Privacy Policy

1. General Information

1.1 What does this Privacy Policy cover? This Xlash privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) governs the processing of personal data collected from individual users (“you” and “your”) through the e-commerce website, https://xlash.com and the related domain names (collectively, “Xlash”). The Privacy Policy does not cover any other websites, applications or software that integrate with Xlash or any other third-party products and services (for example, our social media service providers that are linked to from Xlash).


1.2 Who is the data controller? Xlash is owned and operated by Beauty Generation AB having a registered business address at Oxenstiernsgatan 15A, 115 27 Stockholm Sweden, and the organisation number SE5591503270 (“we,” “us,” and “our”).


1.3 Children. Xlash is not intended for use by persons under the age of 18. Therefore, we do not knowingly collect children’s personal data. If you become aware that a child has provided us with his or her personal data and you are a parent or a legal guardian of the child, please contact us immediately and we will remove the child’s personal data from our systems.


1.4 Term and termination. This Privacy Policy enters into force on the date indicated at the top of the Privacy Policy (“Last updated”) and remains in effect until terminated or updated by us.


1.5 Amendments. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. It may be necessary to address the changes in our business practices, functionalities of Xlash, applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. The amended version of the Privacy Policy will be posted on this page and, if we have your email address, we will send you a notification about the changes implemented by us. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed. For significant material changes in the Privacy Policy or, where required by the applicable law, we may seek your consent.


2. What data do we collect through Xlash?

2.1 From what sources do we get your personal data?


We obtain your personal data from the following sources:
• Directly from you: for example, if you submit your personal data when you purchase something from us or contact us;
• Directly or indirectly through your activity on Xlash: when you use Xlash, we automatically collect technical information about your use of Xlash; and
• From third parties: we may receive information about you from third parties to whom you have previously provided your personal data, if those third parties have a legal basis for disclosing your personal data to us (for example, for payment processing purposes).
2.2 What personal data do we collect?


We comply with data minimisation principles. This means that we collect only a minimal amount of personal data that is necessary for your use of Xlash. We use your personal data for limited, specified and legitimate purposes explicitly mentioned in this Privacy Policy. In general, your personal data is used for the purposes of providing you with access to Xlash, maintaining and improving Xlash, processing your orders, replying to your enquiries, and pursuing our legitimate interests. We do not re-purpose your personal data. This means that we do not use it for any purposes that are different from the purposes for which your personal data was provided. Below, you can find an overview of the types of personal data that we collect, the pur-poses for which we use it, and the legal bases on which we rely when processing it.


• Orders. When you place an order, we collect your first name, last name, city, region, address, email address, and telephone number. We use this information to send you transactional receipts, deliver you your orders, contact you, if necessary, and maintain our business records. The legal bases on which we rely are ‘performing a contract with you’ and ’pursuing our legitimate interests’ (i.e., to administer Xlash). We will store this data for as long as required by the applicable law (at least 7 years) or until you delete your user account, whichever later.


Payments. When you make a payment, our payment processors Klarna and PayPal collect your personal data, such as first name, last name, billing and delivery addresses, and payment details (e.g., credit card or PayPal details). Please note that the types of personal data that you need to submit depend on the payment processor chosen by you. We do not have access to your full payment data; only a part of your personal data is made available to us by the payment processors. Your payment data is used to process payments and maintain our accounting records. The legal bases on which we rely are ‘performing our contractual obligations’ and ‘pur-suing our legitimate interests’ (i.e., to administer our business). We store such data for the time period prescribed by law (at least 7 years).


Enquiries. When you contact us by email, we collect your name, email address, and any infor-mation that you decide to disclose in your message. When you contact us by using the ‘Contact Us’ functionality, we collect your first name, last name, email address, phone number, and any information that you decide to include in your message. When you contact us as a business through the ‘Contact Us’ functionality, we collect your email address, business type, business name, website (optional), VAT registration number, mobile phone number, invoicing email, buyers name, shipping address, country, and any other information that you decide to provide us in your message. We use such data to respond to your enquiries and provide you with the requested information. The legal bases on which we rely are ‘pursuing our legitimate interests’ (i.e., to maintain and grow Xlash) and ‘your consent’ (for optional personal data). We will store this data until you stop communicating with us.


• Cookies. When you browse Xlash, we or our third-party analytics service provider (as explained in below) collect your location and cookie-related data. We use such information to analyse the technical aspects of your use of Xlash, prevent fraud and abuse, and ensure the security of Xlash. For more information on our use of cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy. The legal bases on which we rely are ‘pursuing our legitimate interests’ (i.e., to analyse our content and protect Xlash) and ‘your consent’. We will store this data as long as analytics records are necessary for our activities or you withdraw your consent (if you have provided one).


• Reviews. When you leave a review about the products purchased by you, we collect your name and any information that you decide to provide in your review. We use the said data to feature your review on Xlash. The legal basis on which we rely is ‘your consent’. We will store this data until you ask us to delete your review.


2.2 Do we collect sensitive data?


We do not collect or use any special categories of personal data (“sensitive data”) from you, unless you decide, at your own discretion, to provide such data to us. Sensitive data refers to your health, religious and political beliefs, racial origins, membership of a professional or trade association, or sexual orientation.


2.3 What happens if you refuse to provide your personal data?


If you decide not to provide us with your personal data when we ask for it, we may not be able to perform the requested opera-tion (for example, process your order) and you may not be able to use the full functionality of Xlash, receive the requested information, or get our response. Please notify us immediately if you think that any personal data that we collect is excessive or not necessary for its intended purpose.


2.4 Do we collect analytics data?


Yes. When you browse Xlash, we collect or have access to certain technical analytics data collected from you. Such data includes the following information:
• Your activity on Xlash (time of visit, pages visited, products viewed, time spent on each page, clicks, scroll depth, interaction with widgets);
• URL addresses from which you access Xlash;
• Your browser type and version;
• Your operating system;
• Your device details;
• Information about your orders;
• Your other online behaviour; and
• Cookies-related data, as explained in our Cookie Policy.


2.5 For what purposes do we use analytics data?


We use your analytics data to analyse what kind of users access and use Xlash, measure your engagement with Xlash, see which products are interesting to you, improve our content, develop new products and services, and investigate and prevent security issues and abuse. In most cases, such analytics data is non-personal and it does not allow us to identify you as a natural person. However, some of such data like your IP address may be considered personal data and we will make sure that we have the necessary legal basis for pro-cessing such data. When we process your analytics data that is personal data, we rely on the ‘legiti-mate interest’ (i.e., to analyse and improve Xlash) and ‘your consent’ bases.


2.6 Do we keep your feedback?


If you contact us, we may keep records of any questions, com-plaints, recommendations, or compliments made by you and the response. Where possible, we will de-identify your personal data (i.e., we will remove all personal data that is not necessary for keep-ing such records).


2.7 What happens if we aggregate or de-identify your data?


In case your non-personal data is combined with certain elements of your personal data in a way that allows us to identify you as an individual, we will handle such aggregated data as personal data. If your personal data is de-identified in a way that it can no longer be associated with an identified or identifiable natural per-son, it will not be considered personal data and we may use it for any legitimate purpose.


2.8 When will you receive our commercial communication?


We send you our commercial communication only if (i) you opt-in for our newsletter, (ii) subscribe for a newsletter by giving us your email address, or (iii) purchase something from us and we want to inform you about our similar products. In such cases, you will receive information about our new products, features of Xlash, and special offers. The legal bases on which we rely are ‘your consent’ or ‘pursuing our legitimate interests’ (i.e., to grow Xlash). At any time, you can opt-out from receiving our commercial communication free of charge by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link included in our newsletters or by contacting us directly.


2.9 When will you receive our transactional notices?


If we have your email address and it is necessary to do so, we may send you important informational messages, such as order updates, payment receipts, invoices, shipping information, and other technical or administrative emails. Please note that such messages are sent on an “if-needed” basis and they do not fall within the scope of commercial communication that may require your prior consent. You cannot opt-out from service-related notices.


3. How long do we store your data?

3.1 For how long do we store your personal data?


We and our data processors listed in section 4 below store your personal data only for as long as such personal data is required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or until you request us to update or delete your personal data, whichever comes first. For more details about the period for which each type of personal data is stored, please refer to section 2.2. After your personal data is no longer necessary for its purposes and we do not have other legal basis for storing it, we will immediately securely delete your per-sonal data from our systems. We do not store any personal data longer than strictly necessary.


3.2 For how long do we store your non-personal data?


We retain non-personal data pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include storing non-personal data for the period of time needed for us to examine our business activities, fulfil our contractual obligations, pursue our legitimate interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.


3.3 When are we obliged by law to store your personal data?


When we are obliged by law to store your personal data for a certain period of time (e.g., for keeping accounting and business rec-ords), we will store your personal data for the time period stipulated by the applicable law (in most cases, for 7 years) and securely delete the personal data as soon as the required retention period expires.


4. How do we disclose your data?

4.1 When do we disclose your personal data?


We keep your personal data in strict confidenti-ality. However, if necessary for the intended purpose of your personal data, we will disclose your personal data to entities that provide services on our behalf or support us in our business (our data processors). Your personal data may be shared with entities that provide technical support services to us, such as hosting, payment processing, shipping, and email distribution services.

Although we are based in Sweden that belongs to the European Economic Area (EEA), some of our data processors are based outside the EEA or the country where you reside. Therefore, we may need to transfer your personal data out-side your country. In case it is necessary to make such a transfer, we will make sure that the country in which our data processor is located guarantees an adequate level of protection for your personal data or we conclude an agreement with it that ensures such protection (e.g., a data processing agreement based pre-approved standard contractual clauses).


4.4 Do we disclose your non-personal data?

Your non-personal data may be disclosed to third parties for any purpose as it does not identify you as a natural person. For example, we may share it with prospects or partners for business or research purposes, for improving Xlash, responding to lawful requests from public authorities or developing new products and services.


4.5 What happens if we receive a legal request?


If requested by a public authority, we will dis-close information about the users of Xlash to the extent necessary for pursuing a public interest objective, such as national security or law enforcement.


5. How do we protect your data?

5.1 What security measures do we use?


We implement technical and organizational information security measures that protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access and disclosure. The security measures taken by us include secured networks, strong passwords, obfuscated URLs, limited access to your personal data by our staff, anonymization of personal data (when possible), regular updates, security patching, and carefully selected data processors.


5.2 What happens if a security breach occurs?


Although we put our best efforts to protect your personal data, given the nature of communication and information processing technology and the Internet, we cannot be liable for any unlawful destruction, loss, use, copying, modification, leakage, and falsification of your personal data caused by circumstances that are beyond our reasonable control. In case a serious breach occurs, we will take reasonable measures to mitigate the breach, as required by the applicable law. Our liability for any security breach will be limited to the highest extent permitted by the applicable law.
