• purposes to which you have consented; or
• as otherwise authorised or required by law.
Generally, we will only use the personal information that we collect about you for purposes connected with our business operations. These purposes may include:
• verifying your identity;
• contacting you (including via electronic messaging such as SMS and email, by mail, by phone or in any other lawful manner);

The types of personal information L’Oréal collects and the purposes for which that personal information is used will depend on the circumstances. Some examples of the types of information that L’Oreal ordinarily collects in certain situations and how it is ordinarily used are set out below.
Employees
L’Oréal may collect personal information from its employees in connection with their employment. Personal information includes an employee’s name, address, date of birth, photographs, bank account details and employee records.
Any personal information obtained and held by L’Oréal directly related to an employee’s employment with L’Oréal will be exempt from compliance with the Act. L’Oréal may be required to disclose the personal information of its employees, from time to time, for the purposes of conducting its business or otherwise in accordance with this policy.
L’Oréal may, from time to time, obtain sensitive information about its employees, either directly or indirectly. Where L’Oréal comes into possession of sensitive information relating to an employee, this information will only be used for the purposes for which it was obtained.
In the ordinary course of its business, L’Oréal may be required, from time to time, to transfer the personal information of employees overseas in accordance with clause 4 of this privacy policy.
Consumers

We generally use this personal information to assist in the supply of products and services, for promotional purposes and for our internal administrative purposes.
L’Oréal collects personal information from consumers in a number of different ways including directly from a consumer when they provide it to us (or our agents or contractors) including when a consumer:
• visits our websites or counters;
• acquires or uses our products;
• enters a competition or promotion;

We may also generate personal information about consumers from information that we have. For example, by analysing our records of a consumer’s use of our products or services or the consumer’s previous dealings with us.

Applicants for employment agree to L’Oréal collecting, using and disclosing the information for the purposes for which it was disclosed and to the extent permitted by the Act.
Where L’Oréal holds personal information from a previous employment application, the applicant can request to access the personal information in accordance with clause 7 of this policy. The request must be provided to L’Oréal within a reasonable timeframe and must particularise the information sought and the purpose for which the information is sought.
