  1. The setup of a user account on Stila requires mentioning one's real identity (first name and surname) and a valid email address which thus will be known to the Stila operators. Login with social logins allows Stila to retrieve one's real identity (first name and surname) and the email address associated with the given social login directly from the providers of the social logins.
