We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing or commercial purposes. The sharing described above is operational — it is limited to what is necessary to provide you with the products and services you have purchased.
6.2 Sharing for Advertising — CCPA "Sharing"
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), sharing personal information with advertising platforms like Meta for the purpose of cross-context behavioural advertising is classified as "sharing" even if no money changes hands. We engage in this activity through the Meta Pixel, which may transmit certain identifiers to Meta when you visit our website. California residents have the right to opt out of this sharing. See Section 9 for how to exercise this right.
6.3 Business Transfers
If Derma Renewal Lab undergoes a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or restructuring, your personal information may be transferred to a successor entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you by email and by a notice on our website before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6.4 Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal information to government authorities, regulators, courts, or law enforcement agencies where we are required to do so by law or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of our customers or the public.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
7.1 What We Use
We use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies on our website. These are small files or code snippets placed on your device that allow us and our third-party partners to recognise your browser and capture certain information about your visit.
7.2 Categories of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Can You Opt Out? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for the website to function — shopping cart, account login, checkout, fraud prevention. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site. | No |
| Functional | Remember your preferences, language settings, and previously viewed products to improve your experience. | Yes |
| Analytics | Measure how visitors use our website (page views, session length, referral source). Used by Google Analytics. Data is anonymised or pseudonymised. | Yes |
| Advertising / Marketing | Track conversions and behaviour to show you relevant ads on third-party platforms (Meta, Google). Includes the Meta Pixel. | Yes |
7.3 Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will allow you to accept or reject non-essential cookie categories. You can update your preferences at any time through the cookie settings link in our website footer.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be alerted when new cookies are set. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly.
7.4 Meta Pixel
We use the Meta Pixel on our website. This is a piece of code provided by Meta Platforms Inc. that allows us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram advertising by tracking actions taken on our website (such as page views, add-to-cart events, and purchases). The Meta Pixel may share certain technical identifiers — including your IP address and browser information — with Meta when you visit our website, even if you do not have a Facebook or Instagram account.
You can opt out of Meta's use of this data for advertising through:
- Your cookie preferences on our website (reject advertising cookies)
- Meta's Privacy Center and ad preferences controls
- The Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool at optout.aboutads.info
- California residents: the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on our website (see Section 9)
7.5 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects anonymised data about your session and behaviour on our site. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
8. Email Marketing and CAN-SPAM
Derma Renewal Lab complies with the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.) for all commercial email communications. Our marketing email practices:
- We do not use false or misleading header information
- We do not use deceptive subject lines
- We identify every commercial email as an advertisement where required
- Our physical mailing address is included in every commercial email
- Every commercial email contains a clear, working unsubscribe mechanism
- We honour opt-out requests promptly — within ten (10) business days of receipt
We use Klaviyo Inc. to send both transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping updates, subscription reminders) and marketing emails (promotions, new products, educational content). Klaviyo processes your email address and engagement data on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
To unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time:
- Click the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or
- Email support@dermarenewallab.com with the subject line "UNSUBSCRIBE"
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not affect transactional emails that are necessary to fulfil your orders, manage your subscription, or communicate security-relevant account information.
9. California Residents — Your CCPA Rights
9.1 Your Rights
Right to Know
You have the right to request disclosure of: the categories of personal information we collect; the purposes for which it is used; the categories of third parties with whom it is shared; and, upon verified request, the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you.
Right to Delete
You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions — for example, we must retain records required by law and records necessary to fulfil outstanding orders or resolve disputes.
Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you, taking into account the nature of the data and the purposes for which it is processed.
Right to Opt Out of Sale / Sharing
You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We share data with Meta for advertising purposes via the Meta Pixel. Use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on our website or contact us directly.

If we collect sensitive personal information (as defined under CPRA), you have the right to limit its use to purposes strictly necessary to provide the service. We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary for order fulfilment.
Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised a privacy right.
9.2 CCPA Categories of Personal Information We Collect
The following table summarises the CCPA categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for which we collect it, and whether it is shared for advertising:
| CCPA Category | Examples | Collected | Shared for Advertising |

To exercise any of your CCPA rights, contact us at support@dermarenewallab.com with the subject line "CCPA Privacy Request" and specify the right you wish to exercise. We will:
- Acknowledge your request within ten (10) business days

- Provide our response free of charge for requests made up to twice per 12-month period
You may also designate an authorised agent to submit requests on your behalf. Authorised agent requests must be accompanied by written authorisation signed by you, or a power of attorney.
9.4 Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
To opt out of the sharing of your personal information with Meta for cross-context behavioural advertising, use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer of our website, or email support@dermarenewallab.com with that subject line. We will implement your opt-out by disabling advertising cookies for your session and suppressing your data from being passed to advertising platforms going forward.
Note: opting out of advertising data sharing does not affect transactional data sharing necessary to fulfil your orders (e.g., sharing your address with a shipping carrier).
10. Residents of Other States
A growing number of US states have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant residents rights similar to those described in Section 9 for California residents. These include:
- Virginia — Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA)
- Colorado — Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)
- Connecticut — Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA)
- Texas — Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA)
- Other states — Privacy law is evolving rapidly at the state level across the US
If you are a resident of any state with an applicable consumer privacy law and wish to exercise rights under that law — including rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of targeted advertising — please contact us at support@dermarenewallab.com with the subject line "State Privacy Request" and identify your state. We will assess and respond to your request in accordance with the law applicable to your state of residence.
11. Children's Privacy
Our website, products, and services are not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.). If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as practicable.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at support@dermarenewallab.com with the subject line "Child Privacy" and we will take prompt action to delete the data.
12. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- SSL/TLS encryption across all pages of our website
- PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment processing through Shopify Payments — full card details are never stored on our systems
- Access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel can access customer data, limited to what is necessary for their role
- Regular security assessments of our website and third-party providers
- Strong password requirements for customer accounts
No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we take commercially reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.
In the event of a data breach that creates a risk to your personal information, we will notify affected individuals in accordance with applicable state breach notification laws, which typically require notification within thirty (30) to sixty (60) days depending on the state.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Order and transaction records | 7 years from order date | US federal and state tax law requirements |
| Subscription and billing records | 7 years from last transaction | Tax law, dispute resolution |
| Customer account data | Until account closure, plus 1 year | Operational continuity, dispute resolution |
| Marketing email list | Until unsubscribe, or 3 years of inactivity | CAN-SPAM compliance, relevance |
| Customer support correspondence | 3 years from last contact | Dispute resolution, service improvement |
| Returns and refund records | 7 years | Tax law, dispute resolution |
| Chargeback and dispute evidence | 7 years from dispute resolution | Legal protection, regulatory compliance |
| Google Analytics data | 26 months (Google's default) | Analytics usage |
| Advertising cookie data | As set per cookie category (typically 90–180 days) | Ad campaign measurement |
After the applicable retention period, we will either securely delete your personal information or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you. Anonymised data may be retained for longer periods for aggregate analytics purposes.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, technology, applicable law, or business operations. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent version was published.
Where changes are material — for example, a change to what data we collect, a new category of third-party sharing, or a change to your rights — we will notify you by email at the address on your account at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the change takes effect, and will post a prominent notice on our website.
For non-material changes (typographical corrections, clarifications that do not affect your rights, updated contact details), we may update the Policy without advance notice. Continued use of our website or services after an updated Policy is posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
