5. Shipping of beauty products

If the Customer chooses shipment within Italy of beauty products purchased on a standalone basis, EL SPA processes the address solely to prepare and fulfil the order, arrange transport, manage delivery, customer support, any returns, complaints and related administrative obligations.

The shipping address is not placed in the abandoned cart before checkout, is not used for commercial profiling, marketing, segmentation or AI systems, and is not recorded in checkout technical logs. Data required for delivery may be disclosed to the appointed carrier or logistics provider, according to the privacy role applicable in the specific case.

6. Commercial profiling

Only where the user provides specific consent may EL SPA analyse purchase history to derive indicators such as number of orders, average spend, frequency, preferred categories and commercial segments (for example, regular customer, customer at risk of inactivity, preference for certain categories). Such information may be used by staff to prepare proposals, coupons or suggestions that are more consistent with the interests shown.

Certain internal functions may use an artificial intelligence system to support staff in interpreting the profile. The payload sent to the AI system is minimised and does not include name, e-mail address, telephone number or shipping address. The AI does not make binding decisions, determine access to services, automatically change prices or produce legal or similarly significant effects: any initiative remains subject to human control.

Consent to profiling is optional, is not a condition of purchase and may be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawal prevents any new profiling, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal or the retention of order data required for contractual or legal purposes.

7. EL SPA AI Assistant

The website includes an AI Assistant that provides information about treatments and may suggest options based on the user’s current request, such as occasion, available time, preferences and budget. The assistant does not access purchase history, is not linked to the customer account and does not provide diagnoses or medical advice.

The assistant is designed not to request health data. If the system detects that the user is entering health information, the content is blocked before transmission to the AI provider and is not retained in the browser; a second server-side safeguard prevents such data from being sent to the model or stored in the database.

AI requests are routed through Lovable AI Gateway to an OpenAI model. The application uses a stateless configuration with the parameter store:false. This setting prevents application-level storage of the response by the AI endpoint, but does not in itself guarantee the complete absence of technical or security logs maintained by the provider under its applicable terms and agreements.

8. Recipients and service providers

  • authorised EL SPA personnel according to role and operational need;
  • Lovable/Lovable Cloud and Supabase infrastructure, for hosting, database, authentication and application services;
  • Lovable AI Gateway and, as the provider of the underlying model, OpenAI, for AI functionality;
  • Stripe, for electronic payments and fraud prevention;
  • carriers, couriers and logistics providers appointed to deliver beauty products, limited to the data required for shipment;
  • transactional e-mail providers and technical infrastructure used through the platform;
  • professional advisers, authorities and public bodies where required by law or necessary for the protection of rights.

9. Transfers outside the EEA

The project application database is configured in the EU AWS region eu-west-1 (Ireland). However, certain providers, particularly payment services and AI model providers or their subprocessors, may process data outside the European Economic Area. In such cases EL SPA requires the use of the transfer mechanisms provided by the GDPR, such as adequacy decisions/Data Privacy Framework where applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary measures.

The European location of the database does not necessarily mean that AI inference always takes place in the EU. EL SPA keeps this aspect under review and limits data transmitted to AI systems in accordance with the data minimisation principle.

10. Data relating to voucher/gift recipients

Where a purchaser provides another person’s data so that a voucher or gift can be sent to them, EL SPA processes those data solely to carry out the requested delivery and manage the voucher. The purchaser is asked to provide only accurate and necessary data. At the first contact, the recipient is provided with a reference to this notice pursuant to Article 14 GDPR.

11. Cookies and device technologies

The website uses necessary technical technologies and, subject to consent, functional technologies. As of the date of this notice, no third-party analytics or marketing/advertising tools are active. For the list, duration and management methods, please refer to the Cookie Policy and the Privacy Preferences Centre accessible from the footer.

12. Automated decision-making

EL SPA does not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect the user within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. AI systems and segmentation rules provide informational or commercial support under human supervision.

13. Data subject rights

Where applicable, the data subject may exercise the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and withdrawal of consent. For direct marketing and related profiling, the data subject may object or withdraw consent at any time. Requests may be sent to mail@elspa.it. A complaint may also be lodged with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

14. Security

Role-based access controls, Row Level Security in the database, segregation of administrative functions, log minimisation, limited retention of AI conversations and carts, recording of evidence of consent, scheduled automatic deletion for specific data categories and technical controls before data are sent to AI systems are applied.

15. Minors

The e-commerce services and personalisation features are not intentionally directed at minors. If EL SPA becomes aware that data have been collected inappropriately, it will take the necessary steps to delete or regularise them.

16. Changes

This notice may be updated following regulatory, organisational or technical changes. The current version and effective date are published on the website. Material changes to processing based on consent may require a new consent.
