WHAT data do we collect about you?
"Personal data" means any information that identifies you either directly (such as your name) or indirectly (for example, using a unique customer number).
The personal data we collect depends on the point of contact through which you interact with us, as well as the purposes of this interaction as described in this Statement and are also limited to those which are relevant and appropriate for this interaction. Visitors to the Dior.com website who view our products, information and offers can choose to do so without logging in, and the same is true for point-of-sale search and browsing on social media.

Or else, our data collection is limited to the use of "cookies" (visitors) for website visitors whose conditions are specifically defined by our cookie policy and according to your preferences. For the sake of transparency and clarity, our cookie management policy is separate from this Statement.
The cookie management policy is accessible from this link.
For one thing, for customers and others who sign up for programs or services, we need to collect certain relevant information from you. The information we collect is related to a given transaction as well as in the context of our business relationship with you. For example, if you make purchases on Dior.com or in our points of sale, we must collect information to process (and, if necessary, execute and dispatch) your order, to ensure its tracking and invoicing, to be in order to respond to any after-sales inquiries you may have. For customers and others who sign up for our programs or services, we generally collect your contact information, contact preferences and information that allows us to make recommendations to you about our products or services that may be of interest to you. We can centralize information about our customers to organize it in one place, as this helps us manage our relationship with you as well as your choices and preferences. Finally, if you subscribe to our personalised newsletter, we collect your email address.
Depending on the data that you communicate to us or that you share with us, personal data may include information concerning: • Your identity and contact details: surname, first name, postal address, email address, telephone number • Your interests • A history of your purchases (in store or online, including your orders, tracking and invoices, amount and type of purchase) and your repairs • Your requests via our customer care service or our public relations service • The Dior events in which you participate • Your size and stylistic preferences (only for Christian Dior Couture) • Your date of birth in order to benefit from the Birthday offers eligible according to your program • Your satisfaction and comments on our programs, services and products • The information that you specify related to the possible undesirable effects that you could report to us (only for Parfums Christian Dior) • Your publications and mentions of our products on social networks
Regarding your purchases, payments are made via a secure payment platform, supplemented by control measures, including encryption of contact details, in order to guarantee the security of purchases made and to fight against fraud. Your bank details are therefore not accessible on Dior's servers.
We invite you to ensure that your data is regularly updated, either by modifying it directly on our sites or, by informing us in writing of any modification by referring to the dedicated section "How to contact us".
HOW do we collect or receive your data?
As part of our relationships, the data we collect may be collected through the following contact points: • Course on Dior.com • Exchanges with our advisors in Dior stores as well as points of sale in department stores • Dior events in which you participate • Relationship with our public relations services • Contact with customer care • Forms that you fill out (in store or online) • Digital applications with which you interact • Third party data providers with whom you share information • Retailers for whom you agree to receive our communications • Satisfaction surveys or questionnaires to which you answer • Publications/mentions on social networks
We make sure to identify the personal data essential for the purpose for which it is collected by indicating it with an asterisk like this ‘(*)’ on each personal data collection form. If you do not fill in these mandatory fields, we will not be able to respond to your requests and / or provide you with the services requested. The other information is optional and allows us to know you better and improve our communications and services to you. Although not mandatory, we recommend that you fill them in to allow you to benefit from the best possible experience during our interactions with you.
During your purchase journey, you will be able to choose between i) logging into your existing Dior account, ii) creating a new account, or iii) paying as a Guest (or also called Guest Check out). This last purchasing experience is thus summarized as follows.
Payment for purchases as a Guest refers to the possibility for any Dior customer or prospect to make a purchase in our online store without logging into an account. Your information is collected for the process of payment and delivery of items or for Dior in order to comply with applicable laws. Your information may also be used for analytical purposes by Dior and for communication purposes via its preferred channel (for example: sending a general newsletter relating to the news of our Maisons by email for which you have the right to object). For more information on these purposes, please go to the section below, under the "Analysis and personalization purposes" section.
FOR WHAT PURPOSES is your data used by Dior?
We are required to use your data for purposes defined according to the nature of our relationships. Thus, depending on the context in which your data is collected, it may be used for one or more of the following purposes: • Managing your orders • Management of personalized content and Dior communications (digital or not) • Managing your client profile (For example, in order to simplify your navigation through the different markets on our website: if you navigate to another market, your customer account will automatically be duplicated in that market. This means that it will not be necessary to create a new customer account) • Managing your requests in connection with Dior • The management of events in which you register / participate • The management of alerts that you send us as part of our cosmetovigilance obligations (only for Parfums Christian Dior products) • The management of our website and our digital applications • Management and improvement of our products and services, image and reputation • Transaction management (securing online payments, prevention of fraud, incidents related to payments and debts) • Promoting our Maison on social networks • The sending of a generic newsletter: you have the right to object if you no longer wish to receive it • Analysis purposes: > analyse the performance of our brand on social networks in order to produce statistical analyses (studies of results by market, influence of the brand and analysis of the campaigns implemented). > analyse your preferences and habits, anticipate your needs from of your consumer profile and your publications/mentions on social networks. > personalised customer experience: we may provide you with personalised communications by means of email, postal mail, SMS or calls based on the communication preferences you have indicated and your consumer profile (where permitted) here https://www.dior.com/en_gb/beauty/account to channel preference manager if you have a customer account, otherwise you can contact our customer service (see section "how to contact us")). With your free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent (where required), we use your personal data to send you personalised communications based on your interests (newsletters, offers, invitations and surveys).
In the latter two interactions ('analysing your preferences and habits' & 'providing you with a personalised customer experience'), when we send personalised communications or content, we may use so-called profiling techniques. For the sake of transparency within this Statement, profiling is defined as any kind of automated processing of personal data which consists of using that personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict elements relating to the preferences, interests, behaviour or location of that natural person. In these circumstances, you have the right of opposition, meaning the right to withdraw your consent.
We ensure the legal basis for the processing of your data according to the purpose (s) concerned, which may be, depending on the context in which it is collected: • Your explicit consent: for example, for the purposes of managing our personalized commercial offers, managing your browsing via cookies under the conditions defined by our Cookies Policy, or establishing your consumer profile in applicable cases • The implementation of a contract, for example for your access to your customer account, the processing and follow-up of your orders ... • A legal obligation when processing is required by law, for example, keeping purchase invoices to prevent fraud • Our legitimate interest: for example, to improve our products and services, to defend ourselves, to secure our tools or to refine our customer knowledge via the tools of our third party partners and in particular to : o to define the personalised profile of our customers based on their interests and to offer them relevant offers from our brand on other websites; o identify audiences that are similar to our target audience (in order to deliver our offers to audiences of people who have similarities to our customers' profiles).

For the sake of transparency within this Statement, profiling is currently defined as any kind of automated processing of personal data which consists of using that personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict elements relating to the preferences, interests, behaviour or location of that natural person. In these circumstances, you have the right to opt-out, meaning the right to withdraw your consent by unsubscribing or see the “Contact Us” section below.
Should you wish to know more about the categories of processing activities for which we collect and use your information alongside indicative Legal basis for which we base such processing, please refer to the dedicated table provided via this link [place URL under “Via this link”]
