PAYMENT
Bally accepts Visa, Visa Debit, AMEX, AMEX Debit, MasterCard, MasterCard Debit, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay and Klarna.
Please note that additional payment authentication may be required by your card issuer such as Verified by Visa, MasterCard Secure Code and AMEX SafeKey.
For any information regarding payments and refunds done with Klarna, we kindly invite you to check on https://www.klarna.com/ .
The security of your personal data is very important to Bally. To guarantee a secure purchasing experience and to protect your data transmitted via the Internet, Bally uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. All payment processes on the website are processed via Adyen, a secure online payment gateway, which encrypts your payment information in a secure host environment, and the second EU Payment Services Directive (PSD2), managed by the European Commission, a secondary form of identity authentication. Due to the requirements of the PSD2, it may be necessary to go through a verification step during the payment process when paying with a credit or debit card.
With Visa©, MasterCard© and American Express© credit cards, a 3D Secure process may be required. In this additional step, the identity of the cardholder is checked during the payment process and the online transaction is confirmed. Every bank has its own authentication procedure. If you have any questions about 3D SecureCode, please contact your bank directly.
We treat all data that you send to us in strict confidence. Further information can be found in our Privacy Policy, which you can access <u><a href='#privacy-policy'>here</a></u>.
Bally only deducts the amount to be paid when your order is dispatched from our warehouse. However, your card issuer / payment provider may secure the amount paid at the time of the order.
At this time, we are unable to provide a tax-back (tax refund) service for any of our online customers.

If the user is purchasing as a guest customer we will not process their data for profiling purposes.

3.2 We collect the following types of personal information (together called “data”) to enable you to use and access our website and/or the relevant electronic commercial services to help us to personalise and improve your experience of the website:

Bally takes the protection of the personal data of children very seriously.

Children are not allowed to create their own user account without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. If you are under 16 years of age, please purchase our products with the consent of your legal guardian directly or indirectly via their account. If we realise that we have collected personal data from a child without the prior, demonstrable consent of a parent, the data will be deleted as quickly as possible. If you have concerns about the privacy of your child’s data or believe that your child might possibly have given us personal data, please send an email to privacy@bally.ch

At the end of this period your data is permanently erased or permanently anonymised.
7.2 We protect the data of our users by taking technical and organisational security measures to minimise the danger of loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure and alteration. Some of the protection measures that we use are firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to our data centres as well as authorisation controls when accessing information.
7.3 We take the necessary steps to ensure that the user data we collect is correct and up to date, and we offer users the option of updating their information as described in this Privacy Policy.

(a) all other companies within the Bally Group that are headquartered in countries within and/or outside the EEA, Including Bally Schuhfabriken AG, if this is required to fulfill the given purposes. All security and data protection measures are implemented throughout the entire Group to create an appropriate data protection level regardless of the geographical headquarters of the particular company of the Bally Group, which is the recipient of the aforementioned data.

(c) other third parties where users specifically request us to send them their information; this is the case, for example, when you make a direct request to our customer service through our official social media and other digital communication channels, in which case your information will be shared with other third party business entities responsible for such third party platforms (such as WhatsApp, WeChat, etc.) and the terms and conditions and privacy policies of these third parties will apply to their processing of your data. Make sure you have read and understood the applicable General Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy of these business units before you use these communication channels.

(e) other business entities, should we plan to merge with a business entity or be taken over by such a business entity. Should such a merger take place, we will demand that the new company follow this Privacy Policy with regard to user data.
8.3 The aforementioned recipients of user data will process it as data processors and/or persons responsible for processing the data, for the same purposes as described above and in accordance with applicable data protection law. Bally can demand the list of data processors and the recipients of data at any time.
8.4 If user data is used or disclosed for purposes that are not described in this Privacy Policy, the user is informed in advance.

You also have the right to submit a complaint to a Data Protection Authority in your country of residence (you can find the contact details for all EU/EAA Data Protection Authorities here).
In cases where the personal data stored in our systems is insufficient to identify you or to answer your query, we need appropriate proof of your identity or additional relevant personal data resulting from your relationship with us before we can respond to your query.
On request, you can empower another person to exercise your rights within the parameters of this Privacy Policy. This person then functions as your personal representative. If your representative sends us a query to exercise your rights pursuant to this Privacy Policy, we can request that they produce proof that you have given them permission to make the query on their behalf. In this instance, we can also try to check your identity directly and/or request that you confirm the authorisation of the representative to act on your behalf.
