POLICY WITH REGARD TO THE HANDLING OF PERSONAL DATA AND COOKIES

BRAVO is an innovative product based on the skillful blending of colostrum, bacteria and yeasts freely available on the market, yielding a quality product capable of fostering the user’s well-being.
The protection of privacy and personal data is of fundamental importance to the site. This document (the “Privacy Policy” or simply the “Policy”) describes the rules adhered to by the Site in connection with the treatment of the personal data of users (whether registered or merely visiting).
The capability of providing certain services requested by the user (e.g. processing, sharing and receiving contents, receiving newsletters and other informational communications, making discussion forums available, etc.), the very nature of the internet as an “open” network as well as the web’s technical properties (client-server infrastructure) necessarily imply the gathering and processing of certain kinds of data by the Site, including personal data regarding the user (e.g. the IP address assigned to the device employed by the user while navigating the internet, the unequivocal identifiers of mobile devices, etc.)
By using the Site the user declares his full and unconditional acceptance of the terms of this Policy, particularly as they refer to the treatment of personal data, described or inferred by the Policy itself, by the Site. If the user does not intend to accept the Policy he must immediately stop using the Site.
The Site reserves for itself the right to change the Policy at any time and in its own discretion. In particular, the Policy is constantly updated to reflect the evolution of the Federal Act on the Protection of Personal Data (“FAPD”). Silver Spring Sagl has applied the new rules on protection of personal data (according to Regolamento europeo n. 679/2016, GDPR of May 25, 2018 and according to the new Swiss law on privacy and data protection of September 1st, 2023 (legge federale svizzera sulla protezione dei dati – (LPD) of September 1st, 2023). It is incumbent upon the user, as he enters the Site, to check the status of the Policy. Notice of any changes to the Policy and of their effective date is given either on the Site or by personal (e-mail) communication at least 7 days in advance. Once it takes effect the new Policy will automatically be binding for all users. Accessing the Site after the new Policy has taken effect implies the users’ acceptance of any such changes.
Our policy concerning the protection of personal information is described below. We wish you enjoyable surfing on www.bravo-europe.com.

A. Personal Information
The Site may process personal information only in strict compliance with this Policy and/or with applicable statutes (chiefly the FADP). Personal information means any and all information concerning the user not in the public domain, to the extent that the user is identified or identifiable (“personal information”). In particular, data disclosed and/or made available by the user to the world is public-domain non-protected information insofar as the user has not expressly objected to its being processed.

B. Gathering and Processing of Personal Information
The Site processes the following information/data supplied by the user at the time of registration:
a) non-optional data: name and surname/company, full address, telephone number, e-mail address;
b) optional data: occupation, fax number, credit card data, PayPal info.
The Site does not collect personal data worthy of special protection pursuant to Art. 3.c FADP, such as race, ethnic origin, religion or health status.
The Site does not gather or process personal user data unless necessary to allow access to, use of and/or improvement to the Site, subject to these provisions.
Subject to the following, the Site neither processes nor transmits advertising messages predicated upon the online behavior of users; it does not record the users’ online activity nor support the use of tools aimed at monitoring the use of web resources or e-mail.
The Site indicates the purposes for which personal information is gathered or processed – if circumstances do not make them obvious – no later than when such information is gathered. The purposes may be indicated either via the browser or by individual or general notice, or they may refer to this Policy.
Personal information may be processed only within the framework of the purpose indicated or derived from the circumstances at the time of gathering. Thus, if a user sends an e-mail containing a question or a comment, the Site may use his e-mail address to reply to it. The Site may durably store and archive such e-mail, the e-mail address and a copy of the reply.
The Site is authorized to gather and process user-supplied information in order to provide the user with special services such as newsletters and/or to suggest online activities and events – notably of cultural or educational nature – related to the activity of the Site.

The Site provides such suppliers with access to personal information to the extent such access is useful or necessary for the proper and efficient performance of their tasks. The transmission of and access to such personal information is subject to the proviso that such third parties, as well as the data, are operating or located in Switzerland and have signed a commitment to keep such information confidential and to not use them for reasons unrelated to the performance of their tasks. The Site shall not be liable for the actions of such third parties so long as no serious negligence emerges in terms of the selection, training and supervision of such third parties.

Conversely, the Site is authorized as of now to provide users, at the personal addresses supplied when registering, with information regarding the activity of the Site and messages of business partners, sponsors and advertisers, even with advertising content. The Site is not liable for the actions of such third parties; this applies particularly to the contents of such communications and to the proper fulfillment of any agreements entered into with the user. The latter has the option at any time to request the end of such communications (“opting out”). Any such request should be made in writing to the e-mail address shown in Section I below.
Other personal information, such as e.g. information regarding the use of the Site (IP address, time spent on the Site, services used, activated connections and messages, etc.), is analyzed fully automatically to assess the introduction of new functions, to improve the quality of available services and to optimize the Site’s usability.

The Site stores personal information relating to users for as long as such data serves the purpose for which it has been gathered or such storage is required by statute. Within the limits of the law, if the registered user cancels his account all personal information contained therein or to which it may refer will be automatically deleted except for any written or electronic correspondence between the parties.

D. Consent for the Conveyance and Storage of Personal Information
By supplying personal information and/or using the Site the user accepts that such personal information is gathered and processed pursuant to law and/or this Policy.
Depending on circumstances or on the sensitivity of the data supplied by him or processed, the user may be asked to expressly declare his consent to the gathering and processing of personal information. Such consent may be revoked by the user at any time by so advising the Site in the manner indicated in Section I below.
The Site is authorized to gather, use and convey personal information relating to users without obtaining their prior consent if such gathering, use and conveyance is permitted or required by law or in the presence of an order issued by a Swiss judicial or administrative authority.

E. Security
Only authorized persons have access to personal user data within the limits of what is strictly necessary for them to perform their tasks. The Site implements all reasonable and proportionate security measures against unauthorized access, use, conveyance, alteration, loss or destruction of personal user data. These measures are of a technical, physical and organizational nature. However, since the internet is an open network, the Site cannot and does not guarantee an absolute level of protection.
Accordingly, the Site rejects any liability in this connection so long as the damaging event is not the direct consequence of willful or grievously negligent action attributable to the Site. Also, the Site is not in a position to guarantee the confidentiality of data supplied or conveyed via the website or by e-mail. Hence, the Site rejects any liability regarding the security of data in transit via the internet from/to the Site in the manner indicated above.

The Site acknowledges the right of every user to access his own personal information free of charge and to verify the accuracy thereof as well as to cause it to be changed, corrected or updated.
Upon request, the user has the right to be told whether and in what manner personal information concerning himself is being processed. In some specific instances – if the law so provides – access to data may be denied. The Site will positively evaluate any user suggestion or complaint regarding its policy on privacy and personal data protection.
