AUGGIE, INC. PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: January 1st, 2024

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Auggie, Inc. ("Auggie," "we," or "us") collects, protects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use www.tryauggie.com ("Website") and any of our other services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, including the Website, the "Services"), and whether you access the Services directly or through a third party.

Please understand that, except as specifically described below, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by third parties, such as other companies, or third-party websites or mobile applications, even if any are linked to or accessible through the Services.

If you have any questions or concerns about our information practices, please contact us at privacy@tryauggie.com.

If you do not want information about you to be used as described in this Privacy Policy, you must stop, or refrain from, using the Services.

2. Information We Collect

"Personal Information," as used in this Privacy Policy, is information that directly identifies an individual, such as a person's name, or information that reasonably allows an individual to be identified indirectly, such as email or home address or a person's mobile phone number. Personal Information also includes information that is directly combined with such identifying information.

We collect Personal Information when people use our Services. This information falls into two (2) general categories:

Passive Data Collection. This refers to data automatically collected from customers when they use our Services.
User-Submitted Information. This refers to information that customers actively submit to us, which may be provided voluntarily or as required to use our Services.

Customers also sometimes provide us with information about other individuals, such as when a customer sends a gift card or uses our referral services to tell a friend about us. In those cases, we may ask that customer to provide the recipient's name and email address. (We may also collect Personal Information in any personalized message that is submitted with a gift card or referral.) We will automatically send the recipient email correspondence with the gift card or referral, and invite them to visit the Website or otherwise use the Services. If we receive Personal Information for a referral or gift card, we use that information for the sole purpose of sending this email correspondence, and for tracking the use of the gift card or the success of our referral program.

Passive Data Collection

As a general matter, we automatically collect certain information based on your use of and behavior in connection with the Services. We use this information to analyze our customers' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve you and our customer base. We also analyze this information for security purposes, to protect the Services and customer information that we hold.

If the information we collect automatically identifies you or could be reasonably used to identify you, then it is treated as Personal Information. Also, if we directly combine any information gathered through passive means with Personal Information, we treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. But in many cases, the information that we collect passively is only used in de-identified or aggregated forms, which do not identify any individual.

We collect passive data in the following ways:

Log Files

Like most websites, we automatically receive and record certain information about our customers' behavior on our Website. Our servers automatically gather technical information about our Website traffic and store it in log files. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and other clickstream data. We aggregate this information with other pieces of information to analyze trends, to administer and improve the Services, for example to understand customers' use of the Website and to make inventory and purchasing decisions that will best serve our customer base. Information from log files may also be used to determine general location information such as city, state or geographic area.

Cookies, Web Beacons and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a computer for record-keeping or tracking purposes. Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), are graphics that can record whether a person has accessed particular content. We use these and other similar technologies on the Website and in connection with our Services.

Cookies we utilize may include session cookies, persistent cookies, or similar technologies. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie is stored on your computer or device for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" menu. You may also configure your browser to prevent cookies from being set on your computer. (Instructions should be provided in documentation for your browser.) If you reject cookies, your ability to use the Website and other Services may be limited, and you may not be able to use certain features of the Website or other Services. We may use cookies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies. There are two categories of strictly necessary cookies that we consider necessary for customers to use the Services:some text
- Essential cookies. Essential cookies are required for providing you with features or services that you have requested. For example, certain cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our Services. Disabling these cookies may make certain features and services unavailable.
- Functional cookies. Functional cookies are used to record your choices and settings regarding our Services, maintain your preferences over time and recognize you when you return to our Services. These cookies help us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Performance/analytical cookies. Performance/analytical cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our Services such as by collecting information about the number of visitors to the Services, what pages visitors view on our Services and how long visitors are viewing pages on the Services. Performance/analytical cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our campaigns and the Services' content for those who engage with our advertising.
Targeting cookies and other data trackers. Targeting cookies and other data tracking technologies record information such as your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have clicked. We will use this information subject to your choices and preferences to make your experience using our Services more relevant to your interests, such as keeping a record of the items you have selected for purchase. We also work with third parties to serve targeted advertisements to people similar to our customer base and those who are similar to visitors to our Site or similar to those identified in one or more of our databases. We may use web beacons or similar technologies, which help manage content on the Website and in the Services by tracking what content is effective. These technologies may be used to track the online movements of customers, but in contrast to cookies, which are stored on a computer hard drive, these technologies are embedded in the Website. We may also use web beacons in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. For more information, see Targeted Advertising and Analytics section in this privacy policy.

Targeted Advertising and Analytics

We engage others to provide analytics, serve advertisements, and perform related services across the web. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, device identifiers, and other technologies to collect information about your use of our Services and other websites and mobile apps, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in mobile apps, links clicked, and conversion information. This information is used to deliver advertising targeted to your interests on other companies' sites and to analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand your activity. Some of our advertising partners enable us to translate your email address or phone number into an identifier that cannot be used to identify you personally. Our advertising partners then use that unique identifier to show ads that are more relevant to you across the web and in mobile apps. Some of the activities described in this section may constitute "targeted advertising," "sharing," or "selling" under certain laws. To learn more about the choices available to you with respect to these practices, see section 6, Your Choices.

You can also learn more about interest-based ads, or opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes by companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance, by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Audio and Video Recordings and Customer Support and Chat Conversations

If you contact customer support through our chat feature, we may monitor and retain the chat conversation, including for training purposes. We also capture audio and video recordings during video conference and audio calls with you. Please do not use the chat feature or participate in video conference or audio calls with us if you do not consent to our monitoring and retention of chat conversations and video conference calls with you.

User-Submitted Information

As a general matter, we may ask you for information, or retain information, that you provide to us in order to provide our Services to you, and to better serve you and our customer base. This category of information includes information submitted electronically, via phone, and in person through our stores. We may also combine this information with Personal Information to provide you with customized and personalized services.

We collect User-Submitted Information in the following ways:

Registration and Communicating with You

In order to use some features of the Website or other Services, including the purchase of Auggie's products, you must first create an account with us and agree to the Terms of Service. To create an account, you must provide an email address and create a password. We may also ask you for your birthday. We use the email address you provide to contact you about the products and Services, and to begin to create a tailored experience for you.

You may also provide us your contact information, such as your email address and phone number, when you sign up to receive communications from us about the Services, events we offer, and news and information that we think will interest you. By providing your phone number, you consent to receive marketing communications from us via text message or phone call. Standard call and message rates may apply. You can opt out of receiving these communications at any time by following the instructions provided in the messages or by contacting us at privacy@tryauggie.com.

Orders

If you order a product from us, we request certain Personal Information from you, whether you access the Services from the Website or otherwise. You must provide contact information (including name, shipping address, telephone number, and age) and a payment method. We use this information for billing purposes, to fill your orders and to communicate with you about your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.

We record what you order and associate it with your account profile. We may ask you for information about your experience with the products, such as feedback and ratings. We record that information to better personalize our Services for you and to improve our Services for others.

Personalization of Service

In order to improve your customer experience, we may request personal characteristics, such as your bust size and breast augmentation preferences. We may also ask for your feedback and rating of our products. All of this information is voluntary and helps us improve our Services by enabling us to create a tailored experience for you and our other customers. Although we believe that providing this information will improve the Services we can offer to you, and your experience of the Services, we will not require you to provide it. We may also collect approximate geolocation information from you.

Surveys or Contests

We may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys or contests on our Website or in connection with our Services. If you participate, we will request certain Personal Information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and email address) and demographic information.

We may use this information to notify contest winners and to award prizes, to monitor traffic to our Services, to improve the Services, and to send participants an email newsletter.

Additional information practices (and terms and conditions) may apply to any survey or contest, which will be made available with the survey or contest. Please carefully review any additional information provided.

Public Feedback (Reviews) and Discussion Boards

If you choose to post messages to public message areas, such as submitting reviews about the items you have purchased, or leave feedback for others, that information may become available to anyone. We are not responsible for the use by others of the information you publicly disclose. Additionally, we may, but are not obligated to, collect the information you post in public message areas to resolve disputes, provide customer support and troubleshoot problems as permitted by law.

Please be careful and closely consider disclosing any Personal Information in public message areas.

For legal reasons or as required by law; and
With your consent or at your direction.

The purposes and ways that we may disclose Personal Information about you are described below in more detail.

Service Providers

We may provide Personal Information to third parties for use in performing research and business functions (e.g., mailing, maintenance, security, data analytics, communications, CRM, database management services, credit card payment processing or data hosting) on our behalf (our "service providers"). These service providers agree to use your Personal Information only in accordance with our instructions, with information used only as described in this Privacy Policy and for no other purpose than to provide the contracted-for services.

We may disclose Personal Information if we believe that your actions are inconsistent with our user agreements or policies, if we believe that you have violated the law, or if we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of Auggie, our users, the public, or others. We may also disclose Personal Information if we have a good-faith belief that doing so is required under applicable law, for example if we receive a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order or otherwise required by law.

We may disclose Personal Information when we have your consent or you direct us to do so. For example, if you decide to participate in certain interactive areas or features of our Services, such as writing a product review, you consent to the disclosure of any personal information you provide in connection with your post.

We may also disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
