We may also use third-party platforms, including platforms operated by social networks, such as Google, Facebook, Pinterest, WeChat, Line, Kakao, etc. to show interest-based ads. We may convert your email address, telephone number or other information into a unique value which can be matched by those third parties with a user on their platform or with other data they may have collected from you. This matching allows interest-based ads to be delivered on those platforms. To opt out of these ads, you must change your advertising preferences on those third-party platforms. These platforms may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review.

Information We Share

We do not rent, sell or otherwise (except as described here) disclose personal information we collect about you, so as to permit those third parties to directly market to you. But as may be required for the performance of the purposes discussed in earlier sections, we may share your personal information with:

  • Our affiliates within the Estée Lauder Companies umbrella of companies for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise specified in the notice provided at the time of collection. For additional information regarding our corporate affiliates, please see https://www.elcompanies.com/.
  • Service providers, licensees and/or joint venture partners who may be located overseas (including India, China, Singapore, South Korea, UK and US), and they may perform services on our behalf based on our instructions and send you direct marketing in relation to the Goods and Services. We do not authorize these service providers to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. Examples of these service providers include entities that process credit card payments, fulfil orders, support our returns process and provide web hosting and marketing services.
  • Other third parties through social networks, widgets and plug-ins with your consent. If you use any features made available to you on our website by a third party, it may result in information being collected or shared between us and the third party. For example, if you use Facebook’s "Like" feature, Facebook may register the fact that you "liked" us and may post that information on Facebook. Also, some of our Facebook applications may share information collected through those apps with your Facebook friends or other Facebook users.

 

Where we need to share your personal information to third parties for the performance of purposes discussed above on our behalf, we would request such parties adopt privacy practices in relation to the handling of personal data that is equivalent or even stricter level than as set out in this Privacy Policy.

In addition, we may disclose information about you without your consent (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity.

We also reserve the right to transfer personal information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy. Following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal information with any inquiries concerning the processing of that information.
