Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 27, 2026
Introduction
DPhiant Corporation, a Delaware corporation (DPhiant, we, us, or our), provides cosmetic products, including a blemish care product containing 2% salicylic acid, and operates websites, social media pages, and other online services (collectively, the Services). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard Personal Information. This Policy applies to Personal Information we process about consumers, website visitors, customers, creators, influencers, and other individuals located in the United States and, where applicable, the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland.
Key Terms
Personal Information means information that identifies, relates to, describes, can be associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household, as those terms may be defined under applicable law (e.g., GDPR personal data, CCPA personal information).
Sensitive Personal Information includes data such as precise geolocation, account log-in credentials, payment card information with security code, health information, racial or ethnic origin, and other categories defined by applicable law.
Controller means DPhiant when we determine the purposes and means of processing Personal Information.
Processor means a third party that processes Personal Information on our behalf pursuant to our instructions.
Scope and Eligibility
This Policy covers Personal Information collected through the Services, at our events, through our customer service channels, and from third-party partners. It does not apply to job applicants or employees, which are covered by a separate notice, or to information that is de-identified or aggregated. Business-to-business contact information (e.g., from wholesale or retail partners) is within the scope of this Policy to the extent it constitutes Personal Information under applicable law. Independent contractor creators and influencers are covered by this Policy, not by the employee notice. Where applicable law permits requests at the household level, we will respond to verifiable household-level requests in accordance with such law.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We may use automated tools to analyze Personal Information for purposes such as fraud detection, content personalization, and marketing segmentation.

Cookie lifespans vary by category; session cookies expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies remain for up to 13 months unless you delete them sooner. For visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, we deploy a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that presents a granular, opt-in consent mechanism for all non-essential cookies before they are set. Consent is freely given, specific, informed, and withdrawable at any time through our Cookie Settings. For all other visitors, you can manage preferences via our Cookie Settings and through your browser or device settings. Some features may not function if you disable non-essential cookies.
User Generated Content and Creator Terms
By submitting, posting, or tagging content to us or our handles, or by responding to our request to use your content with a hashtag such as #DPhiant, #iamDPhiant, #YesDPhiant or similar, you grant DPhiant a worldwide, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display your content in any media now known or later developed for marketing, advertising, promotional, and operational purposes related to the Services, without additional approval or compensation, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
You may request withdrawal of this license by contacting us at hello@dphiant.com with the subject line "UGC Withdrawal." Upon receipt of a verified withdrawal request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to cease new uses of your content within thirty (30) days; however, the license shall survive with respect to content already distributed, published, sublicensed, or incorporated into materials prior to the effective date of withdrawal. Where your content contains Personal Information and you exercise a right to erasure under applicable data protection law (including GDPR Article 17), we will process the request in accordance with the applicable legal framework, which may require deletion of the content from our systems to the extent technically feasible.

Children’s Privacy
Children Under 13. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13.

For consumers between 13 and 15, such authorization must come from a parent or guardian; consumers aged 16 or 17 may provide their own opt-in. Where we have actual knowledge that a user is a minor, we apply heightened protections, including limiting targeted advertising and profiling directed at minors.
Voidable Sales to Minors. DPhiant may accept orders from minors under the age of 18. Such transactions may be voidable at the election of the minor or their parent or guardian to the extent permitted by applicable law. If a transaction is voided, we will promptly delete or return the Personal Information collected in connection with that transaction upon request, unless retention is required by law.
UK Age Appropriate Design Code. For users under 18 located in the United Kingdom, we design our Services with the best interests of the child in mind, in accordance with the UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code). We apply age-appropriate default privacy settings, minimize data collection, and do not use personal data in ways that are detrimental to the child's well-being.
