To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we use your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

DermaQuest is based in the United States, and the personal information that we collect and process is retained and stored in the United States. DermaQuest uses service providers that store personal information on our behalf in the United States and in other countries where you may not be a resident. Please be aware that the United States, and these other countries, may not provide the same level of protection of personal information as in your country, state, or other jurisdiction of residence or nationality, and when transferred to the United States or elsewhere, your personal information may be accessible by, or otherwise made available to, local government authorities and officials pursuant to judicial and/or administrative orders, decrees, and demands, and/or other domestic laws, statutes, and regulations. DermaQuest does not participate in the U.S. Data Protection Framework. By continuing to provide us such information, you hereby acknowledge and agree that your personal information will be transferred to, and stored in, the United States and in the countries where our service providers are located.
How We Protect And Store Your Information
We are committed to making sure your privacy is protected when you use our Website and when we collect information from you. We take the security of your information seriously, and implement a variety of security measures to maintain safety of all Personal Information you provide. We also make sure that third parties we use to process your Personal Information also use appropriate security measures to protect your data.
When we collect sensitive information like your credit card information, financials, etc., that information is encrypted and securely transmitted. For example, we use a secure server for transmitting sensitive information. All supplied sensitive/credit card information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. You can verify that this sensitive information is being transmitted securely by looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
After a transaction is completed, your sensitive information (e.g., credit card information) will not be stored on our servers.
The safety and security of your information also depend on you. We urge you to be careful about entering information on public computers or on public networks.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to or stored on our Website.
Your Responsibilities
You are permitted, and hereby agree, to only provide personal information to DermaQuest if such personal information is accurate, reliable, and relevant to our relationship and only to the extent such disclosure will not violate any applicable data protection law, statute, or regulation or infringe upon a person’s data privacy rights or privileges. If you provide personal information (including personal information concerning a third party) to DermaQuest, you expressly represent and warrant to DermaQuest that you have the full right and authority to provide DermaQuest with such personal information (including personal information concerning a third party) and that DermaQuest’s use and processing of such personal information as set forth herein will not violate any person’s rights or privileges, including rights to privacy. You hereby agree to fully and completely indemnify DermaQuest for any claims, harm, or damages that may arise from your provision of personal information (including personal information concerning a third party) to DermaQuest.
Do Not Track (DNT) Signals
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the website with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. Unless otherwise required by law, we currently do not take action in response to these signals.
Persons with Disabilities
DermaQuest strives to ensure that every person has access to information related to our Services, including this Privacy Policy. Please contact us if you would like this Privacy Policy provided in an alternative format, and we will seek to meet your needs.
Rewards Programs and Financial Incentives
We collect and use personal information, including personal information provided by a third party (e.g., refer-a-friend program), to administer and maintain our financial incentive, rewards, and loyalty programs (“Rewards Programs”). We use the personal information you provide in these programs to verify your identity, offer unique rewards, track your program status, and facilitate the exchange of program points for products, promotional materials, training workshops, and other items. If you consent to participate in any of our Rewards Programs, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below or in accordance with the instructions set forth in the applicable Rewards Program’s terms and conditions. DermaQuest may use personal information gathered from, or related to, participants in our Rewards Programs for any other purpose or in any other manner set forth in this Privacy Policy.
California Rewards Program Rights.Pursuant to the CCPA, you may be entitled to be informed as to why financial incentive programs, or price or service differences, are permitted under the law, including (i) a good-faith estimate of the value of your personal information that forms the basis for offering the financial incentive or price or service difference, and (ii) a description of the method we used to calculate the value of your personal information. Generally, we do not assign monetary or other value to personal information. However, in the event we are required by law to assign such value in the context of Rewards Programs, or price or service differences, we have valued the personal information collected and used as being equal to the value of the discount or financial incentive provided, and the calculation of the value is based upon a practical and good-faith effort often involving (i) the categories of personal information collected (e.g., names, email addresses), (ii) the transferability of such personal information for us and our Rewards Programs, (iii) the discounted price offered, (iv) the volume of consumers enrolled in our Rewards Programs, and (v) the product or service to which the Rewards Programs, or price or service differences, apply. The disclosure of the value described herein is not intended to waive, nor should it be interpreted as a waiver to, our proprietary or business confidential information, including trade secrets, and does not constitute any representation with regard to generally accepted accounting principles or financial accounting standards.
Events and Video Teleconferencing
DermaQuest uses web-based conferencing platforms and applications (each a “Conference Platform”) for the purpose of hosting or conducting video and audio meetings and conferences, webinars and similar training exercises, social events, and other types of video and audio meetings (collectively, “Conferences”). We often use Conference Platforms that are owned and administered by a third-party service provider (e.g., Google, Zoom, WebEx, Skype for Business). The type of personal data processed by DermaQuest via a Conference Platform depends on the scope and nature of the Conference, and may include your identity data, registration data, transaction data, technical data, and other information furnished to DermaQuest during the Conferences. Please note that DermaQuest, and our third-party service providers and partners, may record our Conferences, including the content of communications and activities that occur therein, and DermaQuest may use and disclose such content, information and data for our own business purposes. By participating in a Conference, you hereby consent to such recording, use, and disclosures. Please ensure data and privacy protection in the background of your Conference (e.g., by notifying bystanders of the Conference, using the background masking function), where technically feasible. You may not furnish an access code or a link to a Conference without permission from DermaQuest. Please see the privacy statement for Microsoft Teams for a description of its Conference Platform privacy practices.

European/UK Privacy Rights
Data Privacy Rights. For individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, you are entitled to the following privacy rights:
- Right to Know. You may have the right to know about what personal information DermaQuest collects and processes about you, including the types of personal information we collect and process, the sources of such personal information, our retention criteria, with whom we share your personal information, cross-border data transfers, and how to file complaints and inquiries.
- Access Rights. You may have the right to ask us whether we process any of your personal information and, if so, receive access to such personal information. When complying with an access request, we will also provide you with additional information, such as the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal information concerned as well as any other information necessary for you to exercise the essence of this right.
- Rectification. You may have the right to have your personal information corrected/rectified in case of inaccuracy or incompleteness. Upon request, we will correct inaccurate personal information about you and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, update any incomplete personal information, which may include the provision of a supplementary statement.
- Erasure. You may have the right to have your personal information erased, which means the deletion of your personal information by us. However, your right to erasure is subject to statutory limits and prerequisites (e.g., where your personal information is no longer necessary in relation to the initial purposes for which it was processed, your personal information was processed unlawfully).
- Restriction of Processing. You may have the right to obtain the restriction of the processing of your personal information, which means that we suspend the processing of your personal information for a certain period of time.

- Right to Object. You may have the right to object to the processing of your personal information, which means you may request we no longer process your personal information. This only applies in case the “legitimate interests” ground (including profiling) constitutes the legal basis for processing (see below “Legal Basis for Processing”). However, at any time (and free of charge) you can object to having your personal information processed for direct marketing purposes.
- Automated Decision Making. You may have the right to object to having us use your personal information to conduct automated decision making. However, DermaQuest does not engage in any activity that subjects our customers, website users, survey participants, or others to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects, or similarly significant results, impacting them.
- Withdrawing Consent. You also may withdraw your consent at any time if we are solely relying on your consent for the processing of your personal information. However, this will not impact our legal basis to process such personal information prior to the withdrawal of your consent.
Submit a Privacy Request. To submit these abovementioned privacy requests, please contact us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section below. You may designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf.
Privacy Request Verification Process. If you make any request related to your personal information, the DermaQuest will ascertain your identity (and the identity of the authorized agent, to the extent applicable) to the degree of certainty required or permitted under the law before addressing your request. In particular, before granting you access to, erasing, or correcting, specific pieces or categories of personal information or otherwise responding to your request, the DermaQuest will, to the extent required or permitted by law, (i) require you (or your authorized agent) to verify your request via email, (ii) request certain contact information or government identifiers, and (iii) match at least two pieces of such personal information with data that we have previously collected from you. None of your privacy rights are absolute, and such rights are subject to exceptions and exemptions.
Legal Basis for Processing. For purposes of the EU/UK GDPR, we can collect and process your data under one of the following legal bases:
- Consent. We can collect and process your data with your consent. For example, if you have given your consent to receive marketing material from us at the point we collected your information.
- Contractual Obligations. We need your personal information to comply with our contractual obligations. For example, if you have subscribed to one of our services, we use your personal information to fulfill, and deliver that service to you.
- Legal Compliance. If the law requires us to, we may need to collect and process your data.
- Legitimate interest. We may use your data as required in the normal course of operating our businesses and services unless our legitimate interests are overridden by your rights.
- Vital interests. We may need to process your personal information if the processing is necessary to protect your vital interests (for example, health and safety reasons if you attend a meeting at a DermaQuest location).
Complaints. Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to submit a complaint to a data protection authority responsible for overseeing our compliance with data protection law in your jurisdiction. Please see a list of potentially applicable regulatory authorities:
- For data protection authorities in the EU, please see here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en.
- For the data protection authority in Switzerland, please contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html).
- For the data protection authority in the UK, please contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (www.ico.org.uk).
We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns, so please feel free to contact us regarding any complaint you may have. We will not discriminate against individuals for exercising their data privacy rights or filing a privacy complaint.
