When you submit PII on the Site,
you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of PII about you
as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
b.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
When you visit and interact with the Site, Rodan + Fields and
third parties with whom Rodan + Fields has contracted to provide services to it
may collect Non-PII (for
example, a catalog of the Site pages you visit). Non-PII is generally collected
through the Site from five different sources: server log files,
environmental variables, cookies, pixel tags and other similar technologies and
information that you voluntarily provide.
i.
Server
Log Files. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically
assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever
you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that
you visited. We use your IP address, and the IP addresses of all users, for purposes
such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose problems with the Site's
servers, administering the Site, analyzing trends, administering the
Site, tracking traffic patterns, and gathering demographic information for aggregate
use. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and
is done automatically by many websites.
ii.
Environmental
Variables. We and our service providers may also collect certain environmental
variables, such as your MAC address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen
resolution, OS version, Internet browser, and Internet browser version. These environmental
variables are collected by most browsers, and can be used to optimize your experience
on the Site.
iii.
Cookies and
IP Addresses. We and our service providers may use “cookies” on the Site. Cookies
are data that a web server transfers to an individual's computer for recordkeeping
purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most websites, and can facilitate
users' ongoing access to and use of a particular website; cookies do not cause damage
to your computer systems or files. If you do not want information collected through
the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you
to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting
the transfer of a particular cookie, or cookies from a particular website, to your
computer.
We are continuously working to make
your experience on our Site better. To this end, we have retained Coremetrics, to
assist us in better understanding your use of our Site. Coremetrics will place cookies
on your computer to collect information on our behalf that will show us how you
come to our site and how you use and navigate our Site. Coremetrics is contractually
required to maintain all information collected on our behalf in confidence. However,
you may elect to limit or eliminate the data that Coremetrics collects regarding
your use of our Site by

Some of our other business partners
and service providers may also use cookies on the Site. However, we have no access
to, or control over, these cookies and do not accept any responsibility for such
use. Only Coremetrics cookies may be accepted or declined as described in the preceding
paragraph.
iv.
Pixel Tags.
We and our service providers may also use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons,"
"clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") in connection with some
Site pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, compile aggregate
statistics about Site usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image,
often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to Site visitors and
may be associated with Cookies on the visitors’ hard drives. Pixel Tags allow us
to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site, to deliver branded services,
and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns.
When used in HTML-formatted e-mail messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether
and when the e-mail has been opened.
v.
Information
That You Voluntarily Provide. Rodan + Fields also collects Non-PII (e.g.,
your interests, your geographic location, age group, gender and product
and/or cosmetic concerns, and the brands and products you use) when you
voluntarily provide such information to us. When such information is not combined
with any PII, such information is considered to be Non-PII, as it does not personally
identify you or any other user. Additionally, we may aggregate PII in a manner such
that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site,
for example, by using PII to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular
telephone area code. Such aggregate information is considered Non-PII for purposes
of this Policy. Please note that if we combine any Non-PII with
PII, the combined information will be treated by us as PII as long as it is so combined.
2.
Use of Personally
Identifiable Information by Rodan + Fields
a.
Personally
Identifiable Information. We may use PII in the following ways:
i.
Fulfillment
of Requests. Rodan + Fields may use PII about you to for the purposes detailed
in this policy including to send newsletters to you or fulfill your purchase.
ii.
Administrative
Communications. From time to time we may use PII about you to send to you important
information regarding the Site, or changes to our terms, conditions, and policies.
If you have elected to provide us with your contact information, e.g.,
by registering on the Site, emailing our Customer Service department or placing
an order, we may provide you with service related announcements concerning the Site
or contact you regarding your customer service requests or your order. For example,
all registered users will receive a welcoming email to confirm their registration.
These types of communications are necessary to serve you, respond to your concerns
and to provide the high level of customer service that Rodan + Fields offers its
customers. Because this information may be important to your use of the
Site, you may not opt-out of receiving such communications.
iii.
Other Communications. The PII you provide may be used
by Rodan + Fields to create and deliver to you emails such as our newsletters, surveys
or other email messages containing product and event information, cosmetics tips
or promotions (“Promotional Emails”). If you prefer not to receive such emails,
please see
Section 9 (Choice/Opt-Out)
below. You may receive the benefit of hearing from Rodan + Fields via postal mail
or phone even if you have opted-out from receiving Promotional Emails.
iv.
Purchases.
When you make a purchase through the Site, we may collect your credit card number
or other payment account number, billing address and other information related to
such purchase (collectively, "Payment Information") from you, and may use such Payment
Information in order to fulfill your purchase.
v.
E-mails
to Friends. We may provide functionality to permit you to send messages regarding
Site-related content to a friend through the Site. If you wish to use this feature,
you may provide us with your friend’s e-mail address so that we can facilitate your
sending of such message to your friend. Rodan + Fields may retain
the friend’s email address and may use it for any other purpose described
in this Privacy Policy.
vi.
Promotions.
We may operate sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions (collectively, "Promotions")
through the Site. We typically ask you for certain PII when you enter and, if applicable,
win a Promotion. You should carefully review the rules, if any, of each Promotion
in which you participate through the Site, as they may contain additional important
information about Rodan + Field’s use of PII about you. To the extent that the terms
and conditions of such rules concerning the treatment of PII about you conflict
with this Policy, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control.
vii.
Internal Business
Purposes. We may also use PII about you for our internal business purposes,
such as data analysis, audits and so forth.
b.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information. Because Non-PII
does not personally identify you, we may use such information for any purpose. In
addition, we reserve the right to share such Non‑PII, which does not personally
identify you, with Consultants and other third parties, for any purpose.
i.
Aggregate Information. We may use the information
you provide in aggregate (Non-PII) form for internal business purposes, such as
generating statistics and developing marketing plans. We may collect, store or accumulate
certain Non-PII concerning your use of the Site, such as information regarding which
of our pages are most popular. We may share or transfer Non-PII with or to our Consultants,
licensees and partners.
c.
In some instances, we may combine
Non-PII with PII (such as embedding e-mail addresses in cookies). If we do combine
any Non-PII with PII, the combined information will be treated by us as PII as long
as it is so combined (see Section 2.a
above).
3.
Disclosure
of Personally Identifiable Information
a.
Service Providers
We work with third parties who provide services
including but not limited to data analysis, order fulfillment and other services
of an administrative nature. We may share PII about you with such third parties
for the purpose of enabling these third parties to provide services to us.
Such service providers may include customer support specialists,
webhosting companies, fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that fill product orders
or coordinate mailings), data analysis firms and email service providers. Such third
parties may be provided with access to PII needed to perform their functions, but
may not use such information for any other purpose.
b.
Communications to Consultants
When you submit PII on this Site,
the information you provide may be shared with Consultants if you consent to this
disclosure by choosing to be associated with a Consultant. If you choose, we may
share your name, phone number, email address and order information with Consultants.
Consultants may use this information for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy,
including to follow up on orders you placed on the Site or contact you with other
special offers from Rodan + Fields.

you to third parties for their use in marketing third-party products or services
to you without your consent.

e.
Promotions
We may share the PII you provide in connection with
Promotions with third parties sponsors of such Promotions (irrespective of whether
such Promotions are hosted by us), or otherwise in accordance with the rules applicable
to such Promotion. You should carefully review the rules, if any, of each Promotion
in which you participate through the Site, as they may contain additional important
information about a sponsor's or other third parties’ use of PII. To the extent
that the terms and conditions of such rules concerning the treatment of PII conflict
with this Policy, the terms and conditions of such rules will control.
If you elect to participate in any promotions,
sweepstakes, surveys, questionnaires or other events during your visit to our Site,
the rules or terms and conditions for those events may indicate that PII about you
will be shared with third parties. By choosing to participate and submitting PII
with respect to such events, you consent to disclosure of PII about you to such
third parties. Rodan + Fields is not responsible for and disclaims all liability
for any use of the information you choose to provide to such third parties.
f.

We reserve the right to transfer any and all information
that we collect from Site users to a third party in the event of any reorganization,
merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or
any portion of Rodan + Fields’ business, assets or stock (including without limitation
in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
g. Law Enforcement; Emergencies; Compliance
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Policy
to the contrary, we reserve the right to disclose PII about you to others as we
believe to be appropriate: (a) to comply with legal process; (b) to respond to governmental
requests; (c) to enforce our Terms of Service; (d) to protect our operations; (e)
to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of Rodan + Fields, you or others;
and (f) to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may
sustain. We may disclose any information, including PII, we deem necessary,
in our sole discretion, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process
or governmental request. We may also exchange information, including PII, with other
companies and organizations for credit fraud protection and risk reduction.
