DSD websites may use cookies and similar technologies. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, not all elements of our websites, apps and services may function as intended, so your experience may be affected.

To the extent that your local laws consider the information collected by cookies and other technologies as personal information, we will treat that information to the standards set out in this privacy notice. For more information on our use of cookies, please visit the “cookie policy” on the DSD website you are browsing. You can usually find the link at the bottom of each page. This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, and how we use them.

We collect information about your computer browser type and operating system, websites you visited before and after visiting our websites, standard server log information, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, location data, mobile phone service provider, and mobile phone operating system. We use this information to understand how our visitors use our websites and mobile applications so that we can improve them, the services we offer, and our advertising. We may also share this information with other companies within DSD and with other third parties. Some of our websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyse use patterns and may collect information about your use of the website, including your IP address. More information on Google Analytics can be found here (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites). If you would like to opt-out of having your data used by Google Analytics, you can opt out here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/

We also use remarketing services offered by our advertising partners to personalise advertisements for visitors to sites of their advertising networks (i.e. websites other than DSD’s). On these pages, you may be shown advertisements that refer to your interactions with DSD previously. To turn off personalisation for advertisements served by Google click here. To turn off personalisation for advertisements served by Facebook click here. Many companies that display interest-based advertising are members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"), the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (“EDAA”). To opt-out of interest-based advertising by members of these initiatives, you can always visit and check their websites at https://optout.networkadvertising.org, and https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com.

We may use the data you share with us to make decisions about your interests and preferences so we can make the marketing materials we send you more relevant. We may also combine the information we hold about you with data about your interests or demographics that third parties have collected from you online and offline, to make your experience more personalised and further tailor our marketing materials. You have certain rights in relation to this (please see your rights regarding personal information below for further information).

We use Facebook, Google, LinkedIn (and others) custom audience tools. This allows us to provide personalised advertising to you when you use Facebook’s platforms by matching the email address we hold for you with the email address Facebook, Google, LinkedIn (and others) holds for you, to show you the most relevant DSD advertisements. We only do this where you have given us consent. Sometimes we may also use information about you to build lookalike models. This allows us to generate similar audiences of prospective customers (who may have similar interests or demographics to you) through advertising platforms like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn (and others), based on data that the advertising platform holds about other people. Usually this means sharing your email address with our advertising partners. If you wish to opt out of similar audiences, you can do so on each of the platforms (Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and others).

Information retention

In some jurisdictions, we are legally required to keep your personal information for certain periods. How long depends on the specific legal requirements of the jurisdiction you are in when you share your information with us.

We will always keep your personal information for the period required by law and where we need to do so in connection with legal action or an investigation involving DSD. Otherwise, we will keep your personal information for as long as we have a relationship with you and, in order to respond or process a question or request from you or if we have sent you a product sample, and, upon termination of any relationship, ten (10) years thereafter.

Your rights as data subject
