Third-Party Service Providers. We may share personal information collected through our Sites with third-party service providers who act for or on behalf of us. These third-party service providers may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are required by contract to keep your personal information confidential and may use it only to provide services on our behalf.

Your personal information may be transferred to a successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of our Sites to another organization or if we ire involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets with another entity. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization's use of your personal information will still be subject to this Privacy Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on one or more of our Sites of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information
Statistics. We share statistical information about the use of our Sites with our donors, sponsors and partners. This information does not identify any individual personally. Rather, this information constitutes de-personalized and de-identified information in an aggregate form.
Links to Other Sites. The Sites may provide links to other websites operated by third parties. Because we have no control over third-party websites, we are not responsible for the availability of those websites and do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, services, products, policies, or other materials on or available from such websites. We shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, advertising, services, products, policies, or other materials on or available from such websites.

Do Not Track Disclosure. We support Do Not Track ("DNT"). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser. We respect the privacy of our Users as well as visitors to our Sites and their choice to enable “Do Not Track”; however, the standards for implementation vary from browser to browser and the internet industry groups have not settled on what exactly “Do Not Track” means for site owners and users. Furthermore, there is currently no method of electing “Do Not Track” on mobile applications. Currently, most internet companies do not modify their behavior upon receipt of “Do Not Track” requests.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time and will post the updated Privacy Policy on the Sites. Your use of any of our Sites following an update of the Privacy Policy shall be deemed your acceptance of such changes. You agree to review this Privacy Policy regularly so that you understand our current Privacy Policy.
The security of your personal information is important to us, and we strive to implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we store, in order to protect it from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. These policies and procedures may include, when feasible, encryption of data using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) system, or other similar encryption methods, and using a secured messaging service when your personal information is sent electronically through the Sites.
Despite these policies and procedures, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the personal information we have collected from you. As such, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from us via the Sites, by Internet, text message or email cannot be guaranteed.
We do not knowingly collect information provided by children under the age of 13. If you are a minor (under the age of 18), you can use the Sites only with the consent and under the supervision of your parents or legal guardians. If you are a minor, please do not submit any personal information to, on or through any of the Sites, or any part thereof. IF YOU ARE 13 YEARS OR YOUNGER, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITES, OR ANY PART THEREOF, FOR ANY PURPOSE. Skin PS does not permit children under the age of 18 to create or maintain an Account or register as a User.
We will retain your information for as long as your Account is active or as needed to provide you services on or through our Sites. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. In compliance with our standard data retention policies, we may delete data of inactive Accounts without prior notification.
