This includes information collected offline in our stores or through our customer services, and online through our websites, applications (including mobile apps) and third-party platforms (together referred to as “Sites”).

This Privacy Policy also applies to our targeted or personalised content, including online offers and advertisements for products and services, which you may see on third-party websites, platforms and applications (together referred to as “Third-Party Sites”) based on your online activities. These Third-Party Sites may have their own privacy policies and terms and conditions. We encourage you to read them before using those Third-Party Sites. 

1. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS WITH YOUR DATA?

We are responsible for processing your personal data on our Sites. 

2. HOW DO I MAKE ENQUIRIES ABOUT MY PERSONAL DATA?

3. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data generally refers to information that can directly or indirectly identify you ("Personal Data"). This typically includes information such as your name, address, email address, and telephone number, but can also include other information such as IP address, shopping habits, information about health and beauty, and information about your lifestyle or preferences such as your hobbies and interests. Health information falls under a special category of Personal Data that requires special protection due to its sensitivity. 

4. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PERSONAL DATA OR WHEN WE OTHERWISE RECEIVE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We collect your Personal Data directly in a number of ways, for example, when you provide us with your information to register as a customer on our Sites or as a member of any of our loyalty programs, register for prize draws, games or competitions, subscribe to our newsletters, receive information or mailings, use our applications, buy a product or service from us, complete a survey, complete a beauty or health diagnostic test, make a comment or enquiry or contact our customer services.

When you provide us with your Personal Data, we will process it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not wish us to process your Personal Data in this way, please do not provide us with your personal information. We may also receive your Personal Data from other sources, including information from commercially available sources, such as public databases and data aggregators, and information from third parties. If you do not want us to receive your Personal Data from other sources, please communicate your preferences directly with the relevant sources.

We process your Personal Data to provide you with our services as further explained below. In certain instances, we only process your Personal Data if you have given us permission, with your consent or indication of no objection to do so, for example in most cases where we process your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, use Cookies (as defined in Clause 6.2 below) or location data or where we process your sensitive personal information. In other instances we may rely on other legal grounds for processing your personal data, such as performance of the contract with you or legitimate interests, like fraud prevention. 

If you become a member of any of our loyalty programs, we may infer in a transparent manner - and only where permitted by applicable laws - that you would like us to process your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. You can always opt out of marketing communications without detriment to your loyalty benefits.

Where we process your Personal Data on the basis of your consent, we will ask for your consent explicitly and only for a particular purpose. We will also ask you to provide additional consent if we need to use your Personal Data for purposes not covered by this Privacy Policy.
