What is to be considered when data is transferred over

The internet is generally not regarded as a completely
secure environment, and information sent via the internet can be accessed by
unauthorized third parties. Even if both sender and recipient are
located in the same country, information sent via the internet may be
transmitted across international borders and be forwarded to a country with a
lower data protection level than the one existing in your country of
residence. Please note that we accept no responsibility for the security of
your information whilst in transit over the internet to
What legal basis do we rely upon to process your

of: (i) your consent, (ii) the necessity for the
performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at
your request prior to entering into a
contract and/or (iii) our legitimate
interests (specifically, getting to know your preferences so as to enable

How Does Boltie The Phoenix Use Cookies?
Cookies are pieces of data (small electronic text files)
stored on your device/terminal equipment that contain data about a user or its
device. They allow the storage of information for a determined period of time
and the identification of the user’s electronic device.
We use tracking technology such as cookies or tags to gather
such information as outlined in this document and to understand how you use the
website. Tracking technology helps us manage and improve the usability of the
website, for example by determining whether there has been any contact between
your computer’s IP address and us in the past and identifying the most popular
sections of the Boltie The Phoenix website. In concrete terms, boltie.co.za’s
server sends information to your computer, mobile phone, or other electronic
device which is then stored on your hard drive. The IP address of your computer
or other device is used in order to identify visits to boltie.co.za from
your computer or other device and to keep track of your browsing habits and
optimize the time required to load pages.
When you visit the website for the first time, the entry
page will show information on privacy and respective wording regarding the
consent to the use of cookies through a “cookie banner”. If you continue
to actively use the website and do not actively object to the use of cookies,
you agree to our use of cookies and your IP address and such consent will be
stored in your browser, so that the information does not have to be repeated on
every page of the website. Should the consent be missing in your browser (e.g.
if you deleted your browser history), the “cookie banner” with privacy
information will appear again the next time you visit the website.
In order to render the services, we install and use
certain technically required cookies which therefore do not require your prior
consent. We also use session cookies which are automatically deleted at the end
of your session and which also do not require your prior consent. Other cookies
(such as cookies to improve the navigational experience by keeping record of
certain data – this avoids you having to reintroduce such data at each
connection – and by tailoring the content of the services to your preferences)
may be installed and used on the basis of your consent. You may, at
any time, delete or block cookies in your browser parameters or through Ads
settings and Ads settings for mobile apps. However, in such case some
functionalities of the services or website requiring the use of cookies for
technical purposes may be reduced or may no longer be available to you.
We use analytics cookies to gather general information on
how users use the services and the website, e.g. which pages they visit most
frequently and whether they receive any error messages from websites. These
cookies do not collect any data that may lead to an identification of the user.
All information collected with the aid of such cookies exclusively serves
the purpose to comprehend and improve the functionality of our services and
website. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc.,
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). The
information regarding your usage of the services and the website
generated by the use of Google Analytics is usually transmitted to
and stored on a Google server in the US. Google will use this information on
our behalf to analyze your use of the website, compile reports on website
activity and provide other website and internet usage-related services for the
website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics
is not merged with other Google data.
This data is stored anonymously, it does not contain any personal information and can thus be disclosed to third parties, particularly for information or statistical analysis purposes, particularly in order to analyze the performance of our marketing promotions.
We may also use advertising cookies to collect certain
demographics and usage statistics to improve the services. In particular,
we use the following Google Analytics Advertising Features: Google
Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting; Integrated services that require
Google Analytics to collect data via advertising cookies and anonymous
identifiers. We may also use AMP Client ID in connection with Google Analytics.
We also make use of “social plugins”, i.e. plugins for
social networks, including particularly the Facebook “Share” button.
For data privacy reasons, we deliberately opted
against utilizing direct social network plug-ins on our website.
Instead, we employ an alternative technical solution that
allows you to decide whether to transmit data to the social network
operators and when. Thus, when you visit the website, data are
never automatically transmitted to social networks such as Facebook or Twitter.
Only when you actively click on the respective button yourself
will your web browser connect to the servers of the respective social
network, i.e. clicking on elements then clicking on the social network’s icon
indicates your consent to your browser connecting to the servers of
the respective social network and sending usage data to that social network
operator, whether or not you are a subscriber of such social network.
We have no influence over the nature or scope of data
that social networks may then gather. For information regarding the purpose and
scope of data collection, further processing and use of data by social networks
and regarding your data privacy rights and relevant configuration settings, see
the social networks’ respective data privacy advisories.
