MyRoutine AI Notice

La Roche-Posay, part of L’Oréal USA, Inc., has instituted the following Information Notice related to any personal information that La Roche-Posay may obtain, possess, use, process, transfer, or store about you (“You”) as a result of Your use of MyRoutine AI. For further information about La Roche-Posay’s privacy practices as they relate to this service or other personal information La Roche-Posay collects about You when You use our website or other La Roche-Posay services, please review La Roche-Posay’s Privacy Policy.

Purpose

The purpose of the collection, storage, processing, and use of personal information for MyRoutine AI is to provide You with a meaningful, efficient way to evaluate products for potential purchase and use. When You use La Roche-Posay’s MyRoutine AI, La Roche-Posay collects and processes certain data, see “How It Works,” infra, in order to deliver a better beauty experience to You. La Roche-Posay may use information about You to communicate with You about La Roche-Posay beauty products and services; answer questions; create better experiences; provide tailored advertising, content, services, recommendations, and communications; fulfill product purchases and process payments; analyze use of La Roche-Posay products and services, without any associated personal identification information of users, so as to improve effectiveness of La Roche-Posay’s Site, customer service, and offerings, including improvement of the virtual MyRoutine AI tool and underlying algorithm; conduct research, including high-level analytics without associated personal identification information; to comply with applicable laws or legal obligations; for corporate governance, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other corporate restructurings, and TO ENFORCE THE TERMS OF USE, which additionally govern and apply to Your use of MyRoutine AI.

How It Works

In order to use MyRoutine AI, You must upload an image or photograph of Yourself (a/k/a, a “selfie”). Your photograph will be transmitted from Your device to a central cloud-based hub, where it is analyzed. La Roche-Posay will use an algorithm to analyze the selfie to detect face landmarks to localize the region around key facial features (i.e., outline of eyes, lower part of nose, outline of lips, etc.). This information is used for visualization (e.g., present skin concern zones on the selfie) and to provide You with the requested service (e.g., analyze the correct areas of the face needed to identify skin concerns). It is not used to identify or verify the identity of any individual.

La Roche-Posay will use an additional and separate algorithm to analyze the selfie to calculate age, ethnicity, and assess signs of skin aging using multiple dimensions (e.g., location of wrinkles, redness, microvessels, cheek pores, pigmentation around eyes, UV damage, ptosis of lower face, density of pigmentation, etc.). The algorithm predicts ethnicity and age to provide you with more accurate results. For example, some signs of skin ageing are not analyzed depending on age, gender, and/or ethnicity, while detected age, gender, and/or ethnicity may impact calculated results. This information is used to calculate skin concerns (e.g., blotchiness, lack of radiance, size of pores, pigmentation, fine lines, firmness, depth of wrinkles, UV damage), which are used to provide you with results.

Based on results of the foregoing and the information you provide, such as gender, age, Your skin type, Your skin concerns (such as sensitivity), and Your skin priorities, you will be provided with your skin results. Results may include information such as skin radiance, even tone, pore quality, pigmentation, firmness, fine lines, and wrinkles; a comparison to people within your age range and/or skin quality; and a suggested skincare routine.

Your Consent For Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

When You use MyRoutine AI, you specifically consent that:

  • La Roche-Posay is collecting, capturing, possessing, storing, or obtaining the picture You provide, and data obtained or created from Your picture (including the automated recognition of various facial landmarks), that might qualify as biometric data, biometric information, or a biometric identifier under various laws.
  • La Roche-Posay may share, disclose, or disseminate information about You with any other affiliated company or brand (including its parent and subsidiaries) as well as its service providers (such as the provider of cloud services used to provide You with the service).

Data Retention

La Roche-Posay only briefly stores your selfie. Once the information is returned to You, Your selfie is deleted from the central cloud-based hub (generally within a matter of seconds of completion of the analysis).

The coordinates of facial landmarks, information you provide (gender, age, skin type, skin concerns, etc.), measurements made by the algorithm(s), calculations made from such measurements (i.e., skin concerns), the results from the analysis provided to You, and all recommendations provided to You are stored in the central cloud hub to help La Roche-Posay and its affiliates (including its parent and subsidiaries) improve its products and its users’ experiences. This data will be stored only as long as needed for La Roche-Posay and its affiliates’ (including its parent and subsidiaries) business purposes and in any event, no longer than 3 years after our last interaction with You.

Email Marketing

If You voluntarily provide La Roche-Posay with Your name and contact information (‘contact information’), or You sign up to receive promotional messages from La Roche-Posay, any information you provide while using MyRoutine AI (i.e., skin type, skin sensitivities, skin concerns, age), the results of the analysis (i.e., calculated age, calculated skin concerns), the skin report shown to You (i.e., skin analysis on key skin attributes), and all recommendations will be stored within Your profile at La Roche-Posay. If you provide La Roche-Posay with Your name and contact information, the information listed will be retained by La Roche-Posay in accordance with La Roche-Posay’s record retention and Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable law. For residents of Illinois, we will only store information derived from the analysis of Your selfie (i.e., Your skin results) as long as needed by La Roche-Posay and in any event no longer than 3 years from the date of our last interaction with You.
