Your information & choices

Privacy Policy

Celine Claire Cosmetic Inc. uses personal information to operate the store, complete orders, answer questions, provide product recommendations and improve the customer experience. This policy explains what we collect, why we use it, when service providers receive it and how you can make a privacy request.

Marketing, analytics and advertising are not the same as information required to complete an order. Where consent is required, those choices are made separately.

Contact the Privacy Officer
Effective date: September 11, 2026 Last updated: September 11, 2026
01 · Summary

The main points

  • We collect information needed to provide the service or feature you request.
  • Checkout, payment, shipping and order support require certain information.
  • The Hair Quiz can show its core result without requiring your email address.
  • Marketing consent is separate from transactional order messages.
  • Optional analytics and advertising technologies follow the choices available in the consent tool.
  • We use service providers for functions such as hosting, payments, delivery, communications, analytics and advertising.
  • Some service providers may process information outside Canada.
  • We do not use customer information for a new, unrelated purpose without an appropriate basis and notice or consent.
  • You may contact the Privacy Officer to ask about access, correction or another available privacy right.
02 · Scope

When this policy applies

This policy applies to personal information handled by Celine Claire through:

  • celineclaire.com and the website's store, cart and checkout;
  • customer accounts;
  • the Hair Quiz and saved or emailed results;
  • contact, order-support and return requests;
  • newsletter and promotional signups;
  • product reviews, photographs and UGC submissions;
  • website analytics, advertising and consent records;
  • direct customer communications connected to the website.

Purchases or interactions completed on Amazon, another retailer, a salon or a social platform are also governed by that third party's privacy terms. Celine Claire's policy applies to information the brand receives and controls from those channels.

03 · What personal information means

Information that identifies or relates to you

Personal information can identify someone directly or through a combination of details. It may include a name, email address, telephone number, shipping address, order history, IP address, device identifier, cookie ID, account information, customer message, photograph, video or quiz response connected to an identifiable person.

Anonymous or aggregated information that cannot reasonably identify an individual is not treated as personal information. Pseudonymous identifiers can still be personal information when they can be connected back to a person or device.

04 · Information you provide

Information collected directly from you

Orders and checkout

We collect the information needed to process and support an order: name, email, telephone, billing and shipping addresses, products, quantities, prices, discounts and transaction currency, shipping method, order notes, tax and destination information, payment status and limited payment-reference details, order/refund/support history.

Payment-card details are handled by the payment gateway and its secure checkout components. Celine Claire does not store complete card numbers or card security codes on this website.

Accounts

If you create an account, we collect account credentials in protected form, profile details, saved addresses, order history and account preferences. Passwords are stored using the platform's secure hashing process, not as readable text.

Hair Quiz and recommendations

The Hair Quiz may collect answers about hair concerns, texture, density, scalp preferences, colour or chemical-treatment history, heat styling and routine preferences. Anonymous quiz completion does not require a name or email. If you choose to email or save the result, the site may connect the result to the contact information you provide. Marketing messages require a separate optional consent.

The quiz provides cosmetic product guidance. It does not request a diagnosis, medical record or unnecessary health detail.

Contact, support and returns

When you contact Celine Claire, we may collect your name, contact details, order number, product details, message, photographs, uploaded files and the history needed to respond.

Complete card details, passwords or unrelated medical records are not requested through the ordinary contact form. Sensitive information requires a specific purpose, restricted access and an approved intake process.

Reviews, photographs and videos

When you submit a review or UGC, we may collect your public display name, private contact details, rating, review text, product relationship, purchase channel, hair context, photographs, videos and permission choices. Website, organic social, email and paid-advertising permissions are recorded separately.

Newsletter and promotions

When you subscribe, we collect the email address and the consent record — form, wording, source, date, time and available technical evidence. Placing an order, contacting support or completing the Hair Quiz does not automatically subscribe someone to marketing.

05 · Automatic collection

Website, device and interaction information

The website and its service providers may collect: IP address and approximate location, browser / OS / device type, pages viewed, referring page or campaign, search / quiz / cart / checkout interactions, cookie and similar identifiers, consent choices and timestamps, diagnostic / security / fraud signals, and advertising interactions when permitted.

This policy describes the systems Celine Claire actually runs today. The website uses Google Analytics 4 through a Google tag, Jetpack site statistics, and WooCommerce order-source attribution. No advertising or retargeting pixel is installed. If we introduce one, this policy will be updated before it is switched on.

06 · Sources

Sources of personal information

We may receive personal information directly from you; from your browser or device through the website; from WooCommerce and connected store services; from shipping, fulfilment and carrier services; from Google or Meta when their permitted analytics or advertising tools are used; from an email or customer-communication provider; from Amazon, a retailer, salon or social platform when the relationship and applicable terms allow information to be provided to Celine Claire; from fraud-prevention or security services.

Celine Claire works with a small number of service providers so that the website and your orders function: Hostinger (website hosting), the shop and website software that runs celineclaire.com, CookieYes (the cookie consent notice and the record of your choice), ipapi.co (an approximate country lookup so prices can be shown in a sensible currency), and our email delivery service, which sends order and account messages.

Some pages also load fonts from Google Fonts and script libraries from Cloudflare’s public CDN, and comment or review avatars may be requested from Gravatar. These providers receive the network information needed to deliver the file, including your IP address.

07 · Purposes

Why information is used

We use personal information to:

  • provide the website and requested features;
  • display the appropriate market, currency, shipping, tax and payment route;
  • process, confirm, fulfil and support orders;
  • prevent fraud, abuse and security incidents;
  • maintain accounts and preferences;
  • provide Hair Quiz recommendations and requested saved or emailed results;
  • answer product, order, wholesale and support questions;
  • review returns, refunds, product-quality reports and delivery issues;
  • publish approved reviews and UGC according to recorded permissions;
  • send marketing when the recipient has provided the required consent or another permitted basis applies;
  • measure website performance and understand customer journeys when permitted;
  • personalize or measure advertising when permitted;
  • maintain tax, accounting, transaction, consent and compliance records;
  • enforce store terms and protect customers, the company and the website;
  • respond to legal requests and fulfil legal obligations.

If Celine Claire wants to use information for a new purpose that is not compatible with the original context, it will provide appropriate notice and obtain fresh consent where required.

09 · Market & currency detection

Location information used for shopping

The website may use IP-based approximate location to make an initial market estimate. The final shipping address controls product currency, shipping, tax and gateway rules at checkout.

Canada uses CAD. The United States and other supported countries outside Canada and the UAE use USD. UAE prices are converted from the maintained USD price into AED.

Precise device location is not collected for this purpose. If precise location is ever requested, an explicit permission and clear reason will be shown.

10 · Payments

Payment

Online card payment is not open on this website yet. When a payment provider is connected, the methods available for your destination are shown at checkout before you pay, and this policy is updated first.

Payment providers receive information required to authorize, settle, prevent fraud, manage disputes and refund transactions. The service-provider table below identifies each provider, information involved, purpose and processing location once verified.

Celine Claire may retain payment status, gateway transaction reference, card brand and limited masked information when supplied by the gateway. Complete card numbers or security codes are not stored in WooCommerce, logs, analytics or support messages.

11 · Shipping & fulfilment

Delivering an order

Celine Claire shares the information needed for delivery with approved fulfilment, shipping, label and carrier providers. This can include the recipient name, address, telephone number, email, package contents or customs description, value and tracking information.

International delivery may require information to be provided to carriers, customs brokers and authorities in another country.

Orders are shipped through Stallion Express and the delivery services available through it. To deliver your parcel, the carrier receives the name, delivery address and contact details needed for the shipment.

12 · Analytics

Understanding website use

If enabled and permitted by the visitor's choices, Celine Claire may use Google Analytics or related measurement tools to understand traffic, page use, product discovery and checkout performance.

Celine Claire uses a Google tag (ID GT-WRHSG7XC), installed through the Site Kit by Google plugin and connected to a Google Analytics 4 property. It sets the _ga and _ga_P3W539K55X cookies, each lasting 400 days. Jetpack also records site statistics through stats.wp.com using the tk_ai, tk_lr, tk_or and tk_r3d cookies. Google Tag Manager is not used, and no Google Ads conversion or remarketing tag appears on this website.

Analytics is not called anonymous merely because a report is aggregated. Device and cookie identifiers may still be personal information.

13 · Advertising & retargeting

Meta and Google advertising

If the visitor provides the required choice, the website may use Meta Pixel, Meta Conversions API, Google Ads tags or related technologies to measure campaigns, build audiences, limit repeated ads and show more relevant advertising.

Depending on the verified setup, these tools may receive browser, device, page, product, cart, purchase and campaign information. Customer-provided data is not sent for advertising unless configuration, notice, consent and platform terms support it. If information is hashed before transfer, the underlying data category is disclosed — hashing does not automatically make it anonymous.

Celine Claire does not use the Meta Pixel or the Meta Conversions API, and no Meta, TikTok or Pinterest advertising pixel is installed on this website. No Google Ads conversion or remarketing tag appears on this website.

Retargeting will not be promised by bypassing consent or browser privacy controls.

14 · Email communications

Transactional and marketing messages

Transactional messages include order confirmation, payment status, shipping, account security, support and return communications. They are sent to provide the requested service.

Marketing messages include promotions, product news, routine education and campaigns. They require the appropriate consent or another legally permitted basis. Every marketing email identifies the sender and provides a working unsubscribe mechanism.

Order confirmations, account emails and replies from customer care are sent through our email delivery service using the celineclaire.com domain. If you sign up for haircare news, we record the address you gave us, the wording of the consent you agreed to, the version of that wording, where you signed up and when. Every marketing email identifies Celine Claire and includes a working unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing suppresses further marketing to that address.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent necessary messages about an active order or support request.

15 · Reviews & UGC

Public content and permissions

Approved review text, display names, photographs and videos may be published according to the permission provided. Public content can be copied, indexed or shared by others once it appears online.

Private contact details are kept separate from the public proof record. A published review does not expose an email, order number, home address or other private information.

Read Reviews & Results for proof labels and submission standards. The final UGC terms will explain licence scope, moderation, withdrawal requests and paid-advertising use.

16 · Cookies & similar technologies

Website storage and tracking choices

Cookies, local storage, pixels, tags and similar technologies may support checkout, security, preferences, analytics and advertising. Necessary technologies may operate to provide the site and requested services. Optional analytics and advertising technologies follow the choices available in the consent tool where required.

Read the Cookie Policy for the current technology list, provider, purpose, duration and category.

17 · When information is shared

Service providers and other recipients

Celine Claire may provide personal information to organizations that perform services on its behalf or receive information for a disclosed purpose. These may include: website hosting and infrastructure; the shop and website software; payment processors once connected; shipping, fulfilment, customs and carriers; email and customer-support services; analytics and advertising platforms; security, fraud-prevention and backup services; accountants, insurers, legal advisers and other professional advisers; government, regulatory, law-enforcement or legal recipients where required or permitted; a buyer, investor or successor involved in a proposed or completed business transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards and law.

Celine Claire remains accountable for personal information under its control when a service provider processes it on the company's behalf.

18 · Named service-provider register

Providers, information and status

The public register identifies providers or clear recipient categories. Detailed operational configuration lives in a private accountability register.

Online card payment is enabled on this website and is processed by Square. Card details are entered into Square’s own secure fields and are handled by Square — not Celine Claire.

19 · Cross-border processing

Information may be processed outside Canada

Some service providers may process or store personal information in the United States or another jurisdiction. Information in another country may be subject to that country's laws and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement or government authorities under lawful process.

Celine Claire remains accountable for personal information under its control and uses contractual, technical and organizational measures appropriate to the service and information.

Some of these providers operate outside Canada, and information may be stored or processed in other countries where privacy laws differ from Canadian law. Where that happens, the information remains subject to the contractual and legal protections that apply to us and to that provider.

20 · Retention

Information is not kept indefinitely

Celine Claire retains personal information only as long as needed for the identified purpose, legal and accounting requirements, fraud prevention, dispute handling, consent evidence and security. Information is then deleted, anonymized or securely destroyed according to the approved schedule.

As long as necessary is not used as the only internal retention rule — every system has a defined period or event and a deletion owner.

21 · Safeguards

Protecting personal information

Celine Claire uses administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity and context of the information. These may include access controls, strong authentication, encryption in transit, software updates, backups, logging, staff confidentiality, service-provider review and procedures for responding to incidents.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Please use a unique password and avoid sending complete payment-card details or passwords through email or support forms.

The website is served over an encrypted connection, access to the administration area is restricted to accounts that need it, and payment card numbers are never held by Celine Claire. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we keep the amount of information we hold to what we actually need.

22 · Privacy incidents

Responding to a breach

Celine Claire maintains an incident process to contain, investigate, document and assess a breach of security safeguards. When required, it will notify affected individuals, regulators or other organizations as soon as feasible under the applicable rules.

The private breach register includes every breach required by the governing framework and remains restricted to authorized personnel. Technical details that could weaken security are not published; internal escalation does not wait for public wording.

23 · Access, correction & withdrawal

Your privacy requests

Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, you may ask Celine Claire to:

  • explain whether it holds personal information about you;
  • provide access to eligible information;
  • explain how eligible information has been used or disclosed;
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • withdraw an optional consent;
  • delete eligible information;
  • stop certain marketing or optional tracking;
  • ask a question or challenge a privacy practice.

Some requests may be limited by legal, security, fraud, privilege, third-party privacy or record-retention requirements. To make a request, contact the Privacy Officer. Enough information to verify identity and locate the record may be requested. Do not send a copy of government identification unless the Privacy Officer confirms it is necessary and provides an approved secure method.

Contact the Privacy Officer

Use the Contact page and choose Privacy request, or reach the Privacy Officer directly with your name, contact information, request type and enough context to locate the relevant order, account, form or submission. Do not include passwords or complete payment-card details.

Requests are answered within the period required by applicable law. The internal PIPEDA workflow tracks the 30-day response requirement and any lawful extension or refusal process.

25 · Complaints

Raising a privacy concern

Send the concern to the Privacy Officer first so Celine Claire can investigate and respond. If the concern is not resolved, you may contact the privacy regulator that has jurisdiction over the matter, including the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada where applicable.

Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada: priv.gc.ca

No particular regulator outcome is promised.

26 · Children

Children's information

The store and Hair Quiz are not designed to collect personal information from children without appropriate involvement from a parent or guardian.

Saved Hair Quiz results and our email list are intended for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly keep saved quiz results for, or send marketing email to, anyone under 18. Hair Quiz guidance is general information and is not a medical diagnosis. If you believe a child has given us personal information, write to privacy@celineclaire.com and we will remove it.

If Celine Claire learns that personal information was collected contrary to the approved age process, it will investigate and delete or otherwise handle it according to applicable law.

27 · Automated recommendations

Hair Quiz results

The Hair Quiz uses the answers provided to match customers with Celine Claire products and routines. It provides cosmetic shopping guidance and does not make a legal, employment, credit, insurance or medical decision.

Customers can ignore the recommendation, change answers, retake the quiz or browse products directly.

28 · External websites & Amazon

Other platforms have their own policies

Links may take customers to Amazon, social networks, payment-provider pages or another website. Those organizations control their own services and privacy practices.

Amazon purchases and Amazon review activity are governed by Amazon's terms and privacy notice. Celine Claire's Amazon partner arrangement does not make the website policy a substitute for Amazon's notice.

29 · Policy changes

Updates to this policy

Celine Claire may update this policy when its services, providers, technology or legal obligations change. The page shows the true effective or updated date.

When a change materially affects an existing consent or the way information is used, appropriate notice will be provided and a new choice obtained when required. An internal version history is kept.

30 · Privacy FAQ

Common privacy questions

Does placing an order subscribe me to marketing?

No. Order and delivery messages are transactional. Marketing requires a separate optional consent or another permitted basis.

Do I need to provide an email to see my Hair Quiz result?

No. The core result appears without requiring an email. Email is optional for saving or sending the result, and marketing remains a separate choice.

Does Celine Claire store my complete card number?

No. Card details are entered through the payment provider’s own secure components, never stored by us. Celine Claire may retain limited payment references supplied with the order.

Why does the website use my location?

Approximate IP-based location may set an initial market. The final shipping address confirms currency, shipping, tax and payment routing. Precise device location is not required for that process.

Can I turn off advertising cookies?

Use the consent-preference centre where the choice is available. Withdrawing advertising consent prevents future optional advertising tags from firing on that browser, subject to necessary technical records and applicable settings.

Are Hair Quiz answers health information?

The quiz is designed for cosmetic product preferences and does not request a diagnosis or medical record. Avoid entering unnecessary medical details.

Can I ask Celine Claire to delete my information?

You may submit a deletion request. Some information may need to be retained for orders, tax, fraud prevention, disputes, security or another legal requirement.

Is information processed outside Canada?

It may be. Some payment, hosting, analytics, advertising, email, security or delivery providers may process information in another country, where lawful access rules can differ.

How do I make a privacy complaint?

Contact the Privacy Officer at order@celineclaire.com or through the Contact page. If the matter is not resolved, you may contact the regulator with jurisdiction.
