You are permitted, and hereby agree, to only provide personal information to the Company if such personal information is accurate, reliable, and relevant to our relationship and only to the extent such disclosure will not violate any applicable data protection law, statute, or regulation or infringe upon any individual’s data privacy rights or privileges.

Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside or the Company operates, you may have certain data protection rights. To exercise any of these data privacy rights, please contact us, or have your authorized agent contact us, in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below. In the event you submit, or your authorized agent submits on your behalf, a data request, you (and your authorized agent) hereby acknowledge and agree, under penalty of perjury, that you are (or the authorized agent of) the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. We will respond to any data requests within the timeframes required by law, and we may charge a fee to facilitate your request, where permitted by law. The rights afforded under data protection laws are not absolute, and the Company may be permitted to refrain from undertaking any action or changing its data processing activities, in response to a data request you submit to us.
Email Marketing. You have the right to opt-out of receiving electronic direct marketing communications from us. All electronic direct marketing communications that you may receive from us, such as e-mail messages, will give you an option of not receiving such communications from us in the future. California residents have the right to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with third parties with whom we have reason to believe use such information for their own direct marketing purposes.
SMS/Text Marketing. The Company offers a Mobile Messaging Program, where we send participants text messages related to our products, services, and discounts. By participating in our Mobile Messaging Program, you accept and agree to our Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy. By participating in the Mobile Messaging Program, you agree to receive autodialed or prerecorded marketing mobile messages at the phone number associated with your opt-in, and you understand that consent is not required to make any purchase from us to participate in our Mobile Messaging Program. Message and data rates may apply. The Mobile Messaging Program involves recurring mobile messages, and additional mobile messages may be sent periodically based on your interaction with the Company. While you consent to receive messages sent using an autodialer, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of our mobile messages are sent using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS” or “autodialer”). Message and data rates may apply. If you do not wish to continue participating in the Mobile Messaging Program or no longer agree to our Terms and Conditions or this Privacy Policy, you agree to reply STOP to any mobile message from us in order to opt-out of the Mobile Messaging Program; you may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt-out (the “Opt-Out Process”). You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting-out of the Mobile Messaging Program. If at any time you intend to stop using the mobile telephone number that has been used to subscribe to the Mobile Messaging Program, including canceling your service plan, losing control of the mobile telephone number, or selling or transferring the phone number to another party, you hereby agree, and represent and warrant to the Company, that you will complete the Opt-Out Process set forth above prior to ending your use or control of the mobile telephone number. You further agree that, if you discontinue the use or having control of your mobile telephone number without notifying the Company of such change, you will be responsible for all costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees), expenses, damages, and liabilities incurred by the Company, or any third party that assists the Company in the delivery of the mobile messages, as a result of claims brought by individual(s) who are later assigned that mobile telephone number or any other third party. This duty and agreement shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in our Mobile Messaging Program. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL FULLY INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD THE COMPANY HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE COMPANY OF A CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION (INCLUDING TELEPHONE NUMBER) YOU HAVE PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY UNDER THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OR SIMILAR STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS, AND ANY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. For support regarding the Mobile Messaging Program, text “HELP” to the number you received the messages or email the Company at customerservice@firstaidbeauty.com. Please note that the use of this email address is not an acceptable method of opting out of the Mobile Messaging Program and opt-outs must be submitted in accordance with the Opt-Out Process set forth above. The Mobile Messaging Program will send SMS TMs (terminating messages) if your mobile device does not support MMS messaging. The Mobile Messaging Program is offered on an “as-is” basis and may not be available in all areas at all times and may not continue to work in the event of product, software, coverage or other changes made by your wireless carrier. The Company will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any mobile messages connected with our Mobile Messaging Program. Delivery of mobile messages is subject to effective transmission from your wireless service provider/network operator and is outside of the Company’s control. You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your phone capabilities for specific text messaging instructions.
California Privacy Rights. Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (“CCPA”), certain California residents may have additional data privacy rights, such as the right to be notified about what personal information is collected about you, and our intended use and purpose for collecting your personal information. Certain California residents have the right to know and access the categories or specific pieces of personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, or sold about you over the past twelve (12) months; the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; and, the business or commercial purpose for which your personal information was collected, used, disclosed, or sold. Some California residents have the right to request the Company transfer, to the extent feasible, personal information in certain forms and formats. California residents have the right to request that we (and any applicable service provider) delete/erase your personal information under certain circumstances.
In addition, certain California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. The Company does not sell your personal information to third parties for profit. However, (as describe above) we do use third party website analytical tools and features, marketing partners, and other service providers, and such relationships may involve the disclosure of your personal information in a manner that constitutes a “sale” of personal information under the CCPA. If you would like to opt-out of the disclosure of personal information in these circumstances, please contact us in accordance with the instructions set forth below. Our Site is not directed to, and should not be used by, minors under the age of sixteen (16) and therefore the Company does not knowingly “sell” (as defined by the CCPA) the personal information of minors under sixteen (16) years of age without affirmative authorization.
California residents have the right not to be subject to discrimination for asserting their rights under the CCPA. If you make, or an authorized agent on your behalf makes, any request related to your personal information under the CCPA, the Company will ascertain your identity (and the identity of the authorized agent, to the extent applicable) to the degree of certainty required under the law before addressing your request. The Company may require you to match at least two or three pieces of personal information we have previously collected from you before granting you access to, or erasing, specific pieces, or categories of, personal information, or otherwise responding to your request. We may require written documentation that demonstrates a third party is authorized to serve as your agent for the purposes of submitting the requests set forth herein.
Do Not Track. Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals to the website with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.
Persons with Disabilities. The Company strives to ensure that every person has access to information related to our products and services, including this Privacy Policy. Please contact us if you would like this Privacy Policy provided in an alternative format and we will seek to meet your needs.
