Terms of use
for digital touchpoints
Last updated: July 24, 2017
Introduction
You have been guided here in connection with your download or use of a digital touchpoint (the “touchpoint”) that is operated by a member of the Philip Morris International group of companies.
What is a “touchpoint”? In these terms, we refer to any method by which you are in contact with us as a “touchpoint”. Some touchpoints are digital – for example, apps and websites.
Who are we? We are a member of the Philip Morris International group of companies. We have identified ourselves to you, and given our contact details, in the touchpoint in connection with which you have been guided here.
How do you accept these terms? If you use the touchpoint, you accept these terms of use (“Terms”). The first time you log on to the touchpoint, these terms are drawn to your attention. These are important provisions relating to your use of the touchpoint: you should read them before using the touchpoint as they are binding on you.
Limits of liability: By using the touchpoint, you accept certain limits of liability, which we explain throughout these Terms. In summary: you use the touchpoint 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.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THEse TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE TOUCHPOINT.
Further terms: If you wish to use certain sections of this touchpoint or take advantage of any promotions we offer to you through it, 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 the first time you log on to the touchpoint following such changes. If you then continue to use the touchpoint, 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 touchpoint
The touchpoint is intended to be used by adult tobacco users aged 18 and above (or, if higher, the minimum age required for the purchase of tobacco by the law of your country) who want to continue to enjoy tobacco products (“Intended User”), and who reside in the country where indicated in our contact details. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not use the touchpoint.
To set up an account for the touchpoint, you must give us some personal information to enable us to verify your eligibility to use it. Typically, this will 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.)
Registration and your information
If you want to use the touchpoint, you’ll have to create an account. You should do this via the touchpoint. 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 touchpoint. 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 touchpoint” 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 touchpoint.
Modification and suspension of the touchpoint
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate operation of or access to the touchpoint, or any portion of it, at our discretion. For example, we may terminate operation of the touchpoint for users if we have reason to believe that the touchpoint is being used by someone who is not an Intended User.
We may also update the touchpoint and change the content at any time. Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on the touchpoint, note that any content on it may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update it.
We may also interrupt the regular operation of the touchpoint, or any portion of it, as necessary to perform routine or non-routine maintenance, to correct errors, or to make other changes.
Use of the touchpoint and Materials
The touchpoint and all its contents (including messages posted on the forum, software, files, graphics, data, images and other material) (“Material”) are the exclusive property of us, our affiliates, or our licensors (or any combination of the foregoing), and are protected by law in your country as well as in other countries.
All intellectual property rights in the Material are reserved by us or our licensors. You may not use, modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, sell, license, rent, publicly display or perform, broadcast, edit, adapt or create a derivative work of, or reverse engineer, in any manner, any part of the touchpoint or any Material.
The touchpoint and the Material are provided solely for your personal, private use. You may not use them for any other purposes (for example, you may not use them for business or commercial purposes). Note the paragraph on “Limit of Liability” below.
Linking
The touchpoint may include links to third party websites. These links are provided for your convenience only. As we have no control over such websites, and we do not review them, please note that:
- we do not endorse them, we are not responsible for them, and we make no promise in relation to them: in particular we are not responsible for the terms on which such websites are made available or their privacy practices, their availability, their content, advertising, products, or other materials, services or information on or available from them; and
- if you access any such websites, you do so at your own risk.
You may not frame, link or deep-link to the touchpoint to any website.
Privacy and cookies
To the extent that in the touchpoint we collect any personal information about you, we will collect and process it in accordance with our Privacy Notice. Please read it to find out more about what personal information we collect about you, how we use it, with whom we share it, how we protect it, your rights and how you can exercise them.
This App also uses cookies and similar technologies to collect certain visitor information automatically. To learn more about such technologies (including Google analytics cookies), how we use them, and how you can accept or refuse them, please see our Cookie Notice.
You should review our Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice before using the touchpoint and, like these Terms, we may change them at any time.
Posting materials
These paragraphs apply if the touchpoint allows you to post materials on it
You warrant that all tangible and intangible materials and ideas, including text, drawings, designs, photographs, videos, sketches, that you post on the touchpoint (“Materials”) are your original work in which you own the related intellectual property rights. You also warrant that the Materials do not and will not infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights.
By posting the Materials on the touchpoint you: (a) assign to us all rights to, and intellectual property rights in, the Materials; (b) relinquish, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to such Materials and waive any moral rights in them (including the right to be named as the author of such Materials); and (c) acknowledge that we (and those whom we (directly or indirectly) permit) shall have unrestricted use of the Materials, including using, altering, duplicating, or combining them in all forms and for all media.
Your use of forums or blogs
These paragraphs apply if the touchpoint includes a forum or blog (“forum”) that allows interaction between you and other users
If the touchpoint includes a forum or blog (“forum”) that allows interaction between you and other users, you note that we reserve the right (which we may exercise at our sole discretion and without notice) to delete, remove, move or edit messages you have posted. We also reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate your use of the touchpoint and forum. You hereby waive any rights including any rights you may have in regard to messages you have posted on the forum.
The comments made on the forum must focus on aspects unrelated to smoking and health. Smoking is dangerous and addictive. More information about this is available at: http://www.philipmorrisinternational.com/PMINTL/pages/eng/smoking/S_and_H.asp. Any comments made about smoking and health will be removed from the touchpoint.
You are solely responsible for any information, data, personal views or beliefs, or any material that you submit for display on the touchpoint, including their accuracy, legality, reliability and appropriateness. In posting messages on the forum or submitting content to the touchpoint, you must not:
- publish, or link to, any messages containing any form of advertising or promotion for products or services, chain messages, or “spam”;
- publish, or link to, any messages with recommendations to buy or refrain from buying a particular security or which contain confidential information of another party or which otherwise have the purpose of affecting the price or value of any traded security;
- publish, or link to, any messages that are unlawful, threatening, discriminatory, abusive, libelous, indecent, infringe copyright or other rights of third parties, or which contain any form of illegal content;
- disguise the origin of any message;
- impersonate any person or entity (including forum users or hosts) or misrepresent any affiliation with any person or entity;
- post or otherwise publish any messages unrelated to the forum;
- post or transmit any messages that contain software viruses, files or code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of the touchpoint or any computer software or equipment;
- collect or store other users' personal data; or
- restrict or inhibit any other user from using the forum.
We may contribute material to the forum in order to stimulate discussions and make it run smoothly.
The forum may also contain messages from special guests we invite. The opinions of such guests are personal and do not necessarily represent our views. Additionally, messages will be submitted by other registered users of the touchpoint over whom we have no control. It is possible that some users will breach the above-listed rules, but we have no responsibility in that regard. We also cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of the messages posted on the forum and we cannot be held liable for their content.
You bear all risk associated with your use of the forum and should not rely on messages in making (or refraining from making) any specific investment or other decisions.
Disclaimer
Although we do our best to provide an informative touchpoint that you will enjoy using, unless where we have expressly set out to the contrary in these Terms, the touchpoint is made available to you on an “as is” basis. Also:
- it is your responsibility – not ours – to ensure that the touchpoint is suitable for your intended purposes when you use it;
- we accept no liability to you in respect of the touchpoint (subject to the paragraph on “Limit of Liability” below); and
- we accept no liability as to the suitability or fitness of the touchpoint in meeting your needs and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all express or implied promises and warranties, including:
- that the touchpoint, or any content contained in or delivered via the touchpoint or otherwise made available in connection with the touchpoint, is accurate, complete, timely, up-to-date, suitable, or will operate in an error-free manner;
- that access to the touchpoint will be uninterrupted, or error-free; and
- that the touchpoint, or the computer systems from which the touchpoint 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 touchpoint 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 touchpoint or on any website linked to it.
You acknowledge and agree that the operation of the touchpoint is dependent upon the proper and effective functioning of the internet and other third party equipment and services (including your own device or web browser), and that we do not guarantee, and will not be liable for, these in any way.
We will not be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential losses or damages, or any loss of data, profits, revenues, business, or goodwill.
If you cause a technical disruption of the touchpoint or the systems transmitting the touchpoint to you or others, you agree to be responsible for all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting from that disruption.
Jurisdiction and Governing Law
The laws of the jurisdiction indicated of the location we have given in the contact details of the touchpoint (the “Jurisdiction”) govern these Terms and your use of the touchpoint. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the Jurisdiction (and, insofar as the parties may validly agree, the courts in the town closest to our registered office), for any action to enforce these Terms. The touchpoint has been designed to comply with the laws of the Jurisdiction.

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 failure 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.

Privacy Notice
PMI CONSUMER PRIVACY NOTICE
We take privacy seriously. This notice tells you who we are, what information about you we collect, and what we do with it. Click on “find out more” in each section for further information.
Please also read our terms of use relating to the service you are interested in. They provide more information about the way we do business, and any restrictions on eligibility that may apply.
Who are we?
We are a member of Philip Morris International. Our details (name, address, etc.) will have been given to you at the time of collecting information about you through, for example, a notice on an app or a website.
Find out more…
Philip Morris International is the world’s leading international tobacco company. It is made up of a number of companies or “affiliates”.
- PMI affiliates: Each member of the Philip Morris International group of companies is a “PMI affiliate”. “We” (or “us” or “our”) refers to the PMI affiliate that first collected information about you. We may share your information with other PMI affiliates as described later in this notice.
- PMI product: means a product of ours or of another PMI affiliate.
How do we collect information about you?
We may collect information about you in various ways.
- You may provide us with information directly (e.g. filling in a form, or making a call to us)
- We may collect information automatically (e.g. when you use a PMI app or website)
- We may acquire information from third parties (e.g. publicly-available information on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter).
In this notice, we refer to all the methods by which you are in contact with us as “PMI touchpoints” (some of which may be digital – for example, apps and websites).
Find out more…
We may collect information that you provide directly. Typically this will happen when you:
- sign up to be a member of our databases (this could be, for example, in person, via app, or online);

- subscribe to a PMI panel portal;
- register to receive PMI press releases, e-mail alerts, or marketing communications;

We may collect information about you automatically. Typically this will happen when you:
- visit an outlet that sells PMI products (e.g. through sensors at the outlet, or through collecting data at check-out);
- attend an event that a PMI affiliate has organised (e.g. through sensors at the event; or through purchases at the event);
- communicate with us (for example, through a PMI touchpoint; or social media platforms);
- use PMI touchpoints (e.g. through tracking mechanisms in an app or a website); or
- make public posts on social media platforms that we follow (for example, in order to understand public opinion, or to respond to requests concerning PMI products).
We may also collect information about you automatically through the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies on digital PMI touchpoints. The specific cookies and technologies used will depend on the touchpoint in question. To learn about the cookies (including Google analytics cookies) and similar technologies used on a touchpoint, including how you can accept or refuse cookies, please see the cookie notice made available on or through that touchpoint. For example, to learn about cookies or similar technologies used on the www.pmi.com website, visit the pmi.com cookie notice, a link to which is available in the footer to every page of the website. The pmi.com cookie notice is also available here.
Where permitted by law, we may acquire information about you from third parties. This may include information shared between PMI affiliates, publicly-available profile information (such as your preferences and interests) on third party social media sites (such as Facebook and Twitter), and marketing lists acquired from third party marketing agencies.
We may also collect information in other contexts that were made apparent to you at the time.
What information about you do we collect?
We may collect various types of information about you:
- information necessary to fulfil your orders
- information you give us in forms or surveys
- information about your visits to our outlets
- information you give us in calls you make to call centres
- information about your preferences and interests
find out more…
Information that we collect from you directly will normally be apparent from the context in which you provide it. For example, if you order a product from us through a PMI touchpoint, you provide your name, contact, billing details, and the products you have chosen in order for us to fulfil your order; you may also provide information on your product preferences and interests in order for us to offer your products and services that will interest you.
Information that we collect automatically will generally concern:
- details of your visit or call (such as time and duration);
- in a sales outlet, which areas you visit;
- your use of digital PMI touchpoints (such as the pages you visit, the page from which you came, and the page to which you went when you left, search terms entered, or links clicked within the touchpoint); and
- your device (such as your IP address or unique device identifier, location data, details of any cookies that we may have stored on your device).
Information that we collect from third parties will generally consist of publicly-available profile information (such as your preferences and interests).
For what purposes do we use information about you, and on what legal basis?
We use information about you for various purposes, which will be specified to you, or be clear from the context, at the point information about you is first collected.
These purposes mainly comprise:
- fulfilling your orders
- processing payments
- dealing with your inquiries and requests
- enabling you to use PMI touchpoints
- administering your accounts
- administering loyalty programs (where permitted by law)
- correspondence
- administration and troubleshooting
- product improvement
- market research
- developing marketing strategies
- administering marketing campaigns
- allowing us or our business partners to inform you of potential opportunities to get involved in promoting PMI products
The legal basis for our use of information about you is:
- the performance of a contract to which you are a party: or
- for a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by interests you have to protect the information; or
- where neither of the above applies, 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:
Purpose
Method of collection and legal basis for Processing
· fulfilling your orders

This information is generally provided to us by you directly (typically, name, address, payment information) and we use it to discharge our contractual obligations to you
· to verify your age and status as a user of products containing nicotine
· dealing with your inquiries and requests
· to permit you to use PMI touchpoints
· administering loyalty programs (where permitted by law)
· correspondence, including sending you (where permitted by law) marketing communications in accordance with your communications preferences
· to invite you to participate in, and administering, surveys or market research campaigns
· administration and troubleshooting
This information is generally provided to us by you directly and we use it because we have a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by interests you have to protect personal data
· to enable you to use digital PMI touchpoints
This information is generally collected automatically and we use it because we have a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by interests you have to protect personal data
· to understand your preferences (such as what products or events may interest you or are better tailored to your needs)

· for market research
· to develop marketing strategies
· administering marketing campaigns
· allowing us or our business partners to inform you of potential opportunities to get involved in promoting PMI products
This will typically be a combination of information that you provide to us; information that we collect automatically; and (where permitted by law) information that we acquire from third parties. We use it on the grounds that we have a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by interests you have to protect personal data
Where we do not base our use of information about you on one of the above legal bases, 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 PMI affiliates or you with products or services;
- PMI affiliates’ carefully-selected business partners and advertisers so that they can contact you with offers that they think may interest you, in accordance with your preferences; and
- other third parties, where required or permitted by law.
find out more…
Sharing data with other PMI affiliates
- Information about you will be shared with Philip Morris International Management SA (based in Lausanne, Switzerland), which is the place of central administration of personal data processing for PMI affiliates. Philip Morris International Management SA processes the information about you for all the purposes described in this notice.
- Information about you may be shared with the PMI affiliate that is responsible for the country in which you live (if it wasn’t the PMI affiliate that first collected the information) for all the purposes described in this notice.
- Information about you may be shared with any other PMI affiliate that you contact (for example, if you travel and you want to know where to buy PMI products in a new country) in order to enhance our service to you.
Details of PMI affiliates and the countries in which they are established are available on the relevant country pages of www.pmi.com.
Sharing data with Third Parties
- We may share information about you with third parties who provide PMI affiliates or you with products or services (such as advisers, payment service providers, delivery providers, retailers, information services providers and age verification providers).
- We may share information about you with PMI affiliates’ carefully-selected third party business partners and advertisers so that they can contact you with products, services and promotions that they think may interest you, in accordance with your preferences.
- We may share information about you with other third parties, where required or permitted by law, for example: regulatory authorities; government departments; in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials; when we consider disclosure to be necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; and in the context of organisational restructuring.
Where might information about you be sent?
As with any multinational organisation, PMI affiliates transfer information globally. Accordingly, information about you may be transferred globally (if your information is collected within the European Economic Area, this means that your information may be transferred outside it).
find out more…
As with any multinational organisation, PMI affiliates transfer personal information globally. Accordingly, 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, territory or international organisation that may not have equivalent data protection standards.
For example, PMI affiliates within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) may transfer personal information to PMI affiliates outside the EEA. In all cases, the transfer will be on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision or PMI affiliates will implement adequate measures, for example the EU Model Contracts, in all cases including appropriate security measures, for the protection of personal information in those countries, territories or international organisations in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
How do we protect information about you?
We, like other PMI affiliates, implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information that we hold from unauthorised 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 requirements.
How long will information about you be kept?
The period for which we may retain information about you will depend on the purposes for which the information was collected, whether you have requested the deletion of the information, and whether any legal obligations require the retention of the information (for example, for tax and accounting purposes). We will not retain information about you for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected.
find out more…
Typically, we retain data based on the criteria described in the table below:
Type
Explanation/typical retention criteria
· incomplete registrations
For example, if you commence registering yourself in a database, but do not complete the process, we will retain your data for a short period to allow you to complete the process if you return.
· market research
If you are not registered in our database, and we use publicly available information about you in order to understand the market or your preferences, we will retain the information about you for a short period in order to perform the particular item of market research.
· database member (not using database or not contactable)
If you are registered in our database, but don’t use it for a longer period, we will send you a communication to notify you, and if you don’t contact us we will remove you from the database. We will do the same kind of thing if the information you give us to contact you with doesn’t work, or if it does work, but you don’t make use of our communications (for example, you don’t click through to an invitation to an event). The reason is that in these circumstances, we assume you would prefer not to receive the communications.
· profile information
Some elements of your profile, such as your purchase history, naturally go out of date after a period of time, so we delete them automatically after defined periods as appropriate for the purpose for which we collected them.
· system audit logs
System audit logs are retained typically for a period of only a few months.
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, it in certain circumstances;
- object to our using it, in certain circumstances;
- withdraw your consent to our using it;
- data portability, in certain circumstances;
- opt out from our using it for direct marketing; and
- lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country (if there is one).
We offer you easy ways to exercise these rights, such as “unsubscribe” links, or giving you a contact address, in messages you receive.
Some mobile applications we offer might also send you push messages, for instance about new products or services. You can disable these messages through the settings in your phone or the application.
find out more…
The rights you have depend on the laws of your country. If you are in the European Economic Area, you will have the rights set out in the table below. If you are elsewhere, you can contact us (see the final paragraph “who should you contact with questions?”) to find out more.
Right in respect of the information about you that we hold
Further detail (note: certain legal limits to all these rights apply)
· to request us to give you access to it
This is confirmation of whether or not we process information about you; the purpose of the processing; the categories of data concerned; and the categories of persons with whom we share the information; and the criteria for determining the period for which we will store the information. On your request we will provide you with a copy of the information we use.
· to request us to rectify or update it
This applies if the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete.
· to request us to erase it
This applies if:
· the information we hold is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which we use it;
· we use the information on the basis of your consent and you withdraw your consent;
· we use the information on the basis of legitimate interest and we find that, following your objection, we do not have an overriding interest in continuing to use it;
· the information was unlawfully used; or
· to comply with a legal obligation.
· to request us to restrict our processing of it
This right applies, temporarily while we look into your case, if you:
· contest the accuracy of the information we use; or
· have objected to our using the information on the basis of legitimate interest
(if you make use of your right in these cases, we will tell you before we use the information again).
This right applies also if:
· our use is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the data; or
· we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish a legal case.
· to object to our processing it
You have two rights here:
(i) if we use information about you for direct marketing: you can “opt out” (without the need to justify it) and we will comply with your request; and
(ii) if we use the information about you on the basis of legitimate interest for purposes other than direct marketing, you can object to our using it for those purposes, giving an explanation of your particular situation, and we will consider your objection.
· to data portability
This right applies:
(i) to data that you have provided to us; and
(ii) if we use that data on the basis either of your consent, or on the basis of discharging our contractual obligations to you.
If both (i) and (ii) apply, you have the right to receive the data back from us in a commonly used format, and the right to require us to transmit the data to someone else.
· to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country
Each European Economic Area country must provide for one or more public authorities for this purpose.
Who should you contact with questions?
If you have any questions, or wish to exercise any of your rights, you can find contact details for the relevant PMI affiliate, and if applicable data protection officer, on the relevant country page of www.pmi.com. Contact details will also be given in any communications that a PMI affiliate sends you.
If your country has a data protection authority, you have a right to contact them authority with any questions or concerns. If the relevant PMI affiliate cannot resolve your questions or concerns, you also have the right to seek judicial remedy before a national court.
