This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through the App, how such information may be used and/or shared with others, how we safeguard it and how you may access and control its use in connection with our marketing communications and activities. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, because by using the App you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. In addition, please review our Terms of Use, which governs your use of the App and any content you submit to the App.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT ON OUR APP Information You Provide To UsYour personal information is unknown to use unless you voluntarily submit it. When you sign up with the App, you may be asked for personal information such as, but not restricted to, your contact information (name, telephone numbers, e-mail, address, gender, birthday, city, product and/or cosmetic concerns, which brands and products you use, security information (user name and password), and images (“Personal Information”). For example, L’Oreal may collect Personal Information when you register on the App, request information, submit comments or participate in some promotion, survey or other feature of the App (as applicable), or otherwise communicate or interact with us. The App may also ask you to provide other information about yourself, such as demographic information (gender, zip code, age, etc.) or certain information about your preferences and interests. If we combine demographic or other information we collect about you with Personal Information about you, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information. To the extent the App allows you to apply to become a customer of L’Oreal, additional information may be requested and collected from you via customer application forms and other forms. If you do not want your Personal Information collected, please do not submit it.
Information We Collect AutomaticallyWhenever you use or interact with the App, L’Oreal, as well as any third-party advertisers and/or service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the App is accessed and used ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, and the preceding page views. This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the App, such as how many users visit a specific area of the App, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. This information helps us keep the App fresh and interesting to our users and tailor content to a user's interests. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if it can be associated with you as a specific and identifiable person, L’Oreal treats it as Personal Information.
L’Oreal also automatically collects your IP address or other unique identifier ("Device Identifier") for the mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, “Device”) you use to access and use the App. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a website or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. The technologies used on the App to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, include:
Cookies. Cookies are data files placed on a Device when it is used to access and use the App. L’Oreal, or our third-party advertising service providers, may place cookies or similar files on your Device for security purposes, to facilitate navigation and to personalize your experience while using the App. Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigational information, such as browser type, time spent using the App and areas visited. Cookies allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to you and display them while you are using the App. If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you may be able to change your Device settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; or set your browser or other settings that may be available on your Device to automatically not accept any cookies. However, please be aware that some features and services within the App may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your L’Oreal account(s). In addition, the offers we provide when you use the App may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.Pixel tags. A pixel tag is a transparent graphic image, sometimes called a web beacon or tracking beacon, placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed. In addition, a pixel tag may tell your browser to get content from another server. The pixel tags on the App are set only by companies we work with and supervise. In order to ensure the safekeeping of your information, network advertising companies and publishers are not permitted to directly collect information on the App.
2. HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECTL’Oreal uses the information we collect about and from you for a variety of business purposes, including for example, to: respond to your questions and requests; provide you with access to certain areas and features of the App; verify your identity; communicate with you about your account and activities within the App and, in our discretion, changes to any L’Oreal policy; tailor content, advertisements, and offers we serve you; improve the App and for internal business purposes; process applications and transactions; and for purposes disclosed at the time you provide your Personal Information or otherwise with your consent.
3. SHARING OF INFORMATIONExcept as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not provide any of your Personal Information to any third parties without your consent. We may share non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information, and Usage Information with third parties. We may also share your information as disclosed at the time you provide your information, as set forth in this Privacy Policy and in the following circumstances:
Third Parties Providing Services On Our Behalf. In order to carry out your requests, to make various features, services and materials available to you through the App, and to respond to your inquiries, we may share your Personal Information with other entities and affiliates in the family of companies controlled by L’Oreal and/or its parent company or other third parties that perform functions on our behalf, such as companies or individuals that: host or operate our App; analyze data; provide customer service; advertisers; sponsors or other third parties that participate in or administer our promotions or provide marketing or promotional assistance (such as in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, and as required by law, such as on a winners list). These service providers are given the information they need to perform their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose Personal Information for their own marketing or other purposes.
Your Agreement To Have Your Personal Information Shared. While using the App, you may have the opportunity to opt-in to receive information and/or marketing offers from our subsidiaries, affiliates, sponsors, partners, advertisers or other third parties or to otherwise consent to the sharing of your information with a third party. If you agree to have your Personal Information shared, your Personal Information will be disclosed to the third party and the Personal Information you disclose will be subject to the privacy policy and business practices of that third party.
Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or all or substantially all of our assets, or assets related to the App, Personal Information, Usage Information, and any other information that we have collected about the users of the App may be disclosed to such entity as part of the due diligence process and will be transferred to such entity as one of the transferred assets. Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information may be considered an asset of ours and as such may be sold or transferred to third parties.
Legal Disclosure. We, our affiliates and our Canadian, US, European and other service providers may provide your personal information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable Canadian, US or other law. We may also disclose personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or as otherwise permitted by law.
4. INFORMATION WE RECEIVE FROM THIRD PARTIESL’Oreal may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you are on another website and you opt-in to receive information from L’Oreal, that website will forward to us your e-mail address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to participate in a third party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook or Twitter applications or a similar application or feature on a third party website) through which you allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information. In addition, we may receive information about you if other users of a third party website give us access to their profiles and you are one of their "connections” or information about you is otherwise accessible through your “connections’” web page, profile page, or similar page on a social networking or other third party website or interactive service.
We may also supplement the information we collect about you through the App with outside records from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We may combine the information we receive from these third parties with information we collect through the App. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any Personal Information received, unless we have disclosed otherwise.
5. YOUR CHOICE AND ACCESSYou may always direct us not to share your Personal Information with third parties, not to use your Personal Information to provide you with information or offers, or not to send you newsletters, e-mails or other communications by: (i) sending us an e-mail via info@beautyforce.ca; or (ii) following the removal instructions in the communication that you receive.
You have the right to access, update, and correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information in our custody or control, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law. If you wish to access, correct, or update any of your Personal Information in our custody or control, you may edit your profile preferences or contact us at the above address or e-mail.
We have personal information retention processes designed to retain personal information of our customers for no longer than necessary for the purposes stated above or to otherwise meet legal requirements. Accordingly, we may delete certain records that contain Personal Information you have submitted through the App. We are under no obligation to store such Personal Information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such Personal Information.
6. ADVERTISING/BEHAVIORAL TARGETING; HOW TO OPT-OUTL’Oreal licenses technology to serve advertisements on the App and within its content as that content is served across the Internet. In addition, L’Oreal may use third party network advertisers to serve advertisements and third party analytics vendors to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the App and viewing of our content. We do not share Personal Information with these third parties, but ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors, and/or analytics service providers may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on your Device and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. We and our network advertisers may target advertisements for products and services in which you might be interested based on both your use of the App and your visits to other websites. We may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements.
If you prefer to not receive targeted advertising, you can opt out of some network advertising programs that use your information. To do so please visit the NAI Opt-Out Page: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Please note that even if you choose to remove your information (opt out), you will still see advertisements while you're browsing online. However the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies.
7. CHILDRENThe App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under 13 years of age. If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use or maintain his/her Personal Information without the parent/guardian’s consent.
8. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION.We have implemented reasonable technical, physical and administrative security measures to help protect your Personal Information in our custody or control. However, no electronic data transmission or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.
9. OTHER SITESThe App may contain links to other sites that we do not own or operate. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. We do not control, recommend or endorse and are not responsible for these sites or their content, products, services or privacy policies or practices. These other websites may send their own cookies or tracking devices to your Device, they may independently collect data or solicit Personal Information and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. You should also independently assess the authenticity of any site which appears or claims that it is one of our sites (including those linked to through an email or social networking page).
10. CONSENT TO PROCESSING AND TRANSFER OF INFORMATIONThe App is operated in France by L’Oreal or its service providers. Given that we are an international business, our use of your information necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. If you are located in the European Union, US or elsewhere outside of Canada, please be aware that information we collect may be transferred to and processed in the European Union and Canada. By using the App, or providing us with any information, you consent to the collection, processing, maintenance and transfer of such information in and to the European Union and Canada and other applicable territories in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as or equivalent to those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.

CHANGESPlease note, we may change information within the App and/or this Privacy Policy, at any time without prior notice to you, and any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy available within the App. However, L’Oreal will use your Personal Information in a manner consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time you submitted the information, unless you otherwise consent.
