Glossier U.S. State Privacy Notice

LAST UPDATED:  July 20, 2024

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant their residents certain rights and require additional disclosures. This U.S. State Privacy Notice ("Notice") addresses these state-specific requirements and serves as our California notice at collection. 
If you are a resident of one of the states listed above, this Notice, together with our Privacy Policy, applies to you.
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). We encourage you to review this Notice regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

Your Privacy Rights

Opting Out of Sales, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Some of the activities described above may be considered “sales,” “sharing,” or use of your personal data for “targeted advertising” under the law that applies to you. You may opt out of cookie-based ad targeting by following the prompts here. You can also opt out by visiting our websites with a legally recognized universal choice signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control. Please note that 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.

 

In addition to cookie-based ad targeting, we may disclose your identifiers, such as your email address and phone number, to our advertising partners. These advertising partners translate that information into a unique identifier that can then be used to show ads that are more relevant to you across the web and in mobile apps. You may opt out of having your identifiers disclosed for these purposes 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.

Nondiscrimination

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 the authorized agent has permission to submit the request. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make an access, correction, or deletion request on behalf of a California resident, please fill out our online form.
