Tracking Technologies

We use information collected through cookies, pixels, or other tracking technologies, sometimes in combination with other Personal Information, to better understand, customize and improve your experience on the Websites, as well as to manage our advertising. For example, we may use web analytics services that leverage such information to help us understand how you engage with and navigate the Websites and to allow us to offer you a more customized, relevant experience on the Websites by delivering content and functionality based on your preferences and interests. We may also use information to display interest-based ads.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We rely on the following lawful bases to process your Personal Information for these non-exhaustive purposes:

Consent

We may obtain your consent to process your Personal Information in certain circumstances, which may include when you elect to receive information from us. We may also rely upon our legitimate interest in developing our business as a basis for sending you marketing information and information about our Services (see below).

Performance of a Contract

We rely on this lawful processing ground when we process your Personal Information to perform a contract that we have with you, or when we take steps in anticipation of entering into a contract with you, for example in connection with the provision of our Services to you and the management of our relationships with third parties.

Compliance with a Legal Obligation

We rely on this lawful processing ground when we process your Personal Information to meet legal and regulatory obligations that apply to us.

Legitimate Interests

We rely on this lawful processing ground when we process your Personal Information to provide our Services, to respond to specific requests, to manage our business operations, to manage our relationships with you and with third parties in connection with our business, and when we provide you with marketing information or other information in relation to our Services that we believe may interest you.

If you wish to have more information regarding the legitimate interests we rely on, please contact us at [email protected].

How We May Disclose Your Information

We may disclose information, including Personal Information:

to affiliates and other companies within our group of companies
to companies and individuals who perform duties on our behalf, such as product fulfillment, payment processing, website hosting, marketing, recruitment, customer service, and analytics (see how Google Analytics uses your information at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/)
to a third party that acquires all or a substantial portion of our business, whether by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets

Information Transfers

Our servers are either located in the United States or, if located in other countries, may be accessed from the United States. Please note that in countries outside your own country, and in particular outside the EU and EEA, a different standard on data protection might apply than you are used to in your own country.

By sending Personal Information to us, you acknowledge and consent that your information will be transferred across national borders, including to countries outside the EU/EEA.

If you live in the EEA, we may transfer Personal Information to countries for which adequacy decisions have been issued, use contractual protections for the transfer of Personal Information to third parties, such as an intra-company agreement that complies with the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or their equivalent under applicable law, or rely on third parties’ certification to the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, where applicable.

You may contact us at [email protected] to obtain a copy of the safeguards we use to transfer Personal Information outside of the EEA.

How We Protect Your Information

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Personal Information is stored in a central database on a secured network in the United States with stringent access controls in place. Although we have made reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Information, we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information will always stay private. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to circumvent our security measures and obtain access to your Personal Information and use it for improper purposes.

How Long We Keep Your Information

SkinSolutions only keeps Personal Information for as long as necessary. When determining the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we take into account various criteria, such as the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, purposes for which we process your Personal Information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and our business operations and legal requirements.

Browser Settings

While your browser may accept cookies automatically, you can change the settings on your browser to prevent our cookies from being automatically downloaded, or to notify you that they are ready to be downloaded. The latter will give you the option of whether or not you want to accept our cookies. If you decide to decline our cookies, however, some of the Websites’ features or services may not function as well as they would have had you accepted our cookies. While you cannot decline Web Beacons, you can decline all cookies and therefore render the Web Beacons ineffective. Please note that blocking cookies may interfere with your interest-based advertising opt-out preferences. The Services do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
