We will use Third Party Data only for the purposes of delivering products ordered through our website to the relevant third party and for responding to any queries or correspondence relating to such delivery.

By providing us with Third Party Data, you confirm that the third party to whom the data relates consents to the processing of their personal data and that you have informed them of our identity and the purposes (as set out above) for which their personal data will be processed.

We take appropriate measures to ensure that personal data are kept secure and are kept for only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which they are used.

We only hold such personal data as you have provided to us and we update this personal data within 14 working days of any new or updated personal data being provided to us by you, to ensure that the personal data we hold about you is as accurate as possible.

When you purchase goods on our website, you will be automatically directed to a secure server site that is managed and controlled by Protx. Cult Beauty will not pass any information to Protx other than the description and the prices of the products purchased and a unique identification number. You will be asked to provide details to Protx for the purposes of processing the transaction.

In particular, unless expressly stated, we are not agents for these sites or advertisers, nor are we authorised to make representations on their behalf.

In the event that you register Your Personal Data or any Third Party Data with us (either through our website or otherwise) we will store Your Personal Data and any Third Party Data on our records for as long as you are a registered user. After you cease to be a registered user, we will keep Your Personal Data and any Third Party Data on our records for a period of [1] year to enable us to respond to any queries or complaints that you or the relevant third party may have. After this time we will delete the Third Party Data from our records (apart from any data that we are required to keep for legal reasons).
