Information We Collect
You can visit our website and learn about our products without providing personal information. However to participate in our website clubs, or special offers or personalize your interactive experience, you need to register.

When you register at this website, we will collect your email address, your first name and your parent's email address. (Please note that when we use the term parent, we mean a parent or a legal guardian.)

We only use your parent's email to notify them that you registered for this program. We give your parent an opportunity to remove you from the program if they don't want you to participate.

We also ask your parent to provide additional personal information about you, such as a postal address, so you can request and receive samples.

If your parent did not provide us with the additional personal information when you first registered, you may ask us to obtain your parent's consent for you to provide that information directly to us. We will collect your parent's email address to send them a note explaining how they can provide their consent for you to provide the information directly to us.

We do not use your parent's email address for any other purposes than to send these messages.

P&G believes it is important to provide added protection for children online. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children to participate in and monitor their online activity.

When someone under 13 registers for this program we collect ONLY their first name and their email address, and your email address. We use your email address to let you know that your child registered. We also provide you the method to remove your child if you do not want them to participate in this program. Though your child has immediate access to beinggirl, you have the option to remove her from the program at anytime by responding to the email link provided in the message, or using the contact information below. When you remove your child from the program, she will no longer have access to beinggirl, and her information will be automatically deleted. You can remove your child from the program at any time.

When we notify you that your child has registered for our program, we ask you to provide additional personal information for them, so they may request and receive product samples. If you do not provide that information, your child can still participate in the online portion of our program but will not be able to request or receive samples.

If at a later time, your child wants us to contact you so that we may obtain your consent to collect additional personal information directly from them, we will collect your email address from them to send you a note explaining how you can provide your consent for your child to provide the information directly to us.

We do not use the parent email address that your child provided for any purpose other than to notify you that your child registered for this program or to request your consent to collect additional information from your child.

We only collect additional personal information from persons under the age of 13 if we have obtained parental consent to do so.

Personal information is information that can identify you such as your full name, your e-mail address or postal address. We collect personal information to provide you information and samples you request, give you a customized interactive experience, and help us develop new products and services that meet your needs.
