We collect your personal information in the following  ways:

A. Registration

Without this minimal amount of  information, you cannot create a Beautifinder account. Like other passwords,  you should choose one that is known only by you. Beautifinder requests other  information from you during the registration process, (e.g., , location, etc.)  that Beautifinder uses to provide better, more customized services such as  language-specific profile pages and updates, better ads, and more valuable  opportunities. You acknowledge that this information is personal to you, and by  creating an account on Beautifinder, you allow others, including Beautifinder,  to identify you and to allow Beautifinder to use your information in accordance  with our User Agreement.

Any  information you provide at registration or in the Profile section may be used  by Beautifinder as described in the User Agreement and this Privacy Policy,  including for the purpose of allowing clients, potential clients and  cosmetologist to find you on Beautifinder, or for serving more relevant advertisements on Beautifinder.

D. Using the Beautifinder’s Site and Applications
E. Cookies
  1. most websites, we use cookies and web log files to track site usage and trends,  to improve the quality of our service, to customize your experience on Beautifinder,  as well as to deliver Beautifinder and third-party advertising to Users both on  and off the Beautifinder site. A cookie is a tiny data file that resides on  your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows us to recognize you as  a User when you return to the Beautifinder website using the same computer and  web browser. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your  browser, but in some cases doing so may impact your ability to use Beautifinder.  One type of cookie, known as a “persistent” cookie, is set once you’ve logged in to your Beautifinder account. The next time you visit the Beautifinder  website, the persistent cookie will allow us to recognize you as an existing  User so you will not need to log in before using the Services. In order to  access or change any of your private information however, you must log in  securely again with your password even if your computer contains your  persistent cookie. Another type of cookie, called a “ session” cookie, is used  to identify a particular visit to the Beautifinder website. Session cookies  expire after a short time or when you close your web browser. Other technology  like Macromedia’s flash can be used to place the functional equivalent of a  cookie on your computer. You can control flash “local stored objects” or “flash  cookies” using the Macromedia Website Privacy Settings Panel at  www.macromedia.com. Beautifinder may use cookie-equivalent technology for the  limited purpose of enhancing the security of Beautifinder's services. We do not  use flash cookies for advertising purposes.

In the course of serving advertisements or optimizing the  Services to our Users, we may allow authorized third parties to place or  recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Any information provided to third  parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable but may provide  general segment information (e.g., your industry or geography, career field, or  information about your professional or educational background) for the  enhancement of your user experience by providing more relevant advertising.  Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your  browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Beautifinder  does not store unencrypted personally identifiable information in the cookies.

Beautifinder does not provide    personally identifiable information to any third party ad network.

  1. use ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, anonymous ad network tags, and  cookies to more effectively serve ads to our Users on and off Beautifinder  through ad networks, as well as to collect anonymized, aggregated auditing,  research and reporting for advertisers. Because your web browser requests  advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks  can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web  page from their site.

You may opt-out of ads served to you off Beautifinder  here, by turning off “Advertising Preferences.” If you opt-out you may lose  certain functionality of the Beautifinder Services, as well as the potential  benefit of receiving ads that are targeted to your interests which, in turn,  may limit your ability to fully realize the benefits of the Beautifinder  Services to build and leverage your professional network.

Beautifinder accounts are also defaulted to allow Users  to be contacted to participate in polls, surveys and partner advertising. Click  here to change these settings.

If you close your account, we have no  obligation to retain your information, and may delete any or all of your  account information without liability. However, we may retain certain data  contributed by you if Beautifinder believes it may be necessary to prevent  fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of  aggregated, non-personally identifiable data, account recovery, or if required  by law. Beautifinder may also retain and use your information if necessary to  provide the Services to other Users. For example, just as an email you may send  to another person through an email service provider resides in that person’s  inbox even after you delete it from your sent files or close your account, emails  or InMails you send on Beautifinder to other Users,   as well as your  contributions to Beautifindermessages, may remain visible to others after you  have closed your account. Similarly, other information    you have shared with  others, or that other Users have copied, may also remain visible. Beautifinder  disclaims any liability in relation to the    deletion or retention (subject to  the terms herein) of information or any obligation not to delete the  information.

D. Memorializing Accounts

If we learn that a  User is deceased, we may memorialize the User’s account. In these cases we may  restrict profile access, remove messaging functionality, and close an account  if we receive a formal request from the User’s next of kin or other proper  legal request to do so.

4. Your Obligations

  1. a User, you have certain obligations to other Users. Some of these obligations  are imposed by applicable law and regulations, and others have become  commonplace in user-friendly communities of like-minded members such as Beautifinder:
  • You must, at all times, abide by the terms and conditions  of the then-current Privacy Policy and User Agreement. This includes respecting  all intellectual property rights that may belong to third parties (such as  trademarks or photographs).
