We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of minors online and the need for special processing of data collected from minors under the age of 18. Therefore, we have formulated the following policy regarding the online collection, use and disclosure of personal data of minors. We advise parents to browse our website with their minors and advise parents to remind their children that they must check with their parents before providing any personal data. Most websites operated by Galderma, Inc. are not directed to minors and do not knowingly request or collect personal data from minors under the age of 18. For some of our websites that may appeal to people of all ages, we may take steps to ensure that persons wishing to register or submit personal data have reached a certain age limit. The following details our operating practices with respect to a small number of websites that may have a strong appeal to minors under the age of 18, or may collect information about them. Collection of information from minors Anonymous or non-personal information Minors can generally browse our website, read content, and participate in games without providing any personal information such as name or email address. Some websites may require minors to provide anonymous or non-personal information (for example: username, password, last name, city or country) to gain access to personalized features, or to allow minors to record game best scores, store preferences, Website personalization, or other similar activities. When only anonymous information is required during the registration process, we may allow minors to use their date of birth (limited to month and day) as their login password, which can help them easily remember their passwords. personal information If the website needs to collect personal data of minors (for example: certain e-newsletters, contests, prizes or other similar activities), in addition to technical or other information required to provide the required functions and services (for example: birth month and date for birthday cards), the personal data we collect may include the name and email address of the minor, and the name and email address of his or her parents. In general, such information will only be stored and continued to be used after we have obtained the prior identifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Parent"). The method of obtaining parental consent may vary depending on the type of data required for the campaign and the purpose for which it is intended to be used. For example, if a minor subscribes to a newsletter or registers for a feature on the website, we may send an email to notify parents and, depending on the feature, tell parents how to discontinue their child's participation in the activity or provide authorised consent. We may confirm via email at a later time if the parent provides the required authorization. If the parent refuses or chooses not to authorize the child to participate in the activity or registration, any information that the minor may have submitted will be deleted. In other cases, such as when minors participate in: (i) contests and win prizes; (ii) activities that may publish minors' personal data or stories on the website, we may ask for more specific consent, Such as parental written consent. In addition, where applicable, parents will give consent to our collection and use of personal data of minors, but do not constitute consent to the disclosure of such personal data to third parties. In all cases, we will only collect personal data from minors with parental consent. We will also only collect necessary and reasonable personal data, so that minors can participate in a special function, which means that if we do not need a specific personal data of the customer's minor (for example: telephone number) ) to allow minors to register or receive newsletters, we will not make a request. For information on the measures we take to protect the confidentiality and security of minors' personal data, please refer to the section on security above. We will not use passive data collection technologies (such as cookies) to collect any personal data of minors; however, the information in cookies may be linked to personal data of minors. For information on how we use cookies and other data recording technologies, please see the relevant section above. Use of personal data of minors Once the personal data of minors are collected, they will only be used in accordance with their original purpose of collection and the purpose for which their parents have agreed (where consent is required). For example: if a minor registers (with parental authorization and consent) to subscribe to an e-newsletter or bulletin, the minor's e-mail address will be used to send the requested information. Parental Access/Control If the customer has given us permission to collect and store the personal data of the customer's children, the customer may at any time:
Access the personal data of the customer's children by viewing the appropriate authorization/access page. We will provide a link to this web page in the notice we send to the customer after we originally asked for the customer's consent.
Request to stop using or collecting personal data of customers' children (eg opt-out of messages). Customers may visit the opt-out message page provided on the website where the customer's child is registered, or make a request in accordance with the opt-out procedure or instructions described in the newsletter or e-mail sent to the customer's child's e-mail address.
Following the procedure in point 2 above, the customer may request that we delete the personal data of the customer's children. Opposing messages for the children of customers will delete their personal data from our records.
If the above does not provide any suitable option for the customer or the customer intends to make a different request, please: (i) review the documents we provide when the customer gives consent; or (ii) please feel free to contact us. Please ensure that the customer has the following documents for verification purposes: the customer's child's name and email address, the customer's name and email address, and the website name registered by the customer's child.
