SKIN AURA. values your privacy rights and has committed to transparency in all our products and services. We firmly believe our privacy practices are an integral part of our strive toward becoming a top trusted beauty company.

This Privacy Policy explains how SKIN AURA. collects, uses, discloses and protects your personal information when you visit, create an account, make a purchase, or participate in promotional and affiliate programs at shopskinaura.com.

The policy is designed to comply with applicable United States federal and state consumer privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) and other applicable state data privacy statues.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household (“Personal Information”). Over the past 12 months, we may have collected the following categories:

• Identifiers: Real name, alias, postal address, shipping address, billing address, email address, phone number, account username, password, and IP address.
• Commercial & Transaction Information: Records of skincare products viewed, added to cart, or purchased; order history; and return or exchange records. (Note: Payment card details are processed directly by third-party, PCI-DSS-compliant payment processors and are never stored on our servers.)
• Affiliate, Creator & Promo Information: Payout details (e.g., PayPal account email or banking payout details), custom referral codes, performance metrics, and tax identification numbers (SSN or EIN on Form W-9) where commission earnings exceed mandatory IRS reporting thresholds.
• Internet & Network Activity: Browsing history on our Site, search queries, interactions with site features, device type, operating system, browser type, and cookie identifiers.
• Inferences: Skin type preferences, product concerns, or purchase habits derived from your on-site interactions to provide personalized product recommendations.

2. Sources of Personal Information

We collect Personal Information from the following sources:

• Directly from You: When you register for an account, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a review, contact customer support, or register for our affiliate/promo commission program.
• Automatically Through Tracking Technologies: When you navigate the Site, via cookies, web beacons, pixels, and server logs.
• Third Parties: Attribution and analytics providers, fraud-prevention services, shipping/logistics carriers, and affiliate tracking platforms.

3. Purposes for Processing Your Information

We use your Personal Information for legitimate business and commercial purposes:

• Order Fulfillment & Account Management: Processing transactions, arranging shipping, managing customer accounts, providing order confirmations, and handling returns or customer service inquiries.
• Affiliate & Promo Administration: Tracking referral links, verifying qualified purchases, calculating and issuing commission payouts, and filing mandatory tax documentation.
• Marketing & Personalization: Delivering tailored product recommendations, marketing communications, and promotional offers (subject to your opt-out preferences).
• Security & Fraud Prevention: Detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, or fraudulent activity, and verifying account credentials.
• Legal Compliance: Complying with applicable laws, government requests, legal proceedings, and industry standards.

4. Disclosures of Personal Information

We do not sell your Personal Information for monetary compensation. However, under certain state privacy laws (such as California and Colorado), sharing identifiers and browsing behavior with third-party advertising networks for targeted, cross-context behavioral advertising may be classified as a "sale" or "sharing."

We disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients:

• Service Providers: Third parties that perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, e-commerce infrastructure, payment processors, fulfillment warehouses, delivery carriers, customer support software, and email delivery platforms).
• Affiliate & Analytics Partners: Platforms that verify commission tracking and evaluate site performance.
• Advertising & Marketing Partners: Third-party networks (e.g., Meta, Google, TikTok) that deliver targeted advertisements based on your browsing activity.
• Legal Authorities: Regulatory agencies, law enforcement, or legal counsel when required by law or to protect our legal rights, safety, or property.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and pixels to enable core site functionality, analyze traffic, and display relevant advertisements.

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for site navigation, cart management, and checkout.
• Analytics & Performance Cookies: Help us understand customer interaction with our storefront.
• Targeted Advertising Cookies: Used to serve relevant ads across other websites and social platforms.

You can set your browser to reject certain cookies or manage your preferences via our on-site cookie consent tool. You can also broadcast a legally recognized opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC).

6. Notice of Financial Incentive (Promos & Affiliate Program)

We offer commission-based promotions, affiliate referral incentives, and discount rewards (e.g., signup discounts or commission per sale). Because these programs involve the collection of personal information (such as contact information, sales performance, and payout details), they may be considered a “financial incentive” under state law.

• Material Terms: Participants receive commission payments, credits, or discounts in exchange for promoting SKIN AURA. products or signing up for communications. Full terms are presented during program registration.
• Value of Consumer Data: The incentives offered are reasonably related to the estimated value of the referral marketing and customer engagement provided, minus fulfillment and administration expenses.
• Opt-In and Withdrawal: Participation is entirely voluntary. You may opt in by registering for the program. You may withdraw at any time by contacting us at contact@shopskinaura.com or following the cancellation steps in your affiliate/promo portal.

7. Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including satisfying legal, accounting, tax, and reporting requirements:

• Customer Account & Order Data: Retained for the duration of your active account and up to 7 years following a purchase to comply with tax and audit laws.
• Affiliate & Commission Records: Retained for 7 years following payment to satisfy federal and state tax reporting obligations.
• Marketing Data: Retained until you opt out or unsubscribe from communications.

8. Your State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residency (including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and other applicable states), you may have the following rights:

• Right to Know / Access: The right to request details regarding the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected, used, and disclosed about you.

• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you (such as denying goods, charging different prices, or providing a different level of quality) for exercising any of your privacy rights.

Exercising Your Rights

To submit a request to access, correct, or delete your data, or to opt out of targeted advertising:

• Email: contact@shopskinaura.com with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request".
• Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser transmits a recognized GPC opt-out signal, we will honor it as a valid request to opt out of targeted advertising and data sharing.

We will verify your identity before processing your request by matching the information you provide with data already in our system. You may also designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf, provided they submit proof of written authorization.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with Personal Information without parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete that data.

10. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system is 100% secure.
