This privacy policy explains how Ambience Laser, Hair & Beauty Salon protects the personal information you provide us with or that we obtain by having you as client and the choices you make when you agree to us sending you marketing communications. This explains how we do this and informs you of your privacy rights and the protection provided by law. 

 

What information we collect about you: 

We collect information about you when you book an appointment for a service or a treatment, visit the salon, buy a product or apply for a job regardless of whether or not the contact is online, on paper, by email, over the phone or in person. This information may include your name, address, email address, phone number, relevant history which may be because a treatment or service should not take place or certain products should not be used (e.g. allergies, pregnancy, skin conditions,) payment and transaction information IP address and CVs. 

 

We operate CCTV across the premises for the safety and security of our clients and staff as well as a deterrent for the purpose of criminal activity. 

 

For clients under the age of 16 we will only keep and use their personal information with the consent of a parent, carer or guardian. 

 

How information about you will be used: 

The law allows us to use personal information, including sharing it outside the salon, only if we have a proper reason to do so, for example: 

 

* To fulfil a contract with you i.e. to provide a service or treatment you have requested and to communicate with you about your appointments 

 

* When it is in our legitimate interest i.e. there is a business or commercial reason to do so, unless this is outweighed by your rights or interest 

 

* When you consent to it, we will always ask for your consent to hold and use health and medical information. 

 

 

We will therefore share your information with: 

* Providers of our salon IT system (Treatwell) 

* Suppliers of our web site

receptions facilities are shared, our self-employed colleagues will have access to your information. We will not share your information with any other third party without your consent except to help prevent fraud, or if legally required to do so. 

 

Marketing 

We will ask for your consent to receive marketing information as we would like to send you information about products and services which may be of interest to you. 

If you have consented to receiving marketing information, you may opt out at a later date. You have the right at any time to stop us from contact you for marketing purposes or giving your information to a third party suppliers or products or services. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes please contact us. 

 

Retention of your information 

Unless you request otherwise we will keep your information to contact you no more than 5 times per year for a maximum of 1 year from your last visit to the salon. 

After a year will will archive all your personal information, except for your name, relevant client history, (e.g. allergy test records which we keep for 4 years) and financial transactions which we are obliged to keep for 6 years. 

 

CCTV images are automatically deleted after 30 days. 

 

Where the information is held 

Your information is stored within the European Economic area on secure servers. Any payment transactions are encrypted.

You have the right to object to our use of your personal information, or to ask us to delete, remove or stop using your personal information if there is no need for us to retain it.
