“Personal data” means any information or pieces of information that could identify you either directly (e.g. your
name) or indirectly (e.g. through pseudonymized data such as a unique ID number). This means that personal data
includes things like email/home addresses/mobile phone, usernames, profile pictures, personal preferences and
shopping habits, user generated content, financial information, and welfare information. It could also include
unique numerical identifiers like your computer's IP address or your mobile device's MAC address, as well as
cookies.
L'Oréal believes that you, the consumer, are at the heart of what we do. We love hearing from you, learning about
you, and creating and delivering products that you enjoy. And we know that many of you love talking to us.
Because of this, there are many ways that you might share your personal data with us, and that we might collect
it.
We might collect or receive data from you via our websites, forms, apps, devices, L'Oréal products or brands
pages on social media or otherwise. Sometimes you give this to us directly (e.g. when you create an account,
when you contact us, when you purchase from our websites/apps or stores/beauty salon), sometimes we collect it
(e.g. using cookies to understand how you use our websites/apps) or sometimes we receive your data from other
third parties, including other L'Oréal Group entities.
When we collect data, we indicate the mandatory fields via asterisks where such data is necessary for us to:
- perform our contract with you (e.g. to deliver the products you have purchase on our websites/apps);
- provide you with the service you have asked for (e.g. to provide you with a newsletter, birthday offers or
account status); or
- comply with legal requirements (e.g. invoicing).
If you do not provide the data marked with an asterisk, this may affect our ability to provide the products and
services.
We set out further details in the table below, explaining:
- During what interaction your data may be provided or collected? This column
explains what activity or situation you are involved in when we use or collect your data. For example,
whether you are making a purchase, signing up to a newsletter, or browsing a website/app.

- How and why we may use it? This column explains what we may do
with your data and the purposes for collecting it.
- What is the legal basis for using your personal data?
This column explains the reason we may use your data.
Depending on the purpose for which the data is used, the legal basis for the processing of your data can be:
- Your consent;

- Improvement of our products and services: more specifically, our business
interests to help us better understand your needs and expectations and therefore improve our

For purposes of securing transactions placed through our websites/apps/devices against fraud and
misappropriation, we use third party provider's solution(s).The method of fraud detection is based on, for
example, simple comparisons, association, clustering, prediction and outlier detections using intelligent
agents, data fusion techniques and various data mining techniques.
This fraud detection process may be completely automated or may involve human intervention where a person takes
the final decision. In any case, we take all reasonable precautions and safeguards to limit access to your data.
As a result of automatic fraud detection, you may (i) experience delay in the processing of your order / request
whilst your transaction is being reviewed by us; and (ii) be limited or excluded from the benefit of a service
if a risk of fraud is identified. You have the right to access information on which we base our decision. Please
see “Your Rights and Choices” section below.
When we send or display personalised communications or content, we may use some techniques qualified as
“profiling” (i.e. any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using those data to evaluate
certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning
that natural person's personal preferences, interests, economic situation, behaviour, location, health,
reliability, or movements). This means that we may collect personal data about you in the different scenarios
mentioned in the table above. We centralize this data and analyse it to evaluate and predict your personal
preferences and/or interests.
Based on our analysis, we send or display communications and/or content tailored to your interests/needs.
You have the right to object to the use of your data for “profiling” in certain circumstances. Please see “Your
Rights and Choices” section below.
We may share your personal data within L'Oréal Group to comply with our legal obligations, to prevent
fraud and/or to secure our tools, to improve our products and services, or after having obtained your
consent to do so.
Depending on the purposes for which they were collected, and only on a need-to-know basis some of your personal
data may be accessed by L'Oréal Group entities worldwide, where possible in a pseudonimized way (not allowing
direct identification), and where necessary to provide you with requested services.
We may also share your personal data in a pseudonimized way (not allowing direct identification) with L'Oréal
Research & Innovation scientists, including those located outside of your country, for research and
innovation purposes.
Where permitted, we may also share some of your personal data including those collected through Cookies between
our brands to harmonize and update the information you share with us, to perform statistics based on your
characteristics and to tailor our communications.
Please visit the L'Oréal group website, for further details on the L'Oréal
Group, its brands and its locations.
We may share your personal data for marketing purposes with third party or entities of the L'Oréal
Group.
We only share your personal data with third parties for direct marketing purposes with your consent. In this
context, your data is processed by such third party, acting as a data user, and its own terms and conditions and
privacy notice apply. You should carefully check their documentation before consenting to the disclosure of your
information to that third party.
Your personal data may also be processed on our behalf by our trusted third party providers.
We rely on trusted third parties to perform a range of business operations on our behalf. We only provide them
with the information they need to perform the service, and we require that they do not use your personal data
for any other purpose. We always use our best efforts to ensure that all third parties we work with keep your
personal data secure. For instance, we may entrust services that require the processing of your personal data
to:
- third parties that assist and help us in providing digital and e-commerce services such as social listening,
store locator, loyalty programs, identity management, ratings and reviews, CRM, web analytics and search
engine, user generated content curation tools;
- advertising, marketing, digital and social media agencies to help us to deliver advertising, marketing, and
campaigns, to analyse their effectiveness, and to manage your contact and questions;

services, maintenance and support on our databases as well as on our software and applications that may
contain data about you (such services could sometimes imply access to your data to perform the required
tasks);
- payment service providers and credit reference agencies for the purpose of assessing your credit score and
verifying your details where this is a condition of entering into a contract with you; and
- third parties that assist us for customer care and post-market surveillance purposes.
-
We may also disclose your personal data to third parties:
- in the event that we sell any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the
prospective buyer of such business or assets. If L'Oréal or a part of its assets is acquired by a third
party, personal data held by it about its customers relating to those assets is one of the transferred
assets. Where appropriate, in such case, the buyer acting as the new data user processes your data and its
privacy policy governs the processing of your personal data;
- if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation,
or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use/sales or other terms and conditions you have agreed to; or
to protect the rights, property, or safety of L'Oréal, our customers, or employees
- if we have your consent to do so; or
- if we are permitted to do so by law.
We may disclose your personal data to our partners:
- in the event the service you subscribe to was co-created by L'Oréal and a partner (for example, a co-branded
app). In such case, L'Oréal and the partner process your personal data each for their own purposes and as
such your data is processed:
- by L'Oréal in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and
- by the partner acting also as a data user under its own terms and conditions and in accordance with its
own privacy policy;
- in the event you agreed to receive marketing and commercial communications from a L'Oréal partner through a
dedicated opt-in (for instance, through an App branded by L'Oréal and made available to its partners). In
such case, your data is processed by the partner acting as a data user under its own terms and conditions,
and in accordance with its privacy policy; and
- we may publish on our supports content from social networks. In the event you consult content from social
networks on our website/apps, a Cookie from such social network may be stored on your device. We invite you
to read the Cookie Policy of these social networks for more information.
We do not offer or sell your personal data.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, accessed from, and stored at a destination outside Hong
Kong SAR. It may also be processed by staff members operating outside the Hong Kong SAR who work for us or for
one of our service providers.
L'Oréal transfers personal data outside of the Hong Kong SAR only in a secure and lawful way. As some countries
may not have laws governing the use and transfer of personal data, we take steps to make sure that third parties
adhere to the commitments set out in this Policy. These steps may include reviewing third parties' privacy and
security standards and/or entering into appropriate contracts.
For further information, please contact us as per the “Contact” section below.
How Long Do We Keep Your Personal data
We only keep your personal data for as long as we need it for the purpose for which we hold your personal data,
to meet your needs, or to comply with our legal obligations.
To determine the data retention period of your data, we use the following criteria:
- where you purchase products and services, we keep your personal data for the duration of our contractual
relationship;
- where you participate in a promotional offer, we keep your personal data for the duration of the promotional
offer;

(e.g. for the duration of a session for shopping cart cookies or session ID cookies) and for a period
defined in accordance with local regulations and guidance.
We may retain some personal data to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, as well as to allow us to
manage our rights (for example to assert our claims in Courts) or for statistical or historical purposes.
When we no longer need to use your personal data, it is removed from our systems and records or anonymised so
that you can no longer be identified from it.
We are committed to keeping your personal data secure, and taking all reasonable precautions to do so. We
contractually require that trusted third parties who handle your personal data for us do the same.
We always do our best to protect your personal data and once we have received your personal data, we use strict
procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. As the transmission of information via
the internet is not completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site. As
such, any transmission is at your own risk.
Our websites and Apps may from time to time contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks,
advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have
their own privacy policies and that we are not responsible or liable for these policies. Please check these
policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
We may also offer you the opportunity to use your social media login. If you do so, please be aware that you
share your profile information with us depending on your social media platform settings. Please visit the
relevant social media platform and review its privacy policy to understand how your personal data is shared and
used in this context.
Some of our websites and Apps allow users to submit their own content. Please remember that any content submitted
to one of our social media platforms can be viewed by the public, so you should be cautious about providing
certain personal data e.g. financial information or address details. We are not responsible for any actions
taken by other individuals if you post personal data on one of our social media platforms and we recommend that
you do not share such information.
