INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
We may share your personal data within the Rolex group of companies. This may involve transferring your data outside Switzerland.

Some of our external third parties are established outside Switzerland, meaning that the processing of your personal data will involve the transfer of such data outside Switzerland.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside Switzerland, we ensure a similar level of protection by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

- We will transfer your personal data only to countries that have been considered by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), as providing an adequate level of protection. You can consult the adequacy lists at www.edoeb.admin.ch or www.pfpdt.admin.ch.

- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). For further details, please consult www.edoeb.admin.ch or www.pfpdt.admin.ch.

- Where we use providers established in the United States, we may transfer personal data to them if they have adhered to the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, recognised as adequate by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). For further details, please consult the Data Privacy Framework information available at www.edoeb.admin.ch or www.pfpdt.admin.ch.

Please contact us if you would like further information on the specific mechanism we use to transfer your personal data outside Switzerland.

DATA SECURITY
We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent the accidental loss, unauthorised use or access, and any alteration or disclosure, of your personal data. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to employees, agents, subcontractors and other third parties who have a need to know it for business purposes. These third parties will process your personal data only on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have implemented procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any competent authority of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
In certain circumstances, under applicable data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

- Request access to your personal data — a “data subject access request”. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to verify that our processing of your data is lawful.

- Request rectification of the personal data we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to erase or delete personal data where we no longer have a valid reason to continue processing it. You also have the right to ask us to erase or delete your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing, see below, where we have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data in accordance with local law. Please note, however, that we may not be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, where applicable, in response to your request.

- Object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on a legitimate interest, or on the legitimate interest of a third party, and there is something about your particular situation which makes you wish to object to processing on this basis because you consider that it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing your information which override your rights and freedoms.

- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following cases:- If you want us to establish the accuracy of the data.

- Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.

- Where you need us to retain the data even if we no longer need it, because you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

- If you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds.

- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide your personal data to you, or to a third party of your choice, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Please note that this right applies only to automated information for the use of which you initially provided your consent to us, or where we use the information for the performance of a contract with you.

- Withdraw your consent at any time where we rely on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal of your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will inform you where applicable at the time you withdraw your consent.

- Right not to be subject to automated decision-making. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing of your data if it produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you. We do not use this type of process in connection with the Boutique and its website.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact the DPO at the following email address: privacy@rolex.com

NO FEE IN PRINCIPLE
You will not have to pay any fee to access your personal data, or to exercise any of your other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is manifestly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. In such circumstances, we may simply refuse to comply with your request.

WHAT WE MAY REQUIRE FROM YOU
We may request specific information from you in order to help us confirm your identity and enable you to exercise your right of access to your personal data, or any of your other rights. This is a security measure designed to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to obtain further information about your request in order to speed up our response.

TIME LIMIT FOR RESPONSE
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. The time required may, however, exceed one month if your request is particularly complex or if you have submitted several requests. In such case, we will inform you of the progress of your request.

YOUR OBLIGATION TO INFORM US OF CHANGES
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and up to date. Please inform us of any changes to your personal data during your relationship with us.
