  • Messages and enquiries sent to us

  • Information provided through a health questionnaire or consent form

  • Cookie and analytics information, where applicable

Health information is treated as special category data and receives additional protection under UK data protection law. ico.org.uk

 

3. How we use your information

​

We may use your information to:

  • Respond to enquiries

  • Meet legal, accounting and insurance requirements

  • Protect the safety and security of our clients, staff and premises

​

We will only use your information where we have a lawful basis to do so, such as fulfilling a booking, complying with a legal obligation, pursuing legitimate business interests or obtaining your consent.

​

4. Health and consent information

​

Before your first session, we may ask you to complete a health questionnaire or consent form.

This information is used only where necessary to help us assess whether a session is appropriate and to provide the service safely. We will not use your health information for marketing.

Where required, we will ask for your explicit consent to collect and use health information. You may withdraw that consent, although this may mean that we are unable to provide certain services safely.

The ICO confirms that health information requires both a lawful basis under Article 6 of the UK GDPR and an additional condition under Article 9. ico.org.uk

​

5. How we share your information

​

We may share limited personal information with:

  • Website hosting and website management providers, including Wix

  • Payment providers and banks where necessary to process payments

  • Professional advisers, insurers or accountants where reasonably required

  • Service providers who help us operate the business

  • Government bodies, regulators, law enforcement or courts where we are legally required to do so

  • The salon or premises provider where this is necessary for the safe operation of the service

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

Any third party that processes personal information on our behalf should only use it for the agreed purpose and must protect it appropriately.

 

6. Website, cookies and analytics

​

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Make the website function properly

  • Remember preferences

  • Understand how visitors use the website

  • Improve website performance and content

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used on the website. Where required, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the website works.

A privacy notice should explain why data is collected, how long it is kept and who it is shared with. ico.org.uk

​

7. How long we keep your information

​

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected.

As a general guide:

  • Booking and contact information: for as long as necessary to manage the booking and maintain reasonable business records

  • Health questionnaires and consent forms: for as long as reasonably necessary for safety, insurance and legal purposes

  • Payment and accounting records: for the period required by tax and accounting obligations

  • Marketing consent records: until you withdraw consent or the information is no longer needed

  • Website enquiry records: for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the enquiry and maintain business records

When information is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymise it.

​

8. Keeping your information secure

​

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of sending or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

9. Your data protection rights

​

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you

​

10. International transfers

​

Some of the providers we use may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where this happens, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual protections.

​

11. Children’s information

​

Our services and website are not intended for children under the age of 18 unless a parent or legal guardian has made the booking and provided any required consent.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate permission.
