We encourage you to review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites before linking or connecting them to our website. We do not control the information practices of third-party websites, so please review their information privacy statement and your settings on a third-party website carefully in order to protect your information.
Your Referrals. If you use our “Refer a Friend” program or other referral programs to send promotional messages to one or more of your contacts, we will collect the recipient’s email address and use it solely to send the referral message.

Browsing Information. We automatically collect certain information about your use of the Store when you visit the Store, including the areas or web pages you viewed on our Store, the Flaunt Medica products you viewed or purchased, your IP address, details about your browser or device, and other information about your browsing behavior (collectively, “browsing information”). We use browsing information to improve the design and content of our Store, to suggest content and products that we think may be relevant to you, and to help us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, what promotions visitors like to see, and to measure the success of our advertising campaigns. We collect browsing information and allow third parties to collect such information through cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, local storage, and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Technologies”) as further described below.
Information from Other Sources. We may receive information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you.
Like many websites, our Store uses automated data collection Technologies, including cookies, to collect certain information. We, as well as third parties, use these Technologies as follows:
Cookies and Web Technologies. A “cookie” is a small text file that identifies your computer or device. When you visit our Store, unique cookies are placed on your browser. A web beacon is a technology with a unique identifier that is typically contained in a small graphic file in a web page or in an email. We may use these Technologies to identify that you’ve logged into the Store, to hold selected products in your shopping cart when you navigate away from the order page, to suggest content and products that we think may be relevant to you, and to monitor aggregate usage of our Store. We also use these Technologies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to improve our Store by recognizing which pages are visited and whether those visits result in purchases.
Interest-Based Advertising. So that we can better target our advertising to individuals’ interests, we work with advertising partners who may use Technologies, including cookies to gather browsing Information about you when you use our Store. Our advertising partners may also gather information about your visits to other websites to infer information about your interests. We or our advertising partners may use this information to make inferences about your interests so that we can advertise our products to you on other sites that you visit or in emails that we send to you.
Analytics. We may also use Google Analytics and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our Store. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s processing of data generated by your use of the Store by visiting http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We use information we collect for the following purposes:
-We use information collected to provide and operate the Store, to facilitate your online shopping, to enable purchases and process payments, to communicate with you (for example, for customer support), to implement your requests (for example, referrals), and to tailor and send you marketing materials.
-We use your browsing and other information to help us analyze our Store and offerings.
-We use your browsing, shopping, and other information to enhance your use of our Store and provide you with interest-based advertising.
-We may use your email address to contact you about your account and order fulfillment, and to provide you with information about the Store (for example, security updates or issues), and to market and promote our Store and products.
-We may use information you post in public areas to provide you with an interactive social media experience that brings aspects of your social networking community into your Store experience.
-We may use information we collect for our own and our affiliate companies’ legitimate interests, such as direct marketing, research (including marketing research), network and information security, and fraud prevention.
-We may use the information we collect for any purpose disclosed to you at the time it was collected or otherwise with your consent
We may share your information as described in this Privacy Policy or with your permission.
Trusted Service Providers. We may share your Personal Information with third-party service providers we engage to help us administer and operate the Store, to process and fulfill your orders, and to communicate with you. The types of vendors to whom we entrust Personal Information include: (i) IT services, including hosting our Store; (ii) communications service providers who help us send newsletters and other marketing emails; (iii) payment processing and order fulfillment services; and (iv) providers of customer support services. These service providers have access to your Personal Information only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf.
Business Partners and Affiliates. We may share Personal Information with companies that are under common ownership or control with us (e.g., Flaunt Medica subsidiaries) and with business partners for the purpose of providing you with a product or service that you have requested or that we believe may be of interest to you. We require our affiliates and business partners not to use Personal Information for any other purpose.
Marketing – Interest-Based Advertising and Third-Party Marketing. As described above, we may allow third-party advertising partners to use web Technologies to collect information about your browsing Information for interest-based advertising. You may opt-out of such sharing at no cost by following the instructions below.
Disclosures to Protect Us or Others (as Required by Law and Similar Disclosures). We may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Information if we believe doing so is required or appropriate: (i) to comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) to respond to your requests; (iii) to protect your, our, or third-party rights, property, or safety; (iv) to enforce our policies or contracts; (v) to collect amounts owed to us; (vi) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (vii) if we, in good faith, believe that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable.
In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes – e.g., to detect unauthorized activity on the Store. In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses may be shared with law enforcement bodies in order that they may identify users in connection with their investigation of the unauthorized activities.
Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transfer of service or part of a business line to a third party, then your Personal Information will likely be among the assets transferred. In such event, we will endeavor to direct the transferee to use Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such Personal Information was collected.
Your Personal Information
With your Personal Information, such as information you give us to fulfill an order or to participate in a contest or sign up for an online offer (e.g., our “Refer a Friend Promotion”), we will always allow you to change or correct your information and the choice of not receiving marketing from us. There are different ways you can control our use of any submitted Personal Information in connection with promotional communications. You will have the option when you set up an account, or click on “Sign In” from any page on the Store, to access, correct or update your choices and settings. If you receive email marketing communications from us and want to opt out of receiving such communications in the future from us with respect to Flaunt Medica or other of our brands referenced in a promotional email, you can opt out by clicking a link at the bottom of such promotional email that will allow you to unsubscribe. You may not opt-out of receiving non-promotional messages regarding your account, such as technical notices, purchase confirmations, or shipping information. If you have any difficulty managing your communication preferences, please email privacy@flauntmedica.com.
Interest-Based Advertising
Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals. However, you may stop or restrict the placement of Technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits. The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these, and also learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy, at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, https://youradchoices.ca/choices/, and www.aboutads.info/choices/. Please note however that in most cases opting out drops an “opt-out cookie” on your browser. As a result, if you delete cookies or use a different computer or browser, you’ll need to renew your opt-out choice. To separately make choices for mobile apps on a mobile device, you can download
Digital Advertising Alliances’s AppChoices application from your device’s app store. Alternatively, for some devices you may use your device’s platform controls in your settings to exercise choice. Please remember, even if you opt out of interest-based advertising on or through these sites and other opt-out sites or services, or by adjusting your browser settings, you may still receive Flaunt Medica ads, as interest-based ads are only one form of advertising.
Right of Access, Rectification, Erasure, and Restriction In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to: (i) request confirmation of whether we are processing your Personal Information; (ii) obtain access to or a copy of your Personal Information; (iii) receive an electronic copy of Personal Information that you have provided to us, or ask us to send that information to another company (the “right of data portability”); (iv) restrict our uses of your Personal Information; (v) seek correction or amendment of inaccurate, untrue, incomplete, or improperly processed Personal Information; and (vi) request erasure of Personal Information held about you by Flaunt Medica, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us as set forth below. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws. To protect your privacy, Flaunt Medica will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
Links
Our Store may contain links to other websites. A link to a third party’s website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not cover information that you submit on other websites, even if we communicate with you on those sites. You access such third-party websites or content at your own risk. For example, if you share or post something on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest, the information in your post is governed by the privacy policies on those social media websites. You should always read the privacy policy of a third-party website before providing any information to the website.

If you no longer wish to be registered at Flaunt Medica.com, you may delete your Personal Information within your Account Settings. Once you submit your request, we will send an email to the email address linked to your Flaunt Medica account detailing our account deletion policy and requesting that you to confirm your deletion request. When your account is deleted, we may continue to store some Personal Information in archives, backups, and for our legitimate purposes as described in and consistent with this Privacy Policy.
California Privacy Notices
California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their Personal Information (if any) in the prior calendar year for the third-party’s direct marketing purposes, as well as the type of Personal Information disclosed to those parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, Flaunt Medica does not share Personal Information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. In addition, if you are a California resident under 18 years old and a registered user of the Store, you can request that we remove content or information that you have posted to our Store.

Safeguarding Your Personal Information
We maintain physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information.

Please be aware that information provided (such as email address, payment information, etc.) may be accessible to others. For that reason, we ask that you protect yourself and not share sensitive information via these communication channels.
