As part of these surveys we may collect Personal Data, such as your name, preferences, experiences, beliefs, opinions, and other responses to the survey questions. We estimate that the value of your Personal Data is the value of the offer presented to you. We calculated the value by using the expense related to the offer.

In exchange for your participation you may be offered a financial incentive, such as a product giveaway. As part of these limited-time promotions or sweepstakes, we may collect your Personal Data, such as your name, email address, and phone number. We estimate that the value of your Personal Data is the value of the incentive divided by the number of entrants. We calculated the value based on the total program cost.

We estimate that the value of your Personal Data is the value of the offer presented to you. We calculated the value by using the expense related to the offer.
- Referrals: We may offer you the opportunity to refer or introduce to us another consumer, such as when you provide a friend’s email address, phone number or other contact information in exchange for a discount or rewards points. We estimate that the value of the Personal Data is the value of the offer presented to you. We calculated the value by using the expense related to the benefit. As a reminder, whenever you share another person’s information with us, you must obtain their consent (or have the legal authority to share their information with us without consent).
- Rewards Programs: We may offer you the opportunity to participate in our rewards programs, such as HBX Pro. In exchange for benefits such as free shipping and product discounts, we may ask you to sign up with the program and provide information such as your name, email address, and purchase or transaction history. We estimate that the value of the Personal Data is the value of the offer presented to you. We calculated such value by using the expense related to the benefit.
