Privacy Policy
At mysite-name, we are committed to protecting your personal information while you use our wedding hair and makeup services across England. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data in compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to provide our bridal beauty services, including your name, contact details, wedding date and venue, skin type and tone preferences, allergy information, and before/after photographs for portfolio purposes with your consent.
We collect technical data through our website analytics to improve user experience. This information is anonymised where possible and not linked to your personal identity without explicit consent.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data enables us to deliver quality wedding beauty services and includes:
- Processing wedding bookings and managing trial appointments
- Maintaining style preferences and product compatibility records
- Communicating appointment details and wedding day timelines
- Managing billing and payment processing
- Creating look books and style references for your wedding
- Coordinating with other wedding vendors when requested
We handle your information responsibly, using it solely for your wedding beauty requirements and business administration.
3. Skin Sensitivity and Allergy Information
Any information about skin sensitivities, allergies, or reactions you share is treated with strict confidentiality and used solely to ensure your safety and comfort during beauty services. This helps us select appropriate products and avoid potential reactions.
Sensitivity information is accessed only by our beauty artists and is stored separately from general client records with enhanced security measures.
4. Wedding Photography and Portfolio
We may request permission to take before/after photographs for your personal reference and, with separate explicit consent, for our professional portfolio. Portfolio images will never be used without your written consent, and you may withdraw consent at any time.
Photographs used in our portfolio typically have identifying features obscured unless additional specific consent is provided.
5. Data Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security protocols to protect your personal and wedding information. All client data is stored on encrypted systems with access limited to authorised beauty artists. Physical documents containing wedding details are securely stored and shredded when no longer needed.
Our beauty artists follow strict confidentiality agreements regarding client information and wedding details.
6. Product Testing and Compatibility
During trials, we may document product compatibility and colour selections to ensure consistency for your wedding day. This information helps us recreate your chosen look accurately and manage product inventory for your specific needs.
Product testing records are maintained to support quality service delivery and are accessed only by artists involved in your wedding preparation.
7. Legal Basis for Processing
By using our wedding beauty services, you consent to us processing your information as outlined in this policy. This includes processing necessary for trial appointments, wedding day preparation, and service coordination.
8. Third-Party Data Sharing
We may share your information with trusted third parties only when necessary to deliver our services, such as payment processors for transaction handling, wedding planners for day coordination (with your permission), and product suppliers for specific requirements.
All third-party providers are bound by strict data protection agreements compliant with UK GDPR requirements. We never sell your personal information to other companies.
9. Your Data Protection Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Object to processing of your personal data
- Request transfer of your data to another provider
To exercise these rights, contact us at: [email protected]. We respond to all valid requests within 30 days.
10. Data Retention Period
We retain your personal and wedding data for as long as necessary to fulfil our services and legal obligations. Wedding client records are typically maintained for 3 years after your wedding date to allow for anniversary services or referrals, unless you request earlier deletion.
After the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise your personal information, though we may retain minimal data for legal compliance purposes.
11. Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. The current version will always be available on our website, and we will notify you of significant changes that affect how we process your data.
