Introduction

We, L’Oreal, are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. We believe that the best way to protect the privacy of users of our website located at www.maybelline.co.uk (the "Site") is to tell you what information we gather and ensure that you understand and consent to our uses of such information.

We may occasionally modify the privacy policy and will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. We may let you know via the homepage when this happens but you should check the policy frequently to read the changes.

Please note that the Site contains links to and from other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites and the information practices of those websites are not covered by this privacy policy.

We have set out below answers to frequently asked questions regarding our privacy policy.

What information do we collect? How do we use it?

When you visit the Site, we may ask you for contact information, personal details and your email address. This enables us to provide you with information, news, services and opportunities, such as competitions, free prize draws or free product samples, you request. We may also use your personal information to track activity on the Site. We do this in order to serve you better as we understand how you and other visitors use the Site. Whenever we collect personal information we make an effort to include a link to this privacy policy on that page.

Do we share the information we receive?

We do not share your information with third parties unless we have your prior consent.

Your Choice

From time to time we may use the information we collect to notify you about important functionality changes to our Site and about other services we think you will find valuable and interesting. If you do not want to receive such notifications, simply tell us when you give us your personal information or email us at consumeradvice@uk.loreal.com.

Where will the data be stored? How secure is it?

Your information is stored on our in-house database which only our employees and agents can access. This, or the dynamics of the Internet may mean that information is sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside the country where you entered that information. While there is a risk that countries to which information is transferred will not be subject to an information protection regime as rigorous as that of the UK, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and adequately protected in accordance with this privacy policy.

Unfortunately, no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

What about "cookies" - do we use them?

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. We only use cookies to keep track of the pages you visit on the Site and to tell us whether you have visited the Site previously so that, in order to serve you better, we understand how you and other visitors use the Site.

By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. However, if you choose to reject all cookies, you may be unable to use parts of the Site.


Your Consent

By using the Site and submitting information, you consent to:-

(i) the collection and use of your personal information by us as described above; and

(ii) the transfer of your personal information to countries outside the European Economic Area.



Accuracy of Your Personal Information

You can check the information which we hold on you by emailing us at consumeradvice@uk.loreal.com. We will send you the information (as held by us) within the appropriate legal time limit and will try to send it within 14 days.
