Privacy policy

What we collect

Your name, your mobile number, and the details of your appointments with us. If you use the booking form, the shop or the comment form on this website: what you type into it — such as your email address if you give one, and any notes — and, in the shop, what you reserve. To stop misuse of the forms we also keep a scrambled code made from your network address; it cannot be turned back into the address.

If you create an account on this website, we also keep: the email address you sign in with; the name you type when you create it; if you sign in with Google, the name on your Google account (Google also sends a link to your profile picture, which this website does not use); if you sign in with Apple, the name Apple shares the first time, and the email Apple gives us, which may be an Apple “Hide My Email” address; and the name and mobile number you save on your account. We do not get your Google or Apple password, and we do not see your contacts or anything else in your Google or Apple account. Your mobile number is not verified by a code; it only fills in your booking and order forms.

If you set a password, our sign-in provider stores it only in scrambled form (a hash). Nobody at the salon ever sees it.

When you are signed in, this browser keeps your sign-in so you stay signed in. Sign out removes it from the browser. When this website counts visits and button taps, it records only the page and the button: no cookie, no network address and nothing else that identifies you.

Why we have it

To book you in, to reach you if something about your appointment or order changes, and to send you appointment and order texts if you have agreed to receive them. If you have an account, it also fills in your details for you and shows you your appointment requests, past visits and product orders when you sign in.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information to anybody, for any reason. No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. The only companies that touch your information are the ones that make the salon work — the messaging provider that delivers our texts, the booking system that stores your appointments, and the services that run this website, keep your account signed in, and alert our staff when you send a request. They act on our instructions, they may not use your information for their own purposes, and they may not sell it either. If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, that company tells us who you are; we tell it nothing about your appointments.

The one exception is the ordinary one: if the law requires us to hand something over, we have to comply.

How long we keep it

As long as you are a client, plus whatever period our tax and business record obligations require. Ask us to delete your details and we will, except for anything we are legally required to retain.

You can delete your account yourself at any time on the Your account page. That removes your sign-in and the name and mobile number saved on it straight away. Requests and orders you already sent stay with the salon, the same as if you had booked without an account, because we need them to serve you.

Text messages

Texts have their own pages: our text message privacy policy and text message terms.
