Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how La Canada Ventures, Inc. (“MD HAIR™”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit, interact with, or purchase from www.mdhair.com (the “Site”).
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of personal information:
- Order & account information: name, email address, billing and shipping address, phone number, payment information (processed securely by Shopify Payments and other PCI-compliant processors), order history.
- Device & usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and similar technical data collected via cookies and similar technologies.
- Communications: emails, support requests, customer service correspondence, product reviews you choose to submit.
- AI chat assistant conversations: messages you type into the AI shopping assistant on the Site, and any email address you choose to provide in chat (for example, to receive a product routine by email).
- Marketing preferences: email and SMS opt-in status, marketing list memberships.
2. How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
- Fulfill orders, process payments, ship products, and provide customer service.
- Communicate about orders, shipments, returns, and account matters.
- Send marketing emails and SMS messages (only with consent; see “Your Choices” below).
- Personalize site content and product recommendations.
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, unauthorized access, or other prohibited activity.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
3. How We Share Information
We share personal information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site and business: Shopify (e-commerce platform), payment processors, shipping carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL), email service providers, customer support tools, fraud-detection vendors, analytics providers, product review platforms, our AI assistant provider (Anthropic, which processes chat messages to generate the assistant's responses), and our edge-hosting provider (Cloudflare, which operates the chat service and stores chat logs).
- Advertising partners, including Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google, and TikTok, to deliver relevant advertising and measure ad performance. You can opt out of personalized advertising via your account settings on those platforms.
- Legal authorities, when required by subpoena, court order, or applicable law, or to protect the safety of MD HAIR™, our customers, or the public.
- Business successors, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, subject to customary confidentiality protections.
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may limit some Site features. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law.
5. AI Shopping Assistant
Our Site offers an AI-powered shopping assistant (“chat”). Messages you send in chat are processed by the service providers named above to answer your questions. Conversations are logged for quality, safety, and record-keeping: routine chat logs are retained for up to 30 days, and records of conversations relevant to fraud prevention or the protection of our legal rights (for example, reports of look-alike products or sellers) may be retained longer as business records. If you provide your email address in chat, we use it as described in this Policy and, where you consent, for marketing. The assistant is automated and may make mistakes; it does not provide medical advice. Please do not share sensitive personal or health information in chat beyond what is needed for your question.
6. Your Choices & Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:
- Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: request that we correct inaccurate information.
- Deletion: request that we delete personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Opt out of marketing: unsubscribe from emails via the link in any email, or reply STOP to SMS messages.
- California residents (CCPA/CPRA): right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. Submit requests via the contact information below or our cookie preference center.
- EEA/UK residents (GDPR): right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port your data, and object to processing. Lawful bases for processing include contract performance, legitimate interests, and consent.
To exercise any right, email customercare@mdhair.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
7. Data Security
We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; in the event of a data security incident, we will notify affected customers and regulators as required by law.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations (including tax and accounting), resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
9. Children
The Site is not directed to children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
10. International Transfers
MD HAIR™ is based in the United States. By using the Site, you understand that personal information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate, which may have data-protection laws different from your country.
