AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

In order to ensure the security of transactions on our websites/applications/devices and protect them against fraud and misappropriation, we use a solution developed by a third-party service provider.
The fraud detection solution uses the following methods in particular: simple comparisons, association rule learning, clustering, prediction and detection of outliers using intelligent agents, data fusion techniques and various data mining techniques.

This fraud detection process may be completely automated or may involve human intervention, with the final decision being taken by an individual. In any case, we take all the reasonable precautions and guarantees in order to limit access to your personal data.

The automatic fraud detection system may result in (i) the processing of your order/request being delayed while we analyse your transaction, and (ii) you being unable to benefit from a service, or access to a service being limited if a risk of fraud is detected. You are entitled to access the information on which our decision is based. Refer to "Your rights and choices" below.

PROFILING

When we send or display personalised communications or content, we may use certain techniques referred to as "profiling" (defined as any form of automatic processing of personal data which involves using this personal data to assess certain personal elements related to an individual, in particular in order to analyse or predict elements concerning the personal preferences, interests, financial situation, behaviour, location, health, reliability, or travel habits of said individual). This means that we may collect personal data in the various contexts mentioned in the table above. We centralise this data then analyse it to assess and predict your personal preferences and/or interests.
On the basis of this analysis, we send or display communications and/or content in keeping with your interests/needs.

In certain circumstances, you are entitled to object to the use of your data for profiling purposes. Refer to the section "Your rights and choices" below.

WHO CAN ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We may share your personal data within the L'Oréal Group in order to comply with our legal obligations, prevent fraud and/or ensure the security of our tools, improve our products and services, or after obtaining your consent.
Depending on the purposes for which your data was collected, and only if necessary, some of your personal data may be made accessible to entities in the L'Oréal Group around the world, if it is pseudonymised (direct identification is not possible) and if this is necessary in order to provide you with the services requested.

We may also share your personal data in pseudonymised form (direct identification is not possible) with scientists from the L'Oréal France Research & Innovation division, including scientists outside your country, for research and innovation purposes.

If authorised, we may share certain personal data, including data collected using cookies, with our brands in order to harmonise and update information that you provide us with, compile statistics based on your specific characteristics and adapt our communications.

You can visit the L'Oréal Group website to obtain further information about the L’Oréal Group, its brands and websites.

We may share your personal data with third parties or L'Oréal group entities for prospecting purposes.

We will only share your personal data with third parties for prospecting purposes when you give your consent.

As may be relevant, in the latter case, the buyer, which will act as the new data controller, will process your data. This processing will be governed by its privacy policy.
• If we are obliged to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation or ensure respect for or application of our conditions for use/sale, or any other conditions accepted by you, or to protect the rights, property or security of L'Oréal France, its customers or employees.

  • o by L’Oréal France in accordance with this Privacy Policy
  • o by the partner, also acting as data controller, in accordance with its own terms and conditions and its own privacy policy.
• If you agree to receive marketing communications or prospecting messages from a L'Oréal France partner through a dedicated subscription/opt-in procedure (e.g. via an application marketed by L'Oréal France and made available to its partners).
