Our vendors and independent contractors provide such services as: data storage, analytics, billing, marketing, product content and features, customer service, data storage, security, fraud prevention, and legal services.

Online Analytics and Tailored Advertising
Online Analytics:
The Services may use third-party web analytics services, such as those of Google Analytics. These vendors use the sort of technology described in the “Personal information you automatically provide when you use the Services” section above to help us analyze how you use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by this technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these vendors, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. The Services also uses Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Tailored Advertising:
The Services also makes use of third-party advertising technologies to place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services in order to (a) inform, optimize, and serve marketing content based on past visits to our websites and other sites and (b) report how marketing content impressions and interactions with these marketing impressions are related to visits to our websites. The Services also allows other unaffiliated parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics) to serve tailored marketing to you and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising, as described below. You may receive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser. Cookies may be associated with de-identified data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to the Services (e.g., your email address) that may be disclosed to a vendor in hashed, non-human-readable form.
If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored marketing, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) Consumer Opt-Out Link, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Consumer Opt-Out Link, and/or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. To opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertising content even if you opt out of tailored advertising. In that case, the advertising content may not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. If your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out pages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your opt-out may no longer be effective.

Residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom
BeccaSomething is considered the “data controller” of the personal data we handle under this Privacy Policy. In other words, we are responsible for deciding how to collect, use and disclose this data, subject to applicable law. The laws of some jurisdictions such as the laws of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom require data controllers to tell you about the legal grounds they rely on for using or disclosing of your Personal Information. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:
- Contractual Necessity: We may use or disclose Personal Information to honor our contractual commitments to you. For example, we will process your Personal Information to comply with our agreements with you, and to honor our commitments in any contracts that we have with you.

You may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us regarding the processing of your Personal Information, at any time and free of charge. We will apply your preferences going forward and this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that occurred before you withdrew your consent.
- Legitimate Interests: In many cases, we use or disclose Personal Information on the grounds that it furthers our legitimate business interests in ways that are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected individuals, such as in connection with providing customer service, offering or providing certain promotional activities, analyzing and improving our business, providing security for the Services, preventing fraud, and managing legal issues.
- Legal Compliance: We need to use and disclose Personal Information in certain ways to comply with our legal obligations, such as to comply with tax and accounting obligations.
Residents of California
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”) may require us to provide additional information to California residents. This section only applies to you if you are a California resident, and only to the extent we are subject to the requirements of the CCPA. In this section, where we use a term in “quotes,” that term shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the CCPA.
Categories of Personal Information we collect:
Section 1 of this Privacy Policy describes the information we collect from and about you, Section 2 of this Privacy Policy describes the purposes for which we use such information, and Section 3 of this Privacy Policy describes when and to whom we disclose such information. The CCPA requires us to list the Personal Information we collect by category along with the purposes of its use and the unaffiliated parties to which it is disclosed.
| Categories of information (see Section 1 above for more information) | Purpose of use | Categories of other parties to whom we disclose the information for business and operational purposes (see Section 3 above for more information) |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers such as name, email address, and personal information described in California Civil Code Section 1798.80 |
|

|
| Financial information such as credit card or other payment information stored by our payment processors on our behalf |
|
|
| Commercial information such as information about your transactions with us, for example, products or services you have purchased | All the same purposes for which we may use Identifiers (see above) |

We also collect “sensitive personal information,” as that term is defined in the CCPA. We collect the following category of “sensitive personal information”: account log-in and password or other credentials in connection with creating your account to access the Services.
We collect the categories of Personal Information identified above from the following sources: (1) directly from you; (2) through your use of the Services; (3) from affiliates or vendors or service providers; and (4) from other parties such as marketers and other users.
Notice of financial incentives:
We may provide certain incentives, such as discounts for referrals. You can opt into the incentives by providing us with the information requested or as otherwise described in the Services. We collect Personal Information as described in the incentive, such as your email address. Your participation in any incentive is completely voluntary, and you have a right to withdraw from such incentive at any time. If you decide you don’t want to participate in an incentive, you can refrain from taking the requested actions.
The specific reward or incentive offered, if any, will be made available to you on the Services. The monetary value of the reward or incentive is a reasonable approximation of the monetary value of the Personal Information to us in connection with participating in the incentive. We arrived at this conclusion based on consideration of multiple factors, including the following: (1) the revenue we generate from referrals; and (2) the expenses we incur in operating the incentive program.
Your CCPA rights:
If you are a California resident, then to the extent the requirements of the CCPA apply to our collection of your Personal Information, the CCPA may permit you to request that we:
- Provide you the categories of Personal Information we have collected or disclosed about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, “selling,” or “sharing” your personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose or “sell,” or with whom we “share,” personal information; and the categories of personal information we “sell.”
- Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
- Delete certain information we have about you.
- Correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
You also have the right to opt out of “sales” and “sharing” of personal information, as described below. You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. We need certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete such information, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.
The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.
If would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request to us at contact@support.beccasomething.com or contact us at this toll-free number: 1-833-484-9255. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request, and we may request additional information from you in order to do this.

To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
“Sale” and “sharing” of personal information:
The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” or “share” personal information.

Under the CCPA, disclosing personal information to these third parties may be considered a “sale” of personal information or the “sharing” of personal information for purposes of “cross-context behavioral advertising.”
