PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Personal Data
When you visit www. thermador.com you may be asked to give us personal information
such as your name, postal or e-mail addresses or telephone number. It is your option
to provide the information requested. If you give us personal information, that
information will be treated confidentially and maintained in accordance with the
law of the State of California. It will be stored in a secure location and will
be accessible solely by designated BSH staff or authorized agents. Please note that
BSH does not sell your personal information. If you request, however, BSH may share
your information with an authorized BSH distributor, BSH dealer, or BSH service
center, in order to provide you with better service. The information we learn from
customers helps us personalize and continually improve your experience at www. thermador.com
. BSH is the sole owner of the personal information collected on this website. The
data will not be used for any purpose other than customer care. If you permit us
via "opt-in", we may use your information to request your participation in surveys
and/or promotions, and we may send you product information, updates or special offers.
For these purposes, the information may be stored, processed, and, if necessary,
passed on to other home appliance companies within the BSH group (Bosch or Gaggenau)
or its authorized agent and representatives. Your personal data will not be disclosed
to third parties. If you no longer wish to receive our promotional materials you
may opt-out of receiving such communications at any time by sending us an e-mail.
Additional terms and conditions regarding the processing of your data may also be
provided to you before you sign up for a particular service.
