Summary of Key Points

1. What Information Do We Collect?

Personal information you disclose to us

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you book or receive services at one of our studios, when you purchase products from us, or otherwise when you contact us. The personal information we collect may include:

Health and intake information. Before you receive a whitening session, our in-studio intake and consent form asks about a limited set of conditions relevant to teeth whitening (for example, pregnancy, dental restorations, or tooth and gum sensitivity). We collect this information with your consent and use it only to determine whether whitening is appropriate for you and to provide your service safely. We do not use it for marketing and we do not sell or share it.

Payment data. If you make a purchase, payment is collected and processed by our payment processor, Stripe. We do not store your full payment card number. You can find Stripe's privacy notice here: https://stripe.com/privacy.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Information automatically collected

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate our website. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, referring URLs, approximate (city-level) location derived from your IP address, and information about how and when you use our website, such as the pages you view. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our website and for our analytics and advertising purposes, as described in Section 4.

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

3. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

We never share your mobile phone number or text messaging opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. See Section 8.

4. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?

To the extent these technologies are deemed a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (which includes targeted advertising, as defined under applicable US state laws), you can opt out by using the links above or by contacting us as described in Section 10.

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information or, if this is not possible (for example, because it has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

6. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

7. Do We Collect Information From Minors?

We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at booking@purewhitestudios.com.

8. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details in Section 12. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to the SMS messages that we send, by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by contacting us using the details provided in Section 12. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you, for example to send you service-related messages that are necessary to confirm or remind you of an appointment, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with third parties.

Text messaging: If you have opted in to receive text messages from us, message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help.

Cookies and similar technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain features of our website. See Section 4 for the specific technologies we use and how to opt out of them.

If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at booking@purewhitestudios.com.

9. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

Your rights

You have rights under certain US state data protection laws. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law. These rights include:

How to exercise your rights

To exercise these rights, email us at booking@purewhitestudios.com or use the contact details in Section 12.

We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with applicable laws.

Request verification

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. If we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. If you submit the request through an authorized agent, the agent will need to provide written and signed permission from you to submit the request on your behalf.

Appeals

Under certain US state data protection laws, if we decline to take action regarding your request, you may appeal our decision by emailing us at booking@purewhitestudios.com. We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decision.
