INFORMATION WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT

We collect certain information by automated means when you visit our Sites, such as how many users visited our Sites and the pages accessed. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our Sites to our visitors. We collect this information through various means such as “cookies” and “web beacons.” In addition, we may collect IP addresses, as explained below.  For more information regarding our use of cookies, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy.

Cookies.  As described in our separate Cookie Policy, like many companies, we use “cookies” on some of our Sites. Cookies are pieces of code placed on your devices when you visit certain websites. We use cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify features of the Sites in which you may have the greatest interest. Cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular website.

Most web browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features and functionality of the Sites.

Web Beacons.  As described in our separate Cookie Policy, certain pages on our website contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). These web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears; the URL of the page on which the beacon appears; the time the page containing the beacon was viewed; the type of browser used to view the page; and the information in cookies set by the third party.

CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

To transfer data from the European Economic Area (EEA) to other countries, such as the United States, we comply with legal frameworks that establish an equivalent level of protection with EU law.  By using the Sites or providing us with your personal information, you are transferring your personal information to us in the United States.  In addition, we transfer the personal information we collect on the Sites to other countries where we do business. 

  • EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks. Brunswick, as well as its U.S. affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries further identified below, comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework for personal data as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/.

As described in the Privacy Shield Principles, Brunswick remains responsible for any of your personal information under the Privacy Shield and transferred to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf.  Brunswick commits to cooperate with EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and comply with the advice given by such authorities with regard to personal data transferred from the EU and Switzerland in the context of the employment relationship.

We work hard to protect you and Brunswick from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold.

Exercising Your CCPA Rights

To exercise the CCPA rights described above, please submit a verifiable personal information request to us by either:

  • Calling us at 855-283-1103 or 847-735-4002;
  • Completing an online request form by clicking here; or
  • Emailing us at [email protected].

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may submit a personal information request. You may also make a personal information request on behalf of your minor child. 

The verifiable personal information request must:

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it; and
  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or an authorized representative for that person. 
  •  
    • For a request by the individual from whom we may have collected information, we rely on a service provider to verify your identity.  In order to verify your identity, our service provider may require a copy of a valid passport, Driver’s License or government-issued identification card, together with your current mailing address and contact information.  
    • For an authorized representative, we require a copy of the agent’s registration with the California Secretary of State, a valid power of attorney, court appointment document or signed authorization from the individual on whose behalf the agent is acting demonstrating the agent’s ability to act on that person’s behalf.  Once we receive a personal information request from an authorized agent, unless that agent has a power of attorney issued pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4000 to 4465, we may contact the person to whom the request relates in order to, among other things, verify their identity, confirm the agent’s capacity to act on that person’s behalf, and if applicable, respond to or deliver information requested pursuant to the personal information request.
    • For a request related to a household, all members of the household must submit the request, and each must provide information sufficient for us to verify their identity.  We rely on a service provider to verify each household member’s identity.  Each household member will be required to provide to our service provider, a copy of each household member’s valid passport, Driver’s License or government-issued identification card (or for minors under the age of 13, a signed consent of the minors’ parent), together with your household mailing address and contact information.  We may deny a request from a household if we cannot verify that the individual(s) making the request are part of the same household. 

If we cannot verify a request to delete, we will treat that request instead as a request to opt-out of the sale of your information.

We endeavor to respond to a personal information request within 45 days of its receipt, and we will confirm receipt of your request to know or to delete within 10 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically. If provided electronically, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is in a portable and readily useable format. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. 

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your personal information request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

Unless permitted or required by law, if you exercise any of your rights pursuant to California Civil Code 1798.100 et seq, the California Consumer Privacy Act (your “CCPA Rights”), we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services;
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services, or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, if you do exercise one or more of your CCPA Rights, we reserve the right to charge you a different price or rate from other consumers, or provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.  At this time, we do not offer financial incentives for the continued collection, use, sharing and/or sale of your personal information.

RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

Brunswick retains all personal information for the duration of the relevant business relationship or, where required, in accordance with its information management policies and schedules.  When deleting personal information based on a request, Brunswick will make reasonable attempts to ensure that all instances of the information are deleted in their entirety.
