This Security and Privacy Statement will apply to your use of AVON.COM, YOURAVON.COM, or any other Website owned or operated by AVON ("AVON WEBSITES").

privacy policy

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 AVON WEBSITES 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 AVON WEBSITES. When you make a purchase from the AVON WEBSITES, 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

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 commercially reasonable efforts to delete the child's information from our existing files.
