security and privacy statement
Barb's Avon (referred to as "Barb's Avon", "we", "us"
and "our") respects the privacy of every individual who visits our Websites
and online areas, participates in interactive bulletin boards or forums, or purchases
AVON products on-line. This statement outlines the information Barb's Avon will
collect and how we will use that information. This Security and Privacy Statement
will apply to your use of http://barbsavon.netfirms.com, or any other Website
owned or operated by Barb's Avon. This policy statement will also instruct you
on what to do if you want Barb's Avon to remove your personal information collected
or stored during previous visits to the Barb's Avon website.
privacy policy
Barb's Avon will not collect or retain any information about you personally
(that is, your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address) unless you
provide it to us voluntarily. We will collect information from the Barb's Avon
in several ways. If you register for an online account, we will ask you for
personal information including your name, zip code, e-mail address and phone
number. This personal information will be stored in your personal profile. Once
you have submitted this information and chosen both a valid username and password,
you will be able to take full advantage of using the Barb's Avon website. When
you make a purchase from the Barb's Avon website, we will also ask for your
credit card information, as well as, billing and shipping information. We will
send out confirming e-mails whenever you register or make a purchase, to inform
you that we received your personal information or to confirm your purchase.
If you do provide us with personal information, we may retain and use that
information for several purposes. First, we may store and process the information
to better understand your needs and how we can improve our products and services.
Second, we may retain information about your previous purchases of AVON products
in order to customize our Website services for your future visits to the site.
Third, we may use your e-mail address to send you updates about new products,
specials and other items of interest. If you have already submitted this information
and would like to remove it, you can delete this information from your personal
profile. However, if you made a purchase, we will need to retain certain information
for billing and shipping purposes.
sharing of information with third parties
When you place an order through an eRepresentative, your order may be personally
processed by the eRepresentative receiving credit for your order, and not by
AVON. In these cases, all personal information required to process your order
will be shared with your personal eRepresentative. Except as stated above or
when necessary to share your information with AVON's agents or contractors for
the purposes of performing services for AVON, your personal information (name,
address, telephone number, e-mail address or other information) will not be
provided to any third party without your prior consent. We have restricted our
agents and contractors from using your personal information in any way other
than to provide the services contracted for by AVON.
children
Barb's Avon does not intend to collect any personal information (such as, name,
address, telephone number, age or e-mail address) from persons under thirteen
years of age. If a parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with such
information would like the information deleted from our records, he or she should
contact us at the e-mail address or phone number listed at the bottom of this
policy statement. We will make reasonable efforts to delete the child's information
from our existing files.

When you view Barb's Avon website, we may store some information in the form
of a "cookie" or similar file that is automatically downloaded to
your computer. Cookies enable us, among other things, to tailor a Website or
advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. Please be assured
that cookies are safe. They are not programs that can be used to damage files,
and personal information cannot be gathered from them. If you do not want cookies
sent to or stored on your system, most Internet Browsers will allow you to erase

correcting your personal information
If you registered with us, you will be able to view and change or modify any
information contained in your personal profile by using the editing tools contained
in the profile section of the Barb's Avon website..
links to other sites
We cannot ensure the protection of any personal information that you provide
to a third-party site that links to or from the Barb's Avon website, since these
third-party sites are owned and operated independently. These third-party sites
may have their separate privacy and data collection practices that are beyond
our control. Any personal information that you provide to these third-party
sites will be regulated by their privacy policy, if any. Barb's Avon can assume
no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the practices, actions or policies
of these third-party sites, and cannot be responsible for the content or privacy
practices of such sites.
security precautions
We are aware that you may be concerned about the privacy and confidentiality
of your personal information, including, in the case of a purchase of goods,
credit card and billing address information. Therefore, we have taken precautions
to ensure that this information is safe and secure. If you registered with us,
your online account information is protected by a password chosen by you. Access
to that online account requires your username and password. We recommend that
you do not disclose your username and password to any other person. Additionally,
concerning credit card information, we protect your transactions using a technology
called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). If your browser is capable of SSL, and most
are, your sensitive information will automatically be encrypted before being
sent over the Internet. You should also know that we do not store your credit
card or ordering information on our Internet server.
No data transmission over the Internet will be 100% secure. While we take steps
to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Upon receiving
your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our
systems. However, you are ultimately responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your username, passwords and/or any account information.
acceptance of these terms
By using this Website, you agree to this Security and Privacy Statement. If
you do not agree to this policy, please do not use the Barb's Avon website.
Barb's Avon reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Your continued
use of the Barb's Avon following the posting of changes to our Privacy Policy
will signify your acceptance of those changes.
