Why you are required to provide personal data

In general, your provision of any personal data or granting of consent to a processing activity is entirely voluntary. However, there are certain circumstances in which Winq Cosmetics cannot take action without processing certain personal data, for example to process your orders, or to assist you with use of our Services, or to provide access to a web offering or newsletter. In these cases, it will not be possible for Winq Cosmetics to provide what you request without the relevant personal information. In some circumstances, Winq Cosmetics may need to terminate your ability to use the Services without access to your personal data. Winq Cosmetics intends to notify you of whether such communication or data sharing is deemed mandatory and the impact of not sharing.

Sharing of your personal data

We may also disclose your personal information to other business partners. Unless otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy, we will only do so with your consent. We do not in any event sell or lease any of your personal information.

Where you post information to our wikis, forums, blogs, message boards, chat rooms, websites or other social networking environments, your information will be shared with audiences within those platforms.

We may share your personal data based on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

However, we will store personal data for a longer period where (a) we are required by law to retain your personal data or (b) your personal data is required for Blur to assert or defend against legal claims.
