You should carefully review this privacy policy before using this website or services provided through this website. This privacy policy applies only to information collected through this website and not to any information collected from us or through us offline.

If your Personal Information is being collected by a company other than Beiersdorf, you will be so notified at the time that the process for the collection of that Personal Information is initiated.

Beiersdorf collects two different types of information: general demographic information and personal identifiable information. Beiersdorf uses certain technologies described in Section 7 below to collect non-identifiable information about you.

Personal Information may include, without limitation: your name, age, mailing address, email address, telephone number, information concerning your interests, occupation, product uses and preferences, and other demographic information that could help identify you. If you have set up an account that is password protected or for any other purpose for which a password is needed, that password is also part of your Personal Information.

For some activities, your web browser or client software may transmit certain geographic information or information regarding your computer to Beiersdorf.  Beiersdorf may use that information to generate aggregate statistics about our user community and may provide that information to advertisers and other parties with whom Beiersdorf has a business relationship. In addition, Beiersdorf may use any such information for security, system integrity (the prevention of hacking and other improper or unlawful activities), or enforcement purposes.

Beiersdorf may also identify and track your Internet protocol (“IP”) address. An IP address is the unique number assigned to your server or internet service provider (“ISP”).   Beiersdorf may track those IP addresses for system administration purposes, to report aggregate information, site tracking, security purposes, or to prevent our data and servers from being damaged.

It allows a website to transfer bits of information to your computer for record-keeping purposes. A cookie stored in your computer can be used to “remember” specific data items such as your password or operational information, such as the fact that you have already subscribed to the full version of a particular online game.

In addition, Beiersdorf may use cookies to retrieve user information for promotional, marketing, or security purposes.
