We view privacy as a serious matter and we strictly adhere to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”) including the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act (the “APP”) (as applicable in Australia) and the Privacy Act 1993 (as applicable in New Zealand). It is important for you to understand what information we collect about you when you provide us your personal information and what we do with that information.

We will collect, disclose, handle and use personal information as described in this Privacy Policy, as authorised by you and/or as required or authorised by law. By providing your personal information to us or using any website owned and/or operated by Conair (each a “Site”) and our applications, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Collection of Personal Information

We will usually collect your personal information directly from you wherever it is reasonable and practicable to do so in the circumstances. We may also collect personal information from selected third parties (such as service providers or business partners) and via other methods, where you have consented to this and as permitted by law.

We may collect personally identifiable information about you when you contact us with questions or complaints, purchase our products, use our Sites or our applications or participate in one of our offers/promotions, including online (via Sites or applications), via phone, via fax, via email, in person, via mail or otherwise.

• your name, mailing address, email address, telephone or mobile number, e-mail or mailing address; · payment details such as your credit card number and billing information;
• other information that you provide to us such as gender, date of birth, age group and product preferences.

For example, if you decide to complete a survey or the registration of a product warranty, you may be asked to provide certain information such as your contact information (name, e-mail address, telephone number and mailing address), gender, birth date, age group and product and/or cosmetic concerns, and the brands and products you use. Similarly, if you use one of our applications, you may be required to create an account by providing your name, email address and other details as requested.

Unless stated otherwise to you, we do not collect sensitive personal information such as political or religious beliefs, heath status, ethnic background or sexual preference.

While we endeavour to only collect personal information from you directly, we may also collect information from the following sources that you may be unaware of including:

• Third parties (via agencies on our behalf or our Internet service provider);

If you choose not to provide that information, then we will not be able to send you information or products we would otherwise send to you that may be of interest to you and/or you may not be able to access or use some of our services, products, Sites or applications. In the case of choosing not to register an product warranty you will not be eligible for any prize that is offered to those who register their warranties.

We may contact you in relation to the above via electronic messaging such as SMS and email, by mail, by phone or in any other lawful manner.

When you visit our Site(s), use our applications or view one of our e-mails, we may use pixel tags (also called "clear" gifs) and/or similar technology to note some of the pages you visit on our Sites or applications and personalise your experience. We may also use pixel tags to determine what

types of e-mail your browser supports. We may use the information collected through pixel tags in combination with your personally identifiable information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We may also use the information you provide in aggregate form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans.

We confirm that any such third parties that may be provided with access to personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions, may not use such information for any other purpose. Such third parties may also use the information collected in aggregate form for their internal business purposes, such as generating statistics for marketing materials.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties Outside Australia

Personal information which we collect and hold is stored within our locally housed data servers in Australia. However, we utilise some cloud-based service providers for specific functions, such as email and accounts, who may store certain information on our behalf on servers based in the United States of America. These service providers are engaged pursuant to terms of service requiring stringent privacy compliance in respect of this data.

We may collect, store or accumulate certain non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of our Sites and applications, such as information regarding which of our Site pages are most popular. We may share or transfer such non-personally identifiable information with or to our affiliates, licensees and partners. This may include disclosure of such non-personally identifiable information to overseas recipients for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy. The countries where these overseas recipients are located are the US, Canada and New Zealand.

In all instances of overseas disclosure, we shall ensure that the transfer of your personal information is carried out in accordance with all applicable privacy and data protection laws.

Except as outlined above, we do not generally disclose personal information to entities located outside of Australia, unless we advise you otherwise.

5. Cookies and Log Files

We may place a "cookie" on your computer's hard drive so we can recognize you as a return user and personalise your experience. A cookie is a piece of data that enables us to track and target your preferences. The cookie will be stored on your computer's hard drive until you remove it. You can have your browser notify you of, or automatically reject, cookies. If you reject our cookie, you may still use our Sites, but you may be limited in the use of some of the features. Some of our business partners may also use cookies on our Sites and applications. However, we have no access to, or control over, these cookies and do not accept any responsibility for such use.

In addition, we may use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer our Sites, track traffic patterns, and gather demographic information for aggregate use. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we will not use IP addresses in combination with your personally identifiable information without your prior consent.

With most Internet browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. If you want to do this, refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more.

6. Links

Our Sites and applications may contain links to or from other websites and applications. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and applications. This Privacy Policy applies only to the information we collect. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of other websites or applications you link to from our websites or applications or otherwise visit. That is, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such websites and such websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement policy applicable to the website(s) in question.

7. Storage and Security

As noted above, we may store personal information on internal computer databases, local hard drives and/or in hard copy at our offices. We may also engage third party service providers to assist in storing and processing certain types of personal information for us.

Any information that we no longer use is destroyed. The exception to this may be information required for possible data analysis at a future date, or information we are legally required or advised to hold for specific time periods. Wherever possible, the information will be retained in a form that does not allow you to be identified. If you have applied for a position with us and have been unsuccessful, your application and associated documentation will be held for a period of three (3) months after the position that you applied for is filled, and then destroyed unless you request that this information be held in case other positions, that you would like to be considered for, arise in the future.

The security of your information is important to us. When we have collected information about you it cannot be seen or modified by anyone other than those authorised to access the

information for the purposes stated above. We will endeavour to make reasonable efforts to ensure information is stored securely in electronic form and to keep this information accurate, up to date, complete and relevant. We ensure only those necessary have access to your personal information. Electronic and managerial procedures have been put in place to reasonably secure any information collected from misuse, interference or loss, and in order to prevent unauthorised access, modification to or disclosure of that information. We utilise systems, services and third party platforms to manage and store your personal information that are located outside of Australia. However, we will never lose effective control of your personal information. If you have any questions about security, you can send an e-mail to aus_info@conair.com.

8. Business Transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell certain of our assets. In such transactions, user information, including personally identifiable information, generally is one of the transferred business assets, and by submitting your personal information to us you agree that your data may be transferred to such parties in these circumstances.

9. Notification of Changes

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised policy here. We suggest that you periodically consult this Privacy Policy. All changes are effective from the date of posting the revised Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Site(s) after the Privacy Policy has been varied or by otherwise providing your information to us, you agree to be bound by the variation.

10. Choice/Opt-Out/Access/Correction/Complaints

When you complete a feedback form or one of our surveys, you may opt-out of receiving future e-mail communications from us. You may change your e-mail preferences at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each e-mail you receive from us or by e-mailing us at aus_info@conair.com.

You may gain access to your personally identifiable information held by us or correct that information at any time on reasonable notice. If you make a request for more detailed personal information, for example, access to information held in archives, you may incur a reasonable fee to cover the cost of retrieval and the supply of this information to you (we will notify you if any fee is applicable and any such fee will only be applied in accordance with the applicable laws).

All requests for access to personal information will be handled as quickly as possible and we shall endeavour to process any request for access within thirty (30) days of having received the request. However, some requests for access may take longer than thirty (30) days to process depending upon the nature of the personal information being sought.

Note that we may be required by law to retain personal information for a period of time after you have ceased your relationship with us, and will treat such information in accordance with the applicable law.

We are not always required to provide access to personal information upon request. Access may be refused in a number of circumstances, subject to the applicable law, such as:

• Where the information may relate to existing or anticipated legal proceedings;
• Where required or authorised by law;
• Where the request is regarded as frivolous or vexatious.

If access is denied, we will explain why.

If you have a concern or complaint in relation to our handling of your personal information or you believe that we have breached the Privacy Act and/or the APP in Australia, the Privacy Act 1993 in New Zealand or any other applicable privacy laws or codes, you can contact us via the details below. We will investigate your concerns and will respond to you in writing as soon as possible (usually within fourteen (14) working days).
