If you are a non U.S. user of the Site, by visiting the Site and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that your Personal Data may be processed for the purposes identified in the Privacy Policy. In addition, your Personal Data may be processed in the country in which it was collected and in other countries, including the United States, where laws regarding processing of Personal Data may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By providing your data, you consent to such processing and transfer.

Types of Data We Collect.
“Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name,
address, telephone number, e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is
associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with
or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual
persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below.
-
Information You Provide to Us.
- If you create an account by registering directly with us, we will request your name, e-mail, and password.
- When you order products or begin a subscription, we will collect information necessary to process your order such as your shipping and billing information and payment information.
- If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply.
- When you post content on our Services such as a review, the information contained in your posting will be stored in our servers and other users will be able to see it, along with your first name and last initial. The information that you provide will be visible to others, including anonymous visitors to the Site.
- We may also collect Personal Data at other points in our Site and Services that state that Personal Data is being collected.
- Information You Provide to Facebook, Google, and other Social Networking Sites. The Services allow users to register for an account and login through social networking sites such as Facebook and Google (each an “SNS”). By registering or logging in through a SNS, you are allowing the Services to access your information and you are agreeing to the SNS’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy in your use of such services. e may receive information from the SNS to make it easier for you to create an account with us. Any information that we collect from your SNS account may depend on the privacy settings you have with that SNS, so please consult the SNS’s privacy and data practices
- Short Message Services and WAP. We may make available services through which you can receive messages on your phone or wireless device. We may also make available content via WAP and mobile services. If you subscribe to one of our SMS services or an SMS service of one of our partners, you thereby agree to receive services and messages at the address you provide for such purposes. We will use the information we obtain in connection with these services in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your wireless carrier and other service providers may also collect data about your wireless device usage, and their practices are governed by their own policies. By signing up for any SMS service, you consent to receiving messages as described above. You understand that your wireless carrier’s standard rates apply to these messages. You represent that you are the owner or authorized user of the wireless device on which messages will be received and that you are authorized to approve the applicable charges.
-
Information Collected via Technology.
- Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Site and Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
- Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements around the Site, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Site or the Services again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to Personal Data.
- Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site. This type of information is collected to make the Site more useful to you and to tailor the experience with us to meet your special interests and needs.
- Pixel Tags. In addition, we use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users’ Personal Data.
- Do Not Track Signals. We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals from web browsers.
-
Flash LSOs. When we post videos, third parties may use local shared objects, known as
“Flash Cookies, ” to store your preferences for volume control or to personalize certain video
features. Flash Cookies are different from browser Cookies because of the amount and type of data
and how the data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash
Cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash Cookies, click here:

Analytics Services. We use third party analytics services (“Analytics Services”), to help analyze
how users use our Site. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of
our Site (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services
use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer
the Analytics Information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties
process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Service’s ability to use and share Analytics
Information is restricted by such Analytics Service’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By using our Site,
you consent to the processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes
set out above. For a full list of Analytics Services, please contact us at
info@burstoralcare.com.
- Information Collected from You About Others. If you decide to invite a third party to create an account and/or purchase our products, we will collect your and the third party’s contact information in order to send a message to the third party and follow up with the third party. We rely upon you to obtain whatever consent from the third party that may be required by law to allow us to collect such information and contact the third party as described in the foregoing sentence. You or the third party may contact us at info@burstoralcare.com to request the removal of this information from our database.
- Information Collected from Third Party Companies. We may receive Personal and/or Anonymous Data about you from certain third parties, such as our partners, affiliates, and service providers. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you via our Site in order to provide and improve our Services.
-
Information You Provide to Us.
-
General Use.
In general, Personal Data you submit to us is used either to respond to requests that you make, or to aid
us in serving you better and providing you with a great user experience through our Services. We use your
Personal Data in the following ways:
- facilitate the creation of and secure your account on our network;
- provide improved administration of our Site and Services;
- provide the Services you request;

- Creation of Anonymous Data. We may create Anonymous Data records from Personal Data by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We use this Anonymous Data to analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance our Services and improve Site navigation. We reserve the right to use Anonymous Data for any purpose and disclose Anonymous Data to third parties in our sole discretion.
- Users. If you post comments on our Site, you will be identified by your first name and last initial. Please note that any Personal Data you include on a public area of the Site will be publicly viewable. Once displayed publicly, that information can be collected and used by others. We cannot control who reads your postings or what other users may do with the information that you voluntarily post, so it is very important that you do not put data such as private contact information which you do not want to make available to the public in your posts. Once you have posted information publicly, while you will still be able to edit and delete it on the Site, you will not be able to edit or delete such information cached, collected, and stored elsewhere by others (e.g., search engines).
-
Partners.
We may share your e-mail with partners with whom we have entered into agreements for their direct marketing
purposes. If you decide you would like to opt-out from these e-mails, you will need to follow the unsubscribe
instructions at the bottom of the applicable partner e-mail communications and/or contact the applicable
partner(s) to unsubscribe from future communications. BECAUSE WE DO NOT CONTROL THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF

This section applies only to California residents. It describes how we collect, use and share Personal Information of California residents in operating our business, and their rights with respect to that Personal Information. For purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.
Your California privacy rights. As a California resident, you have the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law.

You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your
Personal Information during the past 12 months:
- The categories of Personal Information that we have collected.
- The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information.
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling Personal Information.
- The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information.
- Whether we have disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third party recipient.

- Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you during the past 12 months.
- Deletion. You can ask us to delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you.
- Opt-out of sales. If we sell your Personal Information, you can opt-out. In addition, if you direct us not to sell your Personal Information, we will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” law to stop sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
- Opt-in. If we know that you are younger than 16 years old, we will ask for your permission (or if you are younger than 13 years old, your parent’s or guardian’s permission) to sell your Personal Information before we do so.
- Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination. This means that we will not penalize you for exercising your rights by taking actions such as denying you services; increasing the price/rate of services; decreasing service quality; or suggesting that we may penalize you as described above for exercising your rights.
How to exercise your rights
You may exercise your California privacy rights described above as follows:
-
Right to information, access and deletion.
You can request to exercise your information, access and deletion rights by:
- visiting burstoralcare.com/privacy
- calling us toll free at 833-287-7887
- emailing privacy@burstoralcare.com
- Right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money). However, like many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you. California law classifies our use of these services as a “sale” of your Personal Information to the companies that provide the services. This is because we allow them to collect information from our website users (e.g., online identifiers and browsing activity) so they can help serve ads more likely to interest you. You can request to opt-out out of this “sale” of your personal information here: Do Not Sell My Personal Information.
We will need to confirm your identity and California residency to process your requests to exercise your information, access or deletion rights. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.
