LAST UPDATED: APRIL 2026
1. Introduction
At Charlotte Tilbury, we are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. You must be 18 or older to buy our products and services and/or create an account. This website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
2. Who We Are
This website is operated by Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Limited, registered in England and Wales (company number 08037372) with registered address at 8 Surrey Street, London WC2R 2ND, United Kingdom
The data controller of your personal data depends on the delivery destination of your order or, where you are not placing an order, your location:
For orders with a UK delivery address, or where you are otherwise located in the UK, the data controller is Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Limited. For orders with an EEA delivery address, or where you are otherwise located in the EEA, the data controller is Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Ireland Limited, a company registered in Ireland (company number 736254) with registered address at 6th Floor, 2 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, D02 A342, Ireland.
References in this Privacy Policy to "us", "we" or "our" refer to the relevant data controller identified above, unless we state otherwise.
In some cases, other Charlotte Tilbury group entities, Puig group companies or authorised Retail Partners may act as independent controllers for their own processing activities. Where this applies, the relevant controller will be identified at the point of collection, purchase or interaction.
Our Group Companies
We are part of the Charlotte Tilbury group, which includes entities owned or controlled by Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Limited that operate Charlotte Tilbury websites or are responsible for stores, concessions, stands or events in your country.
We are also part of the wider Puig group of companies. Where you provide your consent (where required by law), we may share your personal data with other Puig group companies so that they can send you their own marketing communications. The Puig group operates a portfolio of brands across beauty, fashion and fragrance. We will provide you with information about the relevant Puig group companies and this processing at the time we ask for your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Retail Partners
Charlotte Tilbury products and services may also be sold through authorised third-party retailers (“Retail Partners”). A list of our authorised Retail Partners is available here. Where you purchase Charlotte Tilbury products from a Retail Partner, that Retail Partner will typically act as an independent controller in relation to its own processing of your personal data. Please refer to the Retail Partner’s privacy notice for information about how they use your personal data.

Sensitive Personal Data
We may collect and use certain personal data that is treated under data protection laws as special category data or sensitive personal data, but only where an appropriate condition under UK/EU data protection law applies, such as your explicit consent or compliance with legal obligations (for example, product safety reporting). This may include information such as allergy or skin-sensitivity information, or information you provide in relation to product safety or events.
Where we process facial imagery for features such as skin analysis or virtual try-on, we use it to provide the requested feature and do not use it to verify your identity or for identity authentication purposes.
Where we rely on your explicit consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. Where we must process and retain information to comply with legal obligations (for example, product safety reporting), we may continue to process that information even if consent is withdrawn.

The table below summarises the categories of personal data we process, the purposes for which we use it, and the legal bases we rely on.

As a global business, some of our group companies and service providers are located outside the UK or EEA, which may require your personal data to be transferred to or accessed from countries outside those territories.

For example, we generally retain order and transaction records for up to six years after the end of the relevant financial year. After that, data is deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
