Skin Precision Analyzer Information Notice
Last Updated: October 2022
Giorgio Armani Beauty, part of L’Oréal USA, Inc. (collectively, “Giorgio Armani Beauty”), has instituted the following Information Notice related to any personal information that Giorgio Armani Beauty may obtain, possess, use, process, transfer, or store about you (“You”) because of Your use of Skin Precision Analyzer. For further information about Giorgio Armani Beauty’s privacy practices as they relate to this service or other personal information Giorgio Armani Beauty collects about You when You use our website or other Giorgio Armani Beauty services, please review Giorgio Armani Beauty’s PRIVACY POLICY.
Purpose
The purpose of the collection, storage, processing, and use of personal information for Skin Precision Analyzer is to provide You with a meaningful, efficient way to evaluate products for potential purchase and use. When You use Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Skin Precision Analyzer, Giorgio Armani Beauty collects and processes certain data, see “How It Works,” infra, in order to deliver a better beauty experience to You. Giorgio Armani Beauty may use information about You to communicate with You about Giorgio Armani Beauty’s 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 Giorgio Armani Beauty’s products and services, without any associated personal identification information of users, so as to improve effectiveness of Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Site, customer service, and offerings, including improvement of the virtual Skin Precision Analyzer tool and underlying algorithm; conduct research, including high-level analytics without associated personal identification information; to comply with applicable laws or legal obligations; and TO ENFORCE THE TERMS OF USE, which additionally govern and apply to Your use of Skin Precision Analyzer.
How It Works
In order to use Skin Precision Analyzer, 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. Giorgio Armani Beauty 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. It is not used to identify or verify the identity of any individual.
Giorgio Armani Beauty 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, skin type, skin concerns, and 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.
