PRIVACY POLICY
FOR THE PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL WORLDS Effective Date: October 9th 2020
1. WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND DO OTHER POLICIES APPLY TO YOU?
This privacy policy covers situations where we, Kering Fondation, access, collect, store process, use, disclose or transfer your personal information in paper or electronic form. It also covers situations where approved partners or other members of Kering use your personal information on our behalf. In some cases, other policies apply to you. It may be the case when you use certain products or services, and in this event: • You will be notified of these other policies while using the services they apply to. • Such policies will supersede this privacy policy unless they expressly refer to it. This privacy policy does not cover products or services you might use as provided by other companies acting on their own account.
Our Privacy Policy does not apply to services provided by other companies acting on their own behalf, such as franchisees or licensees, nor does it apply to when you share information via social media (WeChat, WhatsApp, Baidu, Kakao Talk, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) or other online platforms owned and operated by other companies. These other companies have their own privacy policies in place. Therefore, please remember that how these companies use the personal data you provide will be subject to their rules and policies, not ours.
2. WHO COLLECTS & USES YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We, Kering Foundation, act as the “data controller”, which means that we determine “why” and “how” your personal information is collected and used. We are a French Corporate Foundation governed by Law No. 87-571 of July 23, 1987 as amended, and published in the Journal Officiel de la République Française legal gazette dated August 23, 2008, located in 40 RUE DE SEVRES 75007 PARIS.
To be able to deliver our services to you, we need to share your personal information with approved partners or other members of Kering who generally act as our “data processors”. All are bound by an obligation to implement appropriate security measures to protect personal data in their possession, and are bound by a strict confidentiality agreement and specific contractual terms on “how” and “when” they are allowed to use your personal information on our behalf.
Please be aware that certain approved partners, such as our franchisees and licensees or social media, could also determine “why” and “how” your personal information is used. They have their own privacy and cookies policies, so remember that the personal information you give them will be subject to their rules and not ours.
Your local legislation may not use the terms “controller” and “processor”, but, respectively, terms such as “data user”, “owner”, “company”, “responsible party”, etc., for the controller, and “data intermediary”, “operator”, etc., for the processor. To help you understand our role, we, Kering, are the entity that decides the methods and purposes of processing your personal data, by determining “why” and “how” your data is collected and used. Our “processors” are the entities that use your personal data on our behalf, based on our instructions as to “how” and “when” these entities are authorized to use it.
3. WHY DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Kering Fondation will collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes described in this section. The processing of your personal information will comply with your privacy legislation and rely on the legal bases set out in this section. If you would like more information on the purposes and legal bases, you can contact us at privacy@kering.com (or see How can you contact us?).
• To optimize and manage our website and other means of communication.
We may take certain measures involving the use of your personal information to administer, optimize and improve our means of digital or physical communications such as our website.
The use of your personal information will allow us to perform our contractual obligations or improve our services in accordance with our legitimate interest. Of course, when we use cookies or other online advertising technologies, your prior consent will always be required.
4. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
When you interact with us or our approved partners, you may provide us with the following categories of personal information (that may include sensitive information in accordance with applicable legislation).
A. Identifiers & personal information
This set of personal information enables us to identify you, provide you with customer service and assistance and, in some cases, to contact you, including by sending you relevant information and tailored marketing content on the ground of the legal bases set out in this privacy policy.
The list below is provided to give you an overview of the type of data we may collect. However, the collection of this data is not systematic: only the data necessary to achieve each purpose will be collected and used.
This data may include, where your applicable data protection legislation allows us to collect such personal data, your first name, last name, screen name, signature, email address, postal address, date of birth, place of birth, login ID, telephone number, unique personal identifier, customer number, online identifier, social media accounts (and related information collected through your connection to social media sites), gender, country of residence, lifestyle/interests, Internet Protocol (IP) address, account name, social security number, national identity card number, driver's license number, passport number, nationality, or other similar identifiers, physical characteristics or description. We will take steps to limit the data that is collected to what is necessary in light of the purposes for which it is processed.
In some countries, certain personal data may be considered sensitive, special, or protected. We will only collect and use this data when there is no other feasible option, and we will always comply with applicable data protection legislation to collect, protect, and securely use your personal data (including asking for your consent where necessary).
If you are an employee of a Kering entity, we may process certain information concerning your employment, and we invite you to refer to the employee privacy policy that has been made available to you.
B. User-generated content
This set of personal information enables you to provide us with personal information relating to you or to third parties. In certain circumstances it enables us to contact you.
The list below is provided to give you an overview of the type of data we may collect. However, the collection of this data is not systematic: only the data necessary to achieve each purpose will be collected and used. This data may include photos of you or other people, or any other type of content such as texts, feedback, opinions, personal data about other individuals that you may provide to us (for example, if you share personal data with our sales staff or via social media), the act of "tagging" or "liking" our social media page or any content published by us, or any personal data that you may put in the public domain. You can remove this content at any time, if you no longer wish to use it. You will avoid sharing personal data of third parties by these means, or ensure that you have obtained prior authorization from these third parties before sharing said data.
C. Technical, electronic & localization information
This set of personal information enables better delivery of the service you expect from us.
It could include personal information related to your interactions with us and allows us to provide relevant customer service and tailored marketing content, establish communications and conduct our business securely, assess and better understand our business, and optimise and manage our website and other means of communication.
The list below is provided to give you an overview of the type of data we may collect. However, the collection of this data is not systematic: only the data necessary to achieve each purpose will be collected and used. This can happen when you contact our customer service (why are you contacting us? what method did you use to contact us?), or when you use our website (are you using a tablet? A phone? A computer? How do you use our website?). Some personal data will be shared with us automatically by the device or service provider you use (e.g., social media). We may collect personal data shared by your device, such as your IP address, the type of device you use, the unique identification number of the device (Device ID), browser type, time zone setting, broad geographic location (e.g., country or city); your online activity (such as information about your internet or other electronic network activity, including, but not limited to, your browsing history, search history, and information about your interaction with websites, applications, or advertisements) and other technical personal data or personal data shared by the service provider. These service providers have their own privacy policies and cookie policies. Please remember, therefore, that the personal data you provide to them will be subject to their rules and policies and not ours. Additionally, we may be able to collect personal data about how you interacted with us, including certain personal browsing data (including the pages you accessed, the links you clicked on, bugs and errors, your browsing habits) and your preferences (such as your language preferences). Some of this personal data may be collected using cookies or other online advertising technologies.

Please note that the categories mentioned in this section What personal information do we collect? also represent the categories of personal information that we have collected over the past 12 months.
We will always try to avoid collecting and using the data listed below. However, this collection and use may occur when no other options are available. In this case, we will take steps to minimize the data that is collected, use the highest level of care, and always comply with applicable data protection legislation (including asking for your consent where required). The data concerned may include marital status, disability, sex, national origin, religion, color, race, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, marital status, veteran status, health status, ancestry, source of income, age, or genetic data.

More broadly, we collect your personal data through any means you might use to interact with our staff, whether through our customer service by phone, email, chat or SMS.

These companies have their own privacy policies and cookie policies. Therefore, please remember that the personal data you provide to them is subject to their rules and not ours.
7. WHO ARE OUR THIRD-PARTY SOURCES?
We mainly obtain information directly from you. From time to time, we may also obtain information on you from third-party sources. We will only gather such information when the third parties either have obtained your consent or are otherwise legally allowed to share such information. In certain limited circumstances, some third parties may be required to disclose your personal information to us. For more information on our sharing of information with these third-party sources, please refer to the section With whom do we share your personal information?

8. SHOULD YOU ALWAYS SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH US?
You may not always be required to provide us with the personal information that we are asking you for: any personal information that is required is clearly marked as mandatory.
When you do not wish to share certain personal information with us, you may simply not provide it to us, or opt-out of the processing of your personal information when this option is offered to you. However, if you choose not to provide certain personal information, you may not be able to benefit from some of our services for which the provision of such personal information is necessary.
We may ask you to provide us with personal information to meet certain legal requirements. In such cases, we will notify you in due time and advise you as to whether your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
9. FOR HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Our general approach is to retain your personal information only for as long as it is needed.
A. When we use cookies or other online advertising technologies, your consent shall only be valid for a maximum period of 13 months.
We may retain personal information for a shorter or longer time, for instance, where we are obliged to do so in accordance with relevant legal, tax and accounting requirements.
Before deleting your personal data, we will contact you to inform you of this deletion. You can then ask us to retain your personal data. By not responding, you agree to the deletion of any personal data that we are not legally required to retain for longer periods to comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
We will destroy your personal data without delay when it is no longer necessary (for example, if the purposes for which the personal data were collected/used have been fulfilled, or if the statutory limitation period has expired), and will destroy it in such a way that it is no longer possible to restore or recover it. Personal data, if printed on paper, will be destroyed by shredding, incineration, or any other similar method. If stored electronically, personal data will be destroyed by technical means that ensure that the data in question can no longer be restored or recovered once destroyed.
In some cases, we may also retain your personal data for a longer period, in accordance with the applicable limitation period, so that we can maintain an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any disputes or claims.
10. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We, Kering Fondation, are strongly committed to keeping your personal information safe.
To do so, we design our services with your safety in mind. Within our group, we have dedicated teams managing and ensuring the security and privacy of your personal information. We have adopted specific technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.
For example, whenever personal information is passed between your device and our servers, we ensure that it is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) and/or other security methods. We implement Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (“HTTPS”) in order to protect your connection to our website. All your personal information is stored on secured servers.
We have also established a specialized personal information security management system. For example, we strictly control the scope of authorization of our employees who have access to the personal information that we collect and process. We regularly review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against any unauthorized access and use.
We conduct security and privacy protection training courses and tests on a regular basis to enhance our employees’ awareness of the importance of protecting personal information. We take commercially reasonable steps to make sure that our business partners and third-party service providers are able to protect your personal information. Our employees and those of our business partners and third-party service providers who have access to your personal information are subject to enforceable contractual obligations of confidentiality and specific contractual privacy provisions.
In the event of a security incident resulting in any breach of personal information, as qualified by law, we have an emergency response plan in place to prevent the expansion of such security incidents. In addition, we will report such personal information breach to the relevant supervisory authority as required by applicable law, and inform you via an appropriate channel as and where required by applicable law.
However, you should be aware that no service can be completely secure, and you play a key role in keeping your personal information safe. For the best possible protection of your personal information outside the limits of our control, your devices should be protected (e.g. by updated antivirus software) and your internet service providers should take appropriate measures for the security of personal information transmission over the network (e.g. with firewalls and anti-spam filtering). You accept the inherent security implications of interacting over the Internet and will not hold us or our partners responsible for any security incident or breach of personal information unless it is due to our negligence.
If you have any concerns that your personal information has been put at risk, please contact us as soon as possible.
11. WHERE DO WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We operate globally and may transfer your personal information to other companies within Kering or to approved partners in locations around the world. We want you to have the best service and customer experience, whether online or in person all over the world. For this purpose, we may have to share your personal information outside the country where you have first shared it with us. When we do so, it will always be for the purposes described in this privacy policy and where we are satisfied with the levels of protection and security implemented in compliance with applicable privacy legislation. This sharing of your personal information is necessary to enable us to perform the contracts we have with you or take steps at your request, prior to entering into a contract, in order to offer you a global customer experience.
In most cases, the personal information we collect from you will be stored in servers located in the European Union or Switzerland. However, this may vary depending on the country in which the information is collected or applicable legislation. For more information about the location where your personal information is stored, you can contact us at privacy@kering.com (or see How can you contact us?).
We want to ensure that your personal information is always safely used and available to you, wherever you want to access it and for whatever reason you wish to use it.
When we share, use or transfer personal information in particular from the European Union, we use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or put in place other measures under applicable privacy legislation, to ensure that such transfer provides adequate safeguards. You can contact us at privacy@kering.com (or see How can you contact us?) for more information about these safeguards including how to obtain copies of this information.
12. DO WE SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We do not sell your personal information and have not done so in the past 12 months.
We may allow selected third parties (such as approved advertising partners) to collect your personal information via automated technologies on our websites (see “Do we use cookies or other online advertising technologies?”) in an effort to provide you with content and advertisements that may be of interest to you and on the legal bases set out in this privacy policy.
However, to the extent our transfers of your personal information to certain third parties may be interpreted as a “sale” under California privacy law, if you are a Californian resident you have the right to opt out of that sale.
If you are a Californian resident, you also have the right to opt out of such disclosure of your information for online interest-based advertising purposes.
Californian residents’ rights are further described in the section: “Information for Californian residents” under the provision attached to the following question: “What are my rights regarding my personal information?”

We will endeavor to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any case within the applicable timeframe.
In some countries (for example, if you are a resident of California), if you ask us to provide you with certain specific personal data, we will ask you to sign a sworn statement confirming that you are the person whose personal data is the subject of the request.
If you designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf to access, delete, or opt out of the sale of data, (a) we may require you to provide the authorized agent with written authorization to do so, and (b) for access and deletion requests, we may require you to directly confirm your identity to us.

We may occasionally make changes to this privacy policy, for example to comply with new requirements imposed by applicable laws or technical requirements. We will post the updated privacy policy on our website. We therefore encourage you to review this page every so often.
We may also notify you in case of material changes and, where required by applicable law, we will seek your consent to those changes.
If we wish to process your personal information for a new purpose not described in this privacy policy, where necessary we will inform you and where required we will seek your consent.

A. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data (text file) that a website asks your browser to place on your device when you visit it to remember information about you, such as your language preferences or login details. These cookies are set by us and are called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain other than the website you are visiting – for our marketing and advertising efforts.
B. Why do we use cookies? Cookies are used for various purposes, such as allowing the user to navigate easily from one page to another, implementing user preferences, and improving the overall browsing experience by customizing the website based on the user's browsing. Cookies can also help us ensure that the advertisements the user sees online are more relevant to them and their interests.
C. What types of cookies do we use?
Our website uses different types of cookies, which have different validity periods. In particular, we use: - session cookies, which only last for the duration of a browsing session and facilitate your experience on our website; and - persistent cookies, which last longer than one visit and remember your preferred settings regarding our website.
These cookies can also be categorized as follows, depending on who sets them on our website: - First-party cookies, which are provided by the publisher of the website you are visiting, so that the site functions correctly. - Third-party cookies, which are set on the website by third parties, and which aim to collect data in different ways and for various purposes, such as: collecting analytical data and information on social interactions and behaviors, and for promotional activities.

Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of this site will not then work. These cookies do not contain information that personally identifies you.
Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, these services, or some of them, may not function properly.
Profiling and targeting cookies
These cookies may be placed through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by these companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store personal data directly but are used to uniquely identify your browser and the device from which you access the internet. If you do not allow these cookies, you will see less targeted advertising.
Social media cookies
These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the site and which enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They can track your browser across other sites and build up a profile based on your interests. They may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.
