Hydroactive AG (Hydroactive), provides this privacy policy to describe how we collect and use the information you provide to us through Hydroactive -controlled websites and digital properties including social media platforms wherever this privacy policy is posted (each a “Hydroactive Property” and collectively “Hydroactive Properties”). This privacy policy does not apply to information collected by us offline or through any other means, including on any other website operated by Hydroactive, or to information collected by any third party (including our affiliates and subsidiaries), including through any website that may be linked to or accessible from Hydroactive Properties. Please read this policy to understand how we will treat the personal information that you give to us. Your use of any Hydroactive Property constitutes your agreement to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Collection of Information Through Hydroactive Properties

You can visit and browse a Hydroactive Property without providing personal information about yourself. However, your choice not to provide personal information may impact your ability to participate in or use certain features of a Hydroactive Property. You may choose to voluntarily disclose personal information about yourself. Personal information is your name, postal address, telephone number, and e-mail address. You may provide us with personal information in the following ways:

Promotional Emails. Through various Hydroactive Properties, you may be able to request to receive promotional emails or other information from us. We may also ask if you want to receive such promotional emails or information during a sweepstake or a promotional registration process or other features on a Hydroactive Property. If you want to receive our promotional material, you will be asked to provide certain personal information and areas of interest so that we can fulfill your request. If you would like to stop receiving such promotional material, please refer to the opt-out provisions within the material.

We may use the information you provide us for purposes that include monitoring and operating the online community, responding to your specific questions or concerns, and providing you with relevant content and advertising. Please keep in mind that any information you post is available to be viewed by the public. You should exercise caution in determining what information you post.

2. Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

When you visit a Hydroactive Property certain information about your visit may be automatically logged, including the Internet Service Provider and IP address through which you access the Internet, the date and time you access our site, the pages you access while on our website, and the Internet address of the website, if any, from which you have directly accessed our site. We may use this information to improve your experience, operate our site, for marketing and advertising, and for other operational purposes.

When you visit Hydroactive Properties, we may set a “cookie” on your browser. A cookie is a small piece of data that is set on your Web browser that allows websites to distinguish between visitors, analyze traffic patterns through our Hydroacrtive Properties, and for advertising and other purposes.

We may also use “pixels,” or transparent images, to help manage online advertising. These pixels are provided by our ad management partners. These files enable us or our partners to recognize a cookie on your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to our website.

Most Web browser software automatically accepts cookies, but you can change your browser settings to block cookies on your browser. How to turn off all cookies differs for each web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Chrome, etc.) so you may wish to consult your browser’s “Help” menu for additional information.

Some browsers have a do-not-track mechanism designed to let you signal to websites that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. These mechanisms are not yet uniform, and there is not yet a consensus on how to respond to these signals, so we do not respond to these signals or obligate third parties that may have content or services available on Hydroactive Properties to honor these signals.

3. Online Advertising

To provide you a more relevant and interesting experience, Hydroactive may work with third party companies to display ads on the Hydroactive Properties and elsewhere on the Internet. These companies may use cookies (a small text file), pixels, or similar technologies that are placed in browsers to gather information about your visits to a Hydroacrtive Property as well as your visits elsewhere on the Internet. These companies use this information to provide you more relevant advertising known as interest-based advertising. Some of these companies may be participants in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). The DAA offers a choice mechanism with respect to certain types of data collection and use. Visit www.aboutads.info to exercise choice with respect to participants of the DAA. If you change computers or browsers, use multiple computers or browsers, or delete your cookies, you may need to repeat this process for each computer and each browser.
