Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 28, 2019
Last Updated: July 16, 2026
Thank you for visiting www.amycel.com (“website”), which is owned by Amycel, LLC (“Amycel,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Scope of This Policy
This privacy policy (this “Policy”) applies to information collected on the website or on other websites that are owned or controlled by Amycel, and on which we post a link to this Policy, and it applies to information collected when you access the website (“access”) and/or place an order with us (“order”) (collectively, website access and orders are referred to as the “Services”). Some of the information we collect through the Services may be “Personal Information,” meaning information that identifies you personally, alone or in combination with other information available to us. Other information may be non-personally identifiable, such as information collected by cookies.
Your Consent
By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy. However, we do not rely on your mere use of our Services as consent for data processing where explicit consent is legally required. Where required by applicable law (such as the General Data Protection Regulation for users in the European Economic Area), we will obtain your explicit, affirmative consent before collecting your personal information, placing non-essential cookies on your device, or sending you promotional marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us or updating your cookie preferences.
This Policy is Part of Our Terms of Use
This Policy is part of the Terms of Use that govern your use of the Services. A link to our Terms of Use is provided at the bottom of each page of the Services. Any capitalized terms used herein that are not defined have the same definitions as in the Terms of Use.
Privacy Notices
This Policy may be supplemented or amended from time to time by “privacy notices” posted on the Services. These privacy notices provide a level of detail that we cannot provide in this more general description of our privacy practices. For example, certain pages of the Services may contain privacy notices providing details about the Personal Information we collect on those pages, why we need that information, and choices you may have about the ways we use that information. Privacy practices related to specific contests we may offer will appear in the contest rules.
Your Consent to Other Agreements
When you sign up to use a special feature of the Services, you may be asked to agree to special terms governing your use of the special feature (“Additional Terms”). In such cases, you may be asked to expressly consent to the special terms, for example, by checking a box or clicking on a button marked “I agree.” If any of the terms of the Additional Terms are different than the terms of this Policy, the terms of the Additional Terms will supplement or amend this Policy, but only with respect to the matters governed by the Additional Terms.
Types of Personal Information We Collect
Information You Manually Provide
Amycel collects the Personal Information you manually provide (using your keyboard, mouse, or touchpad) when you use the Services. For example, we collect the information you provide when you create an account, place an order, ask us a question, or otherwise interact with the Services.
Account & Order Information
If you create an account on our website, we may ask you to provide your name, email address, and other information. If you place an order, our third-party payment processor will collect your credit card information.
Contests and Promotions
When you enter contests and/or sweepstakes you may be asked to provide your phone number and/or email address so that we can reach you in the event you win a prize.
Feedback and Correspondence
We may collect any Personal Information you submit on or through the Services when you provide feedback or contact us with questions.
User Generated Content
Some of the information you post to the Services may constitute User Generated Content. All User Generated Content must comply with our Terms of Use.
Information Others Manually Provide
In some areas of the Services, users can submit information about other people. For example, if someone orders a gift or gift card online and wants to send it directly to you, they must submit your name and address. We use this information solely to fulfill the requested order.
Information From Third-Party Social Media Platforms
You may be able to choose to register, log-on, or enhance your profile on the Services through a third-party social media platform, such as Facebook Connect. By doing this, you are asking the third-party social media platform to send us registration information from your profile on that platform. We treat this information as we do any other Personal Information you give to us. The information collected and stored by the third-party remains subject to the third party’s privacy practices.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser
We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information typically includes your IP address, the identity of your Internet service provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. We may link your IP address to account information that identifies you personally.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how visitors use the Services, support the features and functionality of the Services, personalize your experience, and serve targeted advertisements. Generally, the information we collect using these web technologies does not identify you personally unless you have created a user account.
Information from your mobile or tablet device
If you access our website through your mobile or tablet device, we may automatically collect certain information from or about your device, including device type, unique ID, IP address, operating system, and browser type.
Information About Third-Party Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising
In addition to the cookies Amycel delivers to your computer, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with the Services.
Other third parties (including HubSpot) may deliver cookies to your computer or mobile or tablet device for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors across nonaffiliated websites and delivering targeted advertisements either on the Services or on other websites. Under certain privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), this activity constitutes the "sharing" and "sale" of personal information.
You have choices about the collection of information by third parties. To opt out of interest-based advertising from many participating companies, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. California residents can also use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the website footer.

How We Share Your Personal Information With Others
Third-Party Service Providers
Amycel shares Personal Information collected through the Services with third-party service providers who act for or on behalf of Amycel to help us operate our Services, conduct promotions, or process payments. These third parties may need information about you to perform their functions but are contractually obligated to protect it.

We may transfer your Personal Information to any organization that acquires or merges with us. We will take reasonable measures to protect the Personal Information we disclose, for example, by requiring a prospective purchaser to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Do Not Track Mechanisms

However, we honor opt-out preference signals sent via the Global Privacy Control (GPC) for California residents.
