Nothing is purchased on this site. Nars cosmetics information and Nars beauty products are published here for reading only, so no payment details are ever requested.
What this policy covers
Eleven short chapters, written in plain English. Jump to the one that answers your question, or read the whole page — it takes about six minutes and every line applies to this website only.
Questions about nars beauty articles, reader emails, or corrections to a shade guide are handled under the same rules described below.
If you send us a message, we use it to answer you. That is the whole purpose — and you can ask us to delete it.
The chapters below explain what we hold, why we hold it, how long it stays, and how to change your mind about any of it.
Information we collect
We collect the information you enter in the contact form: your name, your email address, and the content of your message. We also collect limited technical data generated by normal web browsing, such as the pages you visit on this site and the browser you use. We do not collect payment details, because no purchases are processed here.
In practice that means a reader who writes to ask which Nars makeup finish suits an oily complexion gives us a name, an address to reply to, and the words of the question. Nothing more is required, and the contact form has no field for anything else.
What the form asks for, and what it does not
- Your name
- Used to address the reply. Any name you are comfortable writing is fine.
- Email address
- The only channel we use to answer a reader question or a correction.
- Message content
- Kept so we can follow the thread if a shade guide needs verifying later.
- Browsing data
- Pages viewed and browser type, used to see which guides readers actually read.
- Not collected
- Card numbers, billing addresses, or any payment detail. No checkout exists on this site.
How we use your information
Contact form details are used to reply to your message and to follow up if a correction needs verification. Technical data is used to understand which guides readers find useful and to keep the site working. We do not use your information for advertising and we do not sell it.
If you write to point out that a finish description is out of date, we may come back to you once while we check the wording against the product line. That follow-up is the only reason a reply thread stays open.
Replying to you
Your email address carries the answer. It is not added to a marketing list and it is not shared with a brand partner.
Keeping guides accurate
Reader corrections help us keep Nars cosmetics information current, so a message may be referenced while a page is edited.
Understanding readership
Aggregate page views tell us whether the concealer comparison or the blush guide deserves the next round of research.
Running the site
Basic technical records help us find broken pages, slow loads, and the occasional contact form that fails to send.
What we do not do: build advertising profiles, sell reader lists, or hand your message to anyone outside the small group who answers the inbox.
Legal basis and consent
By submitting the contact form, you consent to us using your details to respond to your message. You can withdraw that consent at any time by asking us to delete your message and contact details, subject to any records we are required to keep.
Step one
You write to us
Submitting the form is the moment consent begins. The checkbox-free form is a deliberate choice: no pre-ticked boxes, no hidden opt-ins.
Step two
We keep it only to reply
Your message stays in the editorial inbox for the length of the conversation. It is not moved into any other system or mailing tool.
Step three
You change your mind
Ask us to delete the message and your contact details, and we will, unless a record has to be kept for a legal reason. We explain any limit that applies.
Cookies and similar technologies
This site uses cookies for basic functionality and to understand how pages are used. The cookie policy explains what is set, why, and how to control cookies in your browser. You can block or delete cookies without losing access to the guides.
Practical detail: blocking cookies affects our aggregate page counts, not your reading. Every guide, shade page, and comparison on the site stays open with cookies switched off.
Read the cookie policySharing and third parties
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share it with service providers who host the site or handle email delivery, and only to the extent needed for those functions. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of the site or its readers.
Service providers act on our instructions and are not permitted to use reader messages for their own purposes.
- Web hosting The provider that serves these pages sees routine technical traffic data, as any host does.
- Email delivery Contact form messages pass through an email service so they reach the editorial inbox reliably.
- Legal requests If a valid legal request arrives, we disclose only what that request actually covers.
- Never Sale, rental, or trade of reader information to data brokers or advertisers.
Retention
Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your query and any follow-up. Technical data is retained for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated. If you ask us to delete your message, we will do so unless we are required to keep it.
Aggregated numbers — how many readers opened the concealer comparison last month, for instance — carry no name, no email address, and no message text, so they can stay in our notes while the identifying parts are removed.
Your rights
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or ask for deletion. You can also object to certain processing. To make a request, use the contact page and describe what you want done. We may need to verify your identity before acting.
- Access. Ask what we hold, and we will describe the message and the contact details attached to it.
- Correction. If a name or address was mistyped, tell us the right version and we will fix the record.
- Deletion. Ask us to remove a message and its contact details, and we will unless a legal record must stay.
- Objection. You can object to specific processing and we will explain what can and cannot be stopped.
Requests are free. We aim to answer promptly and to say plainly if a request falls outside what we can do.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information you submit, including limiting access to the editorial team and using standard safeguards on the systems that store it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
Fewer than a handful of people can open the editorial inbox, and access is limited to those who answer reader mail.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices change or when the law requires it. The revised version will appear on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
This page reflects our current practices as of October 2026. When the wording changes, the new version replaces the old one here — we do not keep a stack of superseded drafts on the site.
Contact for privacy requests
Send privacy questions or requests through the contact page, or call +1-212-555-0198 during business hours Eastern Time. We aim to respond to privacy requests promptly and to explain any limits that apply.
