1.9. We keep our privacy policy under regular review.

1.10. It is important that the information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your information changes during your relationship with us.

Third-party links

1.11. Our Platform may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our Platform, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit or app you use.

2. The data we collect about you

2.1. Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed ("Anonymised Data").

2.2. The information we collect about you depends on the particular activities carried out through the Platform. We will collect and use the following information about you:

  • "Identity Data" includes your first name, maiden name, last name, marital status, title, date of birth, gender and occupation;
  • "Contact Data" includes your billing address, your e-mail address and telephone numbers;
  • "Financial Data" includes your bank account (or similar, such as PayPal, as may be relevant from time to time) and payment card details;
  • "Transaction Data" includes details about payments to and from you as a user, and other details of services or products you have purchased from us;
  • "Technical Data" includes your internet protocol (IP) address, login data, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our Platform;
  • "Location Date" relates to geolocation data collected from any device you use to access our Platform;

  • "Special Category Personal Data" includes details about your health (including your COVID-19 vaccination status), race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, and criminal convictions or offences if ever relevant to care requested or performed by you.

2.3. We also collect, use and share "Aggregated Data" such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your information but is not considered personal data in law as this information does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific Platform feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Policy.

If you fail to provide personal data

2.4. Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with services). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us (including withdrawing your registration as a user in exceptional cases), but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

3. Location services/data

3.1. The Platform may request your consent to use location services to precisely identify your location each session.

3.2. If you do not provide your consent, you may not use the Platform. To withdraw your consent at any time, please contact us and disable the location data/services on your device (that will not affect the lawfulness of our use of that data in reliance on the consent before it was withdrawn).

3.3. We will not process your location data other than as strictly required.

3.4. The location services in the Platform will not operate unless location services/data are generally enabled on your device. You may disable such functionality at any time by disabling the location services on your device. When you allow your device to use location services/data, data will also be collected by the organisations providing the device operating system in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. How is your personal data collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

4.1. Direct interactions. You may give us your Identity, Special Category, Contact, Technical, Profile, and Financial Data by completing forms or by liaising with us by post, phone, e-mail or otherwise. This includes the personal data you provide when you:

Please see our cookie policy for further details.

4.3. Location Data. We may also use GPS technology to determine your current location and match you with local Organisations. Some of our location-enabled services require your information for the feature to work. If you wish to use the particular feature, you will be asked to consent to your data being used for this purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by disabling Location Data in your settings.

  • Identity and Contact Data from data brokers or aggregators such as Facebook, Instagram and Gmail; and
  • Identity and Contact Data from publicly availably sources such as Companies House and the Electoral Register or Organisation's business websites based inside the UK.

5. How we use your personal data?

5.1. Under data protection law, we can only use your information if we have a proper reason for doing so, for example where:

  • you have given consent;
  • we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
  • it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; or
  • we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

5.2. Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via e-mail or SMS text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us or clicking the opt-out link in the marketing message.

5.3. We have set out in the below table, a description of all the ways we plan to use your information, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

5.5. All of the personal data we collect and use from you is stored and analysed for the above, internal purposes only. We expressly do not use your personal data for marketing purposes.

5.6. We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

5.7. If we need to use your information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

5.8. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent in compliance with the above rules where this is required or permitted by law.

6. Marketing

6.1. We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

6.2. We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you.

6.3. You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us, purchased goods or services from us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

6.4. We will always treat your information with the utmost respect and never sell it with other organisations for marketing purposes. We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third-party company for marketing purposes.  If we do ask for your consent it will only be in relation to carefully selected third-parties who we think may be of interest to you due to their close connection with the beauty industry.

6.5. You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by adjusting your marketing preferences on your account on the Platform, following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

6.6. Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of purchasing a service or product, service experience or other transaction.

6.7. For more information on your right to object at any time to your information being used for marketing purposes, see 'Your legal rights' below.

7. Who we share your information with

7.1. We may have to share your personal data with the following parties for the purposes set out in the above table:

  • External Third Parties as defined in the Glossary; and
  • third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.

7.2. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Policy.

7.3. We only allow External Third Parties to handle your information if we are satisfied that they take appropriate measures to protect your information.

7.4. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

7.5. We or the External Third Parties occasionally also need to share your information with certain recipients who will be bound by confidentiality obligations as follows:

  • our or their external auditors;
  • our or their professional advisors (such as lawyers and other advisors);
  • law enforcement agencies, courts or tribunals and regulatory bodies to comply with legal and regulatory obligations; and
  • other parties that have or may acquire control or ownership of our business (and our or their professional advisors) in connection with a significant corporate transaction or restructuring, including a merger, acquisition, asset sale, initial public offering or in the event of our insolvency. Usually such information will be anonymised, but this may not always be possible.

International Transfers

8.1. Many of our External Third Parties are based outside of the United Kingdom so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside of the United Kingdom.

8.2. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the United Kingdom, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data;
  • where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the United Kingdom which give personal data the same protection it has in the United Kingdom; and
  • where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the United States.

8.3. Please contact us if you require further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the United Kingdom.

9. Data Security

9.1. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

9.2. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access the Platform, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

9.3. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

9.4. If you want detailed guidance from Get Safe Online on how to protect your information and other information and your computers and devices against fraud, identity theft, viruses and many other online problems, please visit www.getsafeonline.org. Get Safe Online is supported by HM Government and leading businesses.

10. Data Retention

10.1. We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

10.2. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

10.3. By law we have to keep basic information about our users (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

10.4. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see 'Request erasure of your personal data' below for further information.

10.5. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

10.6. In the event that you do not use the Platform for a period of ninety days, then we will treat the account as expired and your personal data may be deleted.

11.3. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

11.4. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

11.5. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

11.6. For further information on each of your Legal Rights, including the circumstances in which they do and do not apply, please contact us. You may also find it helpful to refer to the guidance from the ICO (https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/).

12. Glossary

12.1. "External Third Parties" include:

  • Service and analytics providers acting as processors who provide IT and system administration services and marketing agencies or hosts of the systems that deliver the Platform's functionalities.
  • Professional advisors acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
  • Advertisers and advertising networks such as Google and Facebook that require the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others. We do not disclose Identity Information about users to our advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregated information or anonymised data about our users. We may also use such aggregated information or anonymised data to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
  • Search engine providers such as Google that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of the Platform.
  • Payment providers who allow us to take payments via the Platform.

12.3. "Lawful Basis" includes:

  • Legitimate Interest. The interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
  • Performance of Contract. The processing of your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
  • Complying with a legal or regulatory obligation. The processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.
  • "Legal Rights" include the rights to:
  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a data subject access request). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
