2.   OVERVIEW

Nu Skin is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. We act in accordance with the requirements of the various privacy and data protection laws applicable in the countries or markets where we operate.

This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use and share Personal Data pertaining to our customers, Brand Affiliates, job applicants and office and Website visitors (collectively, “you” and “your”) and explains the rights you have regarding our use of your Personal Data. This Privacy Notice also applies to you if you publish information on the Internet (e.g. publicly available websites or blogs, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) that we may collect data from, either directly or through third parties. Please take into account that not all sections may be equally relevant or applicable to you depending on the circumstances. For instance, if you are an office visitor, Section 10 “Your Marketing Choices” in principle does not apply to you because we typically do not send office visitors direct marketing messages.

Please ensure you read this Privacy Notice carefully before using our Website or Apps and/or providing us with your Personal Data.

Please note that when fields include a “/”, this means that we do not collect or otherwise process personal data for that data subject category in a given country/market.

Where a field includes more than one data controller, this means that we have more than one Nu Skin entity in that country/market and the controller responsible will be the entity that you have a relationship with (e.g. because you visited or applied with that specific Nu Skin office).

1) In which category of data subject you fall:

-      Customers (customers include the recipients of the newsletter or other marketing communications)

-      Brand Affiliates (ie. registered distributors)

-      Job Candidates

-      Office Visitors

 

2) Your country or market:
