If you opt out of receiving such communications, note that we may continue to send you non-promotional emails (such as order confirmation emails or emails about changes to our legal terms).

Restricting cookies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. The help function of your browser should contain instructions to set your computer to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or to not receive cookies at any time. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, certain personalized services cannot be provided to you, and accordingly, you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the Beautyvault features (i.e. you will be able to browse the site, but will not be able to make a purchase).
 

 

HOW DO YOU ACCESS AND UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In order to keep your personal information accurate and complete, you can access or update some of it on your “My accounts” page, where you can log in and update your account information such as shipping address.
 

 

HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION PROTECTED?

Security Methods

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. When we collect or transmit sensitive information such as a credit or debit card number, we use industry standard methods to protect that information. However, no e-commerce solution, website, database or system is completely secure or “hacker proof.” You are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse. 

Email Security

“Phishing” is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an email that looks like it is from us asking you for your personal information, do not respond. We will never request your password, user name, credit card information or other personal information through email.
