  • Unilever may only make use of our name in association with the data it may reference in its claim. Unilever may not state or imply that NielsenIQ is the source of the claim itself.
  • Any Unilever claim that relies on NielsenIQ results must not be presented in a misleading manner and must contain the following citation: “Unilever calculation based in part on information reported by NielsenIQ through its ScanTrack, MarketTrack and Retail Index Services for the Skin Cleansing Category (markets defined by Nielsen or Unilever) for the 52-week period ending: Ghana - Jun 2020; Egypt - Sep 2020; Denmark, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, UAE - Nov 2020; Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Russia, , South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan Thailand, Turkey, and Uruguay - Dec 2020; Vietnam, Kenya, Poland, Hong Kong - Jan 2021; Austria, Belgium, Chile, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea - Feb 2021; US - Mar 2021.

Details available on [insert the website]“.
• This letter is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance.
