12. The Collector Quiz and NOS Drops
Collector quiz: we score your answers on our server. Your result is free, and the condition is that you join NOS Drops, our collector emails: the quiz says so in one line under the button “Show my result” (“You join NOS Drops. Unsubscribe any time.”). To get your result you give us your email address. You are then on NOS Drops at once, without a confirmation email; your full result shows on the screen and comes to you by email, with a link that unsubscribes you in one click.
Before we accept an address, our server checks that its domain can receive email (it looks up the domain’s mail server and keeps the answer for the domain, never the address, for up to 30 days), and the page may suggest a fix for a typo such as “gmial.com”. If you left NOS Drops before, the quiz does not add you again without your own click: the result email then has a button that brings you back to NOS Drops, which works for 7 days; if you do not use it, we send you one reminder 24 hours later and delete that sign-up 7 days after the quiz.
The link to your result carries your answers and the time it was made, signed by our server, and works for 30 days. It holds no email address and no name.
For your sign-up we record the wording shown on the email step, its version, the time, that it came from the quiz (“quiz”), your collector type and, until the NOS Collector’s Course has them, your fifteen quiz answers. To limit how many emails one address can get, we keep a keyed hash of it (not the address itself) for up to two days.
With your address we also keep your collector profile from the quiz: your collector type (for example “The Diver”), your collector archetype (a four-letter code such as KFPS, “The Archivist”) and your watch DNA, that is your answers on case size, movement, dial, strap, where the watch comes from, budget and how many watches you own today. We use them to choose which watches and which emails we show you. We keep them as long as we keep your sign-up: they are deleted with it when you ask us to delete your data. Your result page and email may show how many collectors share your profile: a share of all results, from counts that hold no personal data.
You can also join NOS Drops without the quiz, on our home page or in your account. There is no box to tick: the line under the email field says that by signing up you join NOS Drops and agree to this privacy policy, and that one click unsubscribes you, any time. We then email you a link to confirm (double opt-in); you are on the list only once you click it. For these sign-ups we record the wording of that line, its version, the time and the form it came from (for example “home page” or “my account”).
On NOS Drops you get the NOS Collector’s Course: a series of short lessons about watches, the first right away, the others over about ten weeks, at most one email a day. For the course we keep a keyed hash of your address, your subscriber number, your collector type, and your quiz answers and perfect match (for the link to your result and the watches we show you) until the course is over, and never longer than 120 days. The live drop emails, the Sunday Steal link and our broadcasts start after the fifth lesson; after the last lesson you simply stay on the list.
The NOS Drops emails: we send them ourselves, from our own website, with no newsletter service. Every one has an unsubscribe link, and mail programs that offer one-click unsubscribe can use it; once you unsubscribe, the course stops and nothing more is sent.
To send them in small batches we keep, per email, your subscriber number on our list, a keyed hash of your address (not the address itself) and whether it was sent; these entries are deleted 30 days after the email went out (for the welcome emails and the lessons of the course we keep only the keyed hash, so you never get one twice). Our log of each email holds counts only: how many were queued, sent, failed or skipped.
Our collector quiz on Facebook (a lead ad with an Instant Form): you answer nine of the quiz’s questions in a form inside Facebook, which fills in your email address for you. The form says that submitting it adds you to NOS Drops, our collector emails, and that one click unsubscribes you, any time. Meta passes us your answers, your email address, the time you sent the form and which form and ad it came from (what Meta itself does with your data, its own privacy policy says). We add you to NOS Drops at once, recording the form’s wording, its version, the time of the form, the source “facebook_lead_form” and the campaign tags facebook / lead_form / instant_quiz, score your answers and email you your result with your personal discount code. If you left NOS Drops before, we do not add you and send nothing. For each lead we keep Meta’s lead number, its form and ad, a keyed hash of your address (so that no lead and no address is handled twice), what happened and when; your address, your profile and your consent are kept as for the quiz on our website.
If you opened the quiz through a link with campaign tags (for example one of our ads), we note those tags (source, medium, campaign and ad) with the quiz counts and with your sign-up, to see which ads bring subscribers. No cookie is set for this.
We do not store your IP address; a keyed hash of it is kept for up to two days to stop abuse. The counts we keep about the quiz (how many started, reached question 5 and question 10, finished, signed up, and how many got each profile) are daily totals and hold no personal data: no IP address, no cookie, no answers.
Your personal discount code: when the quiz sends you your result, the same email brings a discount code made for you. It works only with your email address, once, on one watch, for 72 hours. We keep it in our shop’s list of discount codes with your address, when it was made and whether an order used it. If you are no longer on NOS Drops and the code was not used, we delete it 7 days after it was made.
When you buy from us, your order includes NOS Drops, our collector emails about new watches and live drops (as the ePrivacy rules allow for customers, Art. 13(2) of Directive 2002/58/EC). The checkout says so in one line above the Place order button: “Your order includes NOS Drops, our collector emails about new watches and live drops. One click unsubscribes you, any time.” Next to it is an unticked box, “No NOS Drops emails for me”: tick it and we do not add you, and we keep a note of your address and your order with that choice so that no later order adds you either (if you were on NOS Drops already, ticking it takes you off). If you do not tick it, we add the billing email address of your order to NOS Drops once the order is paid, without a confirmation email (your order is the basis), and send you one welcome email. For this we record the wording of that line, its version, the time of your order, the source “checkout” and the order number. If you unsubscribed from NOS Drops before, an order never adds you again. Every NOS Drops email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
