Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing Your Personal Data
 

We take your privacy seriously and will never sell or rent your personal data to any third party.

We need to obtain and process your personal data to provide you with our products, services, and treatments, to process payments if you purchase a service or product from us, and to fulfil our business and legal obligations. We will never collect any personal information that we do not need or retain any data that is no longer necessary for the purposes specified in this notice. Your information may also be processed where required by law or to respond to legal processes.

Your personal data is collected and processed for the following purposes:

• To fulfil legal obligations relating to business, accounting, tax, and insurance purposes.

• To contact you with special offers, promotions, and news from our salon.
   

We will ask for your permission before contacting you with marketing communications. Where you have given consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
 

Special Categories of Personal Data Collected
 

Health-related questions may be included in consultation forms to ensure treatments and products are suitable for you and to identify any potential risks linked to medications, allergies, or medical conditions. Your privacy is very important to us, and this information is only used to determine your suitability for treatments and to provide a safe service.

We apply additional safeguards to protect special category data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. We only collect this information with your explicit consent.
 

Children’s Personal Data
 

We take children’s personal data very seriously and do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16 without consent from a parent or guardian.

If we discover that personal data has been collected from a child without the appropriate consent, we will delete that information as soon as reasonably possible.

If you request to exercise any of the above rights, we may ask you to verify your identity before proceeding. This is to ensure your data remains secure.
 

Data Sharing, Third Parties and Data Processors
 

We may disclose your personal data to third parties for the purpose of providing services to you, operating our business, complying with legal obligations, or enforcing our legal rights.

Where we use third-party providers, strict agreements are in place governing how your personal data is processed, and no action may be taken without our instruction.

The third parties we work with will never sell or improperly disclose your personal information and are required to process it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

We may share your personal data with the following categories of companies:

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfil our legal obligations.

We may continue processing your personal information where:
 

• There is a legal basis, obligation, or legitimate interest to do so.

• Processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
