PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to your use of the website
https://www.sageaestheticssd.com/, which is owned and operated by Sage Aesthetics. The
terms “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Sage Aesthetics. Your privacy and security are important
to us. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we will use and protect the
personal information you provide to us. We will not share your personal information with
anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. We do reserve the right to make changes
to this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please check back periodically.

Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. Please take time to read our Terms and
Conditions.
1. WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU.
1.1 Personal Information Versus Non Personal Information. Our primary goal in collecting
information from you is to provide you with an efficient and helpful experience while using
the Website. In order to do so, the Website collects two types of information about you:
Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
(a) “Personal Information” refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who
you are and can be used to identify, contact, or locate you. Examples of Personal
Information include, without limitation, your first name together with your last name,
your credit card number, your mailing address and/or email address, and your phone
number. Generally, we collect Personal Information when you use the Website to
make product purchases, fill out surveys or questionnaires, join our mailing list,
request catalogs, correspond with us, enter one of our sweepstakes or contests,
choose to submit testimonials, stories, photos, or the like to the Website, or
otherwise volunteer information about yourself. If you choose to complete any
questionnaires or call any of our providers to receive personalized skin consultations
or analysis, we will also collect personal information related to your personal health
such as: (i) age, (ii) gender, (iii) history of allergies, (iv) certain use of medication or
drugs, and (v) any special health problems or concerns. If you purchase a gift
certificate on the Website, we may collect the name, email address, mailing address,
and telephone number of the recipient.
(b) “Non-Personal Information” refers to information that does not, by itself, identify you
or a specific individual. Examples of Non-Personal Information we may collect
includes, without limitation, demographic information, which web pages of ours aremost often visited, and which of our products are either receiving the most purchases
or website visits. We may collect Non-Personal Information through any of the
methods discussed above, as well as automatically through the use of industry-
standard technologies discussed further below.
1.2 Access and Change To Personal Information. We provide you with the ability to review,
update, or correct Personal Information previously submitted by emailing us at
mailto:liz@sageaestheticssd.com. You may also review, update, or correct your Personal
Information at any time by logging into your account on
https://www.sageaestheticssd.com/. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to
accommodate all such requests, especially to the extent such activities will not compromise
privacy or security interests. Also, upon a user’s written request, we will functionally delete
the user and his or her Personal Information from the database, where such information is
stored; however, we will retain one copy of all information provided for certain legal or
archival purposes for a prescribed period. If you cancel an order or do not complete an order,
we may collect and use any email address or other information that you have entered just as
we would collect and use it if you had completed an order.
1.3 Information Collected Through Technology. We and our third-party service providers
may collect information from visitors to the Website regarding the referring URL, your IP
address, which browser you used to come to the Website, information regarding your domain
server, the country, state, and telephone area code where your server is located, your type
of computer, timestamp data, and the pages of the Website that you viewed during your visit.
Some of this information is gathered through the following technologies by us or our third-
party service providers:
(a) Cookies. In order to improve your user experience, we may use cookies. “Cookies”
are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s
hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning to your computer a unique number
that has no meaning outside of the Website. Our cookies do not generally contain any
personally identifying information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies,
but you can usually configure your browser to prevent this. Not accepting cookies
may make certain features of the Website unavailable to you. We may combine the
information we collect through cookies with other information we have collected
from you. This information may be used to improve our websites, to personalize your
online experience, and to serve you ads based on your past visits to our website.
(b) IP Address. You can visit many areas of the Website anonymously without the need
to become a registered user. Even in such cases, we may collect IP addresses
automatically. Each time you access the Website and each time you request one of
our pages, our server logs your IP address. Standing alone, your IP address is not
necessarily personally identifiable.(c) Web Beacons. We may use a variety of other technical methods for tracking
purposes, including web beacons. Web beacons are small pieces of data that are
embedded in web pages and e-mails. We may use web beacons in HTML e-mails that
we send our users to determine whether they have opened those e-mails and/or
clicked on links in those e-mails. The information from the use of these technical
methods may be collected in a form that is personally identifiable.
2. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.
2.1 Reproduction of Content. For visitors who provide photographs, stories, testimonials,
or other feedback about our products or our Website, or provide us any other information via

(b) Service Providers. We may disclose your Personal Information to our third-party
service providers, including companies we retain to manage or host the Website,
companies we retain to fulfill product purchases or to provide services to you on our
behalf, and companies we retain as consultants to conduct research on our behalf.
These third parties may not use your Personal Information other than to provide the
services requested by us. For example, we will release your credit card number to

Non-Personal Information, we also share website usage information we gather from
visitors to the Website who have received a targeted promotional campaign with our
third-party marketing service partners for the purpose of targeting future campaigns

on the Website through the use of web beacons. In addition, we may provideaggregated statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related
Website information to third parties. We reserve the right to use or disclose Non-

companies that use tracking technologies to serve advertisements on our behalf
across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your visits to our
websites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications. If you
would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not

who use our products or services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to
law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
Moreover, we may use or release account information and Personal Information when

and Conditions or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our users, others, and
ourselves.

interest to us if we are acquired by or merged with another organization. In such event,
we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (either by posting a notice on the Website

transferred and becomes subject to different privacy policy; however, in the event we
fail to notify you, your Personal Information will still be transferred, but subject to this

authorize your credit card transactions and to ship your order. All orders are transmitted over
secure Internet connections using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.

transmissions made on or through the Internet are vulnerable to attack and cannot be
guaranteed to be secure. You hereby acknowledge that we are not responsible for any
intercepted information sent via the internet, and you hereby release us from any and all
claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized
manner.

secrecy of your User ID, password, and/or any account information in your possession or
control. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. The Website contains
links to third parties, who may collect information directly from you. Each of the websites
