03RETENTION PERIOD OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Your Personal Data is retained for a period that does not exceed the time necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
General case
Generally speaking, when you create a customer account online, your Personal Data is kept for as long as you use or order products or services that we offer via your customer account, plus the statutory limitation periods, which are generally 5 years.
However, this Personal Data and your customer account will be deleted (i) if you decide to delete it by sending us a request by e-mail to contact@yumay-beauty.com, or (ii) if you no longer use your online account (you have not made any purchase on the Site for 5 consecutive years, or have ceased to interact with us during that fifth year, in particular by not logging into your online customer account on the Site).
In certain cases, we may keep certain Personal Data concerning you for a longer period than indicated above, including after the closure of your customer account, by legal obligation, or if there is an outstanding issue concerning that customer account (such as a debit balance, or the existence of an unresolved claim or dispute). In such a case, the Personal Data necessary to resolve the issue or dispute will be kept for as long as the dispute lasts, within the limits of applicable rules on limitation periods.

Your purchase invoices are retained for 10 years, even if you are no longer a customer.
- Connection data: this Personal Data relating to your identification and connection data, including your IP address, is retained for a period of one (1) year.
Upon expiry of the retention periods described above, the deletion of your Personal Data is irreversible and after this period we will no longer be able to communicate it to you.
Please also note that in the event of a dispute, we are required to retain all the Personal Data concerning you throughout the processing of the file, even after the expiry of the retention periods described above.
