Charlotte Tilbury Online Beauty Privacy Class Action Settlement?

Charlotte Tilbury, a popular online beauty consultation service and cosmetics company has agreed to settle a $2.925 million class action lawsuit. The class action lawsuit alleged that Charlotte Tilbury violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, (BIPA). BIPA is closely tied to consumer privacy and data breach class actions. According to the class action lawsuit, Charlotte Tilbury allegedly violated the privacy law in several ways through some of their virtual "try-on" tools:

• By Collecting biometric data without consent: The company allegedly captured and stored users' facial geometry scans through their "Charlotte's Virtual Try On" tool and other beauty tech features without obtaining informed written consent from users.

• Lack of disclosure: Charlotte Tilbury allegedly failed to inform users that their biometric information was being collected, stored, and used.

• No retention schedule: The company reportedly did not provide a publicly available written policy establishing a retention schedule and guidelines for permanently destroying the biometric data.

• Failure to disclose data sharing: Charlotte Tilbury allegedly did not inform users that their biometric information was being shared with affiliates and third parties.

• Lack of purpose and duration disclosure: The company reportedly failed to inform users about the specific purpose and length of time for which their biometric data was being collected, stored, and used.

These alleged violations center around the collection and handling of biometric data without proper consent, disclosure, and policies as required by BIPA. The settlement indicates that Charlotte Tilbury denies these allegations but regardless has agreed anyway to make changes to comply with BIPA and compensate affected Illinois residents.
