California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant their residents certain rights and require additional disclosures. This U.S. State Privacy Notice ("Notice") addresses these state-specific requirements and also serves as our California notice at collection.

We may update this Notice from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the Last Updated date above. If we make material changes, we will provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our websites and mobile apps or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review this Notice regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

Notice of Financial Incentives
We provide discounts, rewards, exclusive offers, or other benefits to customers who sign up to join our MyGerber Baby Membership or who participate in a promotional campaign.

If you decide to participate in a financial incentive, we collect personal information from you, such as identifiers (like your name and email address), commercial information (like your purchase history), and inferences. We disclose this information to our service providers, contractors, and consultants who perform services on our behalf and to our marketing and advertising partners, including for the purpose of engaging in targeted advertising and other marketing activities.
