Interaction with Us on Third Party Services (e.g., Social Media). We have pages on several popular social media sites, and we also include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like”, or “Share” button and widgets and links to various social media platforms on our website. When you use these tools on our Site or when you post on our social media pages, we may receive Personal Information about you, including your name, email address, and other contact information associated with your social media account which may be used for things including but not limited to on-platform optimization and reporting. The information we receive is dependent upon your privacy settings with the social network and is subject to this Privacy Policy. Information you post on a third-party social media (or other) site is subject to such site’s privacy policy. We encourage you to always review and, if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third party websites before linking or connecting them to our website. We do not control the third-party websites' information practices, so please review their statement and your settings on the third party’s site carefully to protect your information.  

For the processing operations carried out jointly for the purpose of on-platform optimization and reporting, as well as for advertising purposes, we and Facebook Ireland Limited (“Facebook”) act as joint controllers and, to this end, we have entered into a joint controllership agreement that sets out our respective responsibilities regarding compliance with our obligations under the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) (available at this link). According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing you with the information referred to in Articles 13 and 14 GDPR, while Facebook is responsible for responding to your requests to exercise your rights under Articles 15-20 GDPR with respect to the personal data stored by Facebook as a result of the processing. In any case, you may exercise your rights with reference to the data processing carried out with Facebook also directly to Facebook.  

Further information on how Facebook processes personal data, including the legal basis Facebook relies on and the ways to exercise data subject rights against Facebook, can be found in Facebook’s Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. 

Security. Server logs may be reviewed for security purposes – e.g., to detect unauthorized activity on the Store. 

Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be processed also in the context of such transactions and for the purpose of executing the transactions. In connection with any such transactions, we will require that any counterparty to the transaction maintain the same standards employed by Menolabs Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information.  

Your Referrals. If you use our “Refer a Friend” program or other referral programs to send promotional messages to one or more of your contacts, we will collect the recipient’s email address and use it solely to send the referral message. We will let the recipient know we sent the referral at your request and that we received his/her email address from you. The person you referred may contact us at privacy@amyris.com to request that we remove this information from our database; nevertheless, we recommend that you inform the referred person prior to the communication of his/her data to us and that you refrain from communicating his/her data to us in case he/she does not want you to proceed.  

Browsing Information. We collect certain information about your use of the Site, including the areas or web pages you viewed on our Site, the Amyris products you viewed or purchased, your IP address, details about your browser or device, and other information about your browsing behavior (collectively, “browsing information”). We use browsing information to improve the design and content of our Site, to suggest content and products that we think may be relevant to you, and to help us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, what promotions visitors like to see, and to measure the success of our advertising campaigns. We collect browsing information and allow third parties to collect such information through cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, local storage, and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Technologies”) as further described below.   

Information from Other Sources. We may receive information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you for the purposes of tailoring content and products that we think may be relevant to you. 

Access to Camera, Video Chat, and Photo Collection. With your consent you may wish to take advantage of Store features that utilize the camera on your personal device to capture photos or conduct a live video chat with customer service or a beauty advisor.  Amyris may collect your image or a video for the purpose of executing these services described in the Store feature. Your image will not be shared publicly, except where you choose to use your device's share capabilities to share a specific image. Images may be retained and used for other internal Amyris purposes, such as user-facing value-add features (e.g. seeing your progress over time), improving features and services (such as through analytics, research and development), and other direct marketing efforts related to your specific use of the Store feature. When you permit access the audio and visual aspects of your personal device for the purposes of a live video chat you may be redirected to a third-party website that supports this video chat function.  Please note, as with any access to a third-party website, the privacy policy of that site will apply when you are redirected to another website. 

Legal basis for processing. The above processing activities will be carried out only when one or more of the following legal bases apply: 

• the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (e.g. “Account information”, “Purchase information”, “Rewards Program”, “Communications with Us”, “Product Reviews on the Site”, “Registration for Contests and Sweepstakes”); 
• you have provided your consent to one or more processing activities (e.g. “Rewards Program”, “Survey”, “Interaction with Us on Third Party Services”, “Browsing Information” – when consent is required –, “Information from Other Sources”, “Access to Camera, Video Chat, and Photo Collection”); 
• the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. “Purchase information”, “Registration for Contests and Sweepstakes”, “Security”); 
• the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests (e.g. “Purchase information”, “Rewards Program”, “Surveys”, “Interaction with Us on Third Party Services”, “Security”, “Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers”, “Your Referrals”, “Access to Camera, Video Chat, and Photo Collection”). Details on the legitimate interests pursued by us are available upon request, to be forwarded at the contact details stated in this Privacy Policy. 

When the processing is based on your consent, you are free to decide on whether or not to grant your consent and you will be entitled to withdraw the consent at any time, as described in this Privacy Policy.  

When the processing is based on our legitimate interest, you will be entitled to exercise your right to opt-out or object to the processing at any time, as described in this Privacy Policy. 

 

3. COOKIES, WEB TECHNOLOGIES, AND ANALYTICS INFORMATION. 

Like many websites, our Store uses automated data collection Technologies, including cookies, to collect certain information. We, as well as third parties, use these Technologies as follows: 

Cookies and Web Technologies (the “Technologies”). A “cookie” is a small text file that identifies your computer or device. When you visit our Store, unique cookies are placed on your browser. A web beacon is a technology with a unique identifier that is typically contained in a small graphic file in a web page or in an email. We may use these Technologies to identify that you’ve logged into the Store, to hold selected products in your shopping cart when you navigate away from the order page, to suggest content and products that we think may be relevant to you, and to monitor aggregate usage of our Store. We also use these Technologies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to improve our Store by recognizing which pages are visited and whether those visits result in purchases.  

More in details, the Technologies installed on the Store include: 

• Strictly Necessary Technologies, which are necessary for the Store to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these Technologies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These Technologies do not store any personally identifiable information. 
• Performance Technologies, which allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Store. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these Technologies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these Technologies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance. 
• Functional Technologies, which enable the Store to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these Technologies then some or all of these services may not function properly. 
• Targeting Technologies, which may be set through our Store by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverting on other sites. They may store directly Personal Information, and are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these Technologies, you will not experience targeted advertising. 

 

You can change your cookies settings for the majority of cookies used on our website through our cookie preference center. 

Where we allow third parties to drop cookies, we do not necessarily have absolute control over those cookies or the data collected.  To make any requests related to the third parties that may drop cookies on the Store, you may also contact us at privacy@amyris.com.

Interest-Based Advertising. So that we can better target our advertising to individuals’ interests, we work with advertising partners who may use Technologies, including cookies to gather browsing Information about you when you use our Store. Section 6 ‘Choices Regarding Your Information’ below contains further information about these activities. 

Analytics. We may also use Google Analytics, Hotjar, Lucky Orange, TikTok, Meta, Pinterest, and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our Store. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s processing of data generated by your use of the Store by visiting http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may use information you post in public areas to provide you with an interactive social media experience that brings aspects of your social networking community into your Store experience. 

We may use information we collect for our own and our affiliate companies’ legitimate interests, such as direct marketing, research (including marketing research), network and information security, to detect security incidents, and to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, including attempts to manipulate or violate our policies, procedures, and terms and conditions.

Disclosures to Protect Us or Others (e.g., as Required by Law and Similar Disclosures).

In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes – e.g., to detect unauthorized activity on the Store.

Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. In such event, we will require the transferee to use Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such Personal Information was collected. 

All the entities above will act, as the case may be, as autonomous data controllers or data processors and, in the latter case, in accordance with the instructions provided by us also through execution of a data processing agreement as required by the applicable law. For more information on the entities to which your Personal Information may be communicated (including the updated list of such entities), please contact us at the contact details provided in this privacy policy.  

 

6. CHOICES REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION 

Your Personal Information  

With your Personal Information, such as information you give us to fulfill an order or to participate in a contest or sign up for an online offer, we will always allow you to change or correct your information and the choice of not receiving marketing from us. There are different ways you can control our use of any submitted Personal Information in connection with promotional communications. 

You will have the option when you set up an account or click on “Sign In” from any page on the Site, to access, correct or update your choices and settings. 

You do not have to provide us with your Personal Information, but if you do not provide us with certain information, we will not be able to provide you with the products or services that you have requested or deal properly with any enquiries or complaints raised by you. Information that are necessary are clearly marked on the Store. 

If you receive email marketing communications from us and want to opt out of receiving such communications in the future, you can opt out and withdraw your consent by clicking a link at the bottom of the promotional email that will allow you to unsubscribe or by contacting us using the details below. You may not opt-out of receiving non-promotional messages regarding your account, such as technical notices, purchase confirmations, or shipping information, as these are communications necessary for us to comply with legal obligations and to perform our contract with you and/or reply to your requests. 

If you have any difficulty managing your communication preferences, please email privacy@amyris.com. 

 

Interest-Based Advertising 

Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals. However, you may stop or restrict the placement of Technologies on your device or remove them by adjusting your preferences as your browser or device permits. The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt out of receiving targeted ads from data partners and other advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these, and also learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy, at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, https://youradchoices.ca/choices/, and www.aboutads.info/choices/. Please note however that in most cases opting out drops an “opt-out cookie” on your browser. As a result, if you delete cookies or use a different computer or browser, you’ll need to renew your opt-out choice. 

To separately make choices for mobile apps on a mobile device, you can download DAA's AppChoices application from your device's app store. Alternatively, for some devices you may use your device's platform controls in your settings to exercise choice.  

You may also exercise control over presentation of personalised adverts on social media platforms that we allow to deploy Technologies on the Site and see for more information on how these social media platforms use your information, by visiting:

• Instagram: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875  
• Twitter:  https://twitter.com/en/privacy 
• YouTube: https://policies.google.com/privacy  

If you would like to control the use of information about you collected by Facebook from third party websites you can visit Facebook's 'Off-Facebook' privacy settings here: https://en-gb.facebook.com/off-facebook-activity  

Please note that, in limited circumstances, you may see Amyris advertisements on other sites even if you have not provided us with your consent to cookie placement. This is because we purchase advertising space on other sites based on the types of users visiting those sites. You may see an Amyris advertisement if you happen to fall within the category of users identified to be displayed the advertisement. 

 

Right of Access, Rectification, Erasure, Restriction and Portability 

In accordance with applicable law, you may have the right to: (i) request confirmation of whether we are processing your Personal Information; (ii) obtain access to or a copy of your Personal Information; (iii) receive an electronic copy of Personal Information that you have provided to us, or ask us to send that information to another company (the “right of data portability”); (iv) restrict our uses of your Personal Information; (v) seek correction or amendment of inaccurate, untrue, incomplete, or improperly processed Personal Information; and (vi) request erasure of Personal Information held about you by Amyris, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law; and (vii) withdraw your consent you have provided to our use of your Personal Information.

Right to Object 

In accordance with applicable law, where we are processing your Personal Information on the basis of our legitimate interests, you can ask us to stop processing it and we must do so unless there is an overriding legitimate reason to continue processing it or the processing is needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. 

These rights vary depending on where you reside and Amyris will make reasonable efforts to honor your request, even if your country or state does not require us to do so. If you ask us to delete or stop using your Personal Information, we may not be able to honor that request if the information is required to process your payments or returns; fulfill your order; or comply with tax, audit, regulatory requirements or other exceptions prescribed by law. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws. To protect your privacy, where necessary, Amyris will take steps to verify your identity such as requesting a copy of your government issued identification before fulfilling your request.  

To submit a request to access, correct, opt-out of sharing, or delete your Personal Information, as well as to exercise any other rights provided under the appliable laws and regulations, you may also contact us to make any requests related to your Personal Information at privacy@amyris.com.  Any consumer exercising its rights under this Privacy Policy will not be discriminated against by Amyris. 

 

California Privacy Notices 

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their Personal Information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of Personal Information disclosed to those parties.  California consumers also have the right to (i) correct or rectify inaccurate Personal Information, (ii) opt-out of the sharing of Personal Information by contacting privacy@amyris.com, or (iii) request limits on the use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Information, if any is collected.  Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, Amyris does not share Personal Information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.  Amyris does not hold Personal Information for longer than is reasonably necessary.

Our Store is not directed to individuals under the age of 13, 16, or in certain jurisdictions, under 18 (“Children” or a “Child”), and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from Children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received Personal Information from a Child, we will delete such information from our records. 

 

Links 

Our Store may contain links to other websites. A link to a third party’s website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not cover information that you submit on other websites. You access such third-party websites or content at your own risk. For example, if you share or post something on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest, the information in your post is governed by the privacy policies on those social media websites, and may be used for platform optimization and reporting to Amyris. You should always read the Privacy Policy of a third-party website before providing any information to the website.

Safeguarding Your Personal Information 

We maintain physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect information transmitted on or through our Store also by implementing adequate security measures as required by the applicable laws, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through our Store, and you do so at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.

We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and/or Transport Layer Security (TLS) or similar industry standard technology to encrypt transmissions of sensitive information from your computer to our servers. However, when you communicate with customer service via email on our website, these communications may be handled via unsecured transmissions or by third party service providers. Please be aware that information provided (such as email address, payment information, etc.) may be accessible to others. For that reason, we ask that you protect yourself and not share sensitive information via these communication channels.
