However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

  • Companies in the Walgreens Boots Alliance group, as sometimes different areas of our group are responsible for different activities. Where we do this, we ensure that they treat it with the same level of care and security as we do.
  • Companies that provide services on our behalf, such as payment processors, printers, couriers, suppliers and analytical processors.
  • Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts.
  • We may share your personal information with third parties where required or permitted by law, if we believe we need to do so to protect our rights and interests, or to comply with legal proceedings. In such cases, we will always do so legally and with due regard to privacy.

Keeping you up to date

If you have given consent, we'll send you marketing messages by email, phone and social media to keep you aware of what we’re up to and keep you updated on our latest news and offers.

How to stop marketing messages from us

You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time.

You can do this:

  • Through your online account - by deselecting the checkbox against the particular communication method you wish to change.
  • By contacting our Customer Centre team on +44 (0)1983 813913 or our freephone number (UK) is 0800 413318 or via email on naturallyactive@lizearle.com

Once you do this, we will update your profile to ensure that you don't receive further marketing messages from us. Please note that it might take a few days for all our systems to be updated, so you might get messages from us while we process your request. Also, please be aware that stopping marketing messages will not stop service communications (such as order confirmations).

Seeing our adverts

To help keep you up-to-date on what's available, and to help you find our products, we also engage in online advertising. Like many other brands, we target Liz Earle banners and ads to you when you are visiting other websites. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and use a range of technologies including pixels, ad tags, cookies and mobile identifiers, as well as specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook's Custom Audience service.

The banners and ads you see will be based on information we hold about you, or your previous use of Liz Earle (for example, your lizearle.com search and order history, and the content you read on our website) or on Liz Earle banners or ads you have previously clicked on.


Subscription Service

If you have signed up to the Subscription Service, Liz Earle will use your personal information such as your name, contact information and product preference to provide you with the Subscription Service. Your personal data will be stored for as long as you participate in the service and as required for legal reasons. You can opt out of the service at any time by simply navigating to your Subscription Management area under your My Account section online and selecting the Cancel option for the subscription/s you wish to cancel/”opt out” of.


Liz Earle Beauty Rewards

If you have signed up to the Liz Earle Beauty Rewards programme, Liz Earle will use your personal information such as your name, contact information, order history and account activity to provide you with the Liz Earle Beauty Rewards service. Your personal data will be stored for as long as you participate in the service and as required for legal reasons. You can opt out of the service at any time by simply navigating to your My Rewards Dashboard area under your My Account section online and unticking the Opt In preference under My Rewards Preferences for the Beauty Rewards programme.

Your information and countries outside of Europe

We take protecting your information very seriously, and therefore, if your information is to be sent outside of the UK or Europe, we make sure it will be subject to standards of protection and security that are as high as those Liz Earle uses here in the UK - and that our practices are compliant with the conditions set out in the relevant privacy laws.

We take your data very seriously therefore we will always conduct a full review of all of our suppliers processes and procedures including storage solutions for our data. In order to ensure adequacy when sending your data outside of the UK we put in place contracts based on the Standard EU Model Contract Clauses which are designed by the European Commission to guarantee adequacy for any data transfer and processing of this nature.


Storing your information

We'll store your information for as long as you have your Liz Earle account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide our services to you, or, in the case of any contact you may have with our Customer Centre team, for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.

If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account, or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.

Please be aware that Liz Earle is a UK based company and stores personal data in the UK.
