1.2 Information Automatically Collected
Whenever you visit or interact with the Websites, platforms or applications we own or offer, we, as well as any of our third-party service providers, may use a variety of technologies such as Cookies (defined below), web beacons, pixel tags, log files, local shared objects (flash cookies), HTML5 Cookies, or other technologies to automatically or passively collect certain information about your online activity.
Please note that we may automatically collect the following information about you:
Computer or Device Information. We may automatically collect your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, MAC Address, mobile carrier, or other unique identifier or information from the computer, mobile device, tablet or other device that you use to access the Websites, platforms or applications, including but not limited to your browser type, device type, operating system, software version, phone model, phone operating system, and the domain name from which you accessed the Websites.
Usage Information. We may collect information about your use of the Websites, platforms or applications, including for instance, the date and time you visit the Websites, the areas or pages of the Websites that you visit, the amount of time you spend viewing or using the Websites, the number of times you return to the Websites, other click-stream or site usage data, emails that you open, forward or click-through to our Websites, and other Dompé U.S. owned platforms or applications you may visit.
Location Information. We collect general information about where traffic on our Websites is coming from around the world. This is used at an aggregate level that does not identify individual users to create reports to better understand our engagement with visitors to the Websites. Location information at an individual level may be used for narrowly tailored efforts for our products or research activities.
Our Third-Party Service Providers. We, as well as third parties that provide content, advertising, or other functionality on the Websites, applications or platforms may use Cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Technologies”) to automatically collect information. Technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us and our partners to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with us through the Websites, applications, or platforms.
Use of Third Party Analytic Technologies. We may use third parties’ analytics and tracking tools, including Google® Analytics, to better understand who and how people are using the Websites, application or platforms, and how to improve the effectiveness of these, and related content. These tools may use technology such as Cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, log files, Flash Cookies, HTML5 Cookies, or other technologies to automatically collect and store certain information. They may also combine information they collect from your interaction with the Websites with information they collect from other sources.
Cookies. "Cookies” are small text files that are stored on users' computers by the websites they visit. They are used to make websites work and operate more efficiently and to provide information to the website owners. The Websites use Technical Cookies, Google Analytics Cookies and Third-Party Cookies, all of which are detailed below.
Technical Cookies - These are installed by the owner of a website, and can be divided into browser or session Cookies, enabling a correct browsing experience and use of the Websites (for instance, they help define a browsing session or select the Website language or font size).
Google® Analytics Cookies
Usage of a visitor’s IP address by Google Analytics Cookies
Each computer and device connected to the Internet is assigned a unique IP address, in numbers. Since such numbers are typically bundle-assigned to countries, an IP address can be used to identify the country, province and city from which a computer is connecting. Google Analytics retrieves the IP addresses of the Dompé U.S. Website visitors to provide an indication of their geographic location. This method is called “IP geolocation”. Google Analytics does not report information about the visitor actual IP addresses. The use of IP masking allows Google Analytics to communicate information using only a part of the IP address for geolocation. Google may disclose information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process information on Google’s behalf.
Browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics Cookies
You can disable Google Analytics using a browser add-on component; it tells the JavaScript code from Google Analytics (ga.js) to specify that the information about the Website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The browser add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the Website itself. In addition, most browsers allow some control of most Cookies through the browser settings. If a user doesn’t wish to receive Cookies of any type on their computer, the privacy protection level of the browser can be elevated using the appropriate option. However, some areas of the Websites may not function properly if Cookies are denied.
Third-Party-Cookies
These Cookies are installed by third parties through the Websites. With regard to these Cookies, the Website owner and editor are just technical intermediaries and cannot define the procedures and purposes of the operation of said Cookies. For information on the third-party Cookies in use, refer to the websites of the third-party website suppliers. You can accept or reject Cookies by changing your browser security settings. You’ll find instructions on how to set up the most common browsers below.

Some of the categories of personal information elements we collect may be classified as “sensitive” under U.S. state privacy laws (“sensitive information”), including racial or ethnic origin, citizenship or immigration status, health information, government identification numbers (such as social security number, driver’s license number, state ID card number, or passport number), account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account, precise geolocation, the contents of a consumer’s mail, email, or text message, information concerning sex life or sexual orientation.

De-identified Information
We may receive, or process personal information to create, deidentified information that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual or household. Where we maintain deidentified information, we will maintain and use the information in deidentified form and not attempt to reidentify the information except as required or permitted by law.

Opt-Out of “Selling” of Personal Information. In limited circumstances we may share your personal information (such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, and phone number) with third parties who may use such information for their own commercial or business purposes. In certain states, this may be considered a sale. To opt out of such sharing, please fill out our Individual Rights Request Form.
Authorized Agents
In certain circumstances, you are permitted to use an authorized person or corporate entity to act as your agent (as that term is defined by the California Consumer Protection Act (“CCPA”)) to exercise your rights and submit requests on your behalf. Agents acting on your behalf to exercise your rights should follow the instructions in this Privacy Policy and in this section. When we receive an agent request we must verify that the request is valid and intentional (e.g. that it comes from you) so we may seek to verify your identity with you or the agent, and we will also verify the agent’s identity and its authority to act on your behalf. To the extent that we are unable to verify the identity of the agent acting on your behalf, we may request additional information before we process a request.
For requests to know, delete, or correct personal information, we require that you submit an Individual Rights Request Form together with one of the following to help us verify the agent’s identity:
a power of attorney valid under the laws of California authorizing your agent to act on your behalf for the purposes you elect; or
sufficient evidence to show that you have:
provided the authorized agent signed permission to act on your behalf; and
verified your own identity directly with us:
pursuant to the instructions set forth in these U.S. Disclosures; or that
You have directly confirmed with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request on your behalf.
For requests to opt-out of personal information “sales” or “sharing”, we require signed permission demonstrating your authorized agent has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
