PRIVACY POLICY

PRIVACY POLICY

Bottlers Nepal Limited (hereafter “BNL”) is committed to protecting the data and privacy of its visitors (hereafter the “Visitors,” “you” or “your”) to our Internet world-wide website  ( www.bnl.com.np )and the mobile application (hereafter referred to as the “App”) that links directly to this privacy policy about the protection of personal information online. We aim for this App to be a safe and enjoyable environment for you.

This privacy policy (hereafter the “Policy“) primarily describes:

• the information that BNL collects through the App, which is hosted and operated from Nepal.
• the use and role of cookies and similar technologies on the App; and
• the security measures BNL has in place to protect the information that BNL gathers through the App.

This Policy does not govern BNL’s collection of information through any App, or by any other means, other than through this App.

Visitors are encouraged to read this Policy before using the App. By using the App, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use of the App, available at Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use of the App, please do not use the App.

1. INFORMATION GATHERED BY BNL THROUGH THE APP

BNL gathers two basic types of information through the App: (i) “Personal Information,” information from which an individual can be identified, and (ii) “Aggregate Information,” from which an individual cannot be identified.

• • Personal Information: You are not ordinarily required to register or provide Personal Information in order to access the App, though certain functionalities such as participating in any consumer promos, contests, etc., may require registration. BNL collects Personal Information from you only when you voluntarily provide it to BNL – for example, in contacting BNL through the App, filling in the form for applying for a vacancy or while requesting for a visit to the manufacturing plant of BNL, or exploring business opportunities with BNL, answering surveys and polls, entering contests, sweepstakes, raffles and similar promotions, signing up for email updates and announcements concerning BNL’s products and special promotions, and purchasing BNL’s merchandise or product. Personal Information may include your contact information (such as your name, postal address, telephone numbers and/or email address), as well as your payment information, if required, such as credit/debit card number and expiration date (including any other digital means of payment) (“Payment Information”), which will be collected if you wish to purchase any product or merchandise made available through the App (“Transaction”).
  • Aggregate Information: When you visit the App, BNL and the third parties with whom BNL has contracted to provide services, may collect anonymous information from three sources: server log files, cookies, and pixel tags.
    • Server Log Files: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in BNL’s server log files whenever you visit the App, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. IP addresses of all Visitors are used by BNL to calculate the App usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the App’s servers, and to administer the App. BNL may also use IP addresses to communicate or to block access by Visitors who fail to comply with the Policy and/or the Terms and Conditions of Use of the App. Collecting IP addresses is a standard practice followed on the Internet and is carried out automatically by many Apps.
    • Cookies: Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual’s computer for record keeping purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most App and help facilitate users’ ongoing access to and use of a particular App. Cookies do not cause damage to the computer system or files, and only the App that transfers a particular cookie to the computer system can read, modify or delete such cookie. If you do not want your information to be collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure to be followed, in most of the browsers, by the user that allows the user to delete existing cookies, automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of particular cookies to the user’s computer system. You should note, however, that declining cookies may make it difficult or impossible for you to access certain portions of the App.
    • Pixel Tags: The App may use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) to compile aggregate statistics about App usage and response rates. Pixel Tags enables BNL to maintain a count of the users who have visited certain pages of the App. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and as to when the email was opened and read by the receiver of the e-mail.

2. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION GATHERED BY BNL THROUGH THE APP

BNL may share this Personal Information with third party sponsors of such contests, competitions and promotions (irrespective of whether it is hosted by BNL), in accordance with the rules applicable to such contest, competition or promotion. You should carefully review the rules of each contest, competition and promotion in which you participate through the App, as they may contain certain additional important information about BNL or a sponsor’s use of your Personal Information. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules concerning the treatment of your Personal Information enlarge the scope of use of such information in terms of this Policy, the terms and conditions of such rules shall also apply.
