Payment providers may collect and process your payment information, billing details, device information, and fraud-prevention data according to their own privacy practices. Stripe explains that transaction-related personal data may be shared and processed as necessary to enable payments and prevent fraud.

When necessary to perform your requested service, photographs and related instructions may be processed through these service providers.

We do not authorize service providers to use your submitted photograph for unrelated advertising or to sell it on our behalf. However, each provider operates under its own terms, data-retention practices, and privacy policy.

AI-assisted recommendations are intended for personal style and educational purposes. They are not medical, dermatological, diagnostic, or professional healthcare advice.

  • Protect our rights, customers, property, or safety
  • Investigate fraud, security incidents, or policy violations
  • Complete a merger, acquisition, sale, reorganization, or transfer of business assets

We do not sell customer photographs. We do not sell personal information for money.

5Photographs, Testimonials, and Promotional Consent

We will request separate permission before using identifiable customer materials for:

  • Website examples
  • Social-media posts
  • Advertising
  • Portfolio displays
  • Before-and-after comparisons
  • Promotional emails
  • Testimonials paired with a photograph

You may withdraw permission for future promotional use by contacting us. Withdrawal may not require us to recall printed materials or remove content that was lawfully distributed before we received your request, but we will make reasonable efforts to discontinue future use.

6Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technology to:

  • Remember visitor preferences
  • Maintain website functionality
  • Understand website traffic
  • Evaluate marketing performance
  • Improve navigation and content
  • Detect security or performance issues

You can usually manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website features.

If third-party analytics, advertising, or social-media tools are added to the website, those providers may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

7Email Communications

We may send emails concerning:

  • Order confirmations
  • Payment receipts
  • Photo-submission instructions

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Complete and deliver your order
  • Provide revisions and customer support
  • Maintain required financial, tax, and business records
  • Resolve disputes

  • Comply with applicable law

Customer photographs and completed Beauty Guides may be retained for a reasonable period so that we can complete revisions, replace a lost file, or answer questions.

You may request deletion of your photograph or personalized files by contacting us. Certain transaction, tax, fraud-prevention, backup, or legal records may need to be retained even after a deletion request.

The FTC advises businesses to collect only the information they need, protect what they retain, and securely dispose of information that is no longer required.

9Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, email system, cloud platform, payment method, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary email unless specifically requested and appropriately protected.

Kansas law includes requirements relating to the protection of certain consumer information and security-breach notifications.

Some website, payment, cloud-storage, design, email, or AI service providers may process or store information in locations outside your home state or country.

By using our services and submitting information, you understand that information may be transferred and processed in other jurisdictions, subject to the service provider's safeguards and applicable law.

15Business Transfers

If Lauren B. Color Studio is sold, merged, reorganized, or transferred, customer information may be included among the transferred business assets.

Any successor would remain subject to applicable legal obligations concerning that information.
