MY SALON CHOICES

Privacy Policy

Welcome to MYSALONCHOICES, and thanks for using our services!

In our quest to help you look and feel great, we think it’s a good idea to try to look good ourselves.  Sharing our Privacy Policies with you so that you understand how we collect visitor information and use it is one way we seek to do that.  We’ve tried to make this as simple as possible (or at least as simple as our lawyers will let us make it), but if you have questions or comments please let us know.

Whenever you log on to a website or use mobile apps, certain information almost always gets created and recorded automatically.  Other information comes from you voluntarily if you wish to register to use a site or its services, or to make a purchase. The same is true when you use our site and services.

How do we obtain information from you?

We obtain information from you when (i) you volunteer it to us or give us permission to obtain it and (ii) when you use our services or MYSALONCHOICES features online or through our apps.

For example, if you sign up on our website, you are invited to give us certain information. This can include your name, email address you use to sign up, a password, photos, reviews and comments, likes, contact information for friends you’d like us to invite to the site, and any other information you provide to us.  If you purchase services through us, we or our commerce partner may obtain credit card and address information from you.  You can also choose to provide us with location data to more directly enjoy our services.

You also may give us permission to access information through other services you use, like your Facebook or Twitter account if you decide to link them to MYSALONCHOICES, allowing us to obtain information from those accounts (e.g., your friends or contacts). What we obtain from those services often depends on the settings you choose for your accounts on those sites, or their separate privacy policies.

When you use MYSALONCHOICES or go to a webpage or use an app that has MYSALONCHOICES features (enabling you to post or “like” and image, for example), our servers automatically record information including information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website or your mobile app sends when you're using it. This log data may include your internet protocol (“IP”) address, the address of the web pages you visited linked to ours, browser and settings information, the date and time of your request, how you used MYSALONCHOICES, and cookie data.

Additionally, depending on how you're accessing our services or the products or services of our advertisers, we may use "cookies" (a small text file sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your MYSALONCHOICES account or your browser), or similar technologies to record log data. When we use cookies, we may use "session" cookies (that last only until you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we may use cookies to store your language preferences or other MYSALONCHOICES settings so you don't have to set them up every time you visit MYSALONCHOICES. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your MYSALONCHOICES account (including personal information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not.

Device Information. In addition to log data, we may also collect information about the device you're using MYSALONCHOICES on, including what type of device it is, what operating system you're using, device settings, unique device identifiers, and crash data.  Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its setting.  To learn more about what information your device (e.g., a Mac , PC or Chromebook, iPhone or Android phone) makes available to us, please also check the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider.

And of course, if you choose to purchase products or services through our site, we may capture additional information regarding your purchases, personal address and phone, credit card and similar information, either directly or through our bank or ecommerce fulfillment partners.

How do we use the information we collect?

We use the information we collect to provide our services  to you and improve them, develop new features and services, and protect MYSALONCHOICES and our users. For example, we may log how often people use two different versions of a product, which can help us understand which version is better.

We also use the information we collect to offer you customized content, including:

• Suggesting hair, make up and nail styles and services you might like based on the interests you’ve noted;

• Showing you advertising you might be interested in.

We also use the information we collect to:

• Send you updates (such as when certain activity, like when new postings or comments about something you have posted or are following happens on MYSALONCHOICES), newsletters, marketing materials and other information that may be of interest to you. You can opt “in” our “out” of these features by updating your account settings (or through other settings we may provide).

• Help your friends and contacts find you on MYSALONCHOICES. For example, if you sign up using a Facebook account, we may help your Facebook friends find your account on MYSALONCHOICES when they first sign up for MYSALONCHOICES or, we may allow people to search for your account on MYSALONCHOICES using your email address.

• Respond to your questions or comments.

The information we collect may be "personally identifiable" (meaning it can be used to specifically identify you as a unique person) and "non-personally identifiable" (meaning it can't be used to specifically identify you). We may combine these two types of information in providing our services, and may use or store information wherever MYSALONCHOICES does business, including countries outside your own.

What choices do you have about your information?

Our goal is to give you simple and meaningful choices over your information. If you have a MYSALONCHOICES account, many of the choices you have on MYSALONCHOICES are built directly in to our services or your account settings. For example, you can:

• Access and change information in your profile page at any time, choose whether your profile page is available to search engines, or choose whether others can find you on MYSALONCHOICES using your email address;

• Link or unlink your MYSALONCHOICES account from an account on another service (e.g., Facebook or Twitter). For some services (like Facebook), you can also choose whether or not to publish your activity on MYSALONCHOICES to that service.

• Create or be added to public or private “virtual salons”or stylist address lists. For more information about our virtual salons, please visit our Help Center.

• Choose whether MYSALONCHOICES will be customized for you using information from non-MYSALONCHOICES websites or apps. If you have a MYSALONCHOICES account and don't want your off-MYSALONCHOICES data to be used to tailor your experience, you can visit your account settings and update your "Personalization" preferences. If you don't have a MYSALONCHOICES account, or don't want us to customize MYSALONCHOICES for you when you're signed out, you can opt out here.

• Also, we support the Do Not Track browser setting, and you can learn more          about how it affects our collection and use of off-MYSALONCHOICES data.

• You can close your account at any time. When you close your account, we'll deactivate it and remove your information and images from MYSALONCHOICES. We may retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (including to help address fraud and spam).

In addition to the examples above, we offer other choices that you can learn more about by returning to our Home Page.

You may have choices available to you through the device or software you use to access the Internet. For example:

• The browser you use (e.g., Explorer, Safari, Firefox or Chrome) may give you with the ability to control cookies or other types of data on your computer or device, or in the “cloud”;

• Your mobile device may provide you with choices regarding the sharing of your location or other information.

You can learn more about these choices from the provider of your device or software.

Who else may see your information?

MYSALONCHOICES is designed to enable you to discover and share new styles for your personal appearance (hair, make up, nails or other lifestyle artists), and find services to help you look and feel your best.  When you post profile information, images, ideas and comments to our site, others can view them. We may also share information we obtain from you in other circumstances:

• When we have your consent. This includes sharing information with other services (like Facebook or Twitter) when you've chosen to link to your MYSALONCHOICES account to those services or publish your activity on MYSALONCHOICES to them. For example, you can choose to publish your content to Facebook or Twitter.

• We may employ third party companies or individuals to process personal information on our behalf based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. For example, we may share data with a security consultant to help us get better at identifying spam or with our accountants to make sure we're keeping the books right. In addition, some of the information we request may be collected by third party providers on our behalf. For more information about the providers we use, please see our Help Center.

• If we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of the public, any person, or MYSALONCHOICES; or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

• We may engage in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding that involves the transfer of the information described in this Policy.

• We may also share aggregated or non-personally identifiable information with our partners or others. For example, we may tell a business using MYSALONCHOICES how many people liked or forwarded something they shared, or the percentage of people who like or forward an image after viewing it.
