WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

We collect, process and disclose your personal data only for specific and limited purposes.

For example, to process your payments, to assess and handle any complaints, to develop and improve our products, services, communication methods and the functionality of our websites, to provide personalised products, communications and targeted advertising as well as product recommendations to you.

We also create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our brand communications (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments.

Additionally, in some instances, 4Beauty Group processes your personal data using automated means. An automated decision is a decision which is made solely by automatic means, where no humans are involved in the decision-making process related to your personal data.

More specifically we collect, process and disclose your personal data for the following purposes:

• To process your payments, if you purchase our products, to provide you with your order status, deal with your enquiries and requests, and assess and handle any complaints;
• To process and answer your enquiries or to contact you to answer your questions and/or requests;
• To develop and improve our products, services, communication methods and the functionality of our websites;
• For the purposes of competitions or promotions that you have entered;
• To communicate information to you and to manage your registration and/or subscription to our newsletter or SMS marketing or other communications;
• To manage our everyday business needs regarding your participation in our contests, sweepstakes or promotional activities or request;
• To authenticate the identity of individuals contacting us by telephone, electronic means or otherwise;
• For internal training and quality assurance purposes;

Where appropriate, we will ask for your consent to process the personal data. Where you have given consent for processing activities, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

In some cases, we rely on legitimate interest for processing your personal data. A legitimate interest could exist for example, when you sign up for a loyalty scheme with one of our brands and we use the personal data collected to conduct data analytics to improve our products or services. This ground will only be used where it is necessary to achieve a legitimate interest, for example to assist in the performance of a contract, or to optimise a service, and does not outweigh your rights as an individual. This legal basis will only be relied upon where there is no less intrusive way to process your personal data. We can assure you that if legitimate interest is used as a ground for processing your personal data, we will keep a record of this and you have the right to ask for this information.

We may contact you by e-mail, text, phone, mail, whats app, messenger or other social media.

 

PROFILING

4Beauty Group uses your personal data to build profiles. We create profiles by analysing the information about your online surfing, searching and buying behaviour and your interactions with our brand communications by building segments (creating groups that have certain common characteristics) and by placing your personal data in one or more segments. These segments are used by 4Beauty Group to personalise the website and our communications to you (such as showing relevant content to you when you visit our site or in a newsletter to you), and to display relevant offers and advertisements from the 4Beauty Group brand on the 4Beauty Group site, and via third-party websites. The segments can also be used for third-party campaigns on the 4Beauty Group site. 4Beauty Group profiles your data where you have provided consent for us to do so; for example, accepting the setting of cookies on your browser online or signing up for email newsletters from one of our brands.

You can withdraw your consent to prevent your personal data being used this way at any time by changing your browser settings, see section of our Cookie Notice or unsubscribing to the use of your email address if you have logged into one of our websites or signed up to any marketing newsletters or SMS texts.

• 4Beauty Group collects data, with your consent, from:
  • Our websites about what you view and the way you interact with our content;
  • Our digital display advertising that we serve to you on social platforms and other publisher’s websites; and
  • Forms you fill in online and send to us about what your interests are.
  • We also track the products you buy when you click on one of our display adverts and go on to purchase something from a selection of our retail partners.
  • If you have asked to receive emails or SMS communications from us, we track whether you open, read or click on the content to see what you are interested in so that we can give you more content that we think you are more likely to enjoy.
  • We use this data to profile your likes and dislikes. For instance, we may tailor our web content when you visit towards things we think you’ll be most interested in for example for your skin fitness plan/ skin analysis.
  • Based on this profile information, we may also give you advertising that we think you will like and want to see as you view content from us or from our network of publishers that we advertise with. Sometimes, with your consent, we may use your current location to serve advertising to you that is to do with promotions or events that are happening nearby that we think you might be interested in.
  • We may also use information you have provided to selected third-parties and consented to be shared, like your age, gender, life stage, lifestyle and wider interests to identify people who we think will have similar interests to you and who we believe will be interested in similar advertising.
