Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION
Anisa International, Inc. along with its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Anisa,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets forth how Anisa collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes the personal information we collect. This Policy applies to information we collect via our websites (referred to here as the “Sites”), emails, and otherwise whether through online or offline means.
INFORMATION COLLECTION
Personal Information
The term “personal information,” refers to information that identifies, relates to, describes or can be reasonably associated with an individual. The personal information we collect about you depends on your relationship with us. For example, we collect the following personal information in the following contexts:
- Customers: From both B2B and B2C customers, prospective customers, and registered account holders, we may collect contact and account information such as name, email, phone number, billing address, shipping address, payment information, social media handle, username, and password. From members of our Anisa Pro Program, we may also collect information about your professional credentials and licenses, government-issued identification such as your driver’s license, and date of birth. We may also collect any information you provide on our Sites (e.g., product reviews, chats, etc.) or our social media pages, or any information you otherwise provide to us such as in survey responses.
- Website visitors: From visitors to our Sites, we may also automatically collect information about your computer or mobile device and your user activity when you visit our Site. Some of this information (e.g., IP addresses) may constitute personal information. This is discussed further below in the “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” section.
- Job applicants: From job applicants, we collect contact information, employment and education information, and other information you provide during the hiring process. We may also collect protected classification characteristics and citizenship information during the hiring process.
Sources of Collection
The personal information we collect may come directly from you when you provide it to us or indirectly from you by monitoring your use of our Sites. We may also collect personal information from third parties such as our advertising partners and retail and ecommerce partners that sell our products—this may include inferences regarding your consuming tendencies. We may also combine the personal information we collect to create a more complete view of your preferences for our products.
COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the hard drive of your computer. We—and our third party partners and service providers (such as advertising networks, analytics providers and social media platforms and networks)—use cookies and similar technologies such as tracking pixels and web beacons to collect information about the use of the Sites and how you interact with emails we send, including IP address (which is often considered personal information), geolocation data, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, information about how and when you use the Sites, and other technical details. Depending on the Site you visit, we may be using some or all of the following types of cookies:
- Necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Sites.
- Functionality cookies. These cookies remember choices you make and are used to recognize you when you return to the Site.
- Analytics cookies. These cookies collect information about how you use the Sites. They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around within the Sites.
- Advertising cookies. These cookies are used to track your online activity and deliver personalized advertisements.
Some of our Sites use third parties to assist us in analyzing data regarding visitors and delivering personalized advertising. For example, we use Google Analytics to collect information such as the number of visitors to a site, the webpage that referred visitors to a site, and the pages visitors view within a site. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by downloading Google’s Opt-Out Browser Add-on. These third party advertisers may use tracking technologies to track you across websites and serve you advertisements for Anisa within other websites you may visit (i.e., targeted advertising).
We also use Hotjar in order to better understand our users' needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a third party technology service that helps us better understand our users' experience (e.g., how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don't like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users' behavior and their devices. This includes:
- Device's IP address (captured and stored only in anonymized form)
- Device screen size
- Device type (unique device identifiers)
- Browser information
- Geographic location (country only)
- Preferred language used to display our website
Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you use your browser settings to block all cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our Sites.
Some internet browsers have “Do Not Track” or “DNT” features which, when turned on, send a signal to the website that the individual visiting the website does not wish to be tracked. Our Sites do not honor DNT signals, but you can adjust your cookies settings as described above.
Depending on your state of residence, you may also have the right to opt-out of targeted advertising activities. See further discussion below under the section titled “Your Privacy Rights.”

DATA RETENTION
We retain the personal information described in this Privacy Policy for as long as needed to satisfy the purpose for which it was originally collected or for which there is a legitimate business purpose.

If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
The personal information we collect about you may be transferred to countries other than the country from which you provide the information. The personal information protection laws of other countries might be different from the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside, and might permit courts, government, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies and security authorities to access your personal information without notice. Where necessary, we utilize a valid data transfer mechanism, such as the European Union Standard Contractual Clauses, to facilitate international data transfers. To obtain a copy of these clauses or additional information on transfers, please contact us at the contact information listed below.

European Privacy Rights
This section provides additional disclosures for individuals that reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom (UK). For the purposes of the data described in this Policy, Anisa is the “controller” of your personal information.

We may also process personal information where necessary for our compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject. We also reserve the right to process personal information in the event we believe doing so is necessary to protect the rights of the data subject or another person.
