Privacy Policy

Last Updated June 16th, 2025

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare values your privacy rights and is committed toward transparency in all our products and services. We believe our privacy practices are an integral part of our quest to become the most trusted beauty company in the world.

This Privacy Policy (or “Policy”) tells you how Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare (“Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information obtained from and about our customers (“you”). It also tells you how you can access and update your information and make certain choices about how your information is used. This Policy covers both our online and offline data collection activities, including information that we collect through our various websites and applications, as well as our offline programs and events. By using a Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare website or by otherwise giving us your information, you agree to the terms of this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, you must not use our websites or applications or give us any of your information.

If we want to change the way we handle your information, we will post those changes in this Privacy Policy. For material changes (i.e., substantially new practices you wouldn’t expect from us or that we didn’t previously tell you about), we may decide to notify you more prominently and/or give you prior choice. We reserve the right to make changes to our practices and this Policy at any time, provided that we follow the procedures above. This website is intended for and directed to residents of the United States. If you are not a resident of the United States, please visit the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare website located in your home country.

THIS PRIVACY POLICY ANSWERS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

Q. Why do we process your information?

We generally use your information for the following business purposes:

  • The performance of the contract we have with you: in certain circumstances, we need your information to execute our contractual obligations. For example, if you buy products through our website, we need your name and contact details so we can communicate with you and deliver the products you ordered. If you do not provide your information, we will not be able to provide you with the requested products and services.
  • Your prior consent: in certain cases, we may ask for your express consent before collecting or using your information. For instance, we will always ask for your permission to send you marketing communications.
  • Compliance with a legal obligation applicable to us: sometimes we need to collect and use your information in order to comply with our own legal obligations. For example, tax laws require us to keep information related to your purchases.
  • Other business purposes: this is a legal term in certain state privacy laws which means, in addition to the above purposes, that we are lawfully permitted to process your personal information for other business purposes, provided that such uses are reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purposes for which we collected or processed your personal information. These additional business purposes include auditing compliance; helping to ensure security and integrity; debugging our website to identify and repair errors; short-term, transient use, including non-personalized advertising; internal research for technology development; and activities relating to the quality or safety of services.

Q: How do we collect information from you?

This Privacy Policy applies to information that we, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare, collect from or about our customers through the methods described below. We may combine information collected via one method (e.g., a Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare website) with information collected via another method (e.g., a Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare offline program or event). We combine information to get a more complete view of our customers, which, in turn, allows us to serve you better and with more personalization. Also note that not all of the methods listed below may be relevant to you.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare websites and applications

We may collect information from you through one of our U.S. or international websites or applications. This could include (a) any site that we own and control under our own domain (such as drdennisgross.com, or some other domain name that redirects you to one of these sites), or (b) any site or web application that we may develop and run on a third-party social network such as Facebook. This could also include any site or application that we specifically design for use on a cell phone or other mobile device. This Policy will only apply if it is posted or linked to on the website or application which you are using.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare text messaging programs

We may collect information from you through one of our inbound text messaging programs. For example, periodically we may allow customers to send us inbound text messages using a short code that we create and advertise in connection with a special offer or promotion. These programs might be advertised in one of our stores or on one of our websites or applications.

Call center orders

We may collect information from you through our call centers—for example if you place an order over the phone or chat. These methods of ordering are available in the U.S. and in some locations outside the U.S. Our call centers may also collect information from you to respond to your question or comment or other follow-up request.

Email correspondence

We may collect information from you if you correspond with us via email. For example, if you send an email to our customer service department, we may obtain certain information about you (such as your contact email address) and use it to follow up.

Data collected from other sources

Occasionally, we may obtain information about you from other sources. For example, we may hire a third-party data aggregator or vendor to provide us additional information about our existing customers (this is known as “data appending”), including information from your profile or postings on a third-party social network. We may also receive information from third-party co-sponsors who we may partner with occasionally to run special promotions or giveaways. We may also receive information about customers in the event we acquire other companies. We may also receive information from other methods that are not inconsistent with this Policy.

Q: What information do we collect from you?

Depending on how you interact with Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare (online, in-store, on the phone, etc.), we may collect various types of information from you, which are described in more detail below. In some instances (and unless we say otherwise below), we may combine one type of information with another type of information and store them together in our records. In all cases, however, we strive to limit the amount of information we collect and store to that which is necessary to provide you the relevant services.

Personal contact information

This includes any information that would allow us to personally contact you, such as your name, home or mailing address, phone number, or email address.

This information may also be collected using third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) that collect data in aggregate (such as number of visits to a particular page or the amount of time spent on a site). We may also use these technologies, such as web beacons, to capture information about how users respond to certain email campaigns (e.g., time the email is opened, where users link to from that email, etc.).

Order fulfillment

We may collect and use your information to process and ship your orders, to inform you about the status of your orders, and to follow up with you about your satisfaction with the ordered products. Depending on how you make a purchase (e.g., online, in-store, call center, etc.), this could involve the collection and use of certain personal contact information, payment information, account login information, and/or information related to your purchase (such as products ordered). This could also involve the ongoing storage of your payment information to allow for easier checkout on future purchases.

Please note that there are many independent e-commerce sites and retailers that sell Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare products but that are not controlled or operated by Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. Because these sites may have different privacy and security practices than we do, we recommend that you read their privacy policies before making any purchases on those sites.

Account maintenance

We may use your information to maintain your accounts with us, including administering any customer loyalty or rewards programs associated with such accounts. This typically involves the use of the information that was originally collected to set up your account (e.g., personal contact information, payment information, account login information, demographic information, etc.).

Customer service

We may collect and use your information to provide you with customer service, including responses to your inquiries. This typically requires the collection and use of certain personal contact information (such as your name, email address) and information regarding the reason for your inquiry (e.g., order status, technical issue, product question, general question, etc.). Customer service may be provided through various forms of communication, such as email correspondence and call center support.

Product improvement and customization

We may collect and use your information so we can constantly improve our products, tailor them to your needs, and come up with new product ideas. This mostly involves the collection and use of demographic information and customer feedback.

Personalized product recommendations

We may use your information to provide you with Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare product recommendations, offers, and rewards that are tailored to your interests and profile. This mostly involves the use of your previous order history (including online or call center purchases), as well as certain demographic information (such as your favorite look, unique facial attributes, birth date, etc.).

Contests and promotions

We may collect and use your information to administer a contest, sweepstakes, giveaway, competition, or other similar marketing campaign or promotion. These events typically require the collection and use of personal contact information (for prize fulfillment), limited demographic information (for eligibility), and, in some cases, customer-generated content. Some promotions with customer-generated content or a social networking component will be run on third-party social networks such as Facebook (e.g., on Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s Facebook fan page or application). To comply with sweepstakes laws, we may publish or share limited information about promotion winners (such as name and city of residence). For more information about our contests and other promotions, please see the official rules or details posted with each promotion.

Marketing communications

We may collect and use your information to send you marketing communication, such as email communications, mobile messages (including text and/or push notifications), and postal mailings. These communications may inform you about new products, store events, special discounts and coupons, beauty tips, and other news and special offers. On occasion, these communications may also contain information or offers about third-party products.

Sending you marketing communications mostly requires the collection and use of certain personal contact information and/or demographic information. In some instances (such as for mobile messages), this may involve the use of technical information or general location information obtained from your mobile device.

You can always opt-out from receiving marketing communications either by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each such communications or by updating your device settings for mobile messages. If you have an online account with us, you may be given the option to change some of your communication preferences under the My Account section of our site or by calling Customer Service. Please note that even if you opt-out from receiving marketing communications, you may still receive other communications from us, such as order confirmations, notifications about account activities (e.g., account confirmations, password changes, website community postings, etc.), and other important announcements (e.g., product recalls, privacy policy changes, etc.).

Website personalization and convenience

We may collect and use your information to personalize your experience and save you time when you visit our websites and applications. This is typically done through the use of automated technologies (such as cookies) that collect and remember certain account login information, technical information, and/or previous website usage information. For example, we might remember your login ID or username so you can quickly login the next time you visit our site or so you can easily retrieve the items you previously placed in your shopping cart. Based on this type of information, we might also show you specific Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare content or offers that are more relevant to your interests.

Website community features

We may collect and use your information to give you access to our website community features, such as features that may allow you to upload and share ratings, reviews, questions/answers, stories, pictures, videos, or other content. This typically involves the collection, use, and (in some instances) public display of certain personal contact information, account login information, demographic information, and/or customer-generated content. Because these types of features are “communal” in nature, information you post in these areas may be visible to others. Please use caution when using these features or uploading content to a Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare site or application. For some community features, you may have the ability to control whether some parts of your profile can be seen by others and whether we send you notifications about certain community activities (like the fact that one of your questions has been answered). To access these settings, go to the My Account section of our site and login to the relevant community account. For community features that are integrated with third-party social networks such as Facebook, see separate section on “Third-party social networking” below.

Website viral features (e.g., tell-a-friend)

Where permissible under applicable law, we may request and use your information so you can use our website viral features, such as tell-a-friend. These features allow you to easily share certain Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s news, product information, promotions, wish list items, or other content with family members and friends. These features typically require the collection and use of certain personal contact information (such as email addresses and names) so that the selected message or content can be delivered to the proper recipients. In some instances, this information may be stored in our records so we can track and reward our customers for their referrals. For tell-a-friend or other viral features offered by third-party social networks (such as Facebook “Share” and “Like” features), see separate paragraph on “Third-party social networking” below.

We may collect and use your information when you interact with third party social networking features, such as Facebook Connect, Facebook Like, Pinterest, and Instagram. These tools may be embedded into our sites or applications for the purpose of running contests, allowing you to share content (such as beauty tips, articles, stories, etc.), allowing you to sign up for certain Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare accounts, or for other stated purposes. If you use these tools, we may have the ability to obtain certain information about you from your social networking profile (see the section “Social network information” above). You can learn more about how these features work, and the profile data we may obtain about you, by visiting the website of the relevant third-party social network.

We may allow third-party ad networks, such as Facebook and Google, to collect and use your information to show you ads that are targeted to reach people (or people similar to people) who have visited our website or are identified in one or more of our databases (“Matched Ads”), including Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s ads on our sites or on other sites. This is done by Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare uploading a customer list to the third-party ad network or incorporating a pixel from the third-party ad network on our website, and the third-party ad network matching common factors between our data and their data. Some of these ads may entice you to come back and revisit our site for new offers and promotions. This type of advertising typically involves an ad network collecting and tracking certain technical information (such as your IP address) and website usage information (such as your browsing history) on our sites and across many other sites on the Internet. To opt-out of receiving Matched Ads, please contact the applicable third party ad network, or you can opt-out from this type of third-party tracking at any time by going to our , to: https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, or to Global Privacy Control at https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. We may also use Facebook’s Conversion API (CAPI) or other Facebook Custom Audiences services to serve Matched Ads on Facebook services. To opt-out of your data’s being used for these Matched Ads, you should be able to hover over the box in the right corner of such Facebook ads for instructions. We are not responsible for such third-party ad network’s failure to comply with your opt-out instructions.

Other general purposes (e.g., website security, internal research)

We may collect and use your information for other general business purposes, such as to maintain the day-to-day operation and security of our websites and applications and to conduct internal marketing and demographic studies. These activities mostly require the collection and use of certain personal information, demographic information, technical computer information, website usage information, and customer feedback.

Q. How long do we retain your personal information?

We will not retain your information for any period longer than the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or longer than as required by law.

Q: With whom do we share your information?

We may share your information with the types of companies or in the situations described below. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your data to any third-party for a business or commercial purpose under any circumstances unless you specifically consent to such disclosure.

Vendors or service providers

These are outside vendors, agencies, contractors, or other service providers (collectively, “service providers”) we hire to help us run our business (e.g., fulfill orders, operate our websites, run promotions and marketing campaigns, operate our call center, etc.). The information shared with our service providers could include personal contact information, payment information, demographic information, or other types of information depending on the service being provided by the vendor. Our service providers are required by contract to only use your information for the specific tasks we’ve hired them to do, and for no other purpose. They’re also required to keep your information confidential and secure.

Legal disclosures (when necessary)

This is when we may need to share your information for law enforcement or other legal purposes. This type of sharing may be necessary in connection with a lawsuit, claim or investigation, governmental inquiry, court order, enforcement of legal rights (e.g., contract terms, intellectual property rights, etc.), safety issue, or other similar legal or security matter. Sharing your information for these reasons is not a regular event but could arise from time to time. We will strive to limit the types and amount of information we may need to share for legal purposes to that which is reasonably necessary.

Business transfers (e.g., sale or acquisition of company)

We may share (or receive) information about you, including personal contact information, in the event of an acquisition, merger, sale, corporate restructuring, bankruptcy, or other similar event that involves Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare or its parent or affiliated companies.

Affiliated brands and companies

We may share (or receive) information about you, including personal information, with our corporate affiliates, including our parent company, Shiseido Company, Limited, or other brands in the Shiseido portfolio. For additional information regarding our corporate affiliates or other brands, please see https://www.shiseidogroup.com.

Q: How do we protect your information?

We use a variety of standard methods (described below) to keep customer information confidential and secure. Please note, however, that these protections do not apply to any information you choose to share in public areas such as our website community features or other social areas.

Secure operating environments

We store your information in secure operating environments that are protected from the public and that we only allow authorized Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare employees and agents/contractors to access on a need-to-know basis.

Encryption for payment information

We use industry-standard encryption to provide greater protection for sensitive financial information, such as your credit card information or other payment information, when such information is sent to us over the web. For example, encryption is used when you make payments through our online store, as well as if you choose to have your payment information stored with us for future online purchases.

Other security measures

In addition to the methods above, we may take other measures to protect your information, depending on the sensitivity of the data and other considerations (such as how the information is collected and where it is stored). These measures may include (among other things) additional access restrictions, password requirements, and physical protections (e.g., secure data centers, etc.).

Measures you can take

Despite all our efforts, no security safeguards or standards are guaranteed to provide 100% security. It is also important for you to play a role in keeping your information safe and secure. When signing up for an online account, please be sure to choose an account password that is hard for others to guess and never to reveal it to anyone else.
