communications and marketing campaigns.

advertising technologies (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as
Facebook, Google Ad Words, Criteo and others) that use cookies and other

your searches, demographic data, and other information we collect from

over time and across other websites and online services.
We sometimes provide our customer
information (such as email addresses) to service providers, who may
“match” this information in de-identified form to cookies (or mobile ad
identifiers) and other proprietary IDs, in order to provide you with
more relevant ads when you visit other websites and mobile applications.

this Privacy Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking

or others, you may also receive tailored in-application advertisements.

mobile applications or for mobile application analytics. Each operating
system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, and Windows
for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent
the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. We do not
control how the applicable platform operator allows you to control
receiving personalized in-application advertisements; thus, you should
contact the platform provider for further details on opting out of
tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support
materials and/or the device settings for the respective operating

SUBMITTING INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
We control and operate the online and
mobile resources from within the United States of America (the “U.S.”).
Information collected through the Website and Services may be stored and
processed in the United States or any other country in which we or our
vendors maintain facilities. Although we do not actively block or
monitor visitors from other countries, the Website is directed only at
visitors from the U.S. As such, this Privacy Policy is consistent with
U.S. law and practice and is not adapted to other laws (including
European data security and privacy laws). MV ADVANCED INC. D/B/A MARIE
VERONIQUE will apply the applicable laws of the U.S. including as
embodied in this Privacy Policy in place of data protections under your
home country's law. That is, you freely and unambiguously acknowledge
that this Privacy Policy, not your home country's laws, controls how we
will collect, store, process, and transfer your personal information.
Similarly, the English language version of this Privacy Policy is the
controlling version regardless of any translation you may attempt.
DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION LAWS: THE CCPA AND GDPR
Privacy and data protection laws vary
around the world and among the several United States. Some of those laws
are more specific than others. Most prominently, residents of
California and data subjects whose personal information was obtained
from them while they were in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom,
and Switzerland have certain additional rights in cases where the party
collecting that information is governed by the applicable law. We have
reviewed our business operations and data-related business practices
with legal counsel in the context of the General Data Protection
Regulation under European Law also known as the “GDPR” and the
California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”). As a result of that
review, as of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not
believe we are governed by either the GDPR or CCPA.
We do not, for instance, collect
personal information from data subjects in the European Economic Area,
United Kingdom, or Switzerland or elsewhere abroad. Similarly, we do not
target or tailor our Website or Services or any of our other US-based
business activities to appeal to, or specifically attempt to do business
in those jurisdictions. In terms of California, although we may do
business within the state, we do not meet any of the various statutory
thresholds and criteria that would bring us under the CCPA.
For general visitors, consumers and
regulators who have questions about whether or how the GDPR, CCPA or
other industry- or jurisdiction-specific laws apply to us, you can
contact us using the contact information below.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Federal law imposes special
restrictions and obligations on commercial website operators who direct
their operations toward, and collect and use information from children
under the age of 13. We take those age-related requirements very
seriously, and, consistent with them, do not intend for our Website or
Services to be used by children under the age of 18, and certainly not
by anyone under the age of 13. Moreover, we do not knowingly collect
personal information from minors under the age of 18. If we become aware
that anyone under the age of 18 has submitted personal information to
us via our Website or Services, we will delete that information and not
use it for any purpose whatsoever. We encourage parents and legal
guardians to talk with their children about the potential risks of
providing personal information over the Internet.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT
We reserve the right to change or
update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please check our Website
periodically for such changes since all information collected is subject
to the Privacy Policy in place at the time of collection. Typically, we
will indicate the effective/amendment date at the beginning of this
Privacy Policy. If we feel it is appropriate, or if the law requires,
we’ll also provide a summary of changes we’ve made near the end of the
new Privacy Policy.
