Exercising Your Privacy Rights

US residents have the following rights under US Privacy Laws:

• The rights to access, correct, or delete personal information
• The right to obtain a portable copy of personal information;
• The rights to opt out of sharing/targeted advertising, sales of personal information, or profiling. We do not sell personal information, including the personal information of individuals under 16, so we do not offer the right to sell.

If you are a US resident, you can submit a request to exercise your privacy rights under US Privacy Laws by visiting this Request Portal. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights.

To protect your privacy, we may need to authenticate your identity before we respond to your rights request. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to verify your identity for this purpose. Any information you provide to authenticate your identity will only be used to process your rights request.  Please be aware that we do not accept or process rights requests through other means (e.g., via fax or social media).

After submitting your request online, you will receive a follow-up email, which may include a link you must click on in order to verify your identity. If you do not click on that link, we may be unable to complete your request due to lack of verification. It is important that you provide a valid email address in order for us to be able to process your request.

We will respond to your rights request within 45 days, though in certain cases we may inform you that we will need up to another 45 days to act on your request. If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity on or from your account, we will delay taking action on your request until we can appropriately verify your identity and the request as authentic. Also note that each of the rights are subject to certain exceptions. If you believe our response to your rights request is insufficient, you can appeal our decision by contacting Privacy Appeals Officer at usprivacy@us.amorepacific.com and we will inform you of our final decision within 45 days.

We reserve the right to decline to process, or charge a reasonable fee for, requests from a US resident that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

Targeted Advertising

“Targeted advertising” as used in this Privacy Notice means the disclosure of personal information to a third party for behavioral advertising. An example of this is displaying advertisements to a US resident where the advertisement is selected based on personal information obtained from that person’s activities over time and across nonaffiliated websites or online applications to predict such person’s preferences or interests. We share some personal information for behavioral advertising. You can opt out of the sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising by submitting a rights request as described above.

Rights Provided to California Businesses and Service Providers with whom we have Business Relationships

When you engage in a business relationship with us, we will collect and process your personal information as described above and for the specific purposes detailed in our agreed to business terms. Namely, we use your personal information for business purposes such as to perform and provide services on behalf of the business. We do not sell or share the information you provide to us, but we may disclose such information to other service providers from time to time as necessary. This Privacy Policy does not override any specific contracts agreed to by the parties, and relationships may be governed by further privacy agreements. If you are engaging with us on behalf of others in your company or otherwise providing the personal information of others, by engaging with us, you acknowledge and agree that you have the consent of the data subject.

Rights Regarding Sensitive Personal Information

Authorized Agent Requests

You may designate an authorized agent to make a rights request on your behalf. Your authorized agent may submit such a request by following the same method described above.

Financial Incentives

We may offer you certain financial incentives that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information's value. When we offer financial incentives, we request identifiers, though we may also request additional personal information such as name, email, password, shipping address, cell phone number, and date of birth. We share this information with our processors, affiliates, analytics and advertising partners, and business partners. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. We calculate the value of the financial incentive by using the expense related to the offer, and the value of your personal information is the value of the offer presented to you. We currently provide the following financial incentives when you sign up for offers here, rewards here, or otherwise subscribe to our emails and texts. These financial incentives require the use of personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

12. Nevada Privacy Rights

We do not sell personal information to third parties. Nonetheless, Nevada consumers have a right to submit a request to opt-out of sale of personal information, referred to under the Nevada Privacy Law as "covered information." Upon receipt of a verified request, both as to the submission and the identity of the consumer, we will ensure that no covered information, as defined under the Nevada Privacy Law, is sold. We will further notify the customer within 60 days after receipt that the request has been processed. At this time, Nevada residents can only submit this request by contacting us via email at usprivacy@us.amorepacific.com.

13. Changes to Our Privacy Policy 

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically and without prior notice to you. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy periodically so that you remain up-to-date on our current practices and any changes so you can always be aware of what information we collect, use and disclose. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. For changes that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of personal information you have provided to us, we will attempt to obtain your consent before implementing the change by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account or by placing a prominent notice on the Website.
