Cookies, web beacons, and advertisers

once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising.
A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your

also referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that
hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used
in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact

This web site may serve third party advertisements that may also
use cookies and web beacons in the course of ads being served on

Refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact,
or locate the person to whom such information pertains, including, but not
limited to, name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, financial
profiles, social security number, and credit card information. Personally identifiable
information does not include information that is collected anonymously (that
is, without identification of the individual user) or demographic information
not connected to an identified individual.
What personally identifiable information is collected?
We may collect basic user profile information from all of our visitors. We
collect the following additional information from our authorized customers:
the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of authorized customers,
the nature and size of the business, and the nature and size of the advertising
inventory that the authorized customer intends to purchase or sell.
What organizations are collecting the information?
In addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service
vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses and banks and including
amazon.com) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, escrow, and
sales services may collect this information from our visitors and authorized
customers. We do not control how these third parties use such information,
but we do ask them to disclose how they use personal information provided to
them from visitors and authorized customers. Some of these third parties may
be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do
not store, retain, or use the information given to them.
How does the site use personally identifiable information?
We use personally identifiable information to customize the site, to make appropriate
service offerings, and to fulfill buying and selling requests on the site.
We may email visitors and authorized customers about research or purchase and
selling opportunities on the site or information related to the subject matter
of the site. We may also use personally identifiable information to contact
visitors and authorized customers in response to specific inquiries, or to
provide requested information.
With whom may the information be shared?
Personally identifiable information about authorized customers may be shared
with other authorized customers who wish to evaluate potential transactions
with other authorized customers. We may share aggregated information about
our visitors, including the demographics of our visitors and authorized customers,
with our affiliated agencies and third party vendors. We also offer the opportunity
to "opt out" of receiving information or being contacted by us or by any agency
acting on our behalf.
How is personally identifiable information stored?
Personally identifiable information collected by cosmeticslaboratory.com is
securely stored and is not accessible to third parties or employees of cosmeticslaboratory.com
except for use as indicated above.
What choices are available to visitors regarding collection, use
and distribution of the information?
Visitors and authorized customers may opt out of receiving unsolicited information
from or being contacted by us and/or our vendors and affiliated agencies by
responding to emails as instructed, or by contacting us at admin@

How does cosmeticslaboratory.com use login information?
cosmeticslaboratory.com uses login information, including, but not limited to,
IP addresses, ISPs, and browser types, to analyze trends, administer the site,
track a user's movement and use, and gather broad demographic information.
What partners or service providers have access to personally
identifiable information from visitors and/or authorized customers
on the site?
cosmeticslaboratory.com has entered into and will continue to enter into partnerships
and other affiliations with a number of vendors. Such vendors may have access
to certain personally identifiable information on a need to know basis for
evaluating authorized customers for service eligibility. Our privacy policy
does not cover their collection or use of this information.
Disclosure of personally identifiable information to comply with
law.
We will disclose personally identifiable information in order to comply with
a court order or subpoena or a request from a law enforcement agency to release
information. We will also disclose personally identifiable information when
reasonably necessary to protect the safety of our visitors and authorized customers.
How does the site keep personally identifiable information secure?
All of our employees are familiar with our security policy and practices. The
personally identifiable information of our visitors and authorized customers
is only accessible to a limited number of qualified employees who are given
a password in order to gain access to the information. We audit our security
systems and processes on a regular basis. Sensitive information, such as credit
card numbers or social security numbers, is protected by encryption protocols,
in place to protect information sent over the internet. While we take commercially
reasonable measures to maintain a secure site, electronic communications and
databases are subject to errors, tampering and break-ins, and we cannot guarantee
or warrant that such events will not take place and we will not be liable to
visitors or authorized customers for any such occurrences.
How can visitors correct any inaccuracies in personally identifiable
information?
Visitors and authorized customers may contact us to update personally identifiable
information about them or to correct any inaccuracies by emailing us
at admin@ cosmeticslaboratory.com
Can a visitor delete or deactivate personally identifiable information
collected by the site?
We provide visitors and authorized customers with a mechanism to delete/deactivate
personally identifiable information from the site's database by contacting admin@
cosmeticslaboratory.com. However, because of backups and records of deletions,
it may be impossible to delete a visitor's entry without retaining some residual
information. An individual who requests to have personally identifiable information
deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will not
sell, transfer, or use personally identifiable information relating to that
individual in any way moving forward.
What happens if the privacy policy changes?
We will let our visitors and authorized customers know about changes to our
privacy policy by posting such changes on this web site.

This site is not directed at children. Visitors and authorized customers are
