Last updated: Aug 05, 2021

Last updated: Oct 10, 2024

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) governs the information Combe Incorporated, and our affiliated and subsidiary companies and brands, collects from you including through our websites, applications, email communications, social media pages, and other interactive features and online services (“Services”), unless a separate privacy policy is specifically referenced or posted. To the extent that you provide us with information offline this Policy applies if we provide you with a link to this Policy or information on how to access it.

Please note: If you do not agree with the terms of this Policy and the applicable Terms of Use, do not access or use the Services or provide information to us. You should review our Terms of Use, which incorporates this Policy and governs your use of our Services. Certain features or services discussed in this Policy may or may not be offered through the Services at any particular time. By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of information as described in this Policy.

UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

To the extent allowed by applicable law, we may change this Policy. The “Last Updated” legend at the top of this Policy indicates the last revisions of this Policy. Any changes become effective when we post the revised Policy on the Services. In certain circumstances when we make material changes we will post the changes, which then may become effective at a later date, as indicated. We may also provide notice of changes to this Policy in other ways, such as through the contact information you have provided. Your continued use of the Services following these changes means that you accept the revised Policy to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If required, we will provide notice and obtain your consent (opt-in or opt-out). Note, that in order to continue to use the Services you may need to affirmatively consent to our new policies.

INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT

We collect information from you in a variety of ways: directly at your direction, automatically when you visit the Services, and sometimes from third parties. Some of this information may be considered “personal information” or “personal data” under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you to be personal information. Examples of personal information include your real name, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, email address, account name, social security number, governmental id numbers or other similar identifiers, We treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as “personal information” where required by applicable law. And, if we combine information we consider to be non-personal with personal information, we will treat that combined information as personal information under this Policy and as required by law.

Note that we may anonymize or de-identify personal information so that it is non-personal, such as by aggregating it or converting it to a code, sometimes using a function commonly known as a “hash.” We will treat de-identified information or any information that is encrypted as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.

Information You Provide To Us Directly

This is information that you voluntarily provide as part of interacting with Combe. For example, we may ask you to provide information in order to fulfill your request for information, a product or support, such as when you sign-up for our newsletter or make a purchase, including contact information (such as your name, postal address, telephone number, email address) and other information such as demographic information (for example, your gender, birth day and month, or similar information). Certain features may also collect information about your preferences and interests. We may also collect information regarding your account with Combe (such as your user account ID and password). If you utilize our Virtual Try-on feature you are voluntarily providing us with a photograph of you for the purposes of the Virtual Try-on session.

Since certain Services may allow you to purchase products directly from us, we may ask for payment information (such as credit and debit card number and associated card information) to conduct your purchase and fulfill shipment.

In certain circumstances we may collect information from you “offline”, such as when you contact Combe’s Consumer Resources department for support.

If you submit any personal information to us relating to other individuals or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Policy.

Information Collected Automatically

We and third party analytics and advertising companies and other business partners may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you access our Services or otherwise interact with us or our content (“Usage Information”). Examples of Usage Information include the hardware model, browser, and operating system you are using, your MAC address, computer type, screen resolution, device, language settings, the URL or advertisement that referred you to our Services, the areas within our Services that you visit, your time zone, location information, and mobile network (if applicable), among other information. The preceding list does not mean that we collect all of these types of Usage Information. However, we do automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access our Services in the same way that virtually every website and mobile app do as part of their operation.

We may be able to infer your approximate location through information we collect, such as IP address. In some cases, we may directly collect location information through your device. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through the settings on your device or you may utilize various technologies, such as Virtual Private Networks, which provide the ability to “disguise” your IP addresses and actual location by design. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third party business partners with information regarding the physical location of the device used to access our Services.

Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if Combe associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person or applicable law requires it, Combe treats such Usage Information as personal information.

Various methods may be used to collect Usage Information. At various times Combe may use any or all of the following:

Cookies: Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using generally while using a web browser. Cookies allow us to collect information such as your browser type, pages visited, language preferences and other traffic data. We and our third party business partners use this information for security purposes, to see how people use our Service and facilitate navigation, to display information and personalize your experience while using the Services, and to recognize your computer in order to assist your experience with our Services. We also gather statistical information to improve their design and functionality, understand how they are used, and assist us with resolving questions regarding them.

You can disable cookier in most browsers, either by website or overall, either automatically or on a case-by-case basis at a particular website. For more information about cookies the following website is a good starting point: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html. You should also acquaint yourself with your browsers’ privacy and data settings.

Note, if you choose to disable cookies on your device, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Services or some features may not function properly. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer, and you may need to log-in every time you visit. You also may not receive advertising or other offers from us that are relevant to your interests – we leave the choice up to you.

Pixel Tags and other similar technologies: Pixel tags are small graphic images or other web programming code (also known as “web beacons”, “1x1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and e-mail messages. Pixel tags or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including to count visitors to the Services, monitor how users navigate the Services, compile statistics about usage of the Services and response rates to our e-mail messages, and measure the success of our marketing campaigns.

In addition, we may use these and a variety of other technologies that collect Usage Information and similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.

User Content Submissions

The Services may provide you the opportunity to participate and post content publicly, such as product reviews or in connection with a sweepstakes. You may choose, through such features or otherwise, to submit or post comments, photographs, videos, or other content (collectively, “User Content”). Any user content you submit is subject to our Terms of Use, and may be used by Combe for its business and marketing purposes and may be published online or offline.

Note that anything you choose to submit or publicly post to the Services may be public—others will have access to your User Content and may share it with third parties. If you choose to voluntarily disclose personal information, that information may be considered public information and the protections of this Privacy Policy will not apply. You are responsible for any User Content you submit or make publicly available.

Information Third Parties Provide About You

Combe may receive information about you from third parties, including business partners and data providers. For example, if you are on another website and you agree to receive information from Combe, that site will forward your information to us so that we may contact you. And, we may supplement the information we collect with outside records from third parties, such as public databases, publicly available web pages, and third parties who enhance the information we have about you. We use this information to better provide you with information and products, to tailor our content and the offers we show you, and for other business purposes.

Social Media Interactions

The Services may link to our pages on an interactive third party website or and may facilitate interactions with third party social media, such giving you the opportunity to “like” or “share” content. You may also be able to log-in through or otherwise connect your account on a social media service (e.g., Facebook or Twitter). When you interact with social media through our Services, we will receive information about you from that third-party service and they may set their own cookies and collect information about your use of the Services, including your IP address or other Device Identifier and which page you are visiting on the Services. Your interactions with social media and postings on social media are subject to the policies and terms of the third party social media company.

To find out more about “Do Not Track”, please visit www.allaboutdnt.com.

THIRD PARTY SERVICES

The Services may contain content that is served by someone else or links to third-party content or web sites that Combe does not manage or control. This Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties.

We use commercially reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures designed to protect the information we collect. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet, wireless transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Services);
  • Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); or
  • Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

The Services are intended for a general audience and We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals younger than the age of 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a user who is younger than age 16, we will delete the information from our active databases.

Residents of California have the right to request that we disclose to you what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, and sell, including the right to request that we provide to you the specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you in the prior 12 months (“Right to Know”) and you have the right to ask us to delete the Personal Information we collect about you (“Right to Delete”), subject to exceptions set forth in the CCPA. California residents also have the right to opt-out from the sale of their Personal Information. These rights are subject to some limitations, such as when we are retaining data to comply with our own legal obligations. You will not be required to create an account with us in order to submit a request. More information on each of these rights is below.

If you would like to authorize an agent to act on your behalf in submitting a request to know, request to delete, or request to opt-out of the sale of your Personal Information, you may do so by following the instructions below for making a request and indicating that you would like to authorize an agent to act on your behalf. We will follow up to request additional information and documentation, including a signed Declaration of Authorized Agent. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf, we may deny the request.

When you request access to the Personal Information we have collected or deletion of your Personal Information, we will typically provide the requested information within 45 days, and we will notify you within that time period if we need additional time to process your request.

You may also be able to limit the access these third-party advertising companies have to information about you when you use our Site by installing a browser or browser extension that can enable you to block the functionality of some tracking technologies.

If you use different computers or browsers, you may need to indicate your opt-out choices across those computers and browsers.
