EU DATA PRIVACY POLICY

1. Commitment to Data Protection. Navico, as the manufacturer of Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G products, believes that putting trust, transparency and control at the heart of our customer and consumer experiences is key to being a leading player in our industry. In that regard, we comply with any data protection law which would be applicable to you, and have been closely monitoring the progress of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (“GDPR”) (collectively the “Data Protection Laws”). We have collaborated with privacy experts in the EU who are helping us on a continuing basis to navigate these regulatory challenges to deliver on our commitments. Navico is working to develop processes and mechanisms to facilitate individuals in the EU to exercise their rights in a similar manner to that prescribed by GDPR.

2. Scope of the Privacy Policy. When you interact with Navico, for instance by registering your product on one of our Sites, lowrance.com, simrad-yachting.com, bandg.com, and navico-commercial.com (collectively the “Sites”), by purchasing a product, or by communicating with Navico through social media (eg. “like us on Facebook”), we may request you provide us with personal data. In this regard, this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to information collected by Navico on the Sites and describes how we protect and process your personal data through the Sites. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully in order to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we process it.

  • Adopting security measures to protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access (“Data Breach”). While we take all reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data from any Data Breach, we cannot guarantee the security of the Personal Data you disclose online, nor that no Data Breach will occur. You can help us keep your Personal Data secure by ensuring that any password you use on our Sites is kept strictly confidential, and by logging off when you have finished using a shared computer. In this regard, you acknowledge the inherent security implications of dealing online over the Internet and will not hold us or our providers responsible for any Data Breach unless it is due to a breach of our obligations with respect to the protection of your Personal Data.
  • Keeping your Personal Data accurate and up to date;
  • Collecting and retaining solely Personal Data that are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which your Personal Data are processed.

  • Third parties, or
  • Other parties when required by any applicable law.

The recipients of your Personal Data are located inside or outside the European Union and/or the European Economic Area and are considered as data processors of your Personal Data, on our behalf.

By processing your Personal Data on our behalf, they shall act only under our instructions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, your Personal Data may be disclosed to law enforcement or judicial authorities, in compliance with applicable laws and upon formal request by such entities.

We will not disclose or transfer your Personal Data to any other third party without informing you, and, in any case, solely in accordance with the Data Protection Laws.

8. Cloud data. Navico may store your Personal Data in a cloud. This means that your Personal Data may be processed on behalf of Navico by a cloud service provider and could be stored in different locations around the world. Navico makes uses of organizational and contractual measures to protect your Personal Data and to impose similar, but in no way less restrictive requirements, on our cloud service providers, including requirements that your Personal Data be processed exclusively for the purposes mentioned herein or for other purposes you have affirmatively consented to.

9. Further processing. If Navico wishes to use your Personal Data for a new purpose not covered under the Privacy Policy, then we will provide you with a notice explaining this new purpose prior to commencing processing activities. Where and whenever necessary, we will seek your prior consent to the new processing purpose.
