How to buy
Let's talk about privacy
At UNI Cosmetics, we believe in making things easy for our customers. We know there’s nothing more off-putting than the sight of a lot of boring small print, so we’ve written our Privacy Policy to make it clear, simple and easy to read.
The policy explains how UNI Cosmetics uses your personal data, when you register and buy in our webpage at: uni-cosmetics.com.
What's changed?
European Data Protection law changed on 25 May 2018. In addition, the Law on Protection to Personal Data of the Republic of Kosovo, which contains all the provision that the aforementioned European law, is the basic legislation from which this Privacy Policy is grounded. Like all organizations that use your personal information, Boots have to provide more information about the purposes for which we use your personal data, the rights you have over it and what that means in practice. So we’ve taken this opportunity to update our Privacy Policy. Don’t worry - the way we use your data hasn’t changed, and we still give it the same level of care and protection. We hope we’ve explained it clearly and simply, but it you want to find out in more detail about the new data protection regulation, please check the Republic of Kosovo legislation:Law on Protection to Personal Data and that of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation).
