doTERRA International LLC

doTERRA International LLC operates as a Utah‑based company that specializes in the production and sale of essential oils and related wellness products. The firm is headquartered in the United States of America, with its primary operations located in Utah. Its core offerings include single‑note essential oils, proprietary blends, and complementary items such as diffusers and personal care products. doTERRA markets these goods directly to individual consumers as well as through a network of independent distributors who promote and sell the products. The company’s business model emphasizes direct sales and distributor‑driven outreach to reach a broad customer base.

In April 2016, doTERRA disclosed that a data breach occurred at a third‑party hosting provider that stored information for its customers and distributors. The breach exposed a range of personal data, including names, Social Security or identification numbers, payment card details, dates of birth, contact information, and account credentials. Although the total number of affected individuals was not publicly disclosed, the company confirmed that at least 2,330 residents of New Hampshire had their information compromised. In response, doTERRA sent notification letters to the impacted individuals and filed the required notices with multiple state attorney general offices. The incident highlighted the risks associated with relying on external vendors for data storage and processing.
