We will not knowingly use an identifiable customer’s photograph for public promotional purposes without appropriate permission.

Withdrawal does not necessarily require us to remove materials that have already been printed, distributed, or otherwise used where removal is not reasonably practicable.
15Data Retention
We do not intend to retain personal information indefinitely.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, provide our services, maintain legitimate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, establish or defend legal claims, or otherwise as permitted or required by law.
Our general approach is:
- Appointment inquiries: retained only as long as reasonably necessary to process and resolve the inquiry.
- Appointment and service records: retained while reasonably necessary for salon operations, customer service, legitimate business purposes, or legal obligations.
- Health-related information: retained only while reasonably necessary for the specific service, safety, or other declared purpose for which it was provided.
- Marketing information: retained while necessary for marketing purposes or until you withdraw consent/opt out, subject to applicable legal requirements.
- Photographs: retained while the relevant permission and purpose remain applicable, subject to applicable rights and circumstances.
- Analytics information: retained according to the applicable analytics configuration and provider settings.
When information is no longer necessary, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it.
The Data Privacy Act and its implementing rules require personal information not to be retained longer than necessary for the declared purpose, legal claims, legitimate business purposes, or applicable legal requirements.
16Data Security
We take reasonable organizational, physical, and technical measures to protect personal information against:
- Unauthorized access;
- Unauthorized disclosure;
- Loss;
- Misuse;
- Alteration;
- Destruction; and
- Other unlawful processing.
Our n8n automation environment is hosted on our own server.
Access to systems containing customer information should be limited to authorized personnel and protected using appropriate authentication and security controls.
However, no electronic system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
18Withdrawal of Consent
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent, subject to applicable legal limitations.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
If you withdraw consent for certain information, this may affect our ability to provide particular services where the information is reasonably necessary for that service.
19Privacy Complaints
