Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) may occasionally serve you cookies as well. We do not have access to or control over cookies placed by these third parties.

As with most websites you visit, we may automatically receive non-personally identifiable information from you as part of the communication connection itself, which often consists of network routing information (where you came from), equipment information (Internet browser type), IP addresses, date and time, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Site.

Cookies, Web Beacons & Similar Technologies
We may use "cookies" – small pieces of data or text files that are stored on your computer tied to information about you. This information will help us enhance your experience on the Site (e.g., the option of saving your username and password for the Site by placing a cookie on your personal computer). Cookies can store non-personally identifiable information, such as what websites, pages, or advertisements your browser has accessed and may be tied to the personal information you knowingly choose to provide to us. Cookies help establish a user session and allow our server to correctly provide site users with the appropriate information, advertisements and services. We use both persistent and session cookies. Session cookies exist only for as long as your browser remains open. When the session ends, the browser is closed and the cookies go away. Persistent cookies, in contrast, last from visit to visit. Persistent cookies are saved on a visitor's computer by the browser and do not go away when you exit your browser. We may use both types of cookies to enable us to collect aggregate information on the usage patterns of our Site, such as what areas of the Site are visited most often, so we can tailor our Site to user preferences.

We may use "web beacons" (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, 1-by-1 GIFs, and web bugs) – tiny graphic files placed on a web page which send a signal when a user has visited that page – allowing the Site to collect standard access information, such as time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. We use web beacons to help manage the effectiveness of our online advertising and to gather access information, such as counting the users who have visited those pages and compiling aggregated statistics about Site usage.
Our Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control. We safeguard the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and other procedures. However, it is not possible to guarantee the security or integrity of information disclosed online. As no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Because no physical or electronic security is impenetrable, by using the Site, you agree to assume all risks in connection with the information sent to us or collected by us when using the Site.
Beauty Conexion may disclose personally identifiable information to our affiliates, subsidiaries, partners, contractors and permitted agents who assist us in providing services in connection with this Site and our business. For example, when you shop for products on the Site, you may be redirected to the sephora.com website. Sephora.com is hosted by a third party and any information you provide while on that website (signing up for newsletters and/or purchasing products) will be governed by its privacy statement (please see the section entitled "Third Party Websites" below for more information). In addition, we also allow access to our database by third parties we engage to assist us in providing you certain other services. We may hire a company to help us with technical maintenance. We may also use a third party to facilitate our online services, fulfill orders, process payments or conduct surveys on our behalf. In these instances, we may need to share your personal information. Such parties may use your personally identifiable information only to provide that particular product or service and are not permitted to use personally identifiable information for any other reason. In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy business operations or assets. If some or all of the assets of our business are sold to a third party, such third party will be entitled to use the information disclosed by users of our Site. Both the personal and non-personally identifiable information that we or other third parties have collected may be transferred as part of the transaction.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose information as required by law, rule or regulation or where we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect its rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, as requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority or other legal process. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. In addition, we reserve the right to use or disclose non-personally identifiable information in any way we see fit.
Our Site may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and we do not promote or endorse any such other websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Policy applies solely to information collected by our Site and does not cover information collected elsewhere, including without limitation on websites linked to from the Site.

There may be times when you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an email list or electronic newsletter that will send information about our Site. We may use email addresses to occasionally deliver information relevant to you, such as product announcements, special events, promotions, surveys and notification of other noteworthy items.

Occasionally, our Site may request information from users via voluntary surveys or promotions. Participation in these surveys or promotions is completely voluntary and the user will choose whether to disclose information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information. Contact information will be used to notify winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use of and satisfaction with this Site.
Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, a California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship has the right to request from that business certain information regarding whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom such personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed, upon receipt of a request by a California resident. However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right. As described in this Policy, Beauty Conexion does not disclose such personal information to any third party for its direct marketing purposes without consent.
