You should review their cookie and privacy policies before giving them your personal information.

OUR PRIVACY UNDERTAKINGS TO YOU

+

We want to provide you with certainty that your personal information is being treated with care and safety, and feel comfortable to share information with us. We therefore promise to:

  1. Respect your privacy and your choices.
  2. Make sure that privacy and security are embedded in everything we do.
  3. Give you full control over receiving communications from us. You can change your mind at any time.
  4. Remain committed to keeping your personal data safe and secure. This includes only working with trusted partners.
  5. Be open and transparent about how we use your personal data.

WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

+

“Personal data” means any information or pieces of information that could identify you either directly (e.g. your name) or indirectly (e.g. through pseudonymised data, such as a unique ID number). This means that personal data includes things like email/home addresses, usernames, profile pictures, personal preferences and shopping habits, User Generated Content, financial information, and health information. It could also include unique numerical identifiers like your computer’s IP address, as well as cookies.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU AND HOW DO WE USE IT?

+

Our aim is to give you a personalised experience as much as possible when you engage with us. This could be while scrolling our website, placing orders, signing up for rewards programmes or even completing surveys or entering competitions.

How do we collect or receive your personal data?

There are many ways we may collect or receive your personal data, including via our websites, forms, apps, devices, third party sellers or our brand pages on social media. Sometimes you give this to us directly (e.g. when you create an account, when you contact us, when you purchase from our websites or stores or when you enter a competition or promotion), sometimes we collect it (e.g. using cookies to understand how you use our websites and apps) or sometimes we receive your personal data from other third parties including other Huda Beauty Group entities (e.g. when you mention Huda Beauty products or services on non-Huda Beauty pages or social media platforms or smart devices, e.g. voice assistant platform providers).

The table below sets out which legal basis we rely on when processing your personal data.

To explain what a ‘legal basis’ is – under data protection laws, the legal basis for the processing of your personal data can be:

  • Your consent – where we ask for your agreement to use your personal data for a specific purpose.
  • The performance of a contract – where we need to process your personal data to provide you with a service or something under an agreement we have with you, or as part of preparing to enter into an agreement with you. An example of this would be the purchase of a product.
  • Our legitimate interests – where the use of your personal data is in our legitimate business interests, e.g., tailoring experiences for you based on your shopping preferences, responding to customer service requests.
  • To comply with a legal obligation – where we need to use your personal data for our own legal and regulatory compliance reasons (e.g., to comply with our tax and financial reporting obligations).

When we collect personal data, we will indicate which types of personal data are mandatory via asterisks (eg.mandatory information to allow us to create your account or deliver the goods you have purchased on our websites/apps). If you do not provide the personal data marked with an asterisk, this may affect the goods and services that we can provide.

What ways could we collect your personal data? What data may we hold about you? How and why we may use it? What is the legal basis for being able to process this data?

A Note on Sensitive Personal Data

The processing of special categories of personal data (or ‘sensitive personal data’) is limited to data made public by you or a third party on your behalf, or where you have given us consent to use such information. For example, we may need to understand your health, including dietary requirements, when preparing access and catering for an event you are attending, or when handling a query or complaint made by you. We will always check such requirements with you and you only need to provide the information you are comfortable with us using.

Automated Decision Making

Automated decision making means the ability to make decisions using technology, without human involvement.

We may use automated decision-making techniques for the purposes of securing transactions placed through our websites/apps and/or devices against fraud. In addition, we may use a third-party provider’s solution to protect our systems, assets, etc. against fraud.

The method of fraud detection is based on several different data prediction and data intelligence techniques that may change over time, to keep up with technological advancements. These may include, for example, simple comparisons, or association, clustering, prediction and outlier detections using intelligent agents, data fusion, and data mining techniques. This fraud detection process may be completely automated or may involve some human intervention where the final decision is taken by a person. In all cases, we take all reasonable precautions and safeguards to limit access to your data.

Tailoring Interests to You

To be able to send or display personalised communications or content, we may use a technique known as insights. This means we use automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects about an individual, such as to analyse or predict aspects concerning personal preferences, interests, economic situation, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

We do this to build Insights about you (‘Your Insights’). Your Insights include things such as: what you like, dislike, are passionate about and interested in, in addition to the information we know about you through your relationship with us, for example, products you have bought from us or been interested in, events and competitions you have attended or entered, and campaigns you have been interested in. We may collect personal data about you in the different scenarios mentioned in the table above and use this data to send or display communications and/or content specifically tailored to your interests and/or needs – both directly to you or through our use of social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

We ensure that we have an appropriate legal basis to process your personal data when conducting profiling activities. You may have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for insights purposes.

Joint Controllers

We are always responsible for personal data that we collect about you. In some cases, for example, when we collaborate with our trusted partners, we may be jointly responsible with those partners for protecting your personal data.

Our data protection commitments as joint controllers are as follows:

  • We will agree on the respective roles and responsibilities of each party involved;
  • We will make sure that both parties are transparent about the joint purposes for processing your personal data, and explain how your personal data is used for these purposes;
  • We will make sure that you are always able to exercise your legal rights.

Where we work jointly with another party, we will inform you about your rights and other important information at the point we ask for your personal data.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

+

Selling Personal Data

We would not sell your personal data for Huda Beauty’s financial gain except in the case of a potential sale of the whole or part of the business. However, California law may characterise our sharing of personal information with companies that provide services to us, such as companies that help us to market or advertise our products and services to you, as "sales”. We may “sell” or may have “sold” the following categories of personal information for valuable consideration in instances where we offer you financial incentives such as discounts and special offers when you provide us with contact information and identifiers such as your name and email address. When you sign up for our loyalty or professional programs, email list or other discounts and special offers, you opt-in to a financial incentive. You may withdraw from a financial incentive at any time by opting out from our emails or closing your loyalty or professional member account. Generally, we do not assign monetary or other value to personal information; however, California law requires that we assign such value in the context of financial incentives. In such context, the value of the personal information is related to the estimated cost of providing the relevant financial incentive(s) for which the information was collected.

Sharing Personal Data Within the Huda Beauty Group of Companies

Where appropriate, we may share your personal data between our Group of Companies to build a central record, keep the information we hold about you up to date (for example, you may be a Customer of more than one of our brands), tailor our communications with you and to run analytics and perform statistics. This includes sharing your profile.

Access within the Huda Beauty Group will always be controlled on a need-to-know basis to fulfil our contractual obligation with you (such as to refund you), or to allow us to perform any necessary or legitimate functions. This may include sending you marketing communications about other brands but only where we have marketing permission to do so.

We may also share your personal data in a pseudonymised way (which de-identifies all personal information about you so it is undetectavle) within the Huda Beauty Group of Companies to develop new products, marketing campaigns, including those located outside of your country, for research and innovation purposes.

Sharing Personal Data With Our Third-Party Service Providers

We only provide them with the information they need to perform the service they are providing. We require them to keep it secure and tell them not to use it for any other purpose. For example, we may trust third parties to deliver services that require the processing of your personal data as follows:

  • To provide digital and e-commerce services;
  • To review social media and public profiles as well as ratings and reviews;
  • To provide CRM, identity management, web analytics, and search engine tools;
  • To provide community platform management and User Generated Content curation tools;
  • As required to deliver a product to you, for example, postal/delivery services;
  • Payment service providers and credit reference agencies to assess your credit score and verify your details where this is a condition of entering into a contract with you;
  • Advertising, marketing, digital, and social media agencies to help us deliver advertising, marketing, and campaigns, to analyse their effectiveness, and to manage your contact details, questions, and our relationship;
  • Third parties that assist us with customer care, product queries, and complaints;
  • To provide us with IT services such as website hosting and platform management services; and/or
  • To help us provide training, seminars, and events, such as training providers, travel agencies, and event management companies.

We may also disclose your personal data to third parties beyond those that provide services to us, such as:

  • If we sell any or part of our business or assets, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer of such business or assets. Your personal data will usually be processed by the buyer acting as the new controller, and its privacy policy will govern the processing of your personal data;
  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data 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 Huda Beauty, our customers, or others; and/or
  • In other circumstances if we have your consent or we are permitted to do so by law.

Sharing Personal Data With Our Own Trusted Partners

Your information may be shared with our trusted parties if they are co-creating content with us for an event. We will each use your personal data for our own purposes and as such your personal data will be used by the partner acting also as a controller, and its privacy policy shall govern the use of your personal data for its purposes.

We may share your User Generated Content such as ratings and reviews with our partners so it may be displayed on their websites.

We may publish content created by third parties. Where we do this, the third party may place a cookie on your device if you read this content. Please consult the third party’s cookie policy or cookie consent management platform for details on what information they may gather from the cookie, and how it is used.

We may also share personal data to display Huda Beauty content (for example recommended products/services) on our partners’ sites where you have agreed to receive advertising that is tailored to you (either by accepting our or our partners’ cookies, or by agreeing to receive our marketing). Where you accept our cookies from our partners, they may store a cookie on your device so you should read their privacy and cookies policy or consult their cookie consent management platform. In the other cases, we only share data that does not directly identify you with our partners. Our partners will then determine which of our products/services to display to visitors of their websites.

When we use advertising services from Google on our websites, apps and/or devices, Google will access and use your personal data when we utilise their services.

  • Show you ads you might be interested in on Meta or any of its other services (Instagram, Messenger etc.); and
  • Measure and analyse the effectiveness of our websites, apps and/or devices.

We may also use any personal data you provide us with on our websites, apps and/or devices (e.g. your name, email address, gender, and phone number), to identify you on Facebook or any of Meta’s other services (Instagram, Messenger etc.), in order to show you ads that are more relevant for you. While doing this, Meta will not share your personal data and will delete the information promptly after the matching process is complete.

We may publish content created by third parties. Where we do this, the third party may place a cookie on your device if you read this content. Please consult the third party’s cookie policy or cookie consent management platform for details on what information they may gather from the cookie, and how it is used.

We may also share personal data to display Huda Beauty content (for example recommended products/services) on our partners’ sites where you have agreed to receive advertising that is tailored to you (either by accepting our or our partners’ cookies, or by agreeing to receive our marketing). Where you accept our cookies from our partners, they may store a cookie on your device so you should read their privacy and cookies policy or consult their cookie consent management platform. In the other cases, we only share data that does not directly identify you with our partners. Our partners will then determine which of our products/services to display to visitors of their websites.

When we use advertising services from Google on our websites, apps and/or devices, Google will access and use your personal data when we utilise their services. If you would like to learn more about how Google uses your personal data in this context, please review their Google Privacy & Terms available here.

All Meta features and services available on our websites, apps and/or devices are governed by Meta’s privacy and security information (available here). Please visit Meta’s Privacy Center here if you would like more information on your privacy rights and settings options.

    • sign-in with your Facebook login. If you do so, you consent to share some of your public profile information with us.
    • Use the Meta social plug-ins (Instagram, Messenger, etc.), such as “like” or “share” to share our content, or your User Generated Content on the Meta platform.
    • Accept cookies from our websites/apps (also known as “Meta Pixels”).

Where we store your personal data

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, accessed in, and stored at a destination outside your home country. It may also be processed by staff operating outside your home country who work for us or for one of our service providers.

Where Huda Beauty transfers personal data outside of your home country, this will be done in a secure and lawful way. As some countries may not have laws governing the use and transfer of personal data, we will take steps to ensure that third parties adhere to the commitments set out in this Privacy Notice (e.g. reviewing their privacy and security standards and subjecting them to appropriate contractual obligations).

When we transfer your personal data outside of your home country, we:

  • review and/or enter into appropriate contracts (including adding the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses which may include the UK’s Addendum to the standard contractual clauses); or
  • rely on the applicable European Commission adequacy decision which finds the third country to which we may transfer your personal data offers an adequate level of data protection (copies of adequacy decisions available here).

For further information, please contact us as per the “Contact us” section below.

How long do we keep your personal data and how do we keep it secure?

We will keep your personal data for as long as we need it subject to the different use cases described above. For example, we retain certain personal data for the following periods:

  • For the duration of our contractual relationship and for a reasonable period after it ends in case of a query or claim;
  • Where you create an account, we keep your personal data until you request we delete it or after a period of inactivity (i.e., where you have not interacted with us for a period of time). This period is defined in accordance with local regulations and our internal operating procedures;
  • We keep User Generated Content for a reasonable period necessary to achieve the purpose we collected it for (e.g., for the duration of a campaign) and otherwise for a period defined in accordance with local regulations and guidance;
  • Where cookies are placed on your browser, they are stored for as long as necessary to achieve their purposes (e.g., statistics on your social media post) and otherwise for a period defined in accordance with local regulations and guidance.

We are committed to keeping your personal data secure and taking all reasonable steps to do so. We contractually require that trusted third parties who handle your personal data for us do the same. However, as no sharing of information via the Internet is completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our site. Any sharing is therefore at your own risk.

Links to Third Party Sites and Social Accounts Used for Login Purposes

Our websites/apps may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and/or affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you share any personal data with these websites.

We may also offer you the opportunity to use your social media login when interacting with our websites/apps. If you do so, please be aware that you will be sharing your social profile information with us. The personal data that is shared will depend on your social media platform settings. 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 our social media platforms can be viewed by the public, and you should be cautious about providing certain personal data (e.g., financial information or address details). We are not responsible for any actions taken by other individuals if you post personal data on a social media platform or one of our websites (e.g., via a Community) and we recommend that you do not share such information.
