3.     WHAT KIND OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT

Information provided to us by you

We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, language of communication, phone number, address, and email address when you want to learn more about BRP products and services, when you become the owner of a BRP product or when you contact our Consumer Services group for assistance with your BRP products or for after-sale service.

Information collected automatically

We automatically collect information about you, such as information collected by cookies and similar technologies when you use our websites or our dealers’ or distributors’ websites. We may, for example, collect information about the type of device you use to access our websites, the operating system and version, your IP address, your general geographic location as indicated by your IP address, your browser type, the webpages you view on our or our dealers’ or distributors’ websites, and whether and how you interact with content available on such websites.

Information collected from other sources

We may receive information about you, such as demographic information, from other sources, including third parties, such as dealers and partners with whom we offer services or engage in joint-marketing activities. We may also receive information about you from social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, for instance, when you interact with us on those platforms. We protect data obtained from third parties according to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and we also apply any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data.

Information collected from your interactions with BRP

We have highlighted different occasions when BRP could potentially collect Personal Information from customers. The customer interactions with BRP are broken down into the following segments:

Learning about BRP

As you gather information about BRP, you may virtually or physically visit a site, browse our website, call our in-house sales representatives, physically visit a BRP-owned store, subscribe to BRP’s newsletters, participate in BRP-sponsored contests and sweepstakes or attend BRP-sponsored events. To learn more about BRP products, you may voluntarily provide Personal Information, such as your name, address and email address during these interactions. We may also collect information about you online via cookies or similar technologies when you visit our websites. Subject to our obligations under applicable anti-spam laws, we use this information to share news about events and about products offered by BRP. Additionally, IP addresses help us to better understand geographic information about visitors to our websites so that we can improve our websites for everyone.  

It is our legitimate interest to process your Personal Information for these purposes.

Buying BRP products

If you decide to buy a BRP product, we offer ways for you to buy directly from us via our websites or at a BRP dealership. When you buy from us, you will be asked to provide information so that we can complete your purchase. We use this information to complete your transaction, follow up with you about your purchase, help with any delivery issues, handle returns, offer after-sale service, and other issues related to your purchase of BRP products.

Processing your Personal Information for this purpose is necessary for performance of the agreement we have with you.

Please note that we do not store any payment or credit card information. We only use payment information in connection with purchases of BRP products.

Registering your BRP products

As part of registering your BRP product for ownership, safety recall and warranty purposes, BRP will collect information such as your name, address, and email address. You are required to provide this information to register your BRP product. We collect this information to help establish ownership of individual BRP products, perform any safety recalls, and offer warranty and after-sale service to you.

It is our legitimate interest, and of vital interest to you in terms of safety recalls, to process your Personal Information for these purposes.

Getting help from BRP

From time to time, you may decide to contact our Consumer Services group for assistance with your BRP products. To be able to offer you the best service possible, we may collect certain data from you or your BRP products. We collect this information to give you the best and most efficient customer support possible.

It is our legitimate interest to process your Personal Information for these purposes.

 

4.     HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

BRP uses the data we collect to provide you with information on the BRP products and services we offer, which includes using data to improve and personalize your experience. We also use the data to communicate with you, for example, to advise you about your account, new BRP products or services available, security and other types of updates. BRP uses the data for the following purposes:

Customer support

Sales and after-sales

Our sales and after-sale services will use your data to process your purchase and configure and service your BRP product.

This information may be accessed by BRP to troubleshoot technical or other issues relating to the delivery of these services, to help continuously improve product quality, to cross-check information in certain circumstances such as in connection with warranty claims or to check if recalls have been property performed.

Employment and recruiting

When you submit a job application, we will collect and process your Personal Information for recruiting-related purposes, to manage your application, to determine if your application matches the role for which you applied, to communicate with you regarding your application or opening beyond the scope of your original application, and in order to better understand who is applying to BRP positions and how to better attract applicants for BRP vacancies.

Non-Personal Information

We also use Non-Personal Information. For example, we may:  

(a)   collect and analyze aggregated and/or de-identified information to produce statistical data for research purposes and to develop and improve our BRP products and services, including maintaining and improving the performance of our BRP products and services, developing and adding new features or capabilities;

5.     HOW DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Personal Information BRP has collected may be transferred to a limited range of third parties. In this case, your Personal Information will be shared with these agents or contractors, but only for the purpose of performing services on behalf of and under instruction from BRP, and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

The information is shared in a secure manner, using a consistent security protocol between BRP and the third parties. When BRP shares information with other parties, we ensure that they only use your Personal Information for the purposes for which it was provided in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

6.     BRP’S LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

7.     HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your Personal Information is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which we obtained it and for any other permitted ancillary purposes. If information is needed for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the end date of the purpose with the longest duration; however, we will discontinue any use of information for purposes with earlier end dates as soon as such dates are reached.

Your Personal Information is kept secured and access is strictly limited to only those persons who need to use it for the relevant purpose.

Our retention periods are based on business needs and Personal Information that is no longer needed is either irreversibly anonymized or securely destroyed.

 

8.     COOKIE POLICY

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer when you visit a website. It is usually created when a new webpage is loaded.

Cookies store Non-Personal Information on your computer in order to manage your website experience, such as your web browser type. They are designed to hold a small amount of data specific to a particular user and website to allow web pages delivered to be tailored to a particular user, or some pages to contain some script which takes into consideration the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related website) to the next. Cookies also store preference information to customize your website experience. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences.

We use cookies to manage BRP’s websites and email programs.

Cookies and other tracking technologies used on BRP’s websites

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Always Active – These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website. They are in response to actions you have taken such as log-ins, language preferences, browser settings, and auto-fill forms. You can set your browser to alert you when these cookies are being used or to block them. Please be aware that some parts of the website may not work if you block these cookies.

Facebook Pixel

These cookies are used by BRP and Facebook to measure, build, and improve Facebook advertising audiences. This works by uniquely identifying your browser and device and ensuring that BRP displays its Facebook advertising campaigns to users that would be interested in such advertising. This is done by analyzing which content is interacted with by a user.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used by BRP and third parties to build a profile of your interests, show you relevant communications, as well as to understand the performance of the advertising. They track information such as browser and device identifiers, the number of unique visitors, the number of clicks on ads, and most recently loaded pages. They are also used to build consumer profiles, including showing ads based on products that are viewed or acts that have been taken on BRP websites. By disabling these cookies, you will not receive a targeting advertising experience across different websites.

Retargeting/Behavioral/Statistical Cookies

These cookies are used by BRP and third parties to create audiences that include lists of users who have interacted with the BRP website in a particular fashion. These cookies do not contain any identifiers nor any personal identifiable information.

Your cookie settings

You can completely disable some or all cookies in the advanced settings of your browser at any time. For more information on how to disable cookies. 

Clear GIFs

Clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, though, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages, not stored on your hard drive.  These “images” are automatically loaded to your browser/device when you visit our website or open an html format email message from us, thereby letting us know if a certain page was visited or an email message was opened. Clear GIFs allow us to record simple user actions related to our websites and to email communications received from us, to help us determine the usage and effectiveness of our site and communications. We might use clear GIFs to track the activities of our visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage. We and our third-party service providers also might use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded. These can be blocked either by using a third-party application such as Ghostery or, in the case of emails, by changing your settings to prevent images from being downloaded (where your email client supports this functionality).

Third-Party Analytics

We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics.

We also use services that enable us to better understand our users’ needs and optimize our platform and users’ experience. These services use cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior (by tracking how much time users spend on which pages, which links users chose to click on, what users like or not) and their devices (in particular device's IP address (captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), preferred language used to display on our website). This information is stored in a pseudonymized user profile, and it will not be used to identify individual users or to match it with further data on an individual user.

 

9.     HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

BRP makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Personal Information collected from you is protected against loss and unauthorized access. This protection applies in relation to information stored in both electronic and hard copy format. Access to your Personal Information is restricted to individuals who have a business need consistent with the reason the information was provided. In addition, BRP employs generally accepted information security techniques, such as firewalls and access control procedures, to protect Personal Information against loss and unauthorized access.

Where we use service providers who might have access to your Personal Information, we require them to have privacy and security standards that are comparable to ours. We use contracts and other measures with our service providers to maintain the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information and to prevent it from being used for any other purpose.

International transfers of Personal Information

When sharing data with third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, your Personal Information may be transferred to countries where data protection laws may provide a lower standard of protection for your Personal Information than your jurisdiction of residence including the United States. We take great care in protecting your Personal Information and have put in place adequate mechanisms to protect it when it is transferred internationally. We will transfer your Personal Information in compliance with applicable data protection laws and will implement suitable safeguards to ensure that your Personal Information is adequately secured in accordance with all applicable laws. Please note that when your Personal Information is transferred outside your country of residence, it will be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is situated.

For Personal Information involving European Union citizens, transfers of Personal Information outside the European Union will be carefully reviewed prior to the transfer to ensure that they fall within the limits imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR). This depends partly on the European Commission’s judgement as to the adequacy of the safeguards for Personal Information applicable in the receiving country and this may change over time. In these situations, when your Personal Information is disclosed to a third party in a receiving country that does not benefit from an adequacy decision, BRP incorporates Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) into contracts with these third parties. SCCs are written engagements between parties that are used as an appropriate ground for Personal Information transfers from the EU to third countries in order to provide appropriate data protection safeguards.

BRP incorporates the SCCs that are annexed to the European Commission’s Implementing Decision 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 for the transfer of Personal Data to third countries pursuant to GDPR, as well as the SCCs as amended by the International Data Transfer Addendum as issued by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office under S119A (1) Data Protection Act 2018.

Hereby, as of December 27^th, 2022, these SCCs are incorporated to the contracts between BRP and all third parties who manage Personal Information on its behalf by reference.

 

10.  LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

Our websites may offer links to third-party websites. You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your Personal Information (including information generated through the use of cookies) when you link to their websites. BRP is not responsible for how such third parties collect, use, or disclose your Personal Information, so it is important to familiarize yourself with their privacy policies before providing them with your Personal Information.

 

11.  PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF CHILDREN

BRP’s websites are not targeted to or intended for use by children. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 16. Children under 16 years of age should not register nor provide BRP with any personally identifiable information without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

 

12.  CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

BRP reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time without notice. The Privacy Policy posted via this website shall be deemed to be the Privacy Policy then in effect and the date at the top of the Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect the date of effectiveness. We recommend that you check this website from time to time to inform yourself of any changes in this Privacy Policy.

 

13.  YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You can ask BRP what Personal Information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate.

You can ask us to stop sending you commercial communications. The simplest way to do so is to withdraw your consent, which you can do at any time, either by clicking the unsubscribe link at the end of any newsletter and commercial communications, or by emailing, writing or telephoning us using the contact information below. Please note however that when you do so, you are withdrawing your consent from receiving commercial communications from BRP, but you might still continue to receive commercial communications from the dealerships and distributors, who have their own independent consent management.

You can ask us to completely stop processing your Personal Information, and/or to erase it from our database. Please note that any request to stop the processing of your Personal Information or to be erased from our database will not be applicable when BRP has the obligation to communicate with you for health or safety related matter, such as safety recall or warranty matters regarding your BRP product(s).

For any of your requests, BRP may require relevant information or details in order to properly authenticate you.

You can help us maintain the accuracy of your Personal Information by notifying us of any changes to this information. In the event that you have any questions about BRP’s Privacy Policy or a complaint about our use of your Personal Information, including our use of service providers outside your jurisdiction of residence, you may contact our Privacy Officer in any of the following ways:
