Elixseri Privacy and Cookie Policy

Elixseri Privacy and Cookie Policy

Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. We appreciate the trust you place in us and we will work to ensure that we act in trustworthy and honest way. This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal information we collect and how we use, disclose and protect that information. The Privacy Policy applies to the information collected by ELIXSERI (Elix Beauty) via the website as well as through our customer service, direct marketing activities, social media, employment applications and branded pages on 3rd party websites.

This Privacy Policy also applies to targeted ELIXSERI content, including offers and advertisements for ELIXSERI products, which we may send to you on third party websites, platforms and applications (“Third Party Sites”) based on your Site Usage Information (as defined below).  These Third Party Sites may have their own privacy policies and terms and conditions. We encourage you to read them before using those Third Party Sites.

This Privacy Notice is hereby incorporated into and forms part of the Terms and Conditions of use of the applicable ELIXSERI Website.

Your Consent

By using an ELIXSERI Site, you are consenting to us collecting, using and disclosing your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in this way, please do not use the ELIXSERI Sites or provide ELIXSERI with your personal information.

ELIXSERI will only collect, use or disclose your personal information where it is fair and lawful to do so. In most cases, we will ask for your consent explicitly but, in some cases, we may infer consent from your actions and behaviour.  We may ask you to provide additional consent if we need to use your personal information for purposes not covered by this Privacy Notice.  You are not obliged to provide such consent but if you decide not to then your participation in certain activities may be restricted.  If you provide additional consent, the terms of that consent shall prevail in the event of any conflict with the terms of this Privacy Notice.
