    This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies and other tracking technologies by these Services only.

    Beauty Scripts or an affiliate network (each an "Affiliate Network Partner") may drop cookies on a consumer’s device and/or web browser. For example, once a Pro grabs a Product or Merchant link from our Services, visitors to that Pro’s script who click on the particular link will be directed by Bx or the Affiliate Network Partner to a Merchant’s e-commerce site, at which point Bx or the Affiliate Network Partner drops a cookie on the visitor’s browser. These cookies are dropped so that our Services can monetize visits to our Pros and other actions.

    Beauty Scripts may also utilize third party tracking technology, such as deep linking, to leverage cross-app and cross-site functionality.

    Another tracking technology is a script that collects device information to permit what is known as device fingerprinting. (see, e.g., FTC Consumer Guide on Online Tracking - What is device fingerprinting?) For example, this data collection may permit generation of device fingerprints and cross-device profiles to better understand who visits particular Influencers, how often, unique visits, repeat visits, and more.

    You agree Bx is not liable for the content or use of personal information by third parties, including, without limitation, SNS, Influencers and Merchants, and including their use of cookies and other tracking technologies. Users and Consumers should consult the privacy policies and terms of service for those individual websites.

    By agreeing to the terms of this Policy and by using our Services, you consent to the cookies and other tracking technologies referenced above. It is your responsibility to inform your visitors of the relevant data collection, use and disclosure practices through a privacy policy. 

    In order for you to be a registered and active user of the Services, you must agree to accept cookies and other tracking technologies and to post a privacy policy. If you wish to opt-out of cookies and other tracking technologies altogether, send an email pro@beautyscripts.com to request your account be deleted.
