Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Ollie, we take your privacy very seriously. We know that protecting you and your skin is our main mission – and that includes safeguarding your personal data. That’s why we are fully committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union and other applicable privacy laws. This Privacy Policy explains clearly and transparently how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide when you use our website.

By using the functionalities of the Ollie website or interacting with us, you confirm that you have read and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Data We Collect

We only collect the personal data necessary to offer you our products and services effectively and in a personalised manner. The personal data we may collect include:

  • Identification and Contact Data: Name, surname, email address, phone number, address (billing and delivery), and login information (e.g., account details/registration, such as username and password).
  • Transaction Data: Payment details (e.g., payment method, credit card information – limited to the last four digits, as we use secure payment partners –, IBAN or other data for payment processing) and purchase/order history made on our website.
  • Preference and Interaction Data: Information you provide voluntarily, such as product preferences, survey or satisfaction study responses, product comments or reviews, and communications sent to our support or customer service team.
  • Navigation and Device Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, preferred language, access times, and clicked URLs. We also collect information through cookies and similar technologies about how you interact with our website – for example, which pages you visited, how long you navigated, products viewed or added to the cart, etc. This usage information helps us better understand user interests and improve the experience on the site.
  • Marketing Data: If you have subscribed to our newsletter or given your consent to receive promotional communications, we record that preference along with your email and interaction history (e.g., if you opened or clicked on emails sent).
  • Social Media Data: If you interact with us through messages or mentions on our official social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, etc.), we may receive some information from your public profile or content that you choose to share voluntarily. Similarly, if you opt to log in to our website using social media credentials (if we offer that functionality), we may receive certain data from your social account, as authorised by you and the platform in question.

Note: We do not intentionally collect sensitive data (such as health information, religious beliefs, genetic/biometric data, etc.) from our customers for the purposes described here. Please avoid providing us with this type of information when using our channels. We also do not target our products or services to children under 16 years old. We do not intentionally collect data from children under 16 without verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor under your responsibility has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we can delete that information.

All personal data is collected in two ways: directly from you (e.g., when you register on the site, make a purchase, or send us a query) or automatically, through your interaction with the site and our communications. Whenever we collect your data, we indicate whether the requested information is mandatory or optional. Please note that if you choose not to provide certain data marked as mandatory (e.g., for delivery), it may not be possible to provide you with the requested service or product.
