and encourage you to become familiar with their privacy and security practices and policies before disclosing any additional personal data to them.

· Primary Bmpeak Account Holder

If you are a Bmpeak member, each membership account has an individual primary account holder who is authorised to designate and remove add-on members and make other account management decisions. Please be aware that information about all activities occurring under the account, including transactions completed by add-on members, will be available to the primary account holder. Similarly each online subscription account has a primary subscriber; information relating to all activities occurring under the online account is available to the subscriber of record.

· Third Party Services

You may purchase products and services offered by us through third parties, such as financial, travel and other business and consumer services ("Third Party Services"). If you purchase, apply for or request Third Party Services, information you provide will be shared with the third party offering the Third Party Service. See Section 8 for more details about Third Party Services.

· Our Affiliates and Entities that Belong to Bmpeak's Corporate Group

We share personal data with our corporate affiliates for the purposes described in Section 3. Since our affiliates are located abroad, please note that disclosures to certain affiliates imply a cross-border transfer of your personal data as described in Section 5.

· Fraud Control

Bmpeak works with services providers and belongs to associations that share a limited amount of personal data for fraud control purposes, such as all or part of a payment card number, an IP address or a device ID.

· Compliance with Law

We also disclose personal data when we are legally authorised or required to do so to comply with applicable law or legal process (including requests from authorities and courts), to respond to claims (including inquiries by you in connection with your purchases at Bmpeak), or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of the Bmpeak companies, our shoppers, members, our employees or the public.

· Corporate Transactions

Personal data may be disclosed or transferred as part of, or during negotiations of, any merger or sale of company assets or acquisition to third parties involved in such transactions.

· Consent

We also share personal data with third parties, other than those described above, when we have your consent to do so.

5. DOES BMPEAK TRANSFER PERSONAL DATA OUTSIDE THE EEA?

Your personal data will be transferred to countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including the UK, and, in some cases, the laws of these countries do not provide the same level of protection of your personal data as those in the UK. For example, we transfer personal data to our corporate affiliates, located in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Mexico, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We also transfer personal data to service providers that process personal data for us in the United States, Canada and other locations (as an example, Google and Microsoft process personal data for us in various data centre locations, including those listed at http://www.google.ca/about/datacenters/inside/locations/ and https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/regions/, respectively).

Bmpeak ensures, with the signature of Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission, that personal data transferred outside the EEA is maintained with at least the same level of security and protection for personal data that is required under the applicable legislation. Copies of the Standard Contractual Clauses we use to facilitate the transfer of data outside the EEA are available here and here.

6. HOW DOES BMPEAK PROTECT PERSONAL DATA?

We have physical, administrative and technical security measures in place to help protect personal data from damage, loss, alteration, destruction or unauthorised access, processing or use while it is under our control. With regard to credit card data, we are required to process and maintain payment card data in accordance with the data security rules adopted by credit card companies such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

7. HOW LONG DOES BMPEAK RETAIN PERSONAL DATA?

Bmpeak will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which such data was collected, unless a longer retention period is required under applicable law. For example, we need to keep records about our members’ purchase histories in order to honour our returns policy. If you want to return an item you bought from us several years ago, we need to be able to confirm when and where you bought it. For this reason, we generally keep records about our members’ accounts and purchase histories for a minimum of 7 years. In addition, when you consent to receive marketing communications from us, we retain your email address and information about your marketing preferences for the duration of your membership, unless you opt out of receiving such communications or terminate your membership. Image records obtained through video surveillance systems at our warehouses will be retained for 30 days.

8. THIRD PARTY SERVICES

If you purchase, apply for or request Third Party Services, information you provide will be shared with the third party offering the Third Party Service. For example, if you register for the Bmpeak Auto Programme, we may share membership details with participating dealers to confirm your enrolment in the programme. In turn, information you provide to these third parties may in turn be shared with us along with information about your use of the particular Third Party Service. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these third parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their privacy and security practices and policies before disclosing information to them.

If you apply for an American Express Card co-branded credit card through Bmpeak Wholesale, Bmpeak Wholesale will collect the application on behalf of American Express. We will share with our credit card partners (including the issuing institution, the payment processing network, and other organisations providing services relating to the Bmpeak co-branded credit card) the information you provide on the application form. If the application is approved, we will share with these partners your Bmpeak membership number(s) and start date(s), your Bmpeak membership photograph(s) that will appear on the co-branded card, your company name and resale permit number (if applicable) and the type and status of your Bmpeak membership. Our credit card partners also have privacy policies, which we encourage you to review carefully before applying for a co-branded credit card.

9. OPTICAL AND HEARING CENTRES

If you purchase eyeglasses, contact lens, hearing devices and accessories from us, we collect and retain in our files your prescription information as well as a limited amount of background health information that you give us so that we may properly provide the service and/or medical device you have requested. We have procedures in place to protect your health-related information. If you request or receive government funding for optical or hearing devices or services, we may share your health information with the relevant government agency. Bmpeak and our service providers may collect, use or disclose your personal health information in connection with: providing you with the health services you request;

· communicating with you and your health service providers;

· storing electronic health records within onsite or offsite servers;

· processing or obtaining payment for government-funded health services (for example, obtaining authorisation from your insurer or a government agency for payment);

· processing or obtaining payment from your health insurance provider; or

· internal management purposes, including planning, resource allocation, policy development, quality improvement, monitoring, audit, evaluation and reporting.

We process your personal health information where we have your explicit consent to do so, and where necessary for the provision of healthcare or treatment to you.

We may also disclose personal health information without your knowledge or consent if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order legally authorises us or requires us to do so or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Bmpeak, its customers, employees or other members of the public. We may also be required to disclose certain personal health information in order to maintain standing with professional health bodies, including those for pharmacists, audiologists and opticians

10. BMPEAK TRAVEL UK

Bmpeak Travel, UK Limited acts as an agent to help our members book travel in the UK and throughout the world. (Bmpeak Travel UK currently provides car hire, but may at some time also offer cruises, hotels and other travel-related goods or services.) Since, in this instance, we are acting as an agent connecting our members to various travel providers, personal data you provide to us will be transferred to the travel providers and their agents, and will be subject to their privacy policies and their local laws. Your personal data may be accessible in the UK or in foreign jurisdictions to law enforcement and national security authorities. We are not responsible for the privacy and security practices or policies of these travel providers or their agents, and we encourage you to learn about their privacy and security practices and policies before booking travel through us.

The personal data requested by travel providers may include, among other things, financial information, travel document details, trip details, nationality, gender, date of birth, credit card information, disability information, travel preferences, loyalty program details, and emergency contact details. This personal data is required for purposes including booking your trip, contacting you in association with your trip, providing mandatory information to government authorities, personalising your travel experiences, and for other purposes identified by the travel providers in their privacy policies. We may retain some or all of this information in order to provide services to you in association with your bookings. The information held by us will be subject to our Privacy Policy.

When you make a reservation for someone else through us, we will ask you for their personal data. You should ensure that you have the consent of other individuals before providing us with their personal data. By providing us with that information, we consider that you have these other individuals’ consent and authorisation to provide us with their personal data and to make bookings on their behalf in accordance with our travel providers’ privacy policies.

If another person who has your full name and booking reference numbers contacts us and seeks information on your booking or wishes to make changes to it, we will disclose that information and allow that other person to make changes to your booking, as we will assume that you have given that person the consent to do so. Likewise, if your bookings are made through or by third parties, such as employers, family members or others, we will consider those people to be authorised by you to provide your personal data in accordance with this Section, unless or until you tell us otherwise.
