  • Public Information: If you choose to share information about yourself in an open format or forum, whether in the user generated content elements of our Site or Social Third-Party Sites, we will consider that information to be public information and not personal information subject to this Policy.  The user generated content elements of our own Site include, but are not limited to, our blogs, customer ratings and reviews.  The Social Third-Party Sites include, but are not limited to, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. 
  • Product and Service User-Related Information: We collect and store any information you enter on the Site that you provide to us when you use our products or services, including order/purchase and Site use history tracking. We may also occasionally ask you to voluntarily provide information, such as your opinions about our products and services via surveys and questionnaires, which is not required to purchase our products.  As detailed more fully below, we use the information that you provide for such purposes as order fulfillment; marketing and promotional activities; product, service, and Site improvement; personalization; customer service; updates; and product and service recommendations.
  • Information We Collect Automatically: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, our servers automatically recognize your computer’s IP address and other technical information about your web browser and domain name. See the section below entitled “IP Address Information” for more information. In addition, like many websites, we also use “cookies,” and other automated tools to obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses the Site and through your online interactions with the Site. Please see the section of this Privacy Policy entitled “What About Cookies” for more information about our use of “cookies.” As detailed more fully below, we may use the information gathered through these methods in anonymous or aggregated form to analyze ways to improve our products and services.


2. IP Address Information

For each visitor to the Site, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor’s IP address, as well as other technical information about the visitor’s Web browser and domain name. In addition, our servers may look at your computer’s IP address or other information to display specific or localized content and advertisements that you may be interested in based on the geographic location of your computer, to enable certain features, and to display the appropriate currency. 

We do not combine this IP address or location information with personally identifiable information about you unless you have established a user account on the Site. If you have an account, your IP address may be combined with the information you provided to us when establishing that account and the information collected about you as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy and any information that we automatically collect about your visit to our Site (please see above for more information about the information we automatically collect from you when you visit the Site).


3. What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on the Site. For example, we use cookies to track information about how often you visit our website, what pages you view and where you go after you leave our website. We also link the visitor ID from your cookie to a user ID in our database to help us analyze web traffic and statistics. Cookies also allow us to make it easier for you to navigate the Site by, among other things, recognizing you if you are a registered user and tracking your order as you shop on the Site. We may engage third parties to help us with data research and analysis.  In addition, our third party ad serving networks may use cookies to gather non-personally identifiable information about your visits to the Site as well as other websites in order to target advertisements for goods and services. 

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, having cookies enabled allows you to take full advantage of some of the features on the Site and some of the features and services on the Site will not function properly if cookies are disabled.

In addition, if a third party ad serving network is a member of the Network Advertising Initiative, you may also opt out of placement of certain ad-serving cookies used by such third party ad serving networks through this link www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.


4. How CoreBeauty Uses Your Personal Information.

We use the information we gather for the following purposes: 

  • Order Fulfillment: To provide our products and services to you, to bill you for products and services; to communicate with you concerning your request for products and services; and for other authorization, account history, maintenance, and billing purposes. This may include credit card authorization and verification.
  • Marketing and Promotional Activities: To provide you with news and newsletters, special offers, promotions, and targeted advertising. 
  • Product, Service, and Site Improvement: To better understand how users access and use our products and services, including the Site and advertising, on an aggregated and individualized basis, for the purposes of improving our products and services and to respond to customer desires and preferences, including by asking you to participate in surveys about products and services.
  • Personalized Content: To improve our software and services by providing personalized experiences and recommendations, location customization, personalized help and instructions, or other responses to your and other customers’ usage of our products and services.
  • Customer Service: To provide customer service functions, including handling customer inquiries and complaints.
  • Product Recommendations: To offer products that may be of interest to you. 

 

5. When and How Does CoreBeauty Share Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as compatible with the purposes described above, when we have your permission, or as described in this section. 

  • CoreBeauty Subsidiaries/Affiliates: We may share your information with subsidiaries and affiliates that we own or control but only if those entities are either subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy.
  • Contractors and Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance (including data concerning marketing and promotional programs), providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, providing customer service, or for other purposes within the ordinary course of business. These third parties have access to personal information needed to perform their functions on our behalf. We are not liable for the acts or omissions of these third parties, except as provided by applicable law.
  • Third Party Sites: We may recommend or review third party products or services, with links to third party websites.  When we do this, we do not give that business your personal information. If you click on a link that takes you to a third party’s website, you may, at some point, be required to provide personal information to the other business. If so, you will have an opportunity to review that other entity’s privacy policy and decide for yourself whether or not to do business with them.

    While we strive to provide links only to the websites of other reputable entities, we cannot be responsible for how a third party collects or handles personal information obtained directly from you. Each such third party entity’s use of your information is governed by its own privacy policy and/or terms of use. 
  • Jointly Offered Products and Services: From time to time we may offer products or services jointly with another entity, or may offer an additional product or service from another entity that in some way enhances our products or services.  In such cases, our use of your personal information is governed by this Privacy Policy, and the other entity’s use of your personal information is governed by that entity’s own privacy policy and/or terms of use. 
  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses. In such transactions, customer information generally would be one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).
  • Protection of CoreBeauty and Others: We reserve the right to disclose your personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of CoreBeauty, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction purposes. This does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personal information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of this Privacy Policy.
  • Non-United States Residents: Data collected from users outside the United States will be stored at a destination in the United States and may be accessed by individuals in the United States. By submitting any information to us, you agree to this storage and processing of data as described in this Privacy Policy. European residents should note the data protection laws in countries outside the European Union, including the United States, may not be equal to the level of data protection under European Union – or European Economic Area – member state law. However, CoreBeauty will take reasonable measures to ensure an adequate level of protection of the personal data in its possession, as described more fully below.


6. How Secure Is Information About Me?

We take commercially reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we work to protect the security of your personal information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. That said, please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security all of the time. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information, and you transmit all information at your own risk.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. We strongly recommend that you implement measures to protect your computer from unauthorized access such as firewall protection and anti-virus software.


7. Social Commerce and Other Third Parties

We connect to your social networks by working with social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter and engaging social network consultants.  These companies operate Social Third-Party Sites. These third parties have access to our Site for the purpose of assisting us in marketing our products to members of your social network and allowing you to share interest in us or our products with friends or members in your network.  When you use a feature which one of these third parties makes available to you on our Site, such as Facebook’s “Like” feature, we or a third party may collect or share information about you.  The Social Third Party Sites make this information publicly available and we consider this information public information not protected by this Privacy Policy.  If you do not want a Social Third Party Site to allow us to be able to access information about you from their sites, you must instruct the Social Third Party Sites not to share the information. 

 

8. Can I Access My Personal Information?

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect and store is reliable, accurate, complete, and current.

You can always access and change/correct the personal information you have provided to us in connection with creating an account by logging into your account.

You may access the personal information we have collected about you, except where the burden or expense of providing access to you is disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or where the rights of others may also be violated, by sending a written request to:

9. What Choices Do I Have?
