Studio Beauty Warehouse Privacy Policy

What our Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers any personal information that Studio Beauty Warehouse obtains from you when you use services on our site. This policy does not cover the practices of companies that Studio Beauty Warehouse does not own or control, or the actions of people that Studio Beauty Warehouse does not employ or manage.

Our Privacy Policy may change in the future. We invite you to check back periodically to see if we have made any changes. If we make any material changes, we will post a notice on our home page.
By using this site, you agree to the terms of our policy.

What Personal Information is Collected

Depending on how you use Studio Beauty Warehouse, we may ask you to share personal information with us. Whether you choose to give Studio Beauty Warehouse information is completely up to you, but keep in mind that if you withhold information, you may not be able to use some of our services.

When Personal Information is Collected

Studio Beauty Warehouse will ask you for information, including some personal information, if you use one of several services:

Becoming a registered user. In order to register, you need to share some personal information, such as your name and e-mail address. You do not have to be a registered user to visit Studio Beauty Warehouse's web pages. But, you will have to register if you want to place orders or make full use of our services.

Making a purchase. When you buy something on Studio Beauty Warehouse, you have to supply a billing address, phone number, shipping address, and credit card information. By making a purchase, you become a registered user of Studio Beauty Warehouse. You can choose to store information needed to make a purchase, such as your credit card number, shipping and billing addresses in the My Account - Profile page. If you change your mind about storing this information, you can amend or delete it by going to the relevant area of the My Account-Profile page and following the instructions. You can access this section using your registration password.

Sweepstakes, Contests and Surveys. If you enter a sweepstakes or contest, or answer a survey, you will become a registered user (if you aren't one already). We may also ask you for some demographic information, such as your age. If you choose not to answer, you probably will not be able to participate in the sweepstakes, contest or survey.

Gift Advisor and Beauty Advisor. If you are not already registered and you send an e-mail to our Gift or Beauty Advisor, we will create a registration profile for you. This will make you a registered user. We may also collect information about e-mails that you send to our advisors. We use this information for product and site analysis only.

How Studio Beauty Warehouse Protects Your Information

We realize that our customers trust us to protect their personal information. We take that task seriously. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. For example:

  • We use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") authentication to guarantee the confidentiality of online transactions made on our site. SSL authentication and encryption of the information that you send to us over the Internet help protect your online transaction information from third party interception.
  • We never display your full credit card number once it has been entered. We will only reveal the last four digits of your credit card for verification purposes.
  • We urge you to protect your own privacy. We recommend that you do not share your password with anyone or share your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail.

Unfortunately, despite all of our efforts, there is always a risk that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions. This reality is true of all Internet use. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit, and you transmit all information at your own risk.

How Studio Beauty Warehouse Uses Your Personal Information

Studio Beauty Warehouse collects personal information primarily to make our services more rewarding for you to use. We usually use this information for internal purposes, such as studying our customers' preferences. We may also use your information to contact you for account and promotional purposes.

In the event that another company buys the assets or stock of Studio Beauty Warehouse, your personal information may then belong to another entity.

How to Avoid Receiving Newsletters and Other Studio Beauty Warehouse Materials

We use e-mail addresses to send out newsletters and other announcements with information about Studio Beauty Warehouse's new products, gifts and special features. When you register, you can choose not to receive these announcements by opting-out of delivery. If you receive an e-mail and want to avoid further messages, look at the end of the e-mail for instructions on how to remove yourself from the mailing list. You can also edit your e-mail preferences at Studio Beauty Warehouse's My Account - Profile.

Studio Beauty Warehouse may share your personal information with companies that perform services for us, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mails, analyzing customer data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, investigating fraudulent activity, conducting customer surveys, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not disclose your personally identifiable information for other purposes.

Some personal information is stored on servers owned by other companies. Only Studio Beauty Warehouse has the right to access this information. We currently share aggregate information about our customers with advertisers and marketing partners. This information does not identify individual users. Personal information may be disclosed if required by law.

Studio Beauty Warehouse does not currently sell or license personal information. Before selling or licensing your personal information, we will post a notice in this Privacy Policy and on our home page.
At this time, Studio Beauty Warehouse does not share any personal information with its affiliates. It is possible that this policy will change in the future. If we do decide to share information with our affiliates, we will post a notice in this Privacy Policy and on our home page.
