Register your Food Tool for an extra long guarantee
Register your BOSKA Food Tool now and get a lifetime guarantee. You can register at the same time to become a BOSKA Friend with Benefits for even more advantages (optional).

Is your Food Tool broken or damaged?
Let us know! If you experience problems with the quality of our products after purchase, we will look for a suitable solution together with you.

Why BOSKA offers a lifetime guarantee on a lot of Food Tools
At BOSKA, we believe high-quality products are synonymous with sustainability. In other words, Quality = Sustainability. After all, if your product lasts a lifetime, you'll never have to buy a new one. This is part of BOSKA's efforts to minimize our impact on the environment.

To achieve this, we continuously work to improve the quality of our products. Our ultimate goal is to offer a lifetime guarantee on every product in our range*.

What does this mean for you?
It means that you can use your BOSKA product for your entire life without having to worry about it becoming defective. But should this happen, we will look for a suitable solution together with you**. Make sure that you always register your Food Tool beforehand or on purchase (see below). This way, you will be able to enjoy your BOSKA Food Tools without worry and the information you provide will help us improve our products further.

*A few exceptions – 10-year warranty instead of lifetime guarantee
We've already made significant progress towards achieving our goal. For a few products, we are still hard at work trying to find a solution, such as a particular type of material or functionality that would enable us to offer a lifetime guarantee. All the same, BOSKA guarantees exceptional quality when it comes to every one of these products. That is why, for these products, we offer an additional eight years on top of the mandatory two-year warranty. In other words, a ten-year warranty applies to these products. There are, however, a few exceptions to products with electronic parts (two years) and products that are used up or depleted during their consumption, such as the Toastabags® (two years).

How long is the warranty on my Food Tool?

**Terms and conditions

Your personal data. You will leave personal data on our website (https://usa.boska.com) whenever you want to order something or request information. However, we can imagine that you would like to know why we ask for your personal data on our website and what we do with it. We will answer the questions we think you might have below. If you have any other questions after reading this Privacy Statement, please contact us via our customer service team. 

Who are we?
We are Bos Kaasgereedschappen BV, based at Spanjeweg 8 in (2411 PX) Bodegraven and registered with the chamber of commerce under number 29039753. We are the controller of personal data, as referred to in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When processing your personal data, we observe the obligations set out in the GDPR.

Safe and Secure

We use the very latest technologies to secure all of the data that you leave on our website. Anyone with no justified interest in your data will simply not be able to access it. If we pass on your data to another party – you will read below why and when we do this – we will require the party in question to handle your data with just as much care as we do and also only to use it for the purpose for which it has been provided with the data in question. If you believe that this is not the case, please let us know via our customer service team.

What do we do with your data?
We use your data for a number of different purposes. For example, in relation to the fulfillment of your order, for purposes for which you have given us your consent or for purposes that we feel are important. The various purposes are outlined below and involve the use of data received from you, but also data that we have collected ourselves. For example, data about your visit to our website. 

1. Performance of the agreement

Delivering your order
We will need your name, e-mail address, address or addresses, payment details and telephone number to be able to complete your order. This data enables us to deliver your order and also provide you with up-to-date order information.

Your account
The following are examples of the information we save in your account on our website: your name, address or addresses, telephone number, e-mail address, delivery details, age, language, invoices and orders. This is very useful, as it means that you only have to enter this data once. We also retain data about orders you have placed in the past (including the corresponding invoices), making it easy for you to find them.

Customer Service
You can call us, use the contact form on the website, contact us via social media or send an e-mail to our customer service team. We use the personal data and information that you provide to respond quickly to your questions. We process both to be able to handle your questions and/or complaints and to provide you with the level of service you are right to expect.

Competitions
If you take part in promotions or competitions, we will ask you for your name, address, e-mail address and sometimes your age and date of birth too. This enables us to apply promotions and announce the names of competition winners.

Credit
If you buy articles that you do not want to pay for straight away, we can check your creditworthiness (whether ourselves or via third parties) and see whether you are eligible for credit. This may involve the use of external agencies; see our general terms and conditions (Article 5(4)) for more information. We may pass on your data to these external agencies as part of the credit check and they will only be permitted to use your data for this specific purpose. We may call you to remind you that an invoice has not been paid yet too. We may also pass on your data to a collection agency to collect unpaid invoice amounts on our behalf.

2. Processing with your consent

E-mail newsletters (opt-out)
If you have ordered products on our website, we will use your name and e-mail address to send you our weekly newsletter containing information about similar BOSKA products and services, unless you have indicated that you do not wish to receive these e-mails.

E-mail newsletters (opt-in)
We will also use your name and e-mail address to send you our weekly e-mail newsletter if you have given us your consent to do so in any other manner.
If you do not wish to receive newsletters from us any more, unsubscribe here. It's that simple!

Reviews
We love reviews and our customers do too. If you would like to write a review, you can decide whether or not you want your personal data to be visible to other visitors. We keep a record of who writes which reviews. 

3. Processing for our justified interest

Improvement of our store and service
We continually strive to improve our services, because of which we may use your data to ask you whether you would like to take part in voluntary customer or market research. This research is always anonymous and it is never possible to trace results back to you.

Fraud
No-one likes fraud, which is why we use data to investigate, avoid and combat fraud.

Social media
Although we do not have any access to your social media accounts, you may share articles that you like or think are useful or handy with your friends. If you ask us a question via social media and we see it, we will retain your message and account name so that we are able to respond to your message.

Who do we share your data with?
We do not provide personal data to third parties, except where we are required to do so by a statutory provision.

We may also use the services of other service providers for some activities. For example, if a product that you have ordered needs to be paid for, delivered or repaired. We also bring in service providers in relation to our customer service, to do research on the improvement of our services, for fraud investigations or credit checks. These service providers (so-called processors) process personal data solely as instructed by us. We have entered into a data processor agreement with these parties, in which the service provider is required to comply with all legal obligations imposed on them by legislation and this privacy policy. Please contact the customer service team for more information about the service providers that process personal data on our behalf.

How long do we retain your personal data?
We will not process your personal data any longer than necessary for the purpose for which it is being processed.

For example, all personal data that is necessary for the delivery of the products and the fulfillment of the obligations ensuing from the sales contract will be retained as long as necessary. For example, for the duration of the warranty period or for the fulfillment of the obligations arising for us from tax legislation (seven years).

The personal data in your account will be retained while you have an account with us. You will always have the right to close your account.

If we use your personal data to send you our e-mail newsletter, we will process the corresponding personal data until you withdraw your consent for us to do so. You will always have the right to withdraw your consent, either by unsubscribing here or via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

If it is no longer necessary for us to retain personal data for the reasons indicated above, we will delete or anonymize it, except where we are required to retain certain personal data longer (i) by law (tax legislation (seven years), for example) or (ii) by virtue of a burden of proof (in the field of e-mail marketing, for example). In which case, only the personal data specifically necessary for the purpose in question during the retention period will be retained.

What are your rights?
You can ask to access, change, delete or receive your personal data via our customer service team. Unfortunately, there are situations in which we will not be able to comply your request. We will always explain the reason in question when this is the case. If you would like to receive your personal data from us and we agree, we will transfer it to you, or to another party designated by you, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

If you would like to withdraw your consent or object to the (further) processing of your personal data, please feel free to contact our customer service team about this. You can also withdraw your consent via your account.

We will delete your personal data after receiving your objection, unless we are required to retain it by virtue of mandatory, justified grounds or a legal obligation. If this is the case, we will notify you and explain our reasoning.

If you have any complaints about how we process your personal data or handle your request, please contact our customer service team. If you are unable to resolve your complaint with the customer service team, you could choose to exercise your right to submit a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl)) or appeal to the competent court.

Updates
This privacy policy may be updated at any time. If we make any changes to it, the updated version will be announced and available on the website or by e-mail at least one month before it enters into effect. We advise you to check the privacy policy on a regular basis. If you do not agree to any of the changes made, you have the right to ask us to delete your personal data.
