INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

Listed below are the categories of Information we collect when you choose to use the Sites, and in the onboarding or check-out process when you create your Luminess account or make a purchase of a Luminess product. We never sell your Information, and we always have a lawful basis for gathering the Information, but that lawful basis might be different for various categories, and we describe those uses below. Regardless, we never use the Information for any purpose other than the purpose for which we gathered the Information in the first place, unless we get your prior consent.

Personal Data includes your name, address (both billing and shipping addresses), email address, credit card information, phone number and any other information attributable to an identifiable natural person or household, including the information described in California Civil Code Section 1798.140(o).

Information Collected Automatically. The Sites use various tracking technologies that may include cookies, log file information, web beacons, location data, online analytics, and third-party ad serving companies (collectively, "Tracking Tools") to automatically collect Information from you. We, along with our third-party service providers, use Tracking Tools for a variety of purposes, including enhancing your online experience and our product offerings. We treat Information automatically collected as Non-Personal Information. Please see below for more information regarding the Tracking Tools that we may use.

Cookies: We and our third-party service providers use cookies, which are small files that are stored on your computer or mobile device and allow websites to remember information about you. For marketing purposes and to help personalize and improve our online Services we use cookies to monitor how the Services offered on the Sites are used.

When you visit or log in to our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email or home address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email or home addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout

This Information may include your IP address, device and software characteristics (such as type and operating system), browser type, Internet service provider, URLs, referring/exit pages, click data, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed, and other such information.

Web Beacons: When you use a Site, we and our third-party service providers may employ web beacons (also known as clear gifs or action tags) that are used to anonymously track your online usage patterns. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. This information facilitates more accurate reporting and improvement of our Services.

Location Data: When you access the website via a mobile device, we and our third-party service providers may access, collect, monitor, and/or remotely store information regarding your mobile device, as well as real-time "location data," which may include GPS coordinates. Your device should require you to provide permission before our Site obtains precise geolocation information from a browser's geolocation API or from technologies like GPS, Wi-Fi, and/or cell towers. We and our service providers may use this approximate location and/or precise geolocation information, along with other information submitted by you, to provide you with location-based services like local store information, search results, exclusive offers, and other personalized content.

Most browsers and mobile devices allow users to enable or disable precise geolocation using pop-ups or controls located in the settings menu. If you have questions about how to disable your device's precise geolocation services, please contact your browser developer, mobile service carrier, or device manufacturer. You may also stop collection of precise geolocation information by our mobile application by uninstalling the mobile application using the standard uninstall process available as part of your mobile device.

If you re-install any of our mobile applications on the same device, Luminess may be able to re-associate this identifier to your previous transactions.

Third-Party Ad Serving Companies: We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads after you visit our website. Such advertising companies also may separately use Tracking Tools, including cookies, in the course of delivering targeted advertisements to our Services.
