Privacy Policy

Unilever takes privacy seriously. The following principles guide our treatment of your personal information:

• We value the trust you place in Unilever when sharing your personal information with us.

• We strive to be transparent with you about what information we collect, what we do with it and with whom we share it.

• We will work with you to promptly address your concerns about how we use your personal information.

• We will take steps to keep your personal information secure and to protect it from misuse.

Unilever is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Unilever brands in Canada (“Unilever”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and its Canadian brands treat personal information on our websites, applications, and platforms where the Policy is located (the “Platform”). The Policy also applies to information collected offline through our Careline and consumer call centres, direct marketing campaigns, sweepstakes and competitions, in-store, and through any other interactions you may have with us.

In this Policy, your "personal information" means information or pieces of information that could allow you to be identified. This typically includes information such as your name, address, screen name, profile picture, email address, and telephone number, but can also include other information such as IP address, shopping habits, preferences and information about your lifestyle or preferences such as your hobbies and interests.

Below, we set out examples of the types of personal information we collect about you:

• Contact Information. For example, we may collect your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address. We may also collect your mobile phone number.

• Demographic Information. We may collect your birthdate, age, gender and postal code. We may also collect information that could identify you and relates to your hobbies, interests and shopping behavior.

• Information You Post. We may collect information you post in a public space on our Platform, such as on our Ratings & Reviews feature.

• Social Media Information. We may collect information you post on our social media pages. We may also collect your social media profile information and information posted on your page.

• Employment Information. If you apply for a job through our Platform, we collect the information you include in your application. For example, this may include the name and address of your employer and your employment history.

• Information You Submit. We may collect information when you send us a message through the “Contact Us” page or similar features on our Platform. This may include photos, videos and other user-generated content that you submit.

• Device Information. For example, we may collect the type of device you use to access our Platform. We may also collect your device identifier, IP address or mobile operating system.

• Location Information. For example, we may collect precise location information from your device. This may include information about your exact location when you use our Platform. We may also collect this information in the background when our mobile applications are not in use. For more information about your options related to the collection of your location information, see the Choices section below.

• Payment Information. For example, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, credit card number and billing address.

• Other Information. If you use our website, we may collect information about the browser you are using. We might look at what site you came from, or what site you visit when you leave us. If you register on the Platform, we may collect your username, profile picture, gender, networks and any other information you choose to share when using third party sites (such as when you use the “like” functionality on Facebook).

Unilever collects your information in different ways. Below are some examples of how we may collect your information.

• Directly From You. For example, when you:

• Register for an account.

• Purchase products or services through our Platform.

• Sign up to receive promotional communications.

• Request a sample or coupon.

• Join a loyalty, rewards or similar program or club.

• Passively. For example, when you:

• Visit and navigate our Platform on any device.

• Enable location-based features on our Platform.

• Click on sponsored links or third-party advertisements.

We may also collect information about users over time and across different websites, apps and devices when you use the Platform. Third parties also collect personal information this way on our Platform.

• From Third Parties. We may receive information about you from other sources. For example, this may include receiving information from:

• Our business partners, including online advertising networks, analytics vendors, and companies that co-sponsor our promotions.

• Social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat and Instagram.

• Third party sites, including those that allow you to integrate your third-party account with your Unilever account.

• Family, friends and others who provide your information to us because they think you may be interested in our products and services or they want to share a product or service with you.

• Companies (e.g., retailers) that provide information to supplement what we already know about you, including data aggregators. Certain third parties might link your name or email address to other information they have collected. That might include past purchases made offline or online. It might also include online usage information.

• By Combining Information. For example, we may:

• Combine information that we collect offline with information we collect through our Platform.

• Combine information we collect about you from the different devices you use to access our Platform.

• Combine information we get from third parties with information we already have about you.

We may use your personal information in the following ways:

• To Improve Our Products and Services. We may use your personal information to make our Platform, products and services better. We may also use your personal information to customize your experience with us.

• To Understand Your Interests. For example, we may use your personal information to better understand what products interest you.

• For Marketing Purposes. We may provide you with information about new products and special offers. We might use your personal information to serve you ads about products and offers. We might tell you about new features or updates. These might be third-party offers or products we think you might find interesting. We may also use your personal information to send you electronic communications, including through email or text message.

• For Interest-Based Advertising. We and our third party partners may engage in interest-based advertising using personal information gathered across multiple websites, devices, or other platforms to serve you relevant advertising on our Platform or on other sites, services and mobile applications or on other devices you may use. We may share a common account identifier (such as an email address or user ID) or hashed data with our third-party advertising partners (the TradeDesk, for example) to help identify you across devices or serve you ads on social media sites you may use. We and our third-party partners use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research. If you do not wish Unilever to use a common account identifier to show you relevant ads you can opt-out here. This link will take you to a tool which will allow you to opt-out of certain online advertising and tracking activities. For more information about your choices related to these communications, see the “Online Advertising and Third Party Tracking” section below.

• For Security Purposes. This could include protecting our company and consumers who use our products and services. It may also include protecting our Platform.

You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain cookies.

We work with third parties (e.g., advertisers, advertising agencies, advertising networks, data exchanges, etc.) that use their own tracking technologies (including cookies and pixel tags) on our Platform in order to deliver to you tailored content on the Platform or other third party sites, including more relevant advertising for products and services which may be of interest to you. These third parties may collect information about your activity on our Platform and third-party websites (such as web pages you visit and your interaction with our advertising and other communications) and may set and access their own cookies, clear gifs and similar tracking technologies on your device in order to help us or these third parties deliver tailored content and advertising to you when you visit the Platform or third party sites based on predictions about your interests generated from your online browsing activities across websites.

• For Other Reasons We May Describe to You.

The Platform is designed and intended for use by adults. Where the Platform is intended for use by a younger audience, we will obtain consent where necessary from a parent or guardian before we collect, use, or disclose personal information from their children. We also strive to collect the minimum amount of personal information from children necessary to provide them with the services requested and communicate with them. Such personal information may include contact information, demographic information, and device information (as described in “Types of Information We Collect”). We use and disclose this information as indicated in "How We Use Your Information" and "How We Share Your Personal Information." If you are a child over the age where parental consent is required in your country, you should review the terms of this Policy with your parent or guardian to make sure you understand and accept them.

If we discover that we have collected information without consent from a parent or guardian where such consent should have been obtained, we will delete that information as soon as possible.

Access to certain parts of the Platform and/or eligibility to receive prizes, samples or other rewards may be limited to users over a certain age. We may use your personal information to carry out age verification checks and enforce any such age restrictions.
