CHARLOTTE TILBURY

PRIVACY POLICY – UK & EEA

LAST UPDATED: JANUARY 2026

1. Introduction

At Charlotte Tilbury, we are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy.

You must be 18 or older to buy our products and services and/or create an account. This website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. Please also refer to our Terms of Sale.

2. Who We Are

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Limited (referred to in this Privacy Policy as "us", "we" or "our") is the data controller of your personal data for the processing activities described in this Privacy Policy for users located in the UK and EEA, unless we state otherwise.

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Limited is a company registered in England and Wales (company number 08037372) with registered address 8 Surrey Street, London WC2R 2ND, United Kingdom.

Where this website is operated by, or where products and services are sold by, another Charlotte Tilbury group entity, that entity will act as the data controller for the personal data collected and processed through the website for commercial purposes, because it determines the purposes and means of that processing. The relevant controller will be identified at the point of collection or purchase, where applicable.

Our Group Companies

We are part of the Charlotte Tilbury group, which includes entities owned or controlled by Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Limited that operate Charlotte Tilbury websites or are responsible for stores, concessions, stands or events in your country.

We are also part of the wider Puig group of companies. Where you provide your consent (where required by law), we may share your personal data with other Puig group companies so that they can send you their own marketing communications. We will provide you with the relevant information about this processing at the time we ask for your consent, and you can withdraw your consent at any time.

Retail Partners

Charlotte Tilbury products and services may also be sold through authorised third-party retailers (“Retail Partners”). A list of our authorised Retail Partners is available here. Where you purchase Charlotte Tilbury products from a Retail Partner, that Retail Partner will typically act as an independent controller in relation to its own processing of your personal data. Please refer to the Retail Partner’s privacy notice for information about how they use your personal data.

4. Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes that may affect your rights, we may provide additional notice (for example, by email or via our website).

5. When we will collect your personal data

We may collect personal data about you when you:

• use our website or app (including via cookies and similar technologies);

• create or manage an account, or join our loyalty programme;

• buy products or services (online or in-store from us);

• where you purchase from an authorised Retail Partner (in which case we may receive limited information about your purchase from the Retail Partner);

• interact with us in-store (including appointments/consultations) and via in-store technologies (such as CCTV, Wi-Fi and footfall/traffic measurement where used);

• contact Customer Care or otherwise communicate with us;

• submit surveys, reviews, or other feedback, or participate in competitions/events/pop-ups/activations;

• interact with our marketing and advertising (including on third-party platforms);

• interact with our social media pages or mention us (subject to your settings).

Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies on our website and app. You can manage your preferences using our cookie management tool and by adjusting your browser or device settings. For more information, please see our Cookie Policy. Our websites are not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

Mandatory vs optional information: Some personal data is required to provide products/services (for example, account, payment and delivery details). If you do not provide required information, we may not be able to process your order, provide a service, or respond to certain requests.

Sensitive Personal Data

We may collect and use certain personal data that is treated under data protection laws as “special category” data or sensitive personal data (referred to in this Privacy Policy as Sensitive Personal Data).

This means we will only process Sensitive Personal Data where an appropriate condition under UK/EU data protection law applies (for example, explicit consent and/or another permitted condition for meeting legal and regulatory obligations, such as product safety reporting).

Examples include:

• allergy or skin-sensitivity information you provide (for example, for appointments);

• information about undesirable side-effects, including photos or information you choose to share, which our Customer Care and Regulatory teams may assess for product safety and compliance; and

• dietary or accessibility requirements you provide for events.

Where we process facial imagery for features such as skin analysis or virtual try-on, we use it to provide the requested feature and do not use it to verify your identity or for identity authentication purposes.

Where we rely on your explicit consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. Where we must process and retain information to comply with legal obligations (for example, product safety reporting), we may continue to process that information even if consent is withdrawn.

6. How we use your personal data and legal basis

The table below provides some examples of the information we collect about you and how we will use it. We only process personal data where a legal basis applies, such as consent, contract performance, legitimate interests, legal obligation, or vital interests. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have carried out a balancing assessment to ensure our interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. You may request further information about these assessments by contacting us.

We analyse information about how you use our services (for example, the products you view or buy and how you interact with our website/app) to understand customer preferences, measure marketing effectiveness and provide more relevant content and offers across channels, including online advertising and social media

Personalised advertising and audiences

We may work with advertising and social media partners to show you adverts that are more likely to be relevant and to measure campaign performance. Depending on your choices (including cookie preferences, where required), this may involve:

• using cookies/trackers on our website/app; and/or

• sharing certain identifiers with partners (including hashed identifiers) to create “custom audiences” or similar audience models (including “lookalike” audiences).

You can manage your preferences using our cookie management tool and, where available, via settings on the relevant third-party platforms. For more information, see our Cookie Policy. Advertising on third-party platforms

We may run campaigns on third-party platforms (such as Facebook, Instagram, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest). In some cases, we may share a hashed version of your contact details (such as email address or phone number) so the platform can match it to its users and help us:

• show our adverts to existing customers; and/or

• reach new audiences with similar characteristics (lookalike audiences).

These providers may use AI-enabled tools to assist with this analysis. Where we have a lawful basis to do so, we may combine this information with information you provide to us.

Marketing service providers

We may share limited information with selected marketing service providers who support us with audience insights, segmentation, measurement and campaign optimisation. Where appropriate, we use measures such as hashing, encryption and/or pseudonymisation before sharing data. These providers may be able to combine the information we share with other data they hold in order to provide their services to us, subject to contractual restrictions and appropriate safeguards.
