Purpose
The purpose of the collection, storage, processing, and use of personal information for E-Shade Finder is to provide You with a meaningful, efficient way to evaluate products for potential purchase and use. When You use Lancôme ’s E-Shade Finder, Lancôme collects and processes certain data, see “How It Works,” infra, in order to deliver a better beauty experience to You. Lancôme may use information about You to communicate with You about Lancôme ’s beauty products and services; answer questions; create better experiences; provide tailored advertising, content, services, recommendations, and communications; fulfill product purchases and process payments; analyze use of Lancôme ’s products and services, without any associated personal identification information of users, so as to improve effectiveness of Lancôme ’s Site, customer service, and offerings, including improvement of the virtual E-Shade Finder tool and underlying algorithm; conduct research, including high-level analytics without associated personal identification information; to comply with applicable laws or legal obligations; and TO ENFORCE THE TERMS OF USE, which additionally govern and apply to Your use of E-Shade Finder.
How It Works
In order to use E-Shade Finder You must upload a video selfie of Yourself. Your video selfie will be transmitted from your device to a central cloud-based hub, where it is broken down into frames. Lancôme will use an algorithm to analyze the video selfie to detect face landmarks to localize the region around key facial features (i.e., outline of eyes, lower part of nose, outline of lips, etc.). This information is used to center, zoom, crop, and remove unnecessary features from the image(s) (such as eyes, nose, and mouth).
Lancôme will use an additional algorithm to analyze the frames to calculate an estimate of Your skin tone. By analyzing multiple frames from the video You uploaded, the algorithm will take an average of the values and match it to a model. This information is used to provide you with recommendations. You will then be provided with Your results and suggested product(s).
