1. What personal information do we gather about you and how?
Personal information, in the context of this Privacy Policy, means any information that can be used to personally identify you or contact you online or elsewhere. This information includes data such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, phone number, (“personally identifiable information”) demographic information such as your date of birth, age, gender, and your habits or preferences when it they are linked to your personally identifiable information (collectively called “personal information”).
Personal information is only collected with your informed knowledge i.e. when you knowingly submit it to us. This usually occurs when you take part in one of our many promotional activities or subscribe to one of our Digital Services, for example:
- Registration or sign-up online: e.g. subscribing to a newsletter specific to our Digital Services or creating an account to be a member of a club;
- ‘Send to a friend’ marketing communications;
- Sweepstake and contest;
- Joining a loyalty program;
- Buying products or services online, subject to applicable laws;
- Using a QR Code displayed on Pernod Ricard products;
- Events (invitation form or online forms on tablets filled out by our hostesses);
- Brand websites;
- Feedback, questions, or comments through a ‘contact us’ form;
- Any other request that requires the submission of personal information.
The type and amount of information we collect for the features listed above depends on the activity, and the personal information we collect may include: first and last name, email address, home address and telephone number (work or home). For some activities, you might be asked to create a username and/or password and/or to provide additional information, including: (i) your age or date of birth, (ii) gender, (iii) frequency of use, (iv) facts about your household, lifestyle, interests and/or, (v) other information relevant to you.
Subject to applicable laws, we may use a variety of technologies that collect and provide information about how our Digital Services are accessed and used by you. We may also use demographic information about who uses our Digital Services, which we get from third parties such as Google or social media that you use (“Usage Information”).
Usage Information may consist of the pages you looked at, the time you looked at them and which beverage information (or other content) you accessed or provided. It also includes which language you use, demographic information about you (such as your age, gender and interest areas, where available) and which pages you looked at before you visited the current page.
We collect this information to gain a better idea of how people interact with our brands so we can then tailor and improve them accordingly. Most Usage Information that we collect can't be linked to you individually, but if we can link it to you then this Privacy Policy will apply.
2. How and why do we use tracking technologies?
Pernod Ricard uses tracking technologies such as cookies, IP address recording or log files, to gather technical information such as your web browser type and which operating system you use, the webpage you came from, your path through our website and your Internet Service Provider. This is so we can improve the functionality of our websites and better understand how visitors like you use our Digital Services and the tools they offer.
These tracking technologies help us tailor our Digital Services to your personal needs:
- Subject to your consent where required by applicable law, our Digital Services use cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”). Cookies are small files placed on your device which serve a number of purposes, like remembering your preferences. Cookies let you enjoy a richer experience, as well as help accurately measure your behavior on our website. You can learn more about which cookies we use and how to disable them in our Cookies Policy;
- An IP address is a number used on a network to identify your computer every time you connect to the Internet. We may keep track of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to (among other things): (i) troubleshoot technical issues, (ii) maintain website safety and security, (iii) restrict access to our Digital Services to certain users, and, (iv) better understand how our Digital Services are utilized;
- We (or a third party on our behalf) may collect information in the form of logs files that record activity and gather statistics about browsing habits. These entries are generated anonymously, and help us gather (among other things) (i) your web browser type and operating system, (ii) information about your session (such as the URL you came from, the date and time you visited our digital service, and which pages you viewed and for how long), and, (iii) other similar navigational or click-stream data. We also use log file information for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve and customize the online services we offer you. Log files are only used internally and are not associated with any personally identifiable individual.
3. For what purpose do we use your personal information?
Generally, the information we collect is only used for the purpose made clear to you at the point it was collected, or here in this Privacy Policy. These include:
- When you register or sign-up via our Digital Services: the personal information you give is used to provide you with the benefits that typically come along with registration. This includes the ability to receive communications you select at the time of registration or that automatically come with your registration. For example, subscription to a newsletter, creation of an account, participation in a sweepstake or contest, invitation to or attendance at an event organized by Pernod Ricard;
- When you use the ‘Send to a friend’ feature: personal information for one-time use (typically, names and email addresses) is used only once (e.g., to send a message) and is not retained by us;
- When you use a QR Code displayed on Pernod Ricard products: we use your personal information to send you more information on the products where the QR code was displayed or other products;
- When you submit personal information on the iPads or other mobile devices available in Heritage Centers or distilleries: this is used to send you more information on the products;
- Feedback, questions, or comments through our ‘Contact Us’ form and our ‘Tell Us’ compliance reporting system: if you contact us via an online contact form, your information is used to respond to your inquiry or comment.
When you submit your personal information, you may also be given the option (through a tick box or otherwise) to have your information used for an activity or service different from the one you are requesting. For example, if you enter a contest to win a prize, you may also be invited to sign up for a newsletter about other Pernod Ricard products. If you choose to have your information used for another activity or service in this way we will use your information to provide them to you.
We may also use your email address to send you transactional or administrative communications such as confirmation emails when you sign up for, or unsubscribe from, a specific registration or activity. We may also use it for certain service-related announcements, such as updates to our Privacy Notice, discontinued features or programs on our Digital Services, changes to our online services or technical support policies. Collectively, these communications are referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Non-Transactional Communications”.
We may also use your personal and/or demographic information for our internal marketing and demographic studies. This helps us constantly improve, personalize, and customize the products and services we provide.
Subject to applicable laws, this may include occasionally combining, updating, or otherwise enhancing the personal information collected through our Digital Services with anonymized data we get from outside records or third parties.
4. What happens if you do not wish to share your personal information with us?
If you choose not to submit any personal information when requested, you may not be able to participate in certain activities or use some of the personalized features of our Digital Services. This will also limit the services and special offers we can provide you. For example, if you refuse to share your email address, you will not be able to receive any of our newsletters or otherwise register for our Digital Services. However, you do not need to give us any personal information to simply browse our websites and learn more about Pernod Ricard and our products.
5. Who do we disclose your personal information and why?
Pernod Ricard will never share your personal information with any third party that intends to use it for direct marketing purposes, unless we have specifically told you and you have given us explicit permission to do this..
Pernod Ricard may share your personal information with its subsidiary companies, or companies in which Pernod Ricard has control through either direct or indirect ownership (collectively referred to as the “Pernod Ricard Group”). The purposes are explained in Article 3.
If you wish to withdraw your consent to such sharing and use of your information, please address your request as indicated in Article 9 of this Privacy Policy. Please tell us if you are withdrawing your consent for us to share your Personal Data with all of the affiliates in the Pernod Ricard Group to provide you with news and promotional information or just some of those affiliates (and, in that case, please indicate which ones).
Pernod Ricard may also share your personal information with third parties, but only in the following circumstances:
- We may use service providers, agents or contractors to support the internal operations of our digital service, and to assist us with administering them or the various functions, programs and promotions available on it.

- When we run a joint or co-sponsored program or promotion on our Digital Services with another company, organisation, or other reputable third party. As part of this event we may collect and process personal information and share it with that partner or sponsor;
- When we run a promotion with another company, we may provide a separate link to that company's privacy policy which you should read before you share any personal information, because we cannot guarantee they adhere to the same privacy practices. If you do not want your information to be collected by or shared with a company other than ours, you can choose not to opt in or participate in these events at the time the personal information is collected or requested;
- We may also disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law, or if (in good faith) such action is necessary to comply with legal processes, to respond to any claims, or to protect the safety or rights of Pernod Ricard, its customers, or the public;
- In the event of a merger or acquisition of all or part of Pernod Ricard by another company, or in the event that Pernod Ricard were to sell or dispose of all or a part of the Pernod Ricard business. In this case the acquirer would have access to the information maintained by that Pernod Ricard business, which could include personal information, subject to applicable law. Similarly, personal information may be transferred as part of a corporate re-organisation, insolvency proceeding, or other similar event, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable law;
- We may share aggregated demographic or survey information with third parties, but this information is in anonymous form and does not contain any personal information. The aggregate information that we share may include anonymous information that is captured through the use of cookies and other similar tracking technology, as explained in Article 2.
6. Is your personal information sent to recipients located in other countries and why?
Pernod Ricard is a global company and your personal information may be transferred across international borders. It may be transferred to countries that have different data protection laws to the country from where you submitted your personal information.

Pernod Ricard takes appropriate steps to maintain the security of personal information both during transit and at the storage location by implementing contractual clauses which comply with applicable laws. You can check a list of countries where Pernod Ricard has an affiliate likely to receive your personal information here.

8. How do we keep your personal information secure?
Pernod Ricard takes all necessary technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information collected from our Digital Services, including sensitive personal information.
