Policy & Terms

This policy was last modified on May 24, 2018

This Privacy Policy describes our policies on the collection, use, and disclosure of information about you in connection with your use of our services, including those offered through our websites, emails. The terms "we""us", and "Avatara" refer to Avatara LLC, a skincare brand with its headquarters in Los Angeles, California. When you visit our website and purchase, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

  1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

We may collect and store information about you in connection with our website, including any information you transmit to or through the site. We use that information to provide functionality, fulfill your requests, improve quality, engage in research and analysis, personalize your experience, track usage, display relevant advertising, marketing, provide customer support, message you, back up our systems, allow for disaster recovery, enhance the security, and comply with legal obligations. We do NOT store any of your bank or credit card information in our systems. Even when we do not retain such information, it still must be transmitted to our servers initially and stored long enough to process.

Please also note:

  1. Account Information:If you create a Avatara account, we may store and use the information you provide during that process, such as your full name, email address, zip code, physical address, and other information you may provide with your account, such as your gender, phone number, and birth date. If you believe that someone has created an unauthorized account depicting you or your likeness, you can request its removal by contacting us at hello@avataraskin.com.
  2. Public Content:Your contributions to the website and our social media are intended for public consumption and are therefore viewable by the public, including your photos and reviews for marketing purposes.
  3. Transactions:If you initiate a transaction through Avatara, such as purchase of masks, we may collect and store information about you, such as your name, phone number, address, email, and payment information (such as a credit card number and expiration date), as well as any other information you provide to us, in order to process your transaction, send communications about them to you, and populate forms for future transactions. When you submit credit card numbers, we encrypt that information using industry standard technology. If you write reviews, we may publicly display the review in marketing or website materials. For example, if you leave a review on our website, we have the right to use it in marketing materials or other uses.
  4. Activity:We may store information about your use of our website such as your search activity, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and purchases you make through the website. We also may store information that your computer or mobile device may provide to us in connection with your use of the Avatara website, such as your browser type, type of computer or mobile device, browser language, IP address, WiFi information such as SSID, mobile carrier, phone number, unique device identifier, advertising identifier, and requested and referring URLs.

 

2. CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Other users may be able to identify you, or associate you with your account, if you include personal information in the content you post publicly.

 

3. DATA RETENTION AND ACCOUNT TERMINATION

You can close your account by contacting us. We will remove public posts from view and/or dissociate them from your account profile, but we may retain information about you for the purposes authorized under this Privacy Policy unless prohibited by law. For example, we may retain information to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the service or to comply with legal obligations. Please note that businesses cannot remove their business listings, ratings, or reviews by closing their accounts.

 

4. SECURITY

We use various safeguards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. CONTACT

You may contact us concerning our Privacy Policy.

 

6. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the Privacy Policy will govern our collection, use and disclosure of information about you. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the Service prior to the effective date of the changes. By continuing to access or use the services after those changes become effective, you acknowledge the revised Privacy Policy.

 

7. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose of directly marketing their goods or services to you unless you first agree to such disclosure. If you have any questions regarding this policy, or would like to change your preferences, you may contact us by using the link provided above in Section 5.
