Foundation Finder Information Notice

Maybelline New York, a member of the L’Oreal USA, Inc. family of brands, has instituted the following Information Notice related to any personal information that Maybelline New York may obtain, possess, use, process, transfer, or store about you (“You”) because of Your use of Foundation Finder. For further information about Maybelline New York’s privacy practices as they relate to this other personal information Maybelline New York collects about You when You use our website or other Maybelline New York services, please review Maybelline New York’s PRIVACY POLICY.

Purpose

The purpose of the collection, storage, processing, and use of personal information for Foundation Finder is to provide You with a meaningful, efficient way to evaluate products for potential purchase and use. When You use Maybelline New York’s Foundation Finder, Maybelline New York collects and processes certain data, see “How It Works,” infra, in order to deliver a better beauty experience to You. Maybelline New York may use information about You to communicate with You about Maybelline New York’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 Maybelline New York’s products and services, without any associated personal identification information of users, so as to improve effectiveness of Maybelline New York’s Site, customer service, and offerings, including improvement of the virtual Foundation 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 Foundation Finder.

How It Works

In order to use Foundation Finder You must upload a selfie of Yourself. Your selfie will be transmitted from your device to a central cloud-based hub. Foundation Finder uses an algorithm to analyze the selfie to detect Your face and certain key facial landmarks (i.e., the location of Your eyes, the center of Your eyes, location of mouth and nose, center of Your face, etc.). This information is used to center, zoom, crop, remove unnecessary features from the image(s), and to ensure the detected face is in the center of the image at the largest size possible that maintains the aspect ratio of the original image.

Foundation Founder will then analyze the image to calculate an estimate of Your skin tone. The image is initially analyzed to infer a broad classification of skin tone, which is used to adjust luminosity of the image dynamically. Based on the initial inference, the face region is analyzed. By analyzing multiple pixels from the selfie uploaded, Foundation Finder will take an average of the detected color values and match it to a model to infer skin tone. After inferring skin tone, the image is rendered and You will then be provided with Your results (i.e., your nearest skin tone match). If you disagree, You can select from different options. After you make your selection, and, depending on answers You provide in response to some additional questions along with the results of the analysis, Foundation Finder will suggest product(s).
