BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We use advertising and analytics technologies—including pixels, cookies, and similar tracking tools to deliver interest-based advertising and to analyze site performance. These technologies may collect data about your browsing activity across websites and over time. The following third-party advertising partners deploy tracking technologies on our site: Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook/Instagram Pixel); Google LLC (Google Ads, Google DoubleClick/DV360, Google AdSense, YouTube). In addition, Google’s advertising tags may set cookies from third-party partner networks through automated cookie syncing processes. For example, a cookie associated with LinkedIn (BizoID) may appear on our site as a byproduct of Google’s programmatic advertising infrastructure, not as a result of any direct integration or advertising relationship between House of Lashes and LinkedIn. Under California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (Cal. Pen. Code §§630–638.55), and similar laws in other states, the use of certain tracking technologies may require prior consent. By visiting our website, you consent to the use of these technologies as described in this policy. You may opt out of interest-based advertising through our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page or by adjusting your cookie preferences.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS (CCPA/CPRA)
This section applies to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, "CCPA/CPRA"). Capitalized terms used in this section have the meanings given in the CCPA/CPRA. If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:
A. Right to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose: the categories of personal information we have collected about you; the categories of sources from which personal information was collected; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose personal information; and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. To exercise this right, please submit a request at houseoflashes.com/pages/your-privacy-choices or email info@houseoflashes.com. We will respond within 45 days.
B. Right to Delete. You have the right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. To exercise this right, submit a request at houseoflashes.com/pages/your-privacy-choices.
C. Right to Correct. You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you. To exercise this right, submit a request at houseoflashes.com/pages/your-privacy-choices.
D. Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing. You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise this right, visit houseoflashes.com/pages/data-sharing-opt-out or enable the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser. We will process GPC signals as opt-out requests.
E. Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. To the extent we collect sensitive personal information, you have the right to direct us to limit its use and disclosure to purposes permitted under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise this right, visit houseoflashes.com/pages/your-privacy-choices.
F. Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA/CPRA. We will not deny goods or services, charge different prices, or provide a different quality of goods or services as a result of your exercise of privacy rights.
G. Authorized Agent. You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. We may require written proof of the agent's authority and may verify your identity directly before processing the request.
H. Notice of Financial Incentives. We may offer promotional discounts on purchases in exchange for providing your email address and opting into our marketing communications. The value of personal information collected through this program is reasonably related to the value of the promotional discount provided, based on the anticipated marketing value of email subscriber relationships to our business. To opt in, enter your email address when prompted on our website. You may withdraw at any time by unsubscribing via the link in any marketing email or by contacting info@houseoflashes.com. Withdrawal does not affect any discount already received. We also operate the House of Lashes Rewards loyalty program. Customers may join Rewards by first creating an account and then separately opting in on our Rewards page, agreeing to the program terms and selecting “Join.” Members earn points based on annual spending tier: Primary (5 points per $1 spent, no minimum), Premium (8 points per $1 spent, unlocked at $150 in annual purchases), and VIP (10 points per $1 spent, unlocked at $300 in annual purchases). Points may be redeemed for percentage-off discounts on future orders: 50 points for 5% off, 100 points for 10% off, 150 points for 15% off, and 200 points for 20% off. Because these rewards are structured as percentage-off discounts that scale with order size rather than a fixed dollar amount, we calculate the value of the personal information collected through this program using our trailing 12-month average order value, which results in each point being valued at approximately $0.042. Points expire after 12 months of account inactivity and may be forfeited on returned purchases. You may withdraw from the Rewards program at any time by unsubscribing from Rewards program emails and contacting us at info@houseoflashes.com to request deletion of your Rewards profile. Withdrawal does not affect any discount already redeemed.
We will verify your identity before processing requests. We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days. If we need additional time, we will notify you of the extension and the reason for it.
