Automated Decision Making
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.
Profiling
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.
Who may access your Personal data?
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:

- 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;
- third parties required to deliver a product to you e.g. postal/delivery services;
- third parties that assist and help us in providing IT services, such as platform providers, hosting 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.

Where we Store 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.

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.

Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

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.
Social Media and User Generated Content
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.
