1. What Is Movado Group?

4. When Does this Privacy Policy Apply?

This Privacy Policy applies any time a company within the Movado Group processes personal information, whether itself or through someone else. Some common examples of situations in which this Privacy Policy applies include: when you visit or interact with a website, feature, or online service that is owned or controlled by a company within the Movado Group, whether accessed via computer, mobile device, or otherwise (collectively, the “Websites”); when you purchase a product or service, whether through one of our Websites or at a Movado Company Store; when we provide after-sales service; when we answer customer inquiries; when you connect with us via “smart” wearable devices, social media channels, at our events, through sweepstakes and promotions, in response to surveys, and via emails, chats, text messages, or telephone; and when you seek a job within the Movado Group or are employed by a Movado Group company.

 

However, this Privacy Policy does not apply to uses, products, or services that are not owned or controlled by Movado Group. For example, our Websites may provide links to non-Movado Group websites, apps, plug-ins, or services. Moreover, certain content on our Websites may be hosted and served by third parties that Movado Group does not control. In addition, our products and services may be made available to you through third-party platforms (such as providers of app stores) or through other third-party channels (such as other retailers’ stores). The collection and use of your information by such third parties and through such third-party channels is subject to the policies and practices of those third parties, for which Movado Group is not responsible. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site and channel you visit.

Movado Group has contracted with U.S. Direct E-Commerce Limited, trading as eShopWorld, a company registered in Ireland under company registered number 479237, to make certain Movado Group products sold through some of our ecommerce sites available in select international markets. Consumers placing an order through eShopWorld will be subject to eShopWorld’s terms and conditions of sale and privacy policies and practices. eShopWorld will guide consumers through the steps they need to take to place an order and make a payment through them and, after the order has been placed, eShopWorld will be responsible for order fulfilment, returns, and customer support.

As part of the provision of these services, eShopWorld and Movado Group will be sharing consumers’ personal data. Consumers are urged to carefully read eShopWorld’s privacy policy, which is available here, before proceeding to make a purchase through eShopWorld. Movado Group will treat any personal data shared with it by eShopWorld in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Consumers wishing to make a data privacy request after placing an order through eShopWorld will need to consult eShopWorld’s directions to learn how to submit their requests directly to eShopWorld.

5. How Will I Know About Changes to this Privacy Policy?

The easiest way to know when our Privacy Policy was last updated is to look at the Effective Date stated at the very top of the Privacy Policy. Any changes, updates, or modifications will be effective immediately on that date. You may obtain a copy of a prior policy by Contacting Us.

Movado Group reserves the right, at any time and without notice, to add to, change, update, or modify this Privacy Policy simply by posting such change, update, or modification. However, if we make changes to our Privacy Policy that materially impact our use of personal information about you that we collected prior to the date of such changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you. Accordingly, it is important that we have accurate and current contact information for you. You may update your information with us by updating your account or by Contacting Us, and we will use good faith efforts to make the requested changes in our then-active databases as soon as reasonably practicable. However, prior information may persist internally for our administrative purposes, and residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons.

Your continued interactions with Movado Group, including your continued use of the Websites, following the posting or notice of a revised privacy policy means that you have accepted and agreed to the terms of the revised privacy policy.

Please check this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of our most recent policy and practices.

6. What Is Personal Information?

The definition of personal information, or personal data, varies from country to country and state to state.  For example, the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland have defined personal data as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.  In contrast, the State of California has defined personal information as information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.  As you can see, these definitions overlap, but they are not the same.

While it is important to understand what personal information is, it is equally important to understand what personal information is not. Personal information does not include deidentified, aggregated, anonymized, or pseudonymized data.

Deidentified data is information that cannot reasonably identify or be connected to a particular person. Aggregated, anonymized and pseudonymized data are subtypes of deidentified information. In each instance, identifying links have been removed.

Aggregated data is information that relates to a group of individuals and from which individual information has been removed.  Aggregated data may be derived from your personal information but is not itself personal information.  For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data with Usage Data from others to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Website feature.  However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it can directly or indirectly reasonably identify you, then we will treat the combined data as personal information.

Anonymized data is information where the direct identifier has been removed, but the information still refers to a single user or account. Pseudonymization replaces the original identifier with a different identifier. For example, we may remove your name and replace it with a series of numbers. While anonymized or pseudonymized data may once have been personal information, after the links to identity are removed it no longer is.

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we will talk about personal information generally and about certain categories or types of personal information. While we try to apply a single definition of personal information globally, our processes are intended to align with the applicable legal definition. So please keep in mind that some of the information we discuss in this Privacy Policy may not be considered personal information under the law that applies to you. In that case, this Privacy Policy should not be interpreted to provide greater rights than you have under applicable law.

9. What Types of Cookies, Pixel Tags, or other Automated Means Does Movado Group Use?

When you go to our Websites, open our emails, use our apps or “smart” wearable devices, interact with Movado Group-related social media sites or tools, widgets, or plug-ins (all digital and physical sources, our “Sites”), we and third parties may collect and log certain information by automated means, such as cookies, pixel tags, embedded scripts, and flash LSOs (collectively, “Cookies”).

A “cookie” is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser or the hard drive of your computer or other electronic device like a tablet or smart phone. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.

“Pixel tags” (also called clear GIFs, 1x1 GIFs, web beacons, pixels, tracking pixels, web bugs, tracking bugs, tags, web tags, and page tags) are small blocks of code on a webpage or email that allow websites to do things like read and place cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s device, pixel tags are embedded in web pages or other content. The resulting connection can unobtrusively (usually invisibly) allow the collection of “clickstream data,” which is information about the links and other content a user views while, for example, browsing a site or reading an email.

“Embedded scripts” are programming code designed to collect information about your interactions with the Sites, such as the links you click. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third party and is active only while you are connected to the Sites.

“Flash LSOs” (also called flash cookies) are local shared objects used to store your preferences for volume control or to personalize certain video features. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data and how the data is stored.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” Cookies. A persistent Cookie will be stored and will remain valid until its set expiration date, unless deleted by the user before the expiration date. They basically allow us to remember your preferences, such as language and other local settings, to make your next visit faster and easier. A session Cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session when the web browser is closed. We and the third parties we permit to place Cookies on our Sites use session Cookies to manage and measure your access and use during a single browser session. They ensure the best performance of the electronic service we offer through our Sites.

Cookies also may be described as “internal” or “external” Cookies. Internal Cookies, also known as first-party Cookies, are placed by us and can only be read by us. For example, we use first-party Cookies to speed up the log-in process or enhance your user experience. External Cookies, also known as third-party Cookies, are placed by external companies and are used to analyze and measure audience and to improve the relevance of our Sites’ content and electronic services, among other things. Aside from placing Cookies ourselves, we also allow carefully-selected external parties to set third-party Cookies during your visit to our Sites. These organizations provide us with information on your use of the Sites. They also may use Cookies to promote our newest products and latest offers to you on other sites. For example, you may see products you viewed on our Sites presented on other sites as you navigate the internet. Some of these external parties may use your location to provide more relevant messaging.

There are several types of persistent and session Cookies, and internal and external Cookies, including:

Movado Group also uses cookies to collect information around abandoned shopping carts. A cart is considered abandoned within one hour of inactivity/lack of purchase. Once the cart is considered abandoned, Movado Group may send an SMS message as a reminder.

A complete listing of all of the types of information and uses of Cookies is not practicable, and the examples described above should not be considered exhaustive. However, our uses will be of the general nature described.

  • Strictly necessary Cookies: These are technically mandatory Cookies that are required for the operation of our Sites. They include, for example, Cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Sites, use a shopping cart, make use of ecommerce and payment services, or engage with customer service.
  • Functional Cookies: These are used to perform functions, such as storing your shopping cart selections while you continue to shop and navigate to different pages of our Sites. They also allow us to determine when your cart selections are about to be or have been abandoned and recognize you when you return to one of our Sites. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region), and send you abandoned cart reminders. Functional Cookies also help us direct consumers to their appropriate Site and to determine whether an order is valid.
  • Analytical or performance Cookies:These Cookies help us improve the quality of our Sites and our services by collecting information to assess how you use our Sites.  For example, analytical Cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Sites when they are using them. This helps us to improve the way our Sites work; for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.  This is known as web analytics, and we use tools such as Google Analytics, Daasity, and Lucky Orange for this function.  We use web analytics to provide aggregate and anonymous statistics on how our Sites are used; to see how effective our advertisements are by identifying where you click and from which site you arrived; to provide feedback to carefully selected outside companies that one of our visitors also visited their site; to help us improve the Site by capturing errors in your browsing experience; and to provide you with improved Site functionality.
  • Targeting & Advertising Cookies: These Cookies record your visit to our Sites, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We and selected external parties use this information to make our Sites and the advertising displayed on them more relevant to your interests. We also may share this information with third parties to provide third party advertisements targeted to your interest. These Cookies help us evaluate and optimize our advertising campaigns on third-party platforms, such as sponsored posts on social media or banners on other sites, according to the preferences expressed by users of these third-party platforms.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT THROUGH COOKIES?

Most of the information captured by Cookies will not directly identify you. The data we collect through Cookies may include unique device identifier; browser characteristics; device characteristics; operating system; language preferences; referring URLs; information on actions taken on our site; dates and times of Site visits, downloads, and activations. In some circumstances, however, Cookies do collect and/or log personal information.

SETTING AND CHANGING YOUR COOKIE SETTINGS

When visiting one of our Sites on a particular device, you may see a banner that allows you to accept or reject certain types of Cookies. After you have made your selection, the banner will not appear again on that device for that Site for a period of time unless you clear your Cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, please be aware that disabling, blocking, or deleting Cookies in your browser settings may impact your experience on all sites you visit, not just our Sites. Should you wish to change your Cookies settings for our Sites only, you may use the Manage My Cookies tool.

Please remember that you may need to repeat your Cookies selection on each separate device you use to access our Sites and for each individual Site you visit.

Additionally, some third parties may provide services to help you opt out of receiving online advertisements from their networks. Visit: http://optout.networkadvertising.org for more information. Movado Group is not responsible for these third party services.

If you choose not to change your Cookies settings and you proceed to navigate through our Sites, then you are affirmatively agreeing to the Site’s default Cookies settings (which may vary by location), and you are allowing us to use and share all information (including personal information) collected through the dropped Cookies for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in any other notice at collection.

13. What Should I Know About Third Party Interactions?

Certain functionality on our Sites may permit interactions that you initiate between the Sites and a third-party website or service (“Third Party Interactions”). For example, you may be invited: (a) to “like” or “share” content from the Sites on or to other websites or services, (b) to transmit content to the Sites from your account on a third party website or services account, (c) to apply for or use purchase financing or other third-party services related to your transaction (such as PayPal, Apple Pay, Stripe, Shopify, Affirm, Klarna, etc.), (d) to enable discounts and promotions available through third party sites, such as Rakuten and Honey, (e) to submit a review, (f) to register for an account and login through social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter (each an “SNS”), or (g) to otherwise connect the Sites to a third party website or services, such as through an application programming interface (API) made available by Movado Group or a third party

MGI has entered into agreements with its subsidiaries resident in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland to ensure that adequate protection be given to personal information transferred from the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland to the United States or other places not deemed to provide ‘adequate protection.’  These agreements are based on “standard contractual clauses” promulgated by the EU, United Kingdom, and Swiss governments.  Copies of the non-confidential provisions of these agreements are available by Contacting us

When Movado Group transfers personal information to service providers it undertakes to obtain assurances that the information will be used consistently with Movado Group’s instructions, this Privacy Policy, and/or law.  If the personal data from a resident of the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland is transferred out of the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, then we undertake to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:  (i) confirming that the European Commission has determined that the country provides an adequate level of protection for personal data; (ii) using specific contracts approved by the European Commission or Switzerland that give personal data the same level of protection it has in the EEA or Switzerland; (iii) using providers based in the transferee countries under arrangements approved by the European Commission; or (iv) putting contractual provisions in place that provide appropriate data protections.

If you are a resident of the EEA, United Kingdom or Switzerland, please Contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA or Switzerland.

15. What Are Movado Group’s Data Security Practices?

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alternation, access, disclosure or use. While no safeguards are infallible, we take data security seriously and believe that we have implemented appropriate measures to minimize the risk of data breaches. However, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted over the internet, and we do not warrant the security of any information, including personal information, which you transmit to us over the internet.

 

16. How Long Does Movado Group Keep Personal Information?

We will retain your personal information for as long as we believe it is needed to fulfill the purpose(s) we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In general, we will retain consumer personal information for as long as we engage with the consumer and, following that period, we will retain the personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary under the circumstances.

To determine the appropriate retention period for consumer personal information, we may consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the personal information, the administrative burden to delete the personal information, the purposes for which we process the personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information for analytical, statistical, or other purposes, in which case we may use or share this information indefinitely without further notice. Similarly, we may use or share aggregated data indefinitely without further notice.

17. What if I Don’t Want You to Collect, Use or Share My Personal Information?

Generally, unless we are required by law to do so, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for collecting, using, or sharing your personal information. There are many times when we need to collect, use, or share personal information from or about you, such as when required by law, to provide products or services, to comply with contractual obligations, or for employment purposes. If you fail to provide that information when requested, or if you instruct us not to collect, use, or share your personal information, we may not be able to perform. For example, we may not be able to process your order, maintain your shopping cart, send you promotions, or provide you with other goods and services. In such a case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us. We will endeavor to notify you before doing so.

However, we strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal information uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. You can change those choices at any time as described in Section 12.

18. What Rights and Choices Do I Have?

We offer you certain choices in connection with the personal information we collect about you, such as how we communicate directly with you. To update your preferences, to exercise your rights, or to submit a request, please use our fillable webform, contact us by mail, or call Customer Service.

To the extent permitted by law, you also may contact us to request access to the personal information we maintain about you or to request that we correct, amend, delete, or block the information. Once we have received your request, we many need to contact you for additional information to confirm your identity and verify your rights. This helps us to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to a person who does not have the right to receive it. It also may help us to speed up our response.

If you are a resident of the EEA, United Kingdom, or of Switzerland, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the European Data Protection Supervisor, to the Data Protection Authority in the applicable EU Member State, to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), or to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.  A list of EEA authorities is available at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/structure/data-protection-authorities/index_en.htm. We would, however, appreciate the chance to respond to your concerns before you approach these governmental agencies, so please contact us in the first instance.

For more information about the rights granted under the General Data Protection Regulation and similar laws in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, please read The GDPR Applies to Me, What Else Should I Know?

20. The GDPR Applies to Me, What Else Should I Know?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) promulgated by the European Union limits the legal bases upon which we may collect and use personal data (personal information) and requires us to explain which legal bases we rely on for the processing of data when the GDPR applies. It also grants certain rights. References to personal information throughout this Privacy Policy should be read to include personal data under the GDPR where applicable, including whenever the subject of the personal data is a resident of the EEA. Similar rights are granted under the laws of the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and the below references to “GDPR” should be understood to refer to the similar provisions of the United Kingdom or Swiss law where applicable, including whenever the subject of the personal data is a resident of the UK or Switzerland, respectively.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We have set out below in table format (the “GDPR Table”) a description of the ways we plan to use personal data and which of the legal bases (other than your explicit consent) we rely on to do so if and when the GDPR applies. Although we generally do not rely on consent as a legal basis to collect or use personal data, for certain uses we may in fact obtain your explicit consent for doing so. In the GDPR Table “legitimate interests” means our interest in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best products and services and the best and most secure experience and to grow our business. Although many things go into making this happen, to help you better understand what our legitimate interests are we have identified in the GDPR Table certain examples.

Note that under the GDPR we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending upon the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please Contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the GDPR Table below.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR

Where the GDPR applies, under certain circumstances you have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. If we provide you with access to the data we hold about you, we will not charge you unless permitted by law. If you request further copies of this data from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request, we will tell you our reasons for doing so.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. If we have shared this personal data with third parties, we will notify them about your correction request unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You also may request details of the third parties to whom we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal data. Where we think that it is reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will explain our decision to you.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. Where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes you have the right to object to processing. You also have the right to object to processing in the event we do so to enable us to perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority, or for scientific, historical, research, or statistical purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process 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 scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. If we have shared your personal data with third parties, unless it is impossible or involves disproportionate effort, we will use reasonable efforts to notify them about your request to restrict processing.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. On request, we can provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you seek to withdraw your consent. In the event you withdraw your consent, we will cease to use your data for that purpose unless we consider that there is an alternative legal basis to justify our continued processing of your information for this purpose, in which case we will inform you of this legal basis.

CONTROLLER

When you visit one of our after sales service Websites (mgiservice) you will be given directions about where to send your product for service or repairs. The entity to which you are directed will be the controller of your personal data for that purpose.

When you visit one of our other Websites or shop in person at a Movado Company Store, the controller of your personal data will be as identified in Which Movado Group Companies Process and Share Information?
