Personalising your digital experience
Sometimes, we use your personal data such as your browsing history, username and purchases to personalise our Websites, online media and communications so they’re more relevant to you, giving you a better online experience. We do this through our use of Cookies and, where appropriate, information we have gathered about you from other interactions (e.g. products you buy or browse, or links that you have clicked on) or other sources (e.g. Huda VIP membership, including clubs that you have joined). For example, we may greet you by name, show search results that reflect things most likely to be of interest to you and show you content that’s more relevant to you and the things you have previously shown an interest in.
Personalisation, can I opt out and how do I do it?
Yes, but we believe it’ll result in your online experience being less personal and relevant to you. The content and search results you see will be generic rather than related to your interests. Personalising your online experience doesn’t affect the marketing options you have selected, it’s to offer you a service personalised to your needs. If you have an account, you can email the contact details given below with your request. If you’re not a registered customer, information held in our Cookies may be used to select content that we feel is more relevant for you. To prevent this, you can clear your cookies.
Where we process information on the basis that it is important for us as a business to do it, we will consider your interests also. We will weigh up our business interests with your interests to ensure they are fairly balanced. You can contact us for further information on this.
HOW WE SECURE YOUR INFORMATION
We take great care to ensure the security of our Websites and your personal information. To ensure that we keep your information secure we use technical security measures such as encryption, access controls, firewalls and logging, and organisational security controls such as security policies and procedures, awareness training for employees and 3rd party vendor assessments.
To take full advantage of all security features you should use an up-to-date browser. To further ensure your personal information is safe, please note, we will never ask a customer to confirm any debit or credit card details via email.
We’ll always conduct a full review of our suppliers’ processes and procedures including storage solutions for our data. To ensure adequacy when sending your data outside of the UK and EEA, we put in place contracts based on the standard EU model contract clauses to guarantee adequacy, we also use alternative safeguards where standard EU model contract clauses are not suitable.
Our products and services may be provided using resources and servers located in various countries around the world. It is possible that your personal data may be transferred across international borders including to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that do not have laws providing specific protection for personal data or that have different legal rules on data protection. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal data. To address concerns about transfers from the UK or EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we have implemented appropriate measures to protect your personal data. For example, we use standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission and binding corporate rules and we require the use of appropriate technical and organisational information security measures. As your data is stored safely and securely both inside and outside of the EEA, we cannot offer alternative storage solution if you wish to object to having your data stored outside of the EEA. To do this, you’ll need to close your account with Huda Beauty.
Your personal information may be processed with automated methods to understand which Huda Beauty outlet you usually shop at, whether you have been shopping recently or not, and which products you purchase or which you might be interested in hearing about in future. This data may include things like your age, gender and purchasing history or preferences. When your Personal Data is processed in this way it is used in summarised (by which we mean anonymised and aggregated) business reports, or to tailor news, offers and promotions we feel you will find most relevant. For example, to advise you of a promotion, event or product launch at a store that you shop at. This processing could determine whether or not you are included in tailored promotions or offers, or advised of Huda Beauty news, events or product launches.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. 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 to the third parties listed below:
We may offer you various 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.
