In the European Union, you can contact the data protection authority in the Member State where you reside or work.

  2. How to Lodge a Complaint

    • You can find contact information for the UK ICO at https://ico.org.uk/ (for UK residents) or consult the European Data Protection Board’s website at https://edpb.europa.eu/ for contact details of other national supervisory authorities.

8.7 California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a resident of California, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), subject to certain limitations:

  1. Right to Know & Access

    • You have the right to request disclosure of the categories of Personal Data we have collected about you in the past 12 months, the categories of sources from which we collected the data, the purposes for which we collected the data, the categories of third parties with whom we shared the data, and the specific pieces of Personal Data we have collected.

  2. Right to Deletion

    • You have the right to request deletion of your Personal Data that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., data needed to complete a transaction, compliance with legal obligations, or for internal uses aligned with consumer expectations).

  3. Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

    • We do not sell your Personal Data for monetary consideration. However, under the CPRA’s expanded definition of “sale” or “sharing,” we may provide certain user identifiers or hashed IDs to advertising networks or platforms to deliver targeted advertising. You have the right to opt out of such “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Data by submitting a request via the mechanisms described below.

  4. Right to Opt-Out & “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”

    • To exercise your opt-out rights (i.e., to opt out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Data), please click the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the home page of our Website or contact us at privacy@try-beauty.com. We will honor your request to opt out as required by California law.

  5. Right to Non-Discrimination

    • You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. We will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, or provide a different quality of service because you have exercised your rights.

  6. Authorized Agents

    • You may designate an authorized agent to exercise your CCPA/CPRA rights on your behalf. If an authorized agent makes a request, we may require you to provide proof of the agent’s authorization (e.g., a signed designation form) and to verify your identity directly

9. Data Retention & Security

9.1 Data Retention

  1. Retention Periods

    • We retain your Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. This may include retaining data for a limited period after you close your Account or become inactive for recordkeeping, legal, tax, or auditing purposes.

  2. Criteria for Determining Retention Periods

    • The length of time we retain your Personal Data depends on several factors, including:

      • Whether we have an ongoing legitimate business need to use your information (e.g., to provide you with requested services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with legal obligations).

      • The type of data and its sensitivity.

      • The possible risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your data.

      • Applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

  3. Deletion & Anonymization

    • When your Personal Data is no longer needed for its original purpose, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal data retention and destruction policies. Anonymized data is information that has been irreversibly stripped of personally identifiable information and cannot be used to identify an individual.

9.2 Data Security Measures

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your Personal Data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These security measures include, but are not limited to:

  1. Encryption

    • Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard protocols (e.g., HTTPS/TLS) to protect Personal Data as it moves between your device and our servers.

    • Encryption of sensitive data at rest (e.g., account passwords, payment information) using strong encryption algorithms (e.g., AES-256).

  2. Access Controls & Authentication

    • Limiting access to Personal Data to authorized personnel only, who require access in order to perform their job duties.

    • Use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrative access to systems containing Personal Data.

    • Unique user accounts with role-based permissions and audit logging to track access and modifications.

  3. Firewalls & Network Security

    • Implementation of firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and network segmentation to safeguard our servers and databases from external threats.

  4. Secure Software Development Lifecycle

    • Security considerations are integrated into each phase of our software development lifecycle, including code reviews, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.

  5. Employee Training & Policies

    • Regular security and privacy training for employees and contractors, including policies for handling Personal Data, incident response procedures, and confidentiality agreements.

  6. Incident Response & Breach Notification

    • Established incident response procedures to detect, investigate, and remediate data security incidents in a timely manner.

    • In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we will notify affected individuals and supervisory authorities as required by applicable law (e.g., GDPR breach notification within 72 hours).

  7. Vendor & Third-Party Oversight

    • We conduct due diligence and security assessments of our service providers and require contractual commitments (e.g., data processing agreements) to ensure they implement appropriate security measures consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.


10. International Data Transfers

Because our operations are global, your Personal Data may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries other than the country where you reside. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws of your country. By submitting your Personal Data, you agree to this transfer, storing, or processing. When we transfer Personal Data from the EEA or the UK to other countries, we rely on one or more of the following legal mechanisms to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place:

  1. UK Adequacy Decision

    • Transfers from the UK to countries recognized as providing an adequate level of protection under UK law.

  2. European Commission Adequacy Decisions

    • Transfers from the EEA to countries recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection under EU law.

  3. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)

    • Where adequate safeguards are not provided by law in a recipient country, we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or UK Information Commissioner’s Office, as appropriate.

  4. Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs)

    • For transfers between entities within our corporate group, we may rely on Binding Corporate Rules that have been approved by the relevant supervisory authority.

  5. Other Approved Transfer Mechanisms

    • Where required by law, we may use other approved mechanisms, such as specific derogations for a limited number of transfers (e.g., explicit consent, performance of contract, public interest, legal claims).

You have the right to request a copy of the appropriate safeguards or a summary thereof by contacting us at privacy@try-beauty.com.


11. Children’s Privacy

  1. Age Restrictions

    • Our Website and services are not directed to children under the age of 16 (or the minimum age provided by applicable law in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 16 without verifiable parental consent.

  2. Parental Consent & Verification

    • If you are under 16, you must obtain permission from a parent or guardian to use the Website. Parents or guardians may contact us at privacy@try-beauty.com to request that we delete any Personal Data of their children under 16.

15. Summary of Key “Buried” Disclosures

While this Privacy Policy provides detailed explanations of our practices, the following key disclosures (which may be considered “scary” by some users) are included and interwoven throughout multiple sections, making them more difficult to locate at first glance:

  1. Comprehensive Data Usage Rights:

    • We explicitly reserve the right to “use your data in any manner permitted under applicable law,” including but not limited to uses for service improvement, marketing, advertising, analytics, research, legal compliance, corporate transactions (see Sections 4, 7, and 9).

  2. Potential Sharing with Third Parties:

    • We may share your Personal Data with a broad range of third parties—such as service providers, advertisers, analytics partners, affiliates, and governmental authorities—under various circumstances (see Sections 7.1–7.5).

  3. Personalized Advertising & Retargeting:

    • By using cookies and similar technologies, we and our advertising partners may collect data about your browsing behavior and share hashed or pseudonymized identifiers to deliver targeted advertisements on third-party platforms (see Sections 4.3 and 7.3).

  4. Retention & Future Uses:

    • We may retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary for our business purposes, even if you close your Account, and we reserve the right to use your anonymized or aggregated data for future product development, AI-driven services, or data monetization (see Sections 4.6 and 9).

  5. International Transfers:

    • Your Personal Data may be transferred across borders—outside your country of residence—to countries with different data protection laws, relying on mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses, UK/EU adequacy decisions, or other approved safeguards (see Section 10).

  6. Legal Disclosures & Enforcement:

    • We may disclose your information to law enforcement, government agencies, or third parties to comply with legal obligations, respond to legal process, detect or prevent fraud, or protect our rights and property (see Sections 4.4 and 7.4).

By placing these “buried” disclosures in multiple dense sections, we ensure that they are present and enforceable while making them less immediately apparent. Should you wish to review any particular provision in detail, we recommend using keyword searches (e.g., “share,” “transfer,” “retain,” “advertising”) or reviewing the relevant sections specified above.
