Sharing of Your Information: Laura Geller may share your Personal Information: (i) with third parties who are under obligations of confidentiality with Laura Geller or with Laura Geller’s affiliates, subsidiaries or agents, (ii) if Laura Geller is required by law to do so, (iii) in the event of a transfer of ownership of Laura Geller, merger, sale, corporate restructuring, bankruptcy or other similar transaction, or (iv) as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. The following describes some of the ways that your Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties:

We may share Personal Information provided with one of our AS Beauty LLC brands (Julep, Mally, CoverFX).

We may employ other third parties to perform services or functions on our behalf in order to improve our Website, merchandising, marketing and promotional efforts, communications or other services. We use third party tools and tracking technologies to record or collect information about users’ Website usage and activity, and information users provide via the Website (e.g., through the live chat and other features) in order to track and analyze customer data, determine the popularity of certain Website content and Laura Geller products, understand Website users’ online activity, enhance Website operations, deliver targeted advertising and content. This information is either recorded or accessed in real time by the unaffiliated third-party companies we engage to provide services on our behalf and is stored by these third parties for our use only.

Those third parties may include authorized contractors, consultants and other companies working with us (collectively, "agents"). They only have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions, and they may not share any Personal Information with others or use it for any other purpose than providing or improving Laura Geller’s services and offerings. In particular, if you interact with our virtual try-on experience, your biometric data will be obtained and processed by Laura Geller’s service provider(s) who help provide this cloud-based service.

We may allow third party ad networks to collect and use your information (other than biometric data) to show you ads that are targeted to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our Website or provided us with Personal Information through other means (“Matched Ads”). This includes Laura Geller’s ads on other sites or our Website. In order to do this, we upload a customer list to the third party ad network or incorporate a pixel from the third party ad network on the Website, and the third party ad network matches common factors between our data and their data. At times, these ads may persuade you to come back and revisit the Website for new offers. This type of advertising generally includes an ad network that collects and tracks certain technical information (i.e., your IP address) and Website usage information (i.e., browsing history) on our Website and other Internet sites. To opt out of receiving Matched Ads, please go to https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. We are not responsible for the third party ad network’s failure to comply with your opt-out requests.

We may also have a need to transfer our customer information (including Personal Information), regardless of where you live, outside of the United States in which we or our agents have offices or facilities. By using the Website or otherwise doing business with us, you are agreeing to allow us to transfer your Personal Information outside of your home country and to process it inside the United States or elsewhere for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy applies only to Laura Geller’s Website and does not address the practices of third parties who may collect your Personal Information (other than our third party service provider(s) while they help provide our cloud-based virtual try-on experience). You may visit other websites, through links on our Website, which may collect, use and share your Personal Information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information practices of those linked websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to be very cautious before you disclose your Personal Information to others.

Laura Geller may be obligated to cooperate with various law enforcement inquiries. Laura Geller reserves the right to disclose or transfer Personal Information and non-Personal Information about you and your activities on our Website in order to comply with a legal requirement or request from law enforcement or other government officials, administrative agencies or third parties as we, in our sole discretion, determine necessary or appropriate for the administration of justice, or in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements or violations of any other law, rule or regulation, our Laura Geller.com Terms and Conditions of Use or other rules or policies of our Website, the rights of third parties, or an investigation of any other activity that may expose us or you to legal liability, or to investigate any suspected conduct which Laura Geller in its sole discretion deems improper.
Security: Providing a secure site is essential for your peace of mind and trust in Laura Geller. We maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to help protect your personal information. Specifically, we have installed encryption software conforming to the Secure Socket Layers (SSL) protocol to safeguard all of the information you send to us. All information is stored on our servers in a secure location. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. If your password is compromised, please notify Customer Service at once.
Protection for Children: Our Website is not intended for or directed to users under the age of 18. Furthermore, we have no intention of collecting Personal Information from children (i.e., individuals under the age of 16). Where appropriate, we take reasonable measures to inform children not to submit such information to our Website or in response to advertisements. If we become aware that a child under the age of 16 has provided Personal Information to us, we will delete the information from our records.
Privacy Precaution Warning: Please note that no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of the information that you transmit via our online services. However, you can play a role in keeping your Personal Information safe. For example, you should choose an account password that is unique, difficult to guess and confidential. If you use a shared computer, never choose to have the computer save or remember your password and make sure to log out when you are finished using the Website.
Your Consent: By using our Website and providing your Personal Information to us, you also authorize the export of your Personal Information to the USA, as well as its storage and use as specified herein. Our headquarters is located in the state of New York, in the USA at 111 West 33rd Street, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10120.
