We compile statistics about user trends on our Website, which are used by third party organisations to understand how users interact with businesses, brands and one another online and to advise about these things. These statistics are drawn from a dataset which does not contain any information from which you can be identified.

Information we collect from you

We will collect and process the following information about you:

Information you give us - this is information about you that you give us by filling in forms on our Website or by corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. It includes information you provide when you request a product through our Website. We only request from you the minimum data required for you to access our POPSUGAR Dabble service.

When signing up to POPSUGAR Dabble we will ask for your name, date of birth, postal address and email address. We will also ask you to complete your ‘Beauty Profile’ which will involve the collection of your:

  • Skin Profile – your skin type, skin tone and any concerns you may have;
  • Hair Profile – your hair type, hair color, how it is coloured and any concerns you may have; and
  • Makeup Profile – the makeup looks you prefer and how often you wear makeup; and
  • Fragrance Profile – the type of fragrances you like to wear and how often you wear them.

Your Beauty Profile is an essential part of the service that we deliver. We use it to select samples that we think you will like, based on the recommendations made by our brand partners (who never see your Beauty Profile themselves). We use this information to deliver products suitable to your skin tone and other cosmetic preferences.

SoPost does not collect or store any of your financial information. Where access to your financial information such as credit or debit card is required, this information will be processed through secure payment pages of our chosen third party service providers (e.g. PayPal, Stripe).

Information we collect about you – Whenever you visit our Website we will automatically collect the following information:

  • technical information - including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform;

For example, if you give us permission, we may link our services to your social media account (and capture and store your login information), such as Twitter, Facebook or other social networks. Additionally, if you interact with us via our social media pages, then you may provide us with your personal information. We collect this particular information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. In this case we will have informed you when we collected that data if we intend to share those data internally and combine it with data collected on this Website. We will also have told you for what purpose we will share and combine your data. We are working closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, credit reference agencies). We will notify you when we receive information about you from them and the purposes for which we intend to use that information.

Where and how we hold your information and how we share your information

The information and content held on our Website is deployed geographically to maximise user experience. We will never share your user information with third parties for their promotional purposes without your consent.

We may work with our service providers, suppliers and sub-contractors who help us provide the Website and Services. For example, Google Cloud is our host provider and our production databases are stored in Google Cloud which is contracted by use for the provision of technical services.

We also use Stripe and PayPal as our third-party payment service providers.

We may share information with our shipping and other distributors and fulfilment service providers.

If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this Privacy Notice.

Transfers

If we transfer personal information outside the US, then we will implement appropriate and suitable safeguards to ensure that such data will be protected as required by applicable data protection law.

What we do to maintain the security of your personal information

Our approach to information security is constantly evolving and continually reviewed. We implement a variety of technical and organizational measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure and transfer. This includes, by way of example, training and adequate procedures put in place for any staff that handle or have access to your personal information.

We have taken reasonable steps to help protect the personal information we collect. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Website and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

You can update your preferences and opt in or out at any time by clicking the ‘Unsubscribe’ link in our emails. Your option not to receive promotional and marketing material will not preclude us from corresponding with you, by email or otherwise, regarding your existing or past business relationships with us, and will not preclude us from accessing and viewing your personal information in the course of maintaining and improving our Website and our Services.

California Residents

Pursuant to Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code (the “Shine the Light Law”), residents of California have the right to request from a business, with whom the California resident has an established business relationship, certain information with respect to the types of personal information, if any, the business shares with third parties for direct marketing purposes by such third party and the identities of the third parties with whom the business has shared such information in the immediately preceding calendar year.

Please be advised that we are not required to respond to requests from any individual resident under the Shine the Light Law more frequently than once per calendar year. If any other state enacts a similar law as the California law, then this provision will also apply to such state.

Do-Not-Track Requests; Third-Party Tracking

Certain mechanisms may allow you to send web browser signals, known as "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signals, indicating your choice to disable tracking on the Website. We do respond to certain browser do not track signals at this time. When we detect a DNT signal, we will not include the Google Analytics code and track beyond our own logging as described in the Cookie Policy. We may not be aware of or able to honor and respond to every such mechanism. More information about "Do Not Track" is available at www.allaboutdnt.org concerning such information.

Third parties, other than our service providers (such as our website analytics provider), do not have our permission to track which websites you visited prior to and after visiting the Website. That said, we cannot control third-party tracking and there may be some third-party tracking that occurs without our knowledge or consent.
