California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant their residents certain rights and require additional disclosures.

We may update this Notice from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this Notice. If we make material changes, we will provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to our websites or sending you a notification).

Other Details About Our Information Practices
As described in more detail in our Privacy Policy, we collect personal data from different sources, including: directly from you; automatically when you purchase our products, access or use our websites, interact with our communications, or visit our stores; and from other sources, including other customers, online booking partners, order processing partners, marketing and advertising partners, market research companies, and sample distributors. We may also derive information or draw inferences about you based on the information we collect.
We do not knowingly collect, sell, or share personal data about consumers under the age of 16.
We do not collect data that is considered “sensitive” under certain state privacy laws, which means that we also do not use or disclose sensitive personal data to infer characteristics about you.
We store personal data for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the data was collected, and any other permissible purpose explained in this Notice or our Privacy Policy. For example, we may retain certain transaction details and correspondence until the time limit for claims arising from the transaction has expired. When we no longer need to use your personal data, we remove it from our systems and records or anonymize it so that you can no longer be identified from it.
Additional Privacy Rights
Opting Out of Sales, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
As described above, you have the right to opt out of having your personal data sold, shared, or used for targeted advertising. You may opt out by following the prompts here. If you are a resident of California, you can also opt out by visiting our websites with a legally recognized opt-out preference signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control. You will need to renew your opt-out choice at each Glossier-branded website you visit, if you visit our websites from a new device or browser, or if you clear your cookies because your opt-out choice will be linked to your browser only.
In addition, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes or to expand the reach and effectiveness of our own marketing campaigns. Such disclosures may constitute “sales” of your personal information under the State Laws, and you may opt out of such activities by following the instructions here.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
You have the right to (1) request to know more about and access your personal data, including in a portable format, (2) request deletion of your personal data, and (3) request correction of inaccurate personal data. To request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data, please fill out our online form. If you prefer to talk to someone on the phone, or you have a disability that makes it difficult to use the online request forms, you may call our toll-free number at 1-855-929-2179 to submit a request. You can also access, correct, or delete certain information stored within your online account, including your profile, contact, payment, and shipping information, at any time by logging into your Glossier account. You can also deactivate your Glossier account by emailing gTeam@glossier.com. We may verify your request by asking you to provide information related to your recent interactions with us, such as your email address, shipping address, or order number.
Nondiscrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Authorized Agent
You can designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy rights request on your behalf. We may ask authorized agents to submit proof of their authority to make a request, such as a valid power of attorney or proof that they have signed permission from the consumer who is the subject of the request. In some cases, we may be required to contact the individual who is the subject of the request to verify his or her own identity or confirm you have permission to submit this request. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please fill out our online form.
Appeals
In some cases, we may deny your privacy rights request. You have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us at Privacy@glossier.com. If you have concerns about the result of your appeal, you may contact the attorney general in the state where you reside.

You can opt into a financial incentive by following the sign-up or participation instructions provided and you can opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in our promotional emails or contacting us at Privacy@glossier.com.
