This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time if our practices change.
You may find links to other websites not operated by Jurlique but which are accessible through our websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites and you should consult the privacy policy of any other website you enter.
WHAT KINDS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND HOW?
When you interact with Jurlique in store, over the phone, via email or via social media, we may collect personal information about you. This enables us to provide you with information about Jurlique products and services and allows us to facilitate any purchases or other inquiries. This information may include your name, address, phone number, date of birth, email address, credit card information and health information where, for instance, you tell us you have experienced an allergic reaction in relation to any of our products or have a particular skin condition or concern.
We may also collect your personal information from you when you purchase products from us, access our website or social media sites, register an account with us online, join our VIP program or enter into one of our competitions or promotions.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT WHEN YOU USE THE JURLIQUE WEBSITE?
Your visits to Jurlique’s websites are associated with cookies. Cookies are unique identifiers that we collect and use to obtain information about Jurlique’s websites including the number of visitors to the websites, the date and time of those visits, the number of pages viewed, the products viewed and added to baskets, navigation patterns and, where relevant, the websites visited before visiting the website.
This information provides Jurlique with statistics that we can use to analyse, personalise and improve our websites and our products and services.
