DATA PRIVACY POLICY FOR PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMERS

(“Privacy Policy”)

 

This website www.lorealpartnershop.com is owned and run by L'Oréal Canada Limited ("L'Oréal" or "We")

This policy was last updated on October 1st 2018.

 

Thank you for visiting our site, which is part of the L’Oréal Canada Inc. family of brands and brand sites (“L’Oréal”, “us”, “our” or “we”). We place great value on honesty and clarity and we are committed to building a strong and lasting relationship with our consumers based on trust and mutual benefit.

 

As part of this commitment, we have created this policy to provide you with information about how we collect, use, share and protect information collected from our sites, mobile applications and social media pages (collectively called the “Sites”), when you shop in our stores or when you otherwise interact with us. By providing us with your personal information you agree to the terms of this policy.

 

This policy applies to customers operating in a business capacity in Canada, for example salons, pharmacists, retailers or third party vendors or people acting as employees of those professionals. Sometimes it is difficult for us to identify whether our customer is a natural person or legal entity. Nevertheless, each time we identify that data from natural person are processed, we ensure the effectiveness of your rights regardless of the situation.

 

If you engage with L’Oréal as a consumer, please refer to our Consumer Privacy Policy available on our brand websites for further information.

 

To help you navigate through this policy, just click on any of the questions below:

“Personal Information” means any information or pieces of information that could identify you either directly (e.g. your name) or indirectly (e.g. through pseudonymized data such as a unique ID number). In other words, personal data includes things like email/home addresses/mobile phone, usernames, profile pictures, personal preferences and shopping habits, user generated content, financial information, and welfare information. It could also include unique numerical identifiers like your computer’s IP address or your mobile device’s MAC address, as well as cookies.

 

Personal Information does not include anonymous or aggregated information that cannot be tracked back to you personally.

We may collect information that you provide to us directly, information automatically collected and information from third parties. We may combine information that we collect via one method (e.g., a website, our digital advertising) with information that we have collected via another method (e.g., an offline event). We do this to get a more complete view of our consumers, which, in turn, allows us to serve you better and allow for more customization.

If you submit any personal information relating to other people to us or to our service providers, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this policy.

When we collect information, we will indicate the mandatory fields via asterisks. Some of the information we request from you are either necessary for us to: 

• Perform our contract with you or your employer (e.g. to deliver the goods you have purchased on our websites/apps); 

• Provide you with the service you or your employer have asked for (e.g. to provide you with a newsletter); 

• Comply with legal requirements (e.g. invoicing).  

If you do not provide the data marked with an asterisk, this may affect the goods and services that we can provide.

 

Information that I provide directly

 

If you register on a Site, make purchases through a Site or one of our stores, join a loyalty program, enter a contest or promotion, submit a consumer survey, photo, video or product review, sign up to receive emails or other offers or communications, we collect and store the information provided, including Personal Information.  

We may also offer you the opportunity to engage with our content through third party social media platforms. L’Oréal’s use of social media serves as an extension of its presence on the Internet. Social media account(s) are public and are not hosted on L’Oréal’s servers. Users who choose to interact with L’Oréal via social media should read the terms of service and privacy policies of these platforms. Please remember that any content submitted to one of our social media platforms can be viewed by the public, so you should be cautious about providing certain personal data e.g. financial information or address details. L’Oréal is not responsible for any harm that results due to posting personal data on one of our social media platforms. 

When you engage with L’Oréal Canada through social media, you may allow us to have access to certain information associated with your social media account (e.g. name, username, e-mail address, picture). We may use this information to confirm your identity and to personalize your experience. 

 

Information that is collected automatically 

 

Mobile Services/Apps: 

Certain of our mobile apps offer opt–in, geo–location services and push notifications. Geo-location services provide location–based content and services, such as store locators, local weather, promotional offers and other personalized content. Push notifications can include discounts, reminders or details about local events or promotions. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services or push notifications. If you consent to location services, we will collect information about the Wi–fi routers closest to you and the cell IDs of the towers closest to you to provide location–based content and services.

 

Site Usage Information: 

L’Oréal and its third–party service providers may also use a variety of technologies that passively or automatically collect information about how the Sites are accessed and used  including but not limited to your browser type, device type, operating system, application version, the pages served to you, the time you browse, preceding page views, and your use of features or applications on the Sites.

 

Device Identifiers: 

L’Oréal also automatically collects an IP address or other unique identifier information ("Device Identifier") for the computer, mobile device, technology or other device (collectively, "Device") you use to access the Sites or on third party websites that publish our advertising. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device by the Device provider when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. For mobile devices, a Device Identifier is a unique string of numbers and letters stored on your mobile device that identifies it. We may use a Device Identifier to, among other things, administer the Sites, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users’ web page movements, help identify you and your shopping cart, deliver advertising and gather broad demographic information.  

 

Cookies: 

Like many web sites, we use "Cookies," which are data files that are sent through your web browser to your computer when it is used to visit the Sites to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience, including tailoring advertisements. Cookies may also be used to collect your MAC address for analytics purposes or associate you with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and, if you so choose, enable interaction between your activities on the Sites and your activities on such social networking sites. Note that cookies may be used and linked to other personal data you have shared with us (such as previous purchases or newsletter subscriptions). 

If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; or set your browser to automatically not accept any cookies. However, please be aware that some features and services on our Sites may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize and associate you with your account. In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.

To learn more about cookies, please visit: http://www.allaboutcookies.org 

 

Pixels or Web Beacons: 

We use pixel tags or web beacons, which are transparent graphic images placed on a web page or in an email  to indicate that a page or email has been viewed or to let your browser retrieve  content from another server. These measure the success of our marketing campaigns for example and compile statistics about usage of our sites and services and response rates.

 

In-Store Analytics: 

We may provide in-store technologies (such as Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth beacons) to help personalize and improve your shopping experience. These technologies may require the collection of certain information about your mobile device, such as your MAC address or other device identification information and may permit you to submit personal details for increased levels of personalization, such as your interests, shopping preferences, and sizing information. 

 

Information collected from third parties:  

 

We may receive information from third party partners, such as marketing and demographic data, offline records and information from an advertiser about your experiences or interactions with them. We may combine such third party data with other information we receive from or about you. 

We may also receive information related to you from your own employer or, sometimes we receive your information from other third parties, including other L’Oréal Group entities. 

Our websites and Apps may from time to time contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we are not responsible or liable for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites. 

Personal Information about you may be maintained and processed on our behalf by our affiliates and other third party service providers inside and outside of Canada including but not limited to the United States. Your Personal Information may be subject to the laws of the countries in which it is stored or used, and those countries may have a different data protection regime than the country in which you reside and under the laws of those other countries, in certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Information. By providing us with any personal information, you consent to the transfer of your Personal Information to other countries, such as the United States, which may have a different privacy regime from your country of residence.

You can opt out of targeted advertising

 

L’Oréal licenses technology to serve advertisements on its own Sites and within its content as that content is served across the Internet. In addition, L’Oréal may use third parties to serve advertisements on the Sites and around the web, measure the performance of the Sites and the viewing of our content, and provide analytics services. These ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and/or analytics service providers may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on your Device and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including usage information. We and our network advertisers may target advertisements for products and services in which you might be interested based on your visits to both the Sites and other web sites or based on location data, from your Device.

Consent is not required to purchase goods or services. Message and data rates will apply and you should check the rates of your mobile carrier. You can opt out from further text marketing communications by texting STOP to the SMS number used by L’Oréal to contact you.  

We may share your mobile phone number with service providers with whom we contract to assist us with the above activities, but we will not share your mobile phone number with third parties for their own purposes without your consent. You acknowledge that Text Messages are distributed via third party mobile network providers and, therefore, we cannot control certain factors relating to message delivery. You acknowledge that, depending on the recipient's mobile carrier, it may not be possible to transmit the Text Message to the recipient successfully; nor is content available on all carriers. We do not claim or guarantee availability or performance of this service, including liability for transmission delays or message failures.  

 

You have the right to be informed

 

You have the right to obtain clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Information and your rights (subject to applicable legal restrictions). This is why we are providing you with the information in this policy. 

 

You have the right to access your Personal Information

 

Upon a detailed written request, L’Oréal will, in a timely manner and in accordance with the legal timeframe, afford you a reasonable opportunity to review your Personal Information as contained in our files (subject to applicable legal restrictions). In order to safeguard and prevent fraudulent access to personal information, we may take steps to verify your identify or your legal representative before granting access. We may charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information. Requests manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive may not be answered to.  

 

You can ask that your Personal Information be changed or deleted

 

 You have the right to have your personal data rectified if it successfully proven to be incorrect or outdated and/or completed if it is incomplete.  

 

You can challenge L’Oréal’s compliance

 

You have the right to contact our Privacy Guardian (see details below) in order to lodge a complaint against the data protection and privacy practices of L’Oréal.  

L’Oréal retains Personal Information only as long as it is deemed necessary, to fulfill the purposes identified or as required by law. Keep in mind that the retention period for Personal Information may extend beyond your relationship with us. We use the following criteria to determine retention periods: 

• Where you purchase products and services or participate in a promotional offer, we keep your Personal Information for the duration of our contractual relationship with you; 
• Where you contact us for an enquiry, we keep your personal data for the duration needed to process your enquiry; 
• Where you create an account, we keep your Personal Information until you require us  to delete it or after a period of inactivity; 
• Where you have consented to direct marketing, we keep your personal data until you unsubscribe or require us to delete your information; and 
• Where cookies are placed on your computer, we keep them for as long as necessary to achieve their purposes (e.g. for the duration of a session for shopping cart cookies or session ID cookies).  

Personal Information no longer necessary or relevant for the identified purposes or no longer required to be retained by law, shall be securely destroyed, erased or made anonymous.

L’Oréal takes seriously its obligations under the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act. The Sites are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personally identifiable information from anyone under 13 years of age. If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use or maintain his/her Personal Information without the parent/guardian's consent. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records.

We strongly recommend that minors 13 years of age or older ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet and we encourage parents to teach their children about safe internet use practices.

L’Oréal maintains reasonable safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized use, disclosure, copying or destruction and when transferring information for processing and requires third parties providing services on our behalf to do the same. 

No method of transmitting or storing data is 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with L’Oréal websites. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem in order for L’Oréal to resolve the issue in a timely manner.  Also keep in mind that e-mail is not a secure form of communication so never send sensitive personal information to us via e-mail. 

If you have any questions about this policy, L’Oréal’s privacy practices, or would like to access your personal information, please contact:

If for some reason the minimum order value is not reached, shipping fees will apply on your Autoship order.

 

You can cancel your Autoship service at any time by accessing your lists in your My Account page.  All cancellations will be effective immediately after the deactivation of the service from the dedicated page of your My Account section.  If you cancel after your account has been charged, the cancellation will become effective for the following order cycle.

• Minimum orders

All minimum order requirements and contact information by brand will be found in Seller’s respective brand Commercial Policies. All purchase orders are subject to acceptance, in whole or in part, by Seller. If the order is refused, in whole or in part, Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such refusal within a reasonable period of time and, as the case may be, shall, together with the Purchaser, agree on changes to be made to the purchase order. In the event of partial acceptance, Seller shall not be obliged to deliver the unaccepted portion of the order, the whole without any liability.

• Availability of products

Products are offered subject to availability.  If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example, because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our Website, we will not process your order.  If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount of the Product as soon as possible.  No substitute product will be sent to replace the unavailable product.  Seller may not be held liable if Products are out of stock or unavailable.

Where a product is not in stock, the delivery date indicated on the purchase order will not be met and Seller shall not be the subject matter of any penalty whatsoever. A new order must be placed for the product until it can be delivered to the Purchaser. If a Purchaser cancels a promotional product order in whole or in part, Seller reserves the right to bill the Purchaser for the costs to place the product back into inventory or for handling charges up to 20% of the price of the order and, where necessary, the costs to destroy them. If a Purchaser cancels an exclusive promotional order, Seller reserves the right to bill point-of-sale promotion costs (POP) and the costs incurred to destroy them.

• Returns

All returns must be authorized by the customer service department or by a representative of the Seller and must be accompanied by an authorization number as well as by Purchaser’s claim number. This authorization number must appear on the outside of the box and on the documents inside the box. If the authorization number is not on the box, L’Oréal reserves the right to return the goods to the Purchaser at its expense. The credited amount shall depend on the products that have been authorized, received and read. (UPC code).

Seller shall only accept returns in the following cases:

The Purchaser alone is responsible for any damage to the product after receipt.

2. Shipping error/invoicing error: upon receipt, the Purchaser must notify the customer service department about the type of error in order to receive authorization to return. The Purchaser must then return the products to Seller within two (2) business days following receipt. If the Purchaser fails to notify the Seller within two (2) business days, the order will then be considered to be complete and correct.

3. Return by the consumer/defective products: defective products must be remitted to an authorized account representative of Seller and must be accompanied by a duly completed consumer complaint form in order to be exempt from the 25% handling charge (see the form provided by the Seller).

4. Discontinued products: the Seller sales manager shall notify the Purchaser’s buying team about all discontinued products. Discontinued products determined by Seller may qualify for return within four (4) months from the date at which the return authorization number takes effect. Where discontinued products qualify for a return, a representative of the Seller and the Purchaser shall reach an agreement.

5. Promotional products: promotional products must be on display for a period of ninety (90) days to meet the requisite return conditions. An authorized representative of Seller may issue a credit for the surplus of any promotional product after expiry of the 90-day display period. The return authorization is valid for a specified period. Returns received after this period shall be denied. At the end of the promotional period, Seller’s authorized representative shall take back the surplus of all free gifts with purchase.

In all the aforementioned cases: (1) The credit shall be processed and the Purchaser’s account statement shall be credited within a reasonable time period from the date on which Seller shall have received the return. (2) All products to be returned must be in full 100 % resale condition in order to be authorized, accepted and credited (except for products damaged during shipping between Seller and the Purchaser). (3) Returns must be placed in standard shipping boxes (less that 10 kg and less than 0.1m³) and packaged to protect the contents during shipping. (4) The customer service department shall issue a credit note upon receipt, shall inspect and process authorized returns. The credit note shall be issued at the invoiced net price less applicable amounts or at the price fixed by the Seller within a reasonable time period from the date on which Seller received the returns.

Specifically and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, returns shall be refused on a product: (1) damaged while handled by the retail Purchaser, (2) damaged during shipping between the Purchaser’s warehouse and its stores, where applicable, (3) sold to the Purchaser by a third person other than warehouse Purchasers of Seller, if any, (4) following a store closure (unless authorized by Seller’s sales manager), (5) discontinued by the store ((unless authorized by Seller’s sales manager), (6) the return of which results from an in-store inventory surplus (unless authorized by Seller’s sales manager). Refused returns shall not be returned to the stores.

Where returns do not meet the aforementioned conditions, Seller reserves the right to refuse to issue a credit note. The return authorization is valid for a limited period.

IMPOSSIBILITY OF PERFORMANCE

Seller is released from the obligation to deliver due to acts beyond our control such as strikes, machine shutdowns and accidents, supply difficulties, failures of our jobs providers, carrier interruption, fire, acts of terrorism, etc.

Similarly, our liability cannot be incurred in cases where ordered products have been warehoused under abnormal conditions or under conditions that are incompatible with the nature of the products.

ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE / GPA / LOGISTICS OPTIMIZATION

In partnership with its Purchasers, Seller exchanges electronic data (EDI) in connection with an Interchange Agreement. A new logistics partnership (EDI/GPA/Logistics Optimization) may be forged after prior agreement, in compliance with the General Terms of Sale and in the interests of both parties.

PAYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The Purchaser shall pay Seller all applicable sales taxes on the purchase price of any goods as indicated on the price list. The Purchaser shall pay the purchase price of any ordered goods within thirty (30) days of the delivery date by electronic payment or wire transfer. The Purchaser shall pay interest of 1.5% per month (19.56 % per year) where payment is not made within thirty (30) days of the delivery date. A discount of one percent (1%) of the net amount billed shall be given where payment is made within ten (10) days of the delivery date. The failure to pay just one invoice when due, renders any and all claims of Seller, even not due, immediately and automatically due and payable without the need for any formal demand letter. Moreover, the Purchaser shall authorize Seller to suspend subsequent deliveries, as the case may be, and to require cash on delivery for subsequent orders.

SET-OFF / DEDUCTION

NO DEDUCTION OR PENALTY SHALL BE ALLOWED WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION OF A REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER, and this, only for an amount equal to what is owed to the Purchaser by the Seller. Any deduction not previously agreed on shall be considered as a failure to pay justifying the suspension of deliveries. Seller reserves the right to recover, by any and all means at its discretion, sums that would thus be deducted. Moreover, it shall be entitled to require cash on delivery for subsequent orders. In the event Seller would owe an amount to the Purchaser, the sums owing shall be settled by the application of the principle of reciprocity of payment terms. In addition, where one year has passed after receipt of the balance of any Seller account, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted said balance and to have waived any recourse in this respect.

RESERVATION OF OWNERSHIP

Seller reserves its right of ownership over the goods until the Purchaser has paid for them in full. The Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may register this reservation of ownership pursuant to Article 2961.1 of the Civil Code of Québec. In the other provinces, this reservation of ownership is deemed to be a purchase money security interest encumbering the universality of the goods sold by Seller and the claims resulting from such goods. However, the Purchaser may dispose of such goods in the ordinary course of its business. In such cases, Seller acknowledges that third person purchasers have all the usual rights of ownership with regard to such goods and it waives any recourse against such third persons that might be vested in it by law to recover the selling price.

The Purchaser agrees to allow the identification and claim of the goods at any time, it being understood that the goods in stock shall be deemed to correspond to unpaid goods.

The Purchaser assumes responsibility for all measures to ensure compliance with the obligations resulting from these General Terms of Sale. In the event of the breach of one of the obligations undertaken and after the plain and simple noting thereof, Seller maintains the option of immediately taking back the goods.

GUARANTEE

Seller guarantees that the goods sold and delivered to the Purchaser do not contain any latent defect or safety flaw. Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its customers and to hold them harmless for and against any claim, liability, loss, damage and expense, including reasonable legal fees resulting from the Purchaser’s use or sale of any goods of Seller having latent defects or safety flaws, or any trade-mark, or current or pending patent or copyright or any dispute based on the foregoing, and such obligations shall survive the Purchaser’s acceptance or payment of the goods. Such indemnification by Seller shall be limited to damages that are an immediate and direct consequence of a latent defect or a safety flaw of the goods sold by Seller to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is by no means liable for penalties, punitive damages, indirect or uncertain damages or for the Purchaser’s losses of profit, including but not exclusively, in the case of recalls or removal of product where there is no latent defect or safety flaw.

The Purchaser undertakes to not sell a product that is worn or that has expired, been modified or altered for any reason whatsoever. Such a product must be destroyed if it is not taken back by Seller under the conditions set out herein. Except with the prior written approval of Seller, the Purchaser must refrain from modifying, diluting, falsifying or repackaging a product and from obliterating or defacing in any way whatsoever a brand or trade-mark on these products or on their packaging or container.

Where the retail Purchaser fails to immediately pay any amounts owing, all sales which we have concluded with it, even those payments of which would not yet be due and which have not yet been paid, shall be automatically cancelled within 24 hours after a formal letter of demand informing it of our intent to avail ourselves of this clause and sales remain  without effect. By express agreement, we shall be entitled to immediately take back the goods, the subject matter of the sale or sales. In the event of cancellation, Seller shall, moreover, be entitled to a lump sum and definitive compensation equal to 15% of the sums still owed it on the cancelled sales.

LITIGATION / JURISDICTIONAL CLAUSE
