5) Sensitive Information & Skin Content (Important)
If you submit photos or details about your skin concerns, routine, allergies, or treatments, you’re choosing to share potentially sensitive personal information.

Please do not submit highly sensitive data you don’t want stored or processed (unless the Site specifically requests it for a defined purpose and provides appropriate safeguards).

Provide the Services
Maintain records (orders, support requests)
Comply with legal obligations
Resolve disputes and enforce agreements

Retention periods vary based on the type of data and why we collected it.
