• where none of the above applies, or where law requires it, your consent (which we will ask for before we process the information).

The purposes for which we use information about you, with corresponding methods of collection and legal basis for use, are:

Where we do not base our use of information about you on one of the above legal bases, or where law requires it, we will ask for your consent before we process the information (these cases will be clear from the context).

In some instances, we may use information about you in ways that are not described above. Where this is the case, we will provide a supplemental privacy notice that explains such use. You should read any supplemental notice in conjunction with this notice.

Who do we share your information with, and for what purposes?

We may share information about you with:

• PMI affiliates;
• third parties who provide us, PMI affiliates or you with products or services;

We share information about you with others only in accordance with applicable laws. Thus, where law requires your consent, we will first ask for it.

Where might information about you be sent?

As with any multinational organization, PMI affiliates transfer information globally once shared with PMI affiliates. Accordingly, information about you may be transferred globally (for example, if you are in the European Economic Area (“ EEA ”), your information may be transferred outside the EEA).

When using information as described in this notice, information about you may be transferred either within or outside the country or territory where it was collected, including to a country or territory that may not have equivalent data protection standards.

For example, PMI affiliates within the EEA may transfer personal information to PMI affiliates outside the EEA. In all such cases, the transfer will be:

• on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision ;
• subject to appropriate safeguards, for example the EU Model Contracts ; or
• necessary to discharge obligations under a contract between you and us (or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request) or for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in your interest between us and a third party, such as in relation to travel arrangements.

In all cases, appropriate security measures for the protection of personal information will be applied in those countries or territories, in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

How do we protect information about you?

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information that we hold from unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction. Where appropriate, we use encryption and other technologies that can assist in securing the information you provide. We also require our service providers to comply with strict data privacy and security requirements.

How long will information about you be kept?

We will retain information about you for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected. After that, we will delete it. The period will vary depending on the purposes for which the information was collected. Note that in some circumstances, you have the right to request us to delete the information. Also, we are sometimes legally obliged to retain the information, for example, for tax and accounting purposes.

Typically, we retain data based on the criteria described in the table below:

What rights and options do you have?

You may have some or all of the following rights in respect of information about you that we hold:

• request us to give you access to it;
• request us to rectify it, update it, or erase it;
• request us to restrict our using it, in certain circumstances;

• withdraw your consent to our using it;

Last updated: 28 September 2020

Introduction

Welcome to the www.iqos.com ("Website"), a web site administered by Philip Morris Kuwait W.L.L (referred to as "we" or "us" in these Terms of Use).

How do you accept these terms?  If you use the Website, you accept these terms of use (“Terms”). These are important provisions relating to your use of the Website: you should read them before using the Website as they are binding on you.

Limits of liability: By using the Website, you accept certain limits of liability, which we explain throughout these Terms. In summary: you use the Website at your own risk; we do not assume any liability, or make any warranties (express or implied) with respect to it or your use of it.

Use of tobacco products: Philip Morris International (“PMI”) products are designed for adult smokers only. PMI products contain nicotine which is a highly addictive substance. Nicotine-containing products should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women or persons in ill health. PMI products are not for sale or use by those who are below the legal age required to purchase tobacco which under the laws of the State of Kuwait is 21 years of age. Whilst PMI products are made to high standards, you acknowledge that you use the products at your own risk. IQOS IS NOT RISK FREE AND THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE TOBACCO RELATED HEALTH RISKS IS TO QUIT TOBACCO USE ALTOGETHER.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE WEBSITE.

Further terms: If you wish to use certain sections of this Website or take advantage of any promotions offered to you through it by the entity selling products on the Website, that may be subject to other terms and notices. If this is the case, this will be brought to your attention and in some situations you may be required to read and confirm your acceptance of any such items before continuing.

Changes to these Terms: We may amend these Terms from time to time. If we do, we will notify you of such changes. If you then continue to use the Website, your use will mean you accept the updated Terms. The date at the top of this page shows when these Terms were last updated.

Use of the Website

The Website is intended to be used by adult tobacco users aged 21 and above who want to continue to use tobacco products (“Intended User”), and who reside in the State of Kuwait. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not use the Website.

To set up an account for the Website, you must give us some personal information to enable us to verify your eligibility to use it. Typically, this may be smoking status, name, age, country of residence and e-mail address/telephone number. We will hold this in accordance with our Privacy Notice (see the “Privacy and Cookies” section below for more information.) Every user can set up one unique account and for this reason, one mobile phone number and e-mail address can only be associated with one account.

It’s important for you to provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your account. You agree to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. You agree that you won’t disclose your account password to anyone. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not you know about them.

You may not use anyone else’s password or account. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website. Should you attempt to do so, assist others to do so, or distribute instructions, software or tools for that purpose, we will close your account. If anyone other than you uses your account, we may suspend or terminate your account (see the section entitled “Modification and suspension of the Website” below). You must promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your username, password or other account information, or of any other breach of security of which you become aware that involves your account or the Website.

Disclaimer

Although we do our best to provide an informative Website that you will enjoy using, unless where we have expressly set out to the contrary in these Terms, the Website is made available to you on an “as is” basis. Also:

1. it is your responsibility – not ours – to ensure that the Website is suitable for your intended purposes when you use it;
2. we accept no liability to you in respect of the Website (subject to the paragraph on “Limit of Liability” below); and
3. we accept no liability as to the suitability or fitness of the Website in meeting your needs and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all express or implied promises and warranties, including:

   • that access to the Website will be uninterrupted, or error-free; and
   • that the Website, or the computer systems from which the Website is made available, are free of viruses or other harmful components.

Limit of Liability

We do not exclude or limit liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or liability arising out of our fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence.

We will not be liable to you for any loss or damage arising out of your use of the Website in breach of these terms, or caused by technologically harmful material or actions (such a virus or a distributed denial-of-service attack) that may affect your computer equipment, computer programs, data or other material in connection with your use of our Website or on any website linked to it.

Other important rights that we have under these Terms

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights under these Terms.

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our right to enforce any such obligations or rights against you, or that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do decide to waive our right to enforce a default or breach of these Terms by you, we will do so only in writing.

Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. This means that if any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms are not intended to give rights to anyone except you and us.
