If you have provided us your email address, we may reach out to you during the shopping process, or after you leave the site. For instance, if you close your browser when you have an unfinished order (products in your shopping cart), we may email you to let you know you have not finished your checkout. We have a legitimate interest in making sure your shopping cart is there when you return. We will keep the items you’ve placed in your basket using a cookie that does not identify you for up to 14 days(provided you are using the same IP address) before the contents are deleted. Please see the cookies section below for more information about this.
When you interact with our Site, we also collect limited non-personally identifying information that the browser you used makes available automatically. This information includes the internet address of the computer or network you used to access our Site, the date, time, and page(s) you visited on our Site, the browser and operating system you used, and the referring page (the webpage that contained the link to our Site that you clicked on to get there). We also use data files to help you navigate on the Site. Once you leave our Site, you have the right not to be followed. Please see our section on Cookies below to learn more about managing your experience.
Cookies
To help us serve you better, we collect information that identifies the computer or browser used to access the The Lux Cut Site, as well as the user account associated with that computer/browser if you are logged in. Cookies are pieces of information placed in the settings of your web browser by a website server to identify your computer when you return to a website. Whenever a site welcomes you and tailors data to your specifications, it is reading a cookie left in your browser and identifying information that you may have registered during previous visits, such as your viewing preferences.
Certain cookies placed by our Site do not collect any personal information and are essential to the provision of a functional website and/or app. Accordingly, we have a legitimate interest in placing these cookies (these are known as “Necessary Cookies” and include cookies that drive your navigation on our Sites. As we note above, if you have been shopping at our site and there are items in your cart, those items will remain in your cart for 14 days and then disappear. Note that you are not required to accept other types of cookies that collect personal information in order to use our Site (such as the advertising cookies described above in the Collection section). Using cookies, we may collect information about you from your browsing history and use that to send you targeted advertising. You may withdraw consent at any time by altering your information through the tools in your specific web browser, which will allow you to exempt our Site.
You may also help manage your cookies here: http://optout.aboutads.info. See below for information on how to opt-out of Google Analytics information we may collect, including remarketing to you.
Please note that opting out of receiving remarketing cookies does not mean you may never see an advertisement on our Site. It simply means those advertisements will not be tailored to you based upon your preferences on the site. Also please note that some features of our website may not function properly if all cookies (including Necessary Cookies) are blocked.
Google Analytics
This Site may use Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. The Site may also make use of other Google Analytics for Display Advertising features, including Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting and/or the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration. We are required by Google to disclose the following information to you in our Privacy Statement in connection with our use of any Google Analytics for Display Advertising features on the The Lux Cut Site.
You may opt-out of Google Analytics
ics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads by using the Google Ads Settings page. You may also prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics by opting out through the use of the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. If the The Lux Cut Site makes use of the Google Analytics for Display Advertising Remarketing feature, The Lux Cut will use such Remarketing feature to advertise online and third-party vendors, including Google, may show The Lux Cut ads on sites across the Internet.
The Lux Cut and third-party vendors, including Google, may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies together to (a) inform, optimize and serve ads based on a user’s past visits to the The Lux Cut Site, and/or (b) report how your ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to the The Lux Cut Site.
As with all information we collect, the data from Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting may be utilized by The Lux Cut to help recognize and understand user preferences, to make improvements to the The Lux Cut Site, to choose content and advertising to display to you, and for other business purposes that will allow The Lux Cut to better serve you.
Use of Data
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our Site operates correctly and efficiently. Toward that goal, we use the aggregated nonpersonal/deidentified data and information from all users of our Site to measure server performance, analyze user traffic patterns, and improve the content of our Site and portions of our Site. We sometimes track the keywords that are entered into our search engines or through our Sites to measure interest in specific topics and to improve the visitor experience on the Site.
We have a legitimate interest in communicating with you about your account and purchases and will use your personal information to send you important non-commercial emails, such as administrative notices related to our Site, your orders, and customer service inquiries. For instance, you will receive notices regarding the status of purchases that you make on the Site. This and other noncommercial information is necessary to maintain our records.
We do not and will not sell personal information of our customers while this Privacy Policy remains in effect.
Please note that unless you delete your account completely, as outlined below, we will continue to send you noncommercial communications, even if you have opted out of receiving commercial messages from The Lux Cut.
With your consent, as noted above, we will use your e-mail address and/or other personal information to provide you with information we think you will be interested in, including company news, updates, promotions, news from our branding partners, affiliate marketers, featured companies, feature information, related product or service information, and information about items you may have viewed and/or added to your cart on the site. Even after you have agreed to receive such messages, you can let us know at any time if you would prefer not to receive any or all of this marketing information by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email you receive from us, or by sending an e-mail to [email protected] that contains the email address you wish us to unsubscribe from our lists. Please note that if you do not supply the email address in your request, we will be unable to unsubscribe you. Also, if you do not supply the same email address to us that you used to subscribe to, we will be unable to unsubscribe you.
As noted above, even if you opt-out of receiving marketing messages, we will still send you important non-commercial messages so long as you maintain your account. Please see below for how to permanently delete your account.
In the event that The Lux Cut goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, liquidation or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your data will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Members may be notified of any such business transition via email and/or notice on the The Lux Cut website.
We have a legitimate interest in complying with our legal obligations. Accordingly, we may release personal information if we believe in good faith that: the law or legal process requires it; we have received a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency; or such release is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our respective affiliates, business partners, customers, or others.
In the event The Lux Cut conducts an online survey, promotion, contest, or sweepstakes (collectively, a “Promotion”), the information we collect will be used consistent with the terms and conditions outlined in the promotion guidelines or rules, which may include a reference to this Policy. All Promotions are voluntary and may include a request for information, such as your age, an image of you, or other information. Should you choose, you can elect to provide permission for The Lux Cut to use the email address and/or telephone number you provide when entering a Promotion for sending you marketing messages. However, you are only required to provide such permission in order to participate in a Promotion if it is necessary for the running of the promotion. For instance, if we request your email address or your social media handle because it is used to notify you if you’ve won and/or to send your prize, and you do not want to provide it, you will not be able to participate in the Promotion. Information you provide us will be used to administer the Promotion. If you have not opted-in to receive further communications about upcoming promotions, your identifying data will be retained only for as long as it is necessary to administer the Promotion and legally comply with our obligations that extend from your participation, including prize awarding, reporting obligations, and other legitimate matters.
Similar to a Promotion, when you provide information to us in connection with a submission request on the Site, we may use the information you provide in an article, promotional material, or otherwise in connection with our Site.
If you would like to revoke your consent to receiving commercial messages you have previously opted-in to receive as the result of a Promotion, you can use the unsubscribe link in any marketing message. If you have previously provided express written consent to receive commercial text promotion messages, you can reply, “STOP” to any marketing text message you receive. You may also send an e-mail to [email protected] that contains the email address or phone number you wish to revoke consent for marketing messages. Please note that sending STOP via text message will only end automated commercial text messages. If you have a relationship with a The Lux Cut employee and you no longer want to receive messages, you must expressly request that person stop sending you messages.
If you have revoked your consent to receiving commercial messages, but you have not opted out of targeting cookies in your settings in your browser, revoking your consent will not stop you from seeing ads on third party websites based upon your browsing history the The Lux Cut site.
Please note that we request a phone number when you place an order with our Site. If you choose to include your mobile number, such inclusion constitutes consent to allow The Lux Cut to send you non-marketing messages about your order or account, but we will not send you marketing communications unless you provide express written consent for us to do so.
As discussed above, The Lux Cut uses third parties to process your data when it serves a legitimate business purpose (such as fulfillment services, technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions). For example, when you place an order on our Site, one of our data processors, such as Issuu or Stripe, collects and stores your data on our behalf. Our contracts with these processors require them to comply with our instructions and/or the applicable regulations regarding your information and to make commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard your information.
Links
Our website may contain links to other sites, including those of our business partners. Those sites may have their own privacy policies or no privacy policies at all. The Lux Cut is not responsible for the privacy practices employed by other sites and those other sites have not agreed to our privacy policy. The Lux Cut has no control over or responsibility for any unaffiliated third-party sites or the content contained in them, and we provide these links solely for the convenience of our visitors. We do not sponsor, endorse, or otherwise recommend such sites or any products or services they may offer. In short, once you leave our Site, we are no longer responsible for the collection practices of the companies operating those sites.
Do-Not-Track Signal
Because the do-not-track signal does not often reflect the preference of our consumers, our website does not respond to it. You may, however, elect not to receive marketing messages and/or have certain cookies placed on your browser, as discussed above, in the Cookies section of this Policy.
Children’s Access
Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its revisions in 2013, our website is a general audience website, intended for adult use only. The Lux Cut does not market to and does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children. If you are based in the EEA you may only use our Site if you are over the age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your country (the “Age of Consent”).
Site Security
We take reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect unauthorized access, alteration or destruction of data located on and collected by our Site (including through our data processors). Sensitive and private data exchange between the Site and its Users happens over an SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures. We exercise reasonable care to protect your non-public personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your non-public personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us while it is in transit. Once we receive your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect it. If a data breach occurs, we will notify you and the proper EEA authority (if required) within 72 hours (if reasonably feasible). If we are unable to notify the proper EEA authority within 72 hours, our notice will be accompanied by reasons for the delay.
We will acknowledge your Complaint within 24 hours and respond to your complaint within 45 days. We may ask that you provide additional information and/or request a one-on-one discussion or conference.
Your Rights
You are entitled to access your personal information and to have it amended, updated or deleted, where such information is incorrect, incomplete or outdated.
Up to two times per year, you may exercise your right to access your information and obtain:
a description of the categories of personal information and sources of such personal information we have collected within the past year;
a description of the business purpose we have collected such personal information for;
a description of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected within the past year; and/or
information on each third-party company to whom we have disclosed, within the past year, personal information pertaining to you for our direct marketing purposes

Please be sure to provide us with your name and the email address about which you are requesting information. In order to verify your identity, The Lux Cut may require email verification from the email address The Lux Cut has in its records for you.

The Lux Cut will confirm receipt of your request within ten days and answer your request within 45 days from its receipt provided that this request is complete and accurate.
Please note that information held by The Lux Cut that is not maintained in a searchable or reasonably accessible format, is held only for legal or compliance purposes, and is not sold or used for a commercial purpose will not be included in response to a Request to Know.
If you would like to update your information, you can contact us by sending a request in writing to:
When making a request to update your information, please make sure to provide the name and email address associated with the account.

You may, on legitimate grounds, object to the processing of your personal information. Such objection may, however, prohibit The Lux Cut from providing the requested service.
Data Deletion
You can request that The Lux Cut delete your account and/or other personal information by contacting The Lux Cut at [email protected]. The Lux Cut will confirm receipt of your request within ten days and answer your request within 45 days from its receipt provided that this request is complete and accurate.
To properly delete your account, you must provide the name under which the account was opened as well as the email address you used to create the account (names are similar, so we must have your email address to permanently delete your account). If you do not have an account or you are requesting deletion of information not associated with your account, The Lux Cut may require email verification from the email address The Lux Cut has in its records for you, or other forms of verification as appropriate.
We retain your information for as long as it is necessary for legitimate business purposes. We consider your consent to continue to send emails to you and ongoing relationship with you that allows your account to remain active. We consider any loyalty credits or credit balances to represent an ongoing relationship with you that allows your account to remain active.
If you withdraw your consent to receiving emails from us, and you do not have a credit balance or belong to an active loyalty program for which you have benefits, and we detect that your account has been dormant for a period of 12 months, and you are not otherwise continuing to receive marketing and commercial updates from us about The Lux Cut product and merchandise, we will send you an e-mail reminder to confirm you would still like to receive communications pertaining to your account. If we do not hear from you by the requested response time outlined in the e-mail, we will close your account and delete your information on or before the end of the calendar year and delete your account permanently, retaining only that which we are required by law to keep. We will not delete your account in the event you are still receiving a newsletter or other communication you have requested, have a credit balance, or otherwise belong to a loyalty program and retain benefits, since doing so means we continue to retain a relationship with you.
