PRIVACY POLICY


1. Privacy and Cookie policy


This Privacy Policy describes the data protection practices of Behind Beauty (“Behind Beauty,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect and use about you when you access or use the Behind Beauty website, mobile application, or other online or mobile service that links to or otherwise presents this Privacy Policy to you. We refer to these products and services collectively as the “Services.”

 

By accessing and using our Services, you automatically are deemed to have accepted and agree with this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept and do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you must stop using our Services immediately.

 

This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites maintained by other companies or organisations to which we link and Behind Beauty is not responsible for any personal information you submit to third parties via our website. Please ensure that you read the Privacy Policy of such other companies or organisations before submitting your details.

 

2. Your data protection rights

You have a number of “Data Subject Rights” which we have explained below. You can read more about these rights on the Information Commissioner's Office website at www.ico.org.uk.

 

  • Right of access – You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you.

  • Right to rectification – If you think any of your personal information that we hold is inaccurate, you have the right to request it is updated. We may ask you for evidence to show it is inaccurate.

  • Right to erasure – You have the right to request that we delete your personal information that we hold.

  • Right to restriction of processing – You have the right to request we restrict or suppress the personal data we hold about you.

  • Right to data portability – You have the right to ask us to electronically transfer your personal information to another organisation in certain circumstances.

  • Right to withdraw Consent – Where we are relying on your consent for processing you can withdraw or change your consent at any time. 

The above rights may be limited in some circumstances, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, if you ask us to delete information which we are required to have by law, or if we have compelling legitimate interests to keep it. We will let you know if that is the case and will then only use your information for these purposes. You may also be unable to continue using our Services if you want us to stop processing your personal information.

6. How we disclose your information

Behind Beauty will, always with caution, disclose your information in the following ways:

 

Affiliates and Subsidiaries

We may disclose information we collect within the Behind Beauty platform with the wider corporation to deliver products and services to you, ensure a consistent level of service, and enhance our products, services, and your customer experience.

 

Service Providers

We provide access to or disclose your information to select third parties who perform services on our behalf. They have access to perform these services but are prohibited from using your information for other purposes. They provide a variety of services to us, including billing, sales, marketing, product content and features, advertising, analytics, research, customer service, data storage, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, and legal services.

 

Protection of Behind Beauty

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that we may access, retain and disclose the information we collect and maintain about you if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, retention or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process, (ii) enforce our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or other contracts with you, (iii) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties, (iv) respond to your requests for customer service, and/or (v) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Behind Beauty, its agents and affiliates, its users and/or the public.

 

Business Transfers

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge, or partner with other companies. In such transactions (including in contemplation of such transactions), user information may be among the transferred assets. If a portion or all of our assets are sold or transferred to a third-party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, we will comply with such restrictions.

 

Public Forums

Certain features of our Services make it possible for you to post comments publicly that other users can see. Any information that you submit through such features is not confidential, and we may use it for any purpose (including in testimonials or other marketing materials). Any information you post openly in these ways will be available to the public at large and potentially accessible through third-party search engines. Accordingly, please take care when using these features.
