You may access or interact with our Services through a number of different vehicles, such as through a computer, mobile phone, tablet or other devices, as well as in-person. This Privacy Notice governs your use of our Services regardless of how you interact with us. By using or accessing our Services, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Notice.
This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you through our Services as well as any other third-party services or products that link to this Privacy Notice.
This Privacy Notice forms part of Dr. Brown’s Terms and Conditions of Use..
What’s covered by this Privacy Notice?
This Privacy Notice applies to and describes the information that Dr. Brown’s collects and uses when you interact with our Services, whether you interact with us as a customer, website visitor, participant in one of our programs, or otherwise. This Notice also discusses how Dr. Brown’s Medical collects and uses information, which is described in its own section below called “Dr. Brown’s Medical.” This Privacy Notice does not cover, and we are not responsible for, third-party websites or applications that may be linked from the Services we provide. We encourage you to read the Privacy Notice of every website and mobile application that you visit or use.
Throughout this Notice, we refer to the term “Personal Information.” Personal Information is information that identifies, relates to, or is reasonably capable of being associated with an individual person or household. This can be, for example, a name, street address, email address, or unique device identifier, among other things. Personal Information does not include information that has been aggregated or de-identified, or information that is publicly available and lawfully collected.
Information Collection
We collect information from individuals in various ways, including when you provide information to us directly, through automatic data collection technologies, and from third parties and publicly available sources. We may collect information about you through one or multiple of these ways. The below subsections describe the three ways that we may collect information from or about you.
Information You Provide to Us Directly
When you create an account, purchase a product, participate in a program, sweepstakes, or survey that we offer, sign up for email communications, contact us or communicate with us, or otherwise submit your personal information to us, we collect information from you directly. We may collect any of the following types of Personal Information (“Personal Information”) directly from you when you use or interact with our Services:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Mailing address
- Age or date of birth
- Gender
- Number of children you have
- Information about your pregnancy and delivery, such as your stage of pregnancy, your due date, or how far along into your pregnancy you gave birth
- Approximate location information

- Information about products you have purchased from us, and your shopping habits
- If you enter and win a sweepstakes we offer, we collect tax information and other information from you to comply with our obligations and to provide you with your sweepstakes winnings
- Any other information you voluntarily submit to us
- Any other information you consent to disclose at the time we collect it
In addition to the Personal Information listed above, we may also collect non-personal information (for example, breast pump warranty information) directly from you. We may combine this non-personal information with Personal Information we’ve collected from you to associate the non-personal information with you. When we combine the information so that it all relates to you, we will treat it as Personal Information.
Because our business primarily serves parents and children, we may also collect information from you about your child. We only collect this information when you voluntarily provide it to us, and thus, consent to the collection of information from or about your child. We may collect any of the following types of information about your child, when you choose to provide it to us:
- Name
- Height and weight
- Age or date of birth
- Gender
- Information about your child’s birth, such as whether they were born premature
- Information about your child’s eating habits, such as whether they have any difficulty feeding or eating, what stage of feeding they are at, and similar information
Information We Automatically Collect
We may automatically collect certain Personal Information or other technical data from your computer or mobile device when you use our Services. We receive information from your device, including but not limited to IP address, web browser, operating system, mobile operating system version (to the extent applicable), and unique device identifiers. We may also collect and store your browser settings and preferences.
Additionally, we may automatically collect information about your interactions with our Services and may combine this information with other information about you in order to customize your online experience with us. The information we automatically collect may include your IP address, referring URLs, browser and device characteristics, browsing behavior (e.g., date and time of visit, length of visit, clicks on product information or other content, etc.) and your response to our email campaigns (e.g., whether and when you open our email, the links you click, etc.).
We may use cookies, and other similar industry standard technologies to automatically capture this information. A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer or device. Among other things, cookies allow us to improve the effectiveness and facilitate the administration of our Services, as well as further tailor and enhance your experience to your interests. You may set your browser to decline cookies. If you do so, you may not be able to experience certain interactive features of our Services fully. For information on how our websites use cookies and similar technologies, please review our Cookie Policy.
We may also use third-party analytics companies, such as Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics or Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), to analyze the usage of our Services for internal purposes. These analytics companies may use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to collect data about how you use our Services and provide us with aggregate information on such usage, which helps us improve the performance of our Services. Please review Google’s privacy policy, Adobe’s privacy policy, or AWS’ privacy policy to learn more about each company’s privacy practices.
We may also permit other third parties to gather information automatically on our Services for advertising purposes, as described below in the Interest-Based Advertising section.
Information We Collect from Third Parties and Publicly Available Sources
We may also collect information from third parties or information that is publicly available. This generally occurs when you direct the third party to share the information with us, such as when you link your social media account to our services, among other examples. For more information about this, please see the below section titled “Social Platform Registrations and Social Media Plugins.” We may also collect information from third parties or that is publicly available regarding your online or social media activity. For more information on our targeted advertising practices, please see the below “Interest-Based Advertising” subsection.
Combining Information
We may combine the information we collect from one source with the information we collect through a different source. For example, we may combine the information we collect directly from you with information we receive from third parties about you. We may also combine Personal Information we collect from or about you with non-personal information. Where Personal Information is combined with non-personal information so that it identifies or relates to you, we will treat the information as Personal Information.
Further, we may combine the information you provide about your child with the information we have collected about you, so that we can associate your child with your information. This means that we may associate your mailing address with your child, where you have provided information about your child, for example.
Aggregated or De-Identified Information
Some of the information we collect may be in aggregate or de-identified form, or we may take steps to aggregate or de-identify information we have collected from you so that the information does not personally identify you or your household. Aggregate and de-identified information is not Personal Information. We will not attempt to re-identify any de-identified or aggregated information.

Interest-Based Advertising
We may allow third parties to use cookies and other online tracking tools to better understand your behavior and browsing activities. We utilize these third party cookies and tools so that we can provide you with interest-based advertising (also referred to as “targeted advertising” or “cross context behavioral advertising”) while utilizing our Services and display our ads to you when you visit other sites. These third parties may passively collect information with these tools so that content specific to your interests can be delivered to you online.
You can prevent your receipt of interest-based ads by deleting and declining cookies in your browser or via our cookie consent manager. If you disable all cookies except for necessary cookies, which cannot be disabled, certain features on our websites may not work. Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective in mobile applications. However, on many mobile devices, application users may opt-out of certain mobile ads via their device settings. If you are a California or Virginia resident and are interested in exercising rights you may have regarding this practice, please see the section below titled “Notice to California and Virginia Residents.” To understand your choices for receiving interest-based advertising on our website or across other websites and online services, please review the below information:
- To learn more about such interest-based advertising, and to opt out of such collection and use for interest-based advertising by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) participating companies, please visit: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Not all companies are participants in the DAA, so this may not opt you out of all interest-based advertising.
- To opt out from the use of information about your online activities for interest-based advertising by Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) member companies, please visit: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Not all companies are participants in the NAI, so this may not opt you out of all interest-based advertising.
- To opt-out of the use of your mobile device ID for targeted advertising, please visit: http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices.
- On your mobile device, you may also be able to adjust your privacy and advertising settings to control whether you want to receive more relevant advertising.
If you opt-out using one of the above methods, you may still receive advertising from us (or from other websites and companies) that is not customized based on your information.
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Our Services do not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created.
Surveys
While visiting certain features of our Services, you may be given the opportunity to provide feedback regarding various Dr. Brown’s products. You may be given opportunities to rate Dr. Brown’s products and to publicly ask and answer questions pertaining to Dr. Brown’s products. In order to fully participate in these portions of our Services, you may be asked to provide your full name and an email address, and to create an online username which will be publicly linked to your product ratings, questions, answers and other comments. You will be required to agree to our Terms and Conditions of Use which require you, among other things, to verify that you are over the age of 18. You may also be prompted to submit additional voluntary information that is not required to participate, such as specific age range, gender, the state or city that you live in, address, phone number, website, and the length of time which you have used Dr. Brown’s products. This information may be linked to your chosen username to associate it with you. Dr. Brown’s maintains this additional voluntary information, if provided, and later uses it to help us better understand and respond to the collective feedback we receive.
Ordering
If you place an order through our Services, we must obtain Personal Information from you relating to the order, including your name, billing and shipping addresses, order information, and your email address to confirm your order and shipping. We use a third-party service to facilitate transactions and process payments, so we do not collect any payment or financial information other than your billing or shipping address, and potentially the status of payment (such as, that you paid for a product on a certain date). Personal Information and payment information will be collected directly by our third-party payment processing service in order to process your payment. Their privacy policy, rather than or in addition to this Privacy Notice, may also apply to the information they collect from you. If you submit any Personal Information relating to other persons to us or to our service providers in connection with the use of our Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
Newsletter and Email Communications
If you choose to sign-up for our newsletter or email communications, you must submit certain basic information during the registration process so that we can fulfill this request. This information may include Personal Information, such as your email address, and a confirmation that you are over 18 years old. This information is used to send the newsletter or email communications electronically, and to ensure that we can provide you with appropriate customer service and respond to your inquiries.
Social Platform Registrations and Social Media Plugins
Some of our Services permit you to use a third-party social networking platform such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube to connect to or with our Services. This includes the use of social media plugins such as the Facebook “Like” button, Twitter “Tweet,” Pinterest “Pin,” buttons, and other plugins we may add from time to time. When you use these social networking platforms and plugins in connection with our Services, your Personal Information that is collected by or associated with these social media platforms may be shared with us. If you mention or reference us on social media, we may ask your permission to repost your Facebook, Instagram story, or Twitter quotes on our Services. If you agree, you grant us the right to use your posts on our Services for promotional purposes.
When you use social networking platforms and plugins, you share your Personal Information with them, In addition, these platforms may be able to collect information about you, including your activity on our Services, and they may notify your connections on the social networking platform about your use of our Services. Please note that when social media platforms collect information about you through linking our Services to theirs, or through plugins, their privacy policies and applicable terms of use apply. We encourage you to read any applicable privacy policies and terms of use before providing your information to third parties, even if that third party is linked to or accessible from our website.
Dr. Brown’s Medical
Dr. Brown’s and its parent company, Handi-Craft, have certain agreements with hospitals so that Dr. Brown’s products may be used in hospital settings, and in hospital studies and research groups. We have these partnerships in order to conduct research and studies about our products so that we develop them to be more effective. Dr. Brown’s does not receive protected health information (“PHI”) or Personal Information related to individual patients from these hospitals. Dr. Brown’s employees do not have access to any patient information collected and retained by the hospitals Dr. Brown’s partners with. All information that Dr. Brown’s receives under these agreements with hospitals related to patients is de-identified or aggregated so that it does not identify or relate to an individual consumer or household.
Our medical division also works directly with parents in order to conduct market research about the effectiveness of our products, when parents opt to participate in these optional programs. For example, if you agree to participate, we may collect information about the effectiveness of our bottles or feeding tools with your premature or NICU baby, or about your baby who has various feeding issues or difficulties. We may ask you to provide information about your due date, discharge date, feeding date, how many weeks prior to term your baby was born, and similar information to help us understand the effectiveness of our products in specific situations. Providing us with any of this information is entirely optional, and all participation in these programs is strictly optional and voluntary. When parents choose to share photos or videos of their child with us (for example, so we can see the progress their child has made while using our products), we will also collect this information. Again, all of this information collection is entirely voluntary.
We also provide support and education materials for parents so that they can learn effective techniques for caring for their baby. However, Dr. Brown’s and its parent company, Handi-Craft, do not provide medical advice. Parents and users of Dr. Brown’s Medical’s services must seek medical advice and opinions from their medical provider of choice.
Information collected and used by Dr. Brown’s Medical is segregated from information collected by other business units of Dr. Brown’s. Dr. Brown’s Medical does not share information with other business units of Dr. Brown’s, and does not share or disclose any information collected by Dr. Brown’s Medical for targeted advertising purposes.
The “Information Collection and Use” and “Information Sharing and Disclosure” sections of this policy do not apply to Dr. Brown’s Medical information, and Dr. Brown’s Medical has different collection, use, and disclosure practices from the rest of Dr. Brown’s due to the nature of the data collected by Dr. Brown’s Medical. The Dr. Brown’s Medical collection, use, sharing, and disclosure practices are outlined in this section. The remaining sections of this policy, including how Dr. Brown’s safeguards and retains your data, and rights you have regarding your data, still apply.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We may share your Personal Information with the following types of third parties:
Our Brands, Affiliates and Subsidiaries. We may share your Personal Information with the brands, affiliates, and subsidiaries of Handi-Craft Company.
Service Providers. We utilize third parties to perform services on our behalf, which may require us to share your Personal Information with them to perform the services. These third party service providers are obligated to keep your information confidential and only use it as necessary to perform services for us. For example, we may share your information with our agencies to help us administer a sweepstakes or other promotion; deliver content, samples, products, gifts, and prizes; or provide you with customer service. When you make a purchase through our Services, we may share your information for order fulfillment and payment processing.
Network Advertisers. We disclose Personal Information to third parties for network advertising purposes.

If you are a California or Virginia resident and would like to know more about these practices, please see the below “Notice to California and Virginia Residents” section.
Legal Compliance Recipients. We may also share your information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law or a government request; to prevent damage or injury to users or others, or to protect our rights.

Others with access may read, collect and use that information. When you publish information, including any Personal Information, in public forums, you assume the risk that your information may be read, collected and shared by such other parties.

Dr. Brown’s adheres to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other applicable state privacy laws with provisions that relate to child data, and does not knowingly register or otherwise collect Personal Information from any child under the age of 16 without the prior verifiable consent of the child’s parent or guardian. Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, parents have the right to review and have their child’s Personal Information deleted from our records. Parents also have the right to tell us to stop collecting or using their child’s personal information, where we have done so. To exercise these options, parents may email, call, or write to us via the information listed in the Contact Us section below. Please reference “COPPA Information Request” when making a request.

We may also update this Privacy Notice from time to time if our privacy practices change.
