We rely on third-party service providers to perform a variety of services on our behalf. In so doing, we may need to share your personal information with them. Please note that we provide our service providers with only the personal information they need to perform their services and we require that they protect this information and will not use it for any other purpose. We may rely on a service provider to:

• Fulfill your product and service requests and answer your questions
• Host our sites and deliver our email and mobile messages
• Mail product samples, contact contest winners, manage payments or take other actions on our behalf
• Analyze data, sometimes combined with other sources, to send more targeted communications to you or, at your request, for your customers
• Conduct research and analyze data to improve our products, services and sites
• Perform other services that we request

We provide these companies with the personal information they need to provide these services on our behalf. We require these companies to protect this personal information and to not use the information for any other purpose.

• For purposes of recognition and awards
• To facilitate mentorship and connection within the independent sales force community

We may also disclose your personal information:

• In order to provide first class Golden Rule Service around the globe, we may share personal information with other Mary Kay entities through a protected environment.
• When required by law, and/or public authorities.

We may share aggregated information that does not identify you for general business analysis. For example, we may disclose the number of visitors to Mary Kay sites or services.

We may transfer personal information to Mary Kay databases in countries other than where it was provided. Our Global Privacy Program requires the same high level of security and protection of personal information in all geographies with procedures and contracts in place to help ensure this is so. Data may be transferred to a vendor or business partner to provide services for Mary Kay, such as mailing information or samples. These vendors and business partners are required to protect and manage the personal information to the same high standards Mary Kay does, and they cannot use the information for purposes other than to provide the services Mary Kay has requested.

Mary Kay protects personal information under company control by industry standard security practices and measures, in order to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration of the information. We limit access to personal information to those who have a business need for such information. We do not keep personal information any longer than necessary to meet the business purpose for which it was collected, though in some cases, contractual, legal or regulatory reasons require that personal information not be deleted for certain time periods.

If you have any concerns or questions about the security of your information in connection with Mary Kay or any of our web sites, or if you have any additional questions relating to Privacy at Mary Kay please contact Customer Service in your market or:
