The California Consumer Privacy Act defines “sell” in relation to personal information, more broadly, to include sell, rent, release, disclose, disseminate, make available, transfer or otherwise communicate that information orally, in writing or electronically to another business for money or other consideration. Understood this way, we may be considered to have sold information to fulfillment companies we contract with to print and send printed advertising and marketing or delivery of products through the postal mail and email, or through their personnel, and to service providers who help us manage or operate this site or other information.
5. Use of Cookies
Our website may use cookies to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small file placed on your hard drive or device. One purpose of a cookie is to provide convenience to save you time. It tells the web server you returned to a specific page. It may help the server recall your information from other visits. This simplifies recording your personal information, like billing and shipping address. When you return to the site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, to make your use of the site easier. If you do not want cookies placed on your device, you should set the device browser to decline cookies before using the site. You can remove or block cookies using settings in your browser, but that possibly may impact your ability to access and/or use some aspects of the site.
6. Security of your Personal Information
Giovanni tries to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, this site has security measures to reduce risks of loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control. Our security measures are updated from time to time. As an additional measure, this policy does not state more details of security measures we use. We do not claim to have the most advanced or best possible security measures. Neither our security measures, nor any security measures, provide 100% certainty against all risks. Inadvertent disclosure is possible. Technology changes, computer hackers, dishonesty by persons with access and human error are examples why it is impossible for us, or anyone, to absolutely guarantee your information cannot be accessed or disclosed.
Accordingly, WE AND OUR OWNERSHIP, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO DISCLOSURE OR MISUSE OF YOUR INFORMATION. Please do not disclose any information that is so confidential or personal that its release would cause you injury.

Giovanni does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under age 16. If you are under age 16, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website. If we learn we collected personal information from someone, without parental or guardian consent, who, at the time we learn this, is under 16, we will try to delete that information. If you believe we may have information from someone under age 16, please tell us at info@giovannicosmetics.com.
