We, Bottega Veneta, 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 organisational security measures, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised 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 specialised personal information security management system. For example, we strictly control the scope of authorisation of our employees who have access to the personal information that we collect and process. We thus disclose or provide access to your personal information only on a strict need to know basis to our employees or to the third parties listed in the section With whom do we share your personal information?, and only through secured systems. We regularly review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against any unauthorised access and use.

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 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.
Please also note that in order to keep your personal information secure, we may from time to time, have to reset your password.
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 yourpersonal informationhas been put at risk, for example if someone could have found out your password, please contact usas soon as possible.

The information in your Bottega Veneta profile is crucial to provide you with the Bottega Veneta personalized and tailored experience, and in some cases is necessary in order to access to some specific services or to purchase from our website, and thus it needs to be kept up to date for the best experience.
Once you have asked us to create yourBottega Venetaprofile, we will supplement it with personal information such as your purchases, preferences and contact details.In this context, please be aware that we use personal identification information, such as your email address or phone number, to link an interaction or a purchase with yourBottega Venetaprofile. This also applieswhen checking-out as a guest on our website when making a purchase, as mentioned above, or in case you bind your social media open ID account with yourBottega Venetaprofile (by using dedicated QR Codes for example).

Your personal information, in particular yourBottega Venetaprofile if you have created one or thetemporaryrecordwe may create about you, could enable our sales associates to contact you directly in relation to the products and services you have purchased or otherwise requested, such as when a product becomes available again or when an order you have placed has been received in store, or to share with you any other information you have requested from us.
Your use of our websites may be recorded or monitored using "session replay" which allows us to see how you interact with our website, including your mouse movements,key strokes, or other interactions. This allows us to provide better customer service to you and to improve the quality of our products and services.
In addition, the monitoring of our interaction (including, with prior notice to you,via voice or video recording– such as real time listening or analysis – or listening in real time,) enables us to improve the quality and safety of our services and to provide you with tailored answers.
All our customers are important to us. However, some of our customers and potential customers benefit from a more personalized experience due to the important relationship they keep withBottega Veneta. Our teams may need to collect and gather information on such customers or potential customers in order to identify personalities who correspond to the image and values ofBottega Venetato offer them unique support.

When, as a user, you decide to interact with our social media pages (e.g. when you follow one of our pages, when you click "Like" on Facebook or "Follow" on Instagram or add a reaction to a post, when you "share" or add a "comment", etc.), we have access to public information in your profile.

To conduct our business securely and protect our activities and personnel.
To deliver our products and services safely to you, perform our contract properly or comply with some of our legal obligations, we will implement fraud prevention and detection measures. Such measures will allow us to adequately perform our contract with you and/or protect our legitimate interests in defending ourselves against fraud. We may notably implement measures to ensure that you are complying with our terms and conditions for sales, available on this website, offers and programs, and to prevent and detect non-compliance or fraud by you. This may include reviewing and assessing your dealings with us, your eligibility to participate in certain sales, offers and programs, your compliance with the terms and conditions of such sales, offers and programs, and undertaking enforcement action and/or disciplinary action where such non-compliance or fraud is suspected or identified.
We may use administrative and technical measures to protect, our website, our systems,our networks, transactions occurring on our website or in our stores, and any other necessary means to protect the personal information we may access or store. For this purpose, we may also be required to verify your identity or to take note of any suspicious or actual non-compliance with our terms and conditions or fraud we incurred with respect to your dealings with us. Such measures may also be implemented for compliance purposes or to avoid sharing your personal information with any untrusted third parties. For example, when you purchase a product, your personal information will be associated with a unique code placed into and/or printed on such product so that by reading the unique code we can recognize the order as yours, to enable us to assess your compliance with our terms and conditions or to detect fraud by you, and to take enforcement and/or disciplinary action against you in the event of suspected or identified non-compliance or fraud by you.
In addition, we may implement certain measures to protect and defend our rights and property, our employees and our business partners in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and international conventions.For example,we can monitor our inbound and outbound interaction with our customer service (including via voice or video recording or listening in real time, with prior notice to you); also, mindful of the health of our employees, and for this sole purpose, we implement an anti-malicious calls procedure so that any occurrence of inappropriate behaviors such as harassment, insults or direct threats from users will be reported to our dedicated team. This will generate a warning to the concerned user and they will be recorded on our provisional list. The initial warning will set out the consequences of a second incident occurring. A second incident will lead to the suspension of any further calls from the user in question for a period of 4 months.During this period, the user will still be able to contact our customer services by other communication channels (e.g., regular mail or email) so we can attend their queries and preserve their rights at any given time.

To conduct our business securely and protect our activities and personnel.
To deliver our products and services safely to you, perform our contract properly or comply with some of our legal obligations, we will implement fraud prevention and detection measures. Such measures will allow us to adequately perform our contract with you and/or protect our legitimate interests in defending ourselves against fraud. We may notably implement measures to ensure that you are complying with our terms and conditions for sales, available in this website, offers and programs, and to prevent and detect non-compliance or fraud by you. This may include reviewing and assessing your dealings with us, your eligibility to participate in certain sales, offers and programs, your compliance with the terms and conditions of such sales, offers and programs, and undertaking enforcement action and/or disciplinary action where such non-compliance or fraud is suspected or identified.
We may use administrative and technical measures to protect, our website, our systems, our networks, transactions occurring on our website or in our stores, and any other necessary means to protect the personal information we may access or store. For this purpose,we may also be required to verify your identity or to take note of any suspicious or actual non-compliance with our terms and conditions or fraud we incurred with respect to your dealings with us. Such measures may also be implemented for compliance purposes or to avoid sharing your personal information with any untrusted third parties. For example, when you purchase a product, your personal information will be associated with a unique code placed into and/or printed on such product so that by reading the unique code we can recognize the order as yours, to enable us to assess your compliance with our terms and conditions or to detect fraud by you, and to take enforcement and/or disciplinary action against you in the event of suspected or identified non-compliance or fraud by you.
In addition, we may implement certain measures to protect and defend our rights and property, our employees and our business partners in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and international conventions.For example,we can monitor our inbound and outbound interaction with our customer service (including via voice or video recording or listening in real time, with prior notice to you); also, mindful of the health of our employees, and for this sole purpose, we implement an anti-malicious calls procedure so that any occurrence of inappropriate behaviors such as harassment, insults or direct threats from users will be reported to our dedicated team. This will generate a warning to the concerned user and they will be recorded on our provisional list. The initial warning will set out the consequences of a second incident occurring. A second incident will lead to the suspension of any further calls from the user in question for a period of 4 months. During this period, the user will still be able to contact our customer services by other communication channels (e.g., regular mail or email) so we can attend their queries and preserve their rights at any given time.
The purposes for which we process your personal information are as follows:
Implementing fraud prevention, detection and investigation measures and procedures against inappropriate behaviors against our employees to ensure physical security and cybersecurity,to safely deliver you products and servicesand to protect the health of our employees,also via voice or video recording or listening in real time both inbound and outbound conversations with our customer service, with prior notice to you.

California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 Corporate Disclosure
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) requires California businesses to disclose their efforts to address the issues of slavery and human trafficking, thereby allowing consumers to make better, more-informed choices regarding the products they buy and the companies they choose to support.
Bottega Veneta has taken steps to evaluate the risks of forced labor in our supply chain. Within Bottega Veneta, procurement falls into two broad categories: (1) sourcing of raw materials such as textiles and leather; and (2) procurement of other types of goods and services to support the day-to-day running of our operations, such as energy, manufacturing, and office equipment. Although the social impact of the goods and services that Bottega Veneta purchases often lies outside our direct control, where possible, we have taken proactive steps to ensure the absence of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain.
Bottega Veneta is part of Kering (formerly “PPR”), which has certified several of its businesses under Social Accountability International’s (SAI) SA8000 standard. SA8000 sets out a strong approach concerning forced labor and provides guidance to suppliers and business partners regarding responsible sourcing. SA8000 includes an endorsement by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Among other things, SA8000 specifically forbids the use of forced or involuntary labor as defined in ILO Convention 29, including employment of people under the age of 15, unless a higher age is required by law, in which case the higher age applies. While several of Kering’s businesses have certification under SA8000, Kering continues its commitment to bring all of its businesses into compliance with SA8000 and obtain certification.
As part of SA8000, Bottega Veneta’s suppliers, subcontractors and subsuppliers will be required to make a written commitment to all SA8000 requirements, participate in monitoring activities as requested by Bottega Veneta, promptly resolve any nonconformance with SA8000, and notify Bottega Veneta concerning any relevant business relationships. Moreover, by virtue of our adherence to SA8000, Bottega Veneta will be subject to announced and unannounced audits to determine compliance with the SA8000 standard, and Bottega Veneta’s suppliers are subject to the same. Kering’s standard supply agreements refer to and adopt the SA8000 requirements, obligating its suppliers to comply with the standard. The brands of Kering also often use several of the same suppliers, subcontractors and subsuppliers, so to the extent that certain businesses of Kering are already certified, other businesses of Kering that are not yet certified have been well positioned to be in compliance with SA8000 and obtain formal certification.
Kering’s internal policies also articulate its determination to rid its supply chain of human trafficking and forced labor. For example, Kering’s Code of Ethics states that its businesses will not tolerate child or forced labor in the production of its products.
Bottega Veneta expects and depends on our managers and employees to uphold a zero-tolerance policy regarding forced labor. As such, Bottega Veneta has taken steps to increase employee awareness and compliance regarding slavery and human trafficking issues. Kering’s Code of Ethics is provided to all employees and suppliers. Employees are encouraged to report violations of the Code of Ethics. Moreover, as part of SA8000 certification, the standard will be displayed at business locations to inform personnel about Kering’s voluntary commitment to this standard and its requirements. Kering will provide a confidential way for Bottega Veneta personnel to report nonconformance with SA8000 to management and, where appropriate, Bottega Veneta provides and requires specific training programs regarding supply chain issues.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
12.1. This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between You and Seller. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to You (such as our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever You also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.
12.2. This Provision provides that all disputes between You and the Seller shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of these Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means You would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). BOTH YOU AND SELLER AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
12.3. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing us at https://www.bottegaveneta.com the following information: (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) A written description of Your Claim, and (4) A description of the specific relief You seek. If we do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving Your notification, then You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
12.4. Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out
Notwithstanding the above, You or Seller may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing us at https://www.bottegaveneta.com the following information: (1) Your name; (2) Your address; (3) A clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with us. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
12.5. Arbitration Procedures
If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either You or Seller may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.
For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.
Because these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration – You or Seller may initiate arbitration in either New York or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address. In the event that You select the latter, we may transfer the arbitration to New York so long as we agree to pay any additional fees or costs which the arbitrator determines You incur as a result of the transfer.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as You place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, we will pay all arbitration fees and associated costs and expenses. But, You will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
12.6. Class Action Waiver
Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both You and we specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of this Website can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
12.7. Jury Waiver
You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, You and Seller are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and Seller might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
12.8. Severability
If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.
13. GENERAL
13.1. The headings used in these Terms are for reference purposes only and do not have contractual or binding effect.
13.2. If any provision herein is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected. In such event, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a provision that comes closest to the original intent of the invalid or unenforceable provision or will be modified to conform to the most expansive permissible reading under the law consistent with the intention of the invalid or unenforceable provision.
13.3. The terms and conditions set forth herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding between You and Seller with respect to the subject matter set forth herein and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications or proposals, whether written or oral.
13.4. Seller’s waiver of any provision of these Terms, failure to insist on strict performance of any term herein or failure to take advantage of any of its rights with respect to these Terms will not operate to excuse performance or waive any such right to require strict performance at any future time.
13.5. The Seller may freely transfer its rights and/or obligations under these Terms to another entity.
