We may use "cookies" or “flash cookies” to keep, and sometimes track, information about you. Cookies are small data files that are stored on your computer's hard drive and can be used to collect information about where you travel on our Website and what you look at on our Website. Flash cookies (also called Local Shared Objects) are data files similar to cookies except that they can store more complex data. Cookies and flash cookies may store the information in your shopping cart, your username and/or password, settings, preferences or your IP address. All of these purposes serve to improve and personalize your experience on our Website.
• CLEAR GIFS
We may use "clear GIFs" (aka "Web beacons" or "pixel tags") or similar technologies, in the Website and/or in our communications with you to enable us to know whether you have visited a specific page on the Website or received a message. A clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a Website page or in an e-mail that communicates to us whether you viewed an email that we sent you or visited a certain page on our Website. A clear GIF may enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a Website page or message to other information about you, including your Personal Information.
• IP ADDRESS AND CLICKSTREAM DATA
Our server automatically collects data about your server's Internet address when you visit the Website. This information, known as an Internet Protocol address, or IP address, is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you're on the Internet. When you request pages from our Website, our servers may log your IP address and sometimes your domain name. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to our Website (e.g., another website or a search engine); the pages you visit on this Website; the website you visit after this Website; the ads you see and/or click on; other information about the type of Web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this Website or a referral site; and other Web usage activity and data logged by our Web servers. We use this information for internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Website. Such information may also be used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of origin and internet service provider. Any or all of these activities with regard to Website usage information may be performed on our behalf by our service providers.
• ADVERTISING COMPANIES
We may use the services of one or more advertising companies. If we do, these advertising companies may also collect information from your activities on the Website as well as other sites for the purpose of providing advertisements and other content that is customized to your interests and preferences. This means that our ads may appear on participating websites based upon your browsing activity. To allow us to offer our customers streamlined ordering and other useful features, we may use and allow advertising companies to use the technologies listed above and other similar technologies.
• MOBILE DEVICES
You may be visiting our Website from your mobile device. Certain mobile service providers uniquely identify mobile devices and we or our service providers may receive such information if you access the Website through mobile devices. Some features of the Website may allow for the collection of mobile phone numbers and we may associate that phone number to mobile device identification information. Furthermore, some mobile phone service providers operate systems that pinpoint the physical location of devices that use their service. Depending on the provider, we or our service providers may receive this information.
In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we may also receive information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly available sources.

MAKE UP FOR EVER does not knowingly collect or use any Personally Information from individuals under the age of 13. If we become aware that any such information has been provided or submitted to us, we will delete the information as soon as possible.
MAKE UP FOR EVER retains the Personal Information collected from you until you elect to no longer receive emails or information from us, otherwise terminate your account with us, or when MAKE UP FOR EVER concludes it no longer requires that Personal Information for its legitimate business purposes.
By providing Personal Information to Us, you understand and consent to the collection, maintenance, processing and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other countries and territories.
HOW THE PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED

In addition, we may send you notices (for example, in the form of e-mails, mailings, and the like), and otherwise correspond with you, about products, services, companies and events, sponsored by us and others, that we think might interest you. We process your data to show you what your selected product would look like on you (in relation to using our virtual beauty technologies). Moreover, we collect information when you interact with our chat for the purpose of managing your requests. We also may analyze user behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of, our Website and e-mails, both on an individual basis and in the aggregate. Finally, we may use your Personal Information for other legitimate business purposes, including to detect and prevent fraud, to collect amounts owing to us and to maintain our business records.

If you change your mind and no longer want us to share your Personal Information with these types of third parties, follow the instructions to opt out in the Right to Unsubscribe section below.
• SERVICE PROVIDERS
We may use service providers to help operate our Website and deliver our products and services, and may share your information with our affiliates, service providers and other entities that provide products or services for or through this Website or for our business (such as Website or database hosting companies, address list hosting companies, e-mail service providers, analytics companies, distribution companies, fulfillment companies, companies that assist us in your applications and other similar service providers that use such information on our behalf).
• BEHAVIORAL-BASED ADVERTISING
We may disclose aggregate statistics regarding user behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of, our Website and e-mails to service providers like advertising and marketing partners in the form of aggregate data, such as overall patterns or demographic reports that do not describe or identify any individual user. Behavioral-based advertising companies may use technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information about your use of our Website and other websites over time so that they can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interest. That advertising may appear either on our Website, or on other websites.
• LEGALLY COMPELLED DISCLOSURES

We also may disclose user information when we have reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other users of the Website, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Additionally, we cooperate with law enforcement inquiries and other entities to enforce laws, intellectual property rights and other rights.
• CO-SPONSORED CONTESTS, SWEEPSTAKES AND PROMOTIONS
Some of our contests, sweepstakes and other offerings may be co-sponsored by another company. In those situations, the information we obtain from you in connection with such contest, sweepstake or offering may be shared with our co-sponsor.

• SOCIAL NETWORKS, WIDGETS AND PLUG-INS
If you use any features made available to you on our Website by a social network it may result in information being collected or shared between us and the social network. For example, if you use Facebook’s “Like” feature Facebook may register the fact that you “liked” a product and may post that information on Facebook. As another example, if you post images to Instagram using hashtags that directly correlate with our campaigns, that gives us permission to dynamically pull this content into our Website.
• PUBLIC AND INTERACTIVE AREAS
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our Website, including, without limitation, blogs, chat rooms, bulletin boards and discussion groups. Personal Information that you post on or through the public areas of any Website are generally accessible to, and may be collected and used by, others and may result in unsolicited messages or contact from others.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
While MAKE UP FOR EVER will take reasonable precautions to protect the security and integrity of Personal Information, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
Unfortunately, despite our efforts, there is always a risk that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions. This reality is true of all Internet use. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit, and you transmit all information at your own risk. We will not be liable for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
If you contact Us by e-mail or through a "contact us" link or similar feature on our Website, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure. A third party could view information you send by these methods in transit.
If you choose to become a registered user, you are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and you shall be responsible for any access to or use of the Website by you or any person or entity using your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by or on behalf of you, and whether or not such person or entity is your employee or agent. You agree to (a) immediately notify MAKE UP FOR EVER of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session (especially if you are using a public computer or a shared computer). It is your responsibility to control the dissemination and use of your password, control access to and use of your account, and notify MAKE UP FOR EVER when you desire to cancel your account. We are not responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this provision.
In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we will notify you of that development if notification is required by law. We would endeavor to notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and we may notify you by email, postal mail, or phone call.
