A more detailed description of the information We collect and how We use this information (including through use of AI) is available in the “How We Collect and Use Personal Information” section of the detailed Privacy Notice.
When Do We Share Personal Information?
We do not ‘sell’ (as ‘sell’ is traditionally defined) personal information about Our consumers (e.g., name, phone number, email address, other personal information) to third parties in exchange for money. However, like most companies, We do share personal information with third-party advertising and social media networks. They use it to show You ads for products You might like. Various state privacy laws (such as those in California, Texas, Colorado, etc.), legally treat this kind of information sharing as (1) a ‘sale’, (2) a ‘share’ or ‘use’ of personal information for targeted advertising, or (3) both, even though no money changes hands. You may have the right to opt-out of this use. Specific information on these activities is available in the “About Our Advertising” section of the detailed Privacy Notice.
To exercise the right of opt-out where available in Your area You may use one or more of the following ways:
- Offline Settings: Scroll to the bottom of Our Site and click the “Your Privacy Choices” link to submit a request about offline (non-browsing) personal information.
- Online Settings: Click the “Online Preferences” link in the Site’s footer and change the settings about online (browsing) personal information.
- Automatic Browsing Signals: Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser or extension setting. When enabled it tells websites You do not want personal information about You sold or used for targeted ads. We recognize GPC as valid requests to opt-out of the sale/sharing of personal information and targeted advertising in the U.S. states that require this (e.g., California, Texas, Colorado, etc.). Here is how it works:
- If You did not log in or a log in is not available: We will opt You out for only that specific browser.
- If You did log in (where available): We will also apply this choice to the offline beauty profile the Brand maintains about You.
We share personal information with third parties (vendors, agencies, and businesses) that help Us run Our Sites, Our business, and retail Our products to further L’Oréal’s beauty mission. When you interact with a Brand, we share or make available personal information about You with other Brands. Other members of the L’Oréal Group may access personal information about You when they perform services on behalf of L’Oréal USA and, unless prohibited under applicable law, for use on their own behalf for the purposes described in this Notice. We disclose information to Our service providers, to complete a transaction requested by You, when required by law or authorities, and in case of a sale or reorganization of Our company. Some of Our virtual beauty tools run on Microsoft’s AI technology. When You use these tools, what You type or upload (and the AI’s response) may be stored (up to 30 days) to check for misuse. Microsoft may review this information by a real person for safety purposes. More information is available about how We share personal information about You in the “How We Share Personal Information” section of Our detailed Privacy Notice.
How Long Do We Retain Personal Information?
For marketing purposes, if You do not engage with a Brand for five (5) years, We will delete or de-identify/anonymize the Brand’s beauty profile (unless we are legally required to keep it). We will otherwise retain personal information about You for so long as Your account is active, you engage with Us, as needed to provide You services, and as necessary to comply with Our legal and/or regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, to manage Our rights, and to enforce Our agreements.
We do not control certain privacy settings and preferences supported by Our social media partners like Meta. If You wish to make changes to those settings and preferences, You may do so by visiting the settings page of the appropriate social media site.

Information about Our Advertising (including Interest-Based Advertising):
We provide tailored and personalized content, services, advertisements and offers, including based on personal information We know about You as well as Your beauty characteristics and preferences. While the beauty profile with each brand is kept separately, We create groups of consumers with shared characters or interests (called audience segments) that pulls from all Brands, which We use to decide who sees which ads.
We take part in interest-based advertising as discussed in greater detail, below. We use third party companies to serve advertisements tailored to Your individual interests based on how You browse and shop online, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as measuring the performance and engagement with Our ads, as well as to provide analytics, preference, and interest information.
- Use of Cookies
Companies like ad network providers, social platforms, and/or analytics providers place their own tracking technology (“Cookies”) on Our Site and on other non-L’Oréal Sites. They use these Cookies to capture information about Your device, use, and engagement online. They use information collected to build profiles of Your interests and understand Your habits to show You ads (for Our products or for products or services of other companies) on other sites or to other devices connected to You (cross-device advertising) based on preferences or interests known or inferred from the data collected through Cookies. They also use this information to limit the number of times You see an advertisement, measure the effectiveness of advertising, and improve their products and optimize their own ad targeting systems.
Additionally, We work with companies like Google and Meta to share some personal information (typically an email or phone number) You entered on the Site in a non-readable format called hashing. The third-party compares the hash to its own records to see if there is a match without Us directly exposing directly identifying details. If there is a match, We can use this information to optimize Our advertising campaign(s), choose whether or not to serve an advertisement to the matched individual on these platforms, conduct analytics (e.g., better inform where to place Our advertisements), and measure the effectiveness of Our advertising.
We (or Our ad partners) may also recognize Your information across different devices that You use or log in from (i.e., computers or mobile devices.). We (or a third party described above) may recognize that one Cookie or device ID (i.e., from a computer) may be connected to another device (i.e., smart phone) by the Cookie or device ID or log in. This may result in You searching for one of Our products on one device but seeing an ad later for that product on another device. Knowing what devices are being used by a person or household helps Us (or a third party from whom we buy advertising) limit the number of times You may see the same ad across different devices.
We use Google Analytics Advertising Features to help show You more relevant ads on other websites, based on how You use Our Site. These features allow Google Analytics to collect data for advertising purposes, including collecting data via marketing cookies and identifiers (including via third-party cookies such as Google advertising cookies). Specifically, we have enabled these Google features:
- Remarketing with Google Analytics: Advertising based on Your behavior on Our Site. For example, if You viewed a product but did not buy it, You may later see an ad for that product elsewhere.
- Google Display Network Impression Reporting: This enables tracking how and where Our ads appear across the Google advertising network.
- Demographic and Interest Reporting: This enables the tracking of background and preferences of visitors to Our Site. It provides data on age, gender, and interest categories to help Us better understand our Site visitors.
We use Google Signals. If You are signed into Your Google account and have allowed it, Google connects Your activity on Our Site with other Google data (like location data, Your search or YouTube history, or data from sites that partner with Google) to help Us understand how You use Our Site across devices and to improve Our ad targeting.
We provide information about third parties that set Cookies on Our Site related to the above on Our Cookie Disclosure Page, which is current as of the date listed.
- Beauty Profile (Offline) Information
We collect personal information about You as described in this Notice, and We centralize this personal information and analyze it to evaluate and attempt to figure out Your personal preferences, interests, or needs. When We send or display personalized communications or content, We use personal information in one or more beauty profiles a Brand or Brands maintain about You (e.g., internet and network browsing information, basic identifiers, online identifiers, contact data, preferences data, physical characteristics, health and medical information, demographic data, user generated content, geolocation, inferences, commercial/purchasing information) to send or display communications or other content We believe You would like to see. For example, based on information We collect We may conclude that You are interested in certain products and services We provide, and then We send or display communications or content tailored to those preferences, interests, or needs.
We work with third-party platforms, including social media platforms, to show you advertisements or measure the effectiveness of our advertisements on other websites or social media platforms (e.g., Google, Meta, Snapchat, Amazon, Pinterest, TikTok). We (by ourselves or with Our service providers) create audience segments, including through algorithmic recommendations using internal or third-party machine learning or artificial intelligence models.
We will distribute these audience segments by:
(A) Matching: We convert personal information about You into a coded ID (so it cannot be read directly) and share that code with a third-party. The third-party compares the code to its own records to see if there is a match without Us handing over Your name, email, or other directly identifying details.
For example, the third party can compare the identifier to identifiers in its own database. If there is a match, We can use this information to optimize Our advertising campaign(s), choose whether or not to serve an advertisement to the matched individual on these platforms, conduct analytics (e.g., better inform where to place Our advertisements), and measure the effectiveness of Our advertising. We can also use and provide an identifier to advertising technology companies (like demand side platforms) to serve You with advertising on websites that take part in online auctions of their ad inventory; or
(B) Secure Data Sharing: We use a secure, restricted environment where neither side can see the other’s raw data (sometimes called a clean room) that allows Us and a third-party measure ad performance, develop shared insights about Our mutual customers, and to build and distribute audience segments.
We make available information about third parties with whom We share audience segments on Our Audience Segment page, which is current as of the date listed.
Other Purposes. We collect and use any personal information We collect for other legitimate purposes, such as Our day-to-day business operations, to analyze and improve Our business, for corporate governance, and to follow laws and regulations. For these purposes, We may use any categories of personal information collected by Us.

We use personal information We have collected for other purposes needed for day-to-day operations, such as accounting, collecting payments due and owing to Us, financial reporting, business analytics, operational and strategic business planning, real-estate management, and expense management.
- Corporate Governance. We also use any personal information We collect for planning, managing, and carrying out restructuring, redundancies, or other change programs, evaluating or conducting a merger, sale of a business unit, restructuring, reorganization, dissolving, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information by Us is among the assets transferred.
- Compliance with Laws & Regulations. We use personal information We collect to comply with local, state, and federal laws; enforce Our legal rights and obligations; and for any purpose related to legal claims, reports of violations, or allegations made by, against, or involving, Us, and to the otherwise comply with lawful requests by public authorities, e-discovery requests or where required or permitted by applicable laws, court orders, government regulations, or regulatory authorities.

Other Third Parties (Ad Networks and Advertising Companies):
We share or make available personal information (such as identifiers, Internet or similar network activity, commercial information, inferences) with third party marketing and advertising networks and social media platforms to serve You tailored and personalized advertisements on other websites and services and across other devices as outlined in “Information About Our Advertising”.
Sharing this information may count as a ‘sale’ or ‘share’ or use of personal information for targeted advertising under some state laws, and You may have the right to opt-out. Please see Privacy Rights Available under State Laws for more information.
Some of Our Sites have features such as plugins, widgets, or other tools provided by third parties. These tools collect identifiers along with internet or similar network activity (e.g., IP address and what page You are visiting). If You engage with such plugins, widgets, or other tools, other information may be shared. For example, if You use Facebook’s “like” feature, Facebook may register the fact that You ‘liked’ a product and may post that information on Facebook. This use of information is not governed by Our privacy notice.
These companies use personal information they receive to improve their own products and improve their own ad targeting systems.
L’Oréal Group; Business Transfers:
As noted in the “What Personal Information We Collect & Use Section of this Notice”, We also share information about You, including information collected through cookies (and similar technologies) between Our L’Oréal USA family of Brands to harmonize and update the information We maintain about You, including to perform statistics based on Your characteristics, and to tailor Our communications.
Other members of the L’Oréal Group access information about You when they perform services on behalf of L’Oréal USA and, unless prohibited under applicable law, for use on their own behalf for the purposes described in this Notice. Please visit the L’Oréal Group website, for further details on the L’Oréal Group, its brands, and its locations.
As We continue to develop Our business, We (or Our affiliates) may sell or purchase assets, reorganize or restructure Our company, or be acquired by, merged with, or invested in by another company. If another entity buys Us or Our assets, or assets related to the Sites or Our business, personal information, and any other information that We have collected may be disclosed to such entity as one of the transferred assets. If We’re planning on these types of major business transactions, We will need to share personal information about You with the professionals involved, such as lawyers, auditors, lenders, and other third-party advisors to help plan or complete the transaction.
Finally, 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; Security and Protection of Rights:
L’Oréal USA may transfer and disclose information, including personal information about You, in several circumstances. First, comply with a legal and compliance obligation. Second, when We believe in good faith that the law requires it. Third, when a government agency requests it as part of an investigation. For example, We may disclose personal information in response to subpoenas, courts orders, and other lawful requests by regulators and law enforcement, including responding to national security or law enforcement disclosure requirements. This may include regulators, government entities, and law enforcement. In addition, it may include certain disclosures that We must make under applicable laws, such as making available (including to the public) names of sweepstakes or contests winners.
We may disclose personal information where We believe doing so is necessary to protect the services, Sites, Our rights and property, or the rights, property, and safety of others. For example, We may disclose personal information to (i) prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to fraud, unauthorized activities and access, illegal activities, and misuse of the services and Sites; (ii) situations involving potential threats to the health, safety, or legal rights of any person or third party; or (iii) enforce, and detect, investigate, and take action in response to, violations of Our Terms of Use. We may also disclose personal information related to litigation and other legal claims or proceedings in which We are involved, as well as for Our internal accounting, auditing, compliance, recordkeeping, and legal functions.
- How Long We Retain Personal Information
We keep personal information in the beauty profile kept by a Brand for marketing as long as You are active with that Brand. If you have not interacted with a Brand after five (5) years, such as not logging in, not purchasing products, or not opening a Brand’s emails, We will delete or de-identify/anonymize the personal information in that Brand’s beauty profile used for marketing unless We are required to keep it for legal reasons or Our legitimate business purposes.
Outside of the beauty profile We will retain personal information about You for as long as Your account is active, You engage with Us, as needed to provide You services, for Our legitimate business purposes, as necessary to comply with Our legal and/or regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, to manage Our rights, and to enforce Our agreements.
In accordance with Our routine record keeping, We may delete certain records that contain personal information You have submitted through the Sites. We are under no obligation to store such personal information forever and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such personal information. In addition, You should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all information about You from Our databases without some leftover data because of backups and other reasons.
We do not control certain privacy settings and preferences maintained by Our social media partners like Facebook and X. If You wish to make changes to those settings and preferences, You may do so by visiting the settings page of the appropriate social media site.

SMS Marketing Text Messages:
We may send marketing text messages if You have agreed to receive them from one of Our Brands. Your agreement to receive SMS messages from one Brand does not mean agreement to receive messages from other Brands.

If you unsubscribe from one of Our marketing text message programs, You may continue to receive text messages from Us or other L’Oréal brands through any other program You have joined until You separately unsubscribe from those programs (which may include non-marketing text messages).
Push Notices; Uninstallation of Mobile Apps:
You may at any time opt out from push notifications or allowing Us to access location data by adjusting the permissions in Your mobile device.

You can stop all further collection of information by Our mobile applications by uninstalling the mobile application.

Geo-Location and In-Store Location:
You may prevent Your mobile device from sharing Your location data by adjusting the permissions on Your mobile device or within the relevant app.
Cookies, Tracking, and Interest-Based Advertising:
We use Google Analytics Advertising Features to share information with Google about Your use of this site to allow Us to deliver relevant and personalized advertising or content to You on other websites as outlined in Information About Our Advertising. In short: this lets Us show You more relevant ads on other websites based on how You use Our Site. You may learn more about how Google Analytics processes information here: Google Analytics Terms of Use and Google Privacy Policy. You may download and install the Google Analytics Browser Add-on, which allows You to disable Google Analytics across all websites.
You can opt out of receiving targeted advertising through Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out page. Options are Device-specific, so if You use multiple devices, You should opt out on each one. You can also opt out of certain targeted advertising programs by clicking on the AdChoices icon that may appear on Our advertising. Even if You opt-out of targeted advertising, You may still see Our advertisements while You are browsing, but they may not be targeted to You based on Your interests.
Some social networks (such as Facebook), allow You to exercise ad choices, limit data collection and clear Your history on that platform as well.
Do Not Track & “Global Privacy Control”:
Browser ‘Do Not Track’ Signals: Some web browsers offer a general “Do Not Track” setting. Since there is no industry-wide standard for how companies should respond to it, We do not currently act on it.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) Signal: The GPC Signal is a specific, newer signal. We recognize the GPC signal as a valid request to opt-out of the sale/sharing of personal information and targeted advertising in the U.S. states that require such recognition ((e.g., California, Texas, Colorado, etc.). Please see ‘Privacy Rights Available under State Laws’ for details.
Retail Analytics Services:
Related to analytics used in Our retail locations, You may opt-out of having a mobile device counted in statistics. You may opt-out by visiting this website.

To submit this request please contact Us using the toll-free number in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Only You or a person that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a request related to personal information about You. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of Your minor child.
The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows Us to reasonably verify You are the person about whom We collected personal information or an authorized representative of the person who wishes to make a request.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require You to create an account with Us.

We will use information You provide to submit a request only in connection with the request. We may ask you to provide more personal information so that we can properly identify You. If You choose not to provide this information, We may only be able to process Your request to the extent We are able to identify You in Our systems.
We will try to respond to a verified consumer request within 45 days. If We require more time, We will inform You of the reason and extension in writing (including by email).
