The Body Shop has fallen

Just seen this on Twitter.

For those who like their Ginger Shampoo, can I suggest MooGoo.

Also, Aveeno is a good replacement for their Shea butter.

Other thoughts welcome. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

Iirc AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken Change.org have taken down GC petitions before because according to them women's rights is transphobic. Tldr: they're woke as fuck.

It may be the default was that Body Shop is already aimed at women and 'for men' was the divergence from the norm. Maybe. I choose to think not...

Yep that was me!! Wow, I wonder if they've had a panic backstage and re categorised everything? It was for women - zero. For men - 60+.

There are 492 products that come up now when you type in ‘women’. Didn’t someone say the other day that was 0?

Thank you!

The when they say ‘we have sent this to the relevant department’ say ‘are you refusing to give me your complaints procedure?’ But only if fly have a few hours spare - I went round and round in circles for over 2 hours with Audible on that one.

I also asked what data was held and where, who had access to it, what it was used for, how long would it be held, etc.

I worked with compliance and legal departments in the city for years. It was a bit of fun.

@SerenityNowwwww

I’d ask for their complaints procedure too - they don’t actually seem to have one to supply when asked.
Thank you! I’ll ask for that when I follow up and they undoubtedly fob me off

So I’ve spoken to The Body Shop again via live chat. They apologised and said they’d rectify my request and do an internal investigation. I asked I was going to find out the outcome and I was given a reference number and told to contact next week and request an update.
I stated I was concerned because I had been asked for
My name
My date of birth
My address
My email
And that after sharing all this info, my request wasn’t fulfilled.

Hehhehheh.

They joyous part is that they wrote to confirm that your details had been deleted. It’s just too too delicious!

Hi,
I requested that body shop remove any trace of me from their data base. They said they had. I received an email this morning asking me to review my latest purchase (I used spend between £20-£50 there a month).
What words do I need to specifically use to have my data wiped?
Thank you 😊

acatcalledjohn · 20/06/2020 11:06

I have signed that petition. Sadly I'm not ready to be publicly GC yet so have done it anonymously.

SerenityNowwwww · 20/06/2020 09:55

Maybe it’s change now since there is a petition section now - this was when a case was going through court and there was a fundraiser. I’ve already been on the naughty step so a bit cautious!

finnmcool · 20/06/2020 09:54

SerenityNowwwww I'll report my post, have sent PM to Kingfisher.

SerenityNowwwww · 20/06/2020 08:03

(Sorry I thought we couldn’t post petition links - I got deleted for doing that a while back)

Really? That’s news - thank you!

justasking111 · 19/06/2020 17:17

The thread about superdrug was interesting a mum clocking the wording on pads being for persons who menstruate. super drug is owned by the same parent company as body shop and avon.
