How is personal information collected and used during the research and development process?

As part of our product development process, we invite panelists to participate in highly scientific studies at some of our R&D centers that help demonstrate the performance of our skin care, makeup, and hair care products to support our ads and claims. We collect personal information and use it to administer these studies and, among other things, communicate about current and future studies.
