How We Use Your Personal Information

The personal information that you submit to us remains your property. We will never sell, rent, exchange or barter your personal information to or with any third party for financial gain or marketing purposes.

Without limiting the foregoing, we primarily use your personal information for internal purposes, such as studying our customers’ preferences and improving the customer experience.

In connection with responding to your request for, and/or use of, the SkinStylus® Offerings, and/or in connection with the Interactive Services associated therewith, we may contact you at any time, via e-mail, telephone or other means, with updates and/or any other information that we may deem appropriate for you to receive in connection with your requests for information, continued use of the SkinStylus® Offerings and to market and/or keep you informed of certain other SkinStylus® products and/or services that we think might be of interest to you. If you wish to stop receiving the Newsletter and other future communications from us, please see the Opt-Out/Unsubscribe section below.

Without limiting the foregoing, where you provide “prior express written consent” within the meaning of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 USC § 227), and its implementing regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (47 CFR § 64.1200), as amended from time-to-time (“TCPA”), you consent to receive SMS text messages and telephone calls, including artificial voice and pre-recorded messages and/or calls delivered via automated technology, to the telephone number(s) that you provided, from us relating to your use of the SkinStylus® Offerings.

You further acknowledge and agree that you are not required to consent to the above stated terms to gain access to the SkinStylus® Offerings.

By submitting your telephone number to SkinStylus®, if ever, you agree that such act constitutes a purchase, an inquiry and/or an application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR §310 et seq.

With respect to the ATSR, and notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call List, we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the terms of the ATSR.

We may permit our third-party agents, service providers and subcontractors to access your personal information (including credit/debit card information), but they are only permitted to do so in connection with performing services for us and/or to operate and/or provide the SkinStylus® Offerings. They are not authorized to use your personal information for their own benefit.

These cookies are not linked to your personally identifiable information. To find out more about cookies, please visit www.cookiecentral.com.

Most Internet browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. To disable and reject certain cookies, follow the instructions associated with your Internet browser. Even in the case where a user rejects a cookie, he or she may still use the SkinStylus® Offerings.

Web Beacons

“Web beacons,” or clear gifs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Web beacons are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We utilize web beacons to help us better manage the Content on the Site by informing us what Content is effective. We do not link the information gathered by web beacons to your personally identifiable information.

Behavioral Tracking

SkinStylus® does not itself use cookies, web beacons, pixels and other tracking technology on the Site for purposes of tracking end-users’ activities after they leave the Site. However, third parties such as Google® and Adroll® use cookies and other tracking technology to track end-users’ activities after they leave the Site. These third parties use the cookies/tracking technology to target applicable end-users with advertisements regarding the SkinStylus® Offerings and other products and/or services that SkinStylus® thinks may be of interest to applicable end-users. End-users may be able to disable some, but not all, of this tracking activity by utilizing the “Do Not Track” setting or similar options within most major Internet browsers. To the greatest extent permissible under applicable law, we are not responsible for the tracking practices of third parties in connection with the Site.

Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information

SkinStylus® reserves the right to collect and share, rent, sell (with third party advertisers and marketers on an aggregate, non-personally identifiable basis) and otherwise utilize in any manner permitted by law, aggregate data related to the usage of the SkinStylus® Offerings, as well as demographic data about you. Such information will include broad demographic categories about SkinStylus® Offerings users, their preferences, activities, location and other information; provided, however, that such aggregate information will never be linked to any of your personally identifiable information.

Social Media Pages/Interactive Services

If you interact with SkinStylus® or any third parties by and through the Interactive Services or any Social Media Pages, you should be aware that the personal information that you submit by and through such venues can be read, collected and/or used by other users of these forums (depending on your privacy settings associated with the accounts you have with the hosts of such Social Media Pages, if applicable), and could be used to send you unsolicited messages or otherwise to contact you without your consent or desire. We are not responsible for the personal information that you choose to submit in these forums.

The Social Media Pages reside on websites (“Social Media Sites”) that are operated independently from SkinStylus®, and we are not responsible for such Social Media Sites’ interfaces or privacy or security practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings of the Social Media Sites with which you interact to help you understand those Social Media Sites’ privacy practices. If you have questions about the security and privacy settings of any Social Media Sites that you use, please refer to their applicable privacy notices or policies.

Security

The privacy of your personal information is very important to us. We endeavor to safeguard and protect our end-users’ personal information. When end-users make personal information available to us, their personal information is protected both online and offline (to the extent that we maintain any personal information offline). When our registration process asks end-users to submit sensitive information (such as credit/debit card information), and when we transmit such sensitive information, that sensitive information is encrypted and is protected with secure socket layer (“SSL”) encryption software.

Access to your personal information is strictly limited, and we take reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is not accessible to the public. The servers that we store personal information in are kept in a secure physical environment. We also have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control.

Please be advised, however, that while we take every reasonable precaution available to protect your data, no storage facility, technology, software, security protocols or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Computer hackers may circumvent our security measures and gain access to certain portions of your personal information, and technological bugs, errors and glitches may cause inadvertent disclosures of your personal information; provided, however, that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software constitutes a crime punishable by law. For the reasons mentioned above, we cannot warrant that your personal information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data done on or through the Site is at your own risk.

Only employees or third party agents who need personal information to perform a specific job function are granted access to our end-users’ personal information. Employees not adhering to our internal privacy policies are subject to disciplinary action.

In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your personal information. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.

You may do so by contacting us via e-mail at: info@skinstylus.com; provided, however, that we ask individuals to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes).

Please be advised that deleting your personal information will limit our ability to contact you in connection with the SkinStylus® Offerings, which may limit your ability to utilize the SkinStylus® Offerings. If you wish to be contacted by us in connection with the SkinStylus® Offerings, you may not delete the personal information that we have on file for you.

Please be further advised that, after you delete your personal information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems.
