Peach Privacy Policy


LAST UPDATED: November 16, 2016

Peach Underneath, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "Peach", "we", "us", or "our") want your experience with us to be nothing short of fabulous. We respect the privacy of our stylists, customers and those who use our services. To this end, we have systems in place for securely managing your Personal Information. We created this Privacy Policy to help you understand the types of information we collect, how we use and disclose it, your options related to it, and our responsibilities in safeguarding it.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Use. All capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning set forth in the Terms of Use.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Site, and it also applies to the collection of your Personal Information from offline sources as described in this Privacy Policy.

"Personal Information" means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number.


COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

We collect Personal Information when you:

  • register on the Site, place an order, or provide contact information to a stylist;
  • register as a stylist or express interest in becoming a stylist;
  • use the Site; and
  • communicate with us.

We also collect information, such as anonymous usage statistics, by using cookies, server logs, and other similar technology as you use the Site.

You do not need to provide Personal Information to visit the Site. All Personal Information gathered is on a voluntary basis. If you decide to provide us with your Personal Information, we may store it through whatever means you provided such information (through our Site, a stylist, via email or facsimile, etc.). By using the Site, submitting a customer order form to a stylist, or submitting a new stylist agreement to us, you also authorize us to gather, parse, retain, use, and disclose information to provide our services as described in this Privacy Policy, unless we are notified otherwise.

Customer Online Registration. To register as a customer on the Site, you may need to provide Personal Information, such as your name, email address, and password. You may also provide other optional information, such as your month and day of birth.

Customer Information from Stylists. Customers may complete and sign a customer order form at a Sales Event (Gathering, Design Session or Social) and provide it to a stylist. The stylist will submit the information to us through the Site so that we may process your order. Customers may also provide their contact information to stylists without making a purchase, and stylists may save such information in their contact lists on the Site. All stylists must abide by this Privacy Policy and must not share information except in connection with their Peach brand business.

Stylist Registration. To register as a stylist on our Site, you may need to provide Personal Information, such as your name, social security number, tax identification number, date of birth, email address, telephone number, postal address, and password. You may also provide other information, such as your photograph and information in your completed and digitally signed online stylist agreement. Upon the termination of the relationship between Peach and the stylist, Peach will keep the stylist’s Personal Information for lawful purposes only.

Expressing Interest in Becoming a Stylist. We collect any Personal Information included in requests to learn more about being a stylist or hostess. Such information may be submitted to us through the Site or via email. You may also provide Personal Information directly to a Peach stylist.

Using the Site. We collect information you post through the Site. For example, when customers sign up for a newsletter, post a photograph, or connect with a stylist, the Site will collect the information customers or stylists provide in such submissions, including any Personal Information.

Making Payments. When you make payments through the Site or complete a customer order form, your financial account information, such as your credit card number, will be collected by our third-party payment processors. We do not collect or store such financial account information, but we may receive information from our payment processor about the payment, such as the date and time of payment.

Social Plug-Ins. The Site may allow you to use social media plug-ins, such as Facebook’s "like" or Twitter’s "tweet" functions. The social media plug-ins collect information about you, such as your IP address, when you use them. The privacy policies of the social media services, and not this Privacy Policy, apply to any data collected by the social media plug-ins.

Social Media Pages. We may collect information about you when you visit our social media pages or other features. The social media website provider may provide us with information, including Personal Information, such as your name, email address, and other information made available to us.

Customer Support. We may collect Personal Information through your communications with our customer-support team.

The service providers also may collect information about your online activities over time and on other websites or apps.

We strive to take reasonable and appropriate steps, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the Personal Information, to help protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction and that it is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
