HOW SPECTRAGENICS
INC. USES INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
We
use information we have collected about you to
provide you with the very best health and beauty
news, products and services, and shopping
experience. We do not sell your personal
information to third parties for any reason. We
do not disclose your personal information to
unaffiliated third parties who may want to offer
you their own products and services unless you
have requested or authorized us to do
so.
We may share your personal
information with third parties or affiliates of
SpectraGenics Inc. where it is necessary for us
to complete a transaction or do something you
have asked us to do.
We may share your
personal information to third parties or
affiliates of SpectraGenics Inc. with whom we
have contracted to perform services on our
behalf. All companies that act on our behalf are
contractually obligated to keep the personal
information we provide to them confidential and
to use the personal information we share only to
provide the services we ask them to
perform.
We may disclose personal
information about our customers as permitted or
required by law, such as in connection with a
subpoena or similar legal process, or in
connection with a merger, acquisition, or
bankruptcy, as discussed further
below.
We try to provide you with the
information you need to make informed,
reasonable choices with respect to how
triabeauty.com uses or shares your information.
SpectraGenics Inc. collects and uses personal
information from you in several
ways:
WEBSITE
USAGE
SpectraGenics Inc. or its
authorized service providers may observe
activities, preferences and transactional data
(such as your IP address, browser type and
operating system) relating to your use of
triabeauty.com. We may use this collected or
logged information in order to provide better
service, to facilitate our customers' use of the
website, to track usage of the website, and to
address security hazards. SpectraGenics Inc., or
its authorized service providers, may use this
information to track aggregate traffic patterns
throughout triabeauty.com. We may use
aggregated, statistical information to describe
our customer audience, products, and services,
and to develop partnerships with third parties
to offer products and services in which we
believe our customers will be
interested.
ONLINE
TRANSACTIONS
We collect information
about you when you use our website. To open an
account with us, you will need to provide us
with certain information, including your name,
address, phone number, and e-mail address. If
necessary, we will assist you in creating a user
ID and a password to protect your account
information. At this time, when you request to
purchase items in your shopping cart, we will
forward your request and basic account
information to the e-commerce service provider.
When you provide personal financial and other
personally identifiable information to the
service providers featured through
triabeauty.com, the sales transaction will occur
on the service provider's site and not on
triabeauty.com. As such, the financial and
personally identifiable information you provide
in placing your order is controlled by that
service provider.
OUR SECURITY
PRACTICES
Our internal data security
policies restrict access to customers' personal
information to authorized employees. Authorized
employees may use our customers' personal
information for SpectraGenics Inc. business
purposes only. Our employees are bound by
SpectraGenics Inc. policies that require them to
maintain the confidentiality of our customers'
personal information. Employees who violate
these requirements are subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including
termination.
We maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards that are
designed to guard our customers' personal
information. For example, for the security of
your online visit to triabeauty.com, we may make
use of firewall barriers, encryption techniques,
and/or authentication procedures. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal
information, SpectraGenics Inc. cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
In the event of a breach of the confidentiality
or security of your personal information, we
will notify you as necessary so you can take
appropriate protective steps. Unless you
indicate otherwise, we may notify you under such
circumstances using the e-mail address you
provided to us when you registered with
triabeauty.com.
WHAT ARE COOKIES
AND HOW DOES TRIABEAUTY.COM USE
THEM?
We may use cookies to collect
or log certain information. A cookie is a small
piece of information that a website stores on a
personal computer and which it can later
retrieve. We may use cookies for some
administrative purposes, for example, to store
our customers' preferences for certain kinds of
products or to store a password so that you do
not have to input it every time you visit our
website. The cookies will not contain
information that will enable anyone to contact
our customers via telephone, email, or any other
means. If our customers are uncomfortable with
the use of cookie technology, they can set their
browsers to refuse cookies. Certain services,
however, could be dependent on cookies and our
customers may disable those services by refusing
cookies.

in the United States and is intended for U.S.

This Privacy and Security
Policy applies to customer relationships
established in the United States. Parts of this

every website, triabeauty.com may be accessed by
an international audience. If you are a non-U.S.

bankruptcy or merge with another company, or if
SpectraGenics Inc. should decide to buy another
business, or sell or reorganize part or all of
SpectraGenics Inc.'s business, SpectraGenics
Inc. may be required to disclose your personal
information to prospective or actual purchasers
and other parties. It is SpectraGenics Inc.'s
practice to obtain appropriate protections for
information disclosed in these types of
transactions. SpectraGenics Inc. cannot,
however, guarantee that SpectraGenics Inc.'s
Privacy and Security Policy will remain
unchanged if SpectraGenics Inc. is sold or
merges with another
company.

eligible to use triabeauty.com. We ask that
minors (under the age of 18) only use

Inc. If a child under 13 submits information
through any part of triabeauty.com, and
SpectraGenics Inc. becomes aware that the person
submitting the information is a child, we will
attempt to delete this information as soon as
possible. Because we do not knowingly collect
any personal information about children under
13, we do not use or disclose such information
to third parties.

should be careful to maintain the secrecy of
your passwords and/or account information and be
