Privacy Policy

www.DermSilk.com. cares about keeping its user’s information secure and protected. When you use our website, we keep your information secure and protected. This policy is intended to inform users of how we collect, use, share, protect, and secure your information.

Please note, that it is your responsibility to read, understand, and comply with policies and provisions contained herein.

Please note, we reserve the right to unilaterally modify, amend, revise, supplement, rescind, curtail, reduce, or eliminate any information contained in the privacy policy without notice. 

We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect our customers’ personal information. When we collect sensitive information (such as payment details), we meet or exceed the industry standards for safeguarding the data. Although we do everything in our power to protect you, even the most robust systems do not guarantee protection from malicious outside sources. It is the cardholder’s responsibility to protect their information against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

 

Your privacy is important to us, so we have gone to great lengths to ensure that the security of any information you enter on our site is completely protected. To make this a possibility, we employ an SSL connection, also known as a Secure Sockets Layer. SSL is the industry standard protocol for guaranteeing a secure connection between computers performing transactions over the internet.

How We Collect Information

We review web metrics about your time spent on DermSilk including how you are shopping, what pages you visit, how long you spend there, and the performance of our marketing efforts.

When possible, we may also link your various devices so that you can see cross-platform content with the same, tailored experience. This gives us the opportunity to deliver more relevant information to you. You may see ads across your platforms, customized in a way so as not to market a product that you have already purchased. For example, if you purchase a product on our website using your desktop, we are able to avoid showing you an advertisement on the same product on your tablet. Instead, we may show you an ad on your tablet for complimentary products to the one you just purchased on our website. We also use technologies to measure the success of these ads.
