Information that is Collected
Our commitment to an engaging and personalized user experience leads us to
collect a variety of personal information. This includes data gathered during website registration and
interaction, such as through online forms, quizzes, and surveys. We also collect information through
your responses in our flavor quiz, designed to identify your preferred NOKIX flavors. Currently, our
flavor quiz is temporarily unavailable as we work on enhancing our offerings. We look forward to
reintroducing it soon, allowing us to collect information that helps us tailor our products and services
to better meet your preferences. The types of personal information we typically
collect comprise your name, for personalizing our communications; contact information including email
addresses and telephone numbers, which enables us to send you updates and offers; your postal address,
necessary for shipping and direct mail communications; and your flavor preferences, which assist us in
tailoring our product development to better suit your tastes.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
We do not sell or rent your personal information to non-affiliated third parties. Your trust is
important to us, and we ensure that your information remains confidential and used in accordance with
this Privacy Policy.
In the event that NOKIX or DrinkUp Kings LLC is sold, we may transfer or disclose your personal
information to a purchaser or prospective purchaser. This transfer will be solely for the purposes of
evaluating the proposed transaction or for other uses that are in line with this Privacy Policy.
We may engage with third-party advertising agencies to collect data and serve ads when you visit our
website. These agencies may use information about your visits to our and other websites in order to
provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. This process helps us to tailor our
marketing efforts more effectively and provide you with offers that align with your interests.
We may disclose your information if required by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to
comply with legal proceedings, respond to requests from public and government authorities, enforce our
terms and conditions, protect our operations, rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of you
or others.
If you participate in a contest, survey, promotion, our rewards program, or other special offers, we may
share your personal information with our affiliates who assist us in managing these activities. This
sharing is solely for the purpose of allowing them to communicate with you and provide necessary
services related to these activities. Communication may occur through various channels, including email,
social media posts, or other methods, ensuring you stay informed and engaged with our latest offers and
events.
Our websites and social media pages may include links to other websites operated by third parties.
Please be aware that these external websites may collect your personal information, and our Privacy
Policy does not extend to these entities. We do not assume any responsibility for the actions,
practices, and omissions of these third-party websites. We strongly recommend that you review the
privacy policies of every website you visit, especially those that collect personal information, to stay
informed about how your data may be used and protected.
Cookies and How We Use Them
While we currently utilize Google and Meta tags for analytics and performance improvements, we plan to
use cookies directly in the future to further enhance your experience on our site. This will allow us to
remember your preferences, track quiz interactions, and provide tailored content. We commit to updating
our practices and this policy to reflect these changes as they occur.
At NOKIX Sparkling Water, we use "cookies" to enhance your experience on our website and to track your
preferences and activities. Cookies are small data files that are transferred to your computer's hard
drive by our website. They play a key role in making your visits more efficient by remembering your
preferences. For instance, cookies are instrumental in tracking your results and preferences in our
Flavor Quiz, enabling us to tailor suggestions and experiences that resonate with your taste.
Cookies may store various types of information, including how often you visit our site, any registration
details, and how frequently you view certain pages or items on our website. This practice of using
cookies is widespread among major websites as it significantly improves client service.
Your web browser is likely set up to accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings
to block cookies if you prefer. Your browser's help files should provide instructions on blocking
cookies, receiving notifications of new cookies, and disabling cookies entirely. However, it's important
to remember that disabling cookies might limit some functionalities of our website and affect your
experience, particularly in areas like our Flavor Quiz where cookies provide personalized experiences.
Online Tracking and Personalized Advertising
We may utlize third-party advertising networks to enhance your experience by delivering personalized
advertisements on our website. These networks utilize various tracking technologies, such as cookies and
pixel tags, to collect information about your browsing habits and preferences. We are committed to
protecting your privacy and do not share your personal information with these networks without your
explicit consent. However, the data collected by these networks helps in providing advertising content
tailored to your interests, based on your online activities and location. It's important to note that
adjusting your browser settings to block cookies may not fully inhibit the data collection practices of
these third-party networks, and their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, separate
from ours.
If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, there is an option to opt out of certain network
advertising programs that use your information. This can be done by visiting the DAA Opt-Out Page.
Opting out doesn't mean you won't see ads online; it simply ensures that the ads you see will be less
personalized to your interests. In addition to this, many modern browsers offer a “Do Not Track”
feature, allowing users to express a preference not to be tracked across websites. However, it is
important to understand that currently, our website does not respond to these “Do Not Track” signals.
Retention of Your Personal Information
We understand the importance of safeguarding your personal data. We store your personal information only
for the period that is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy. The
duration of this storage aligns with our commitment to meet your service expectations and comply with
legal obligations. After this period, we ensure that your personal information is either securely
deleted or anonymized, adhering to applicable laws and regulations. Our approach ensures that we retain
data only as long as needed to provide you with high-quality service and maintain compliance with legal
requirements.
Safeguarding Your Information
At NOKIX Sparkling Water, ensuring the security of your personal information is a top priority. We
employ a blend of technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to mitigate the risks of loss,
misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration of your information. Our protective measures are
as robust as those we use for our own confidential data.
While we strive to provide the highest level of security, it's important to acknowledge that no system
or network can guarantee absolute security. Therefore, we cannot assure the invulnerability of your
information against all potential security breaches. However, we are committed to continuously enhancing
our security protocols and keeping your data as secure as possible.
