Skinbetter Science, LLC, together with its affiliated companies, (“us”, “we”, “our” or “Company”), is committed to respecting your privacy.
Our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) summarizes what personal information we collect when you use any website operated by or on our behalf (each, a “Website”), and how we use and disclose this information. This Privacy Policy also describes other important topics relating to your privacy.
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms os Service, which establishes the use, disclaimers, and limitations of liability governing the use of our Website.
By accessing or otherwise using a Website, you signify your consent to all of the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use our Website(s). We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. We will reflect any such modifications to this Privacy Policy in our Website(s) and will indicate at the top of this page the date this Privacy Policy was last amended. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, your continued access to and/or use of any Website after the date specified in such notice constitutes your full acceptance of, and agreement to be legally bound by, the terms of this Privacy Policy, as revised. Please periodically review this Privacy Policy so that you know what personal information we collect, how we use it, and with whom we may share it.
Personal information is information about an identifiable individual, such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, or payment information (“Personal Information”). We collect Personal Information when you voluntarily provide it through a Website, or when you provide it to us through other means. For example, we may collect Personal Information when you:
The Personal Information we may collect may include:
When you visit a Website, we may collect information that is automatically sent to us by your web browser or your Internet service provider. This information may include your domain name, and your numerical IP address. We may also collect other general information (such as the type of browser you use, which pages you view, and the files you request). We use this information to better understand how visitors use our Website(s), and to improve our Website(s) to better meet your needs. We use this information in the aggregate, and do not link it to your Personal Information. The amount of information that is sent by your web browser depends on the browser and settings you use. Please refer to the instructions provided by your browser if you want to learn more about what information it sends to websites you visit, or how you may change or restrict this.
We collect information from you when you register on our Site, place an order, subscribe to our mailing list, respond to a survey, or fill out a form.
Our collection of information is made with your specific knowledge and consent. You may visit and browse the Site without providing personally identifiable information. However, this may limit your ability to receive certain features, products, or services from us.
Automatic Collection
Our servers automatically recognize visitors’ domain names and IP addresses (the number assigned to computers on the Internet). No personal information about you is revealed in this process. The Site may also gather anonymous aggregate “traffic data” that does not personally identify you, but that may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer.
Contests, Surveys and Promotions
From time to time we may offer you the opportunity to participate in a contest, giveaway, or other promotion or ask you to contribute a review, rating, or other response. Any information submitted in connection with such activities will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy, except as specifically set forth in the rules for those contests, giveaways, or promotions.
Personal Information
We may use the information we collect from you when you register, make a purchase, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, or for other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent. For example, we may use or disclose your Personal Information to:
When registering an account or purchasing a product on skinbetter.com you will be required to choose a Provider or, if you do not have a Provider, we will automatically assign one to you based on your location. We may share your Personal Information with your Provider so that they can assist you with product guidance or offer skinbetter science products or other services or products to you. We recommend that you read the Provider privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which they will handle your Personal Information. If you do not wish for your information to be shared with your Provider, please refrain from registering your account with us. If you wish to opt-out from further disclosures, please contact us via the methods provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
We may also use, or disclose to third parties, your Personal Information if we have reason to believe that using or disclosing such information is necessary to (i) conduct investigations of possible breaches of law; (ii) identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating an agreement they have with us; (iii) investigate security breaches or cooperate with government authorities pursuant to a legal matter, for example, if we are subject to a subpoena or a court order, or if the information is requested by the police or another law enforcement entity; or (iv) protect our rights, safety, or property. We may transfer your Personal Information to third party service providers that assist us with carrying out these purposes. For example, we use third party service providers to facilitate payments, and we may use a data processing contractor to operate computer systems on our behalf. When Personal Information is transferred to such a third party service provider, that party will be contractually bound to use such Personal Information only to carry out the services we have requested, and to provide protection for the Personal Information.
Anonymous Information
We use anonymous information for internal business and marketing purposes and to help analyze our Site traffic. In addition, we may use anonymous IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server or to administer our Site. Traffic and transaction information may also be shared with business partners and advertisers on an aggregate and anonymous basis. Your personal information will not be detailed in this aggregate data.

Although we have taken measures to help protect our Website(s), computer systems, and any Personal Information that we have collected from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or destruction, no security measures can provide absolute protection.

Some or all of the Personal Information we collect may be stored or processed on servers located outside your jurisdiction of residence, including in the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to laws in those jurisdictions.

If we ask for your Personal Information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. See more at the Consumer Federation of California.
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
We do not currently honor “do not track” issued by browsers or other third party sources.
It’s also important to note that we allow third party behavioral tracking.
Age of Consent
By using this Site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
When it comes to the collection of Personal Information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.

We are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act); we do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.
