Your Privacy Choices
Control How Your Information Is Used for Advertising
This page lets you control whether we share your information with advertising partners for personalized ads. We believe in transparency and giving you control over your data.
What this page covers:
• What "targeted advertising" means
• How your information might be shared
• How to opt out of data sharing
• Your rights under U.S. state privacy laws (if applicable)
What is targeted advertising?
When you visit our website, we may collect information about:
• Pages you view and products you browse
• Items you add to your cart
• Your general location (city/region, not exact address)
• Device type and browser you're using
We may share this information with advertising partners like:
• Google Ads
• Facebook/Instagram
• TikTok
• Other advertising platforms
Why? To show you relevant ads when you're browsing other websites or social media.
Example: If you looked at our aluminum-free deodorant but didn't buy it, you might see an ad for it later on Instagram. This reminds you about products you were interested in.
Under some privacy laws (like California's CCPA), sharing data with advertising partners may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information—even though we don't receive money directly for your data.
What we share:
• Browsing behavior (pages viewed, time spent)
• Products you've shown interest in
• General demographic information (age range, location)
• Device identifiers (cookies, advertising IDs)
What we DON'T share:
✗ Your name, email, or phone number (unless you interact with an ad)
✗ Your exact address
✗ Payment information
✗ Order details or purchase history
✗ Account passwords or login credentials
Purpose: To show you relevant ads and measure ad effectiveness
You have the right to opt out of:
• Targeted advertising based on your browsing behavior
• Sharing your information with advertising partners
• "Sale" of your personal information (as defined by privacy laws)
What happens when you opt out:
✓ We'll stop sharing your browsing data with ad partners
✓ You'll see fewer personalized ads from us
✓ You'll still see ads, but they won't be based on your behavior
✓ Your shopping experience on our site won't change
✓ You can still make purchases and use your account normally
What doesn't change:
• We'll still use your data to process orders
• You'll still receive order confirmations and shipping updates
• We may still show you ads, just not personalized ones
• Analytics for improving our website (anonymized data)
How to Opt Out:
Use the form below to opt out on this specific browser and device.
Important notes:
• This opt-out only applies to THIS browser on THIS device
• If you clear your cookies, you'll need to opt out again
• If you use multiple devices (phone, tablet, computer), opt out on each one
• If you use multiple browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), opt out in each one
How it works:
We'll set a cookie that tells our advertising partners not to track you. This cookie needs to stay in your browser for the opt-out to work.
If you have a LeanHygiene account, you can opt out across all devices by providing your email address in the form below.
Benefits:
✓ Opt-out applies to all devices where you're logged in
✓ Opt-out persists even if you clear cookies
✓ Easier to manage your preferences
How it works:
We'll update your account settings to prevent data sharing with advertising partners, regardless of which device you use.
We honor Global Privacy Control signals from your browser.
What is GPC?
It's a browser setting that automatically tells websites you want to opt out of data sharing.
How to enable it:
• Use a browser that supports GPC (like Brave, Firefox, or DuckDuckGo)
• Enable the GPC setting in your browser preferences
• Visit our website—we'll automatically detect and honor your preference
