MARKETING

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. To stop receiving any marketing communications from us, please follow the instructions in the ‘Opting out’ section below.

PROMOTIONAL OFFERS FROM US

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

THIRD-PARTY MARKETING

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third parties for marketing purposes.

Please note that you may still receive some marketing messages for a short period after you have updated your marketing preferences, while our systems are fully updated. After that, please note that you will still receive information and service updates.

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us using the details above.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law

5. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. Also, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

6. DATA RETENTION

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal data are as follows:

Your personal data will be held by each salon you have visited for as long as you remain an active client at that salon (we currently deem this to be two years from your last visit to the salon). After you cease to be an active client, we will still retain some of your details to ensure that we comply with our legal obligations and legitimate business interests.
If you have subscribed to our newsletter, your personal data will be held for as long as you remain a subscriber to the newsletter. If you choose to unsubscribe, then we will hold the record of your unsubscribe request to ensure that we comply with our legal obligations.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Your Legal Rights below for further information.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

7. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have the following rights under data protection laws about your personal data:

to request access to your personal data
to request correction of your personal data
to request the erasure of your personal data
to object to the processing of your personal data
to request the restriction of processing your personal data
to request the transfer of your personal data
to withdraw consent

You can check and update your personal data each time you visit your salon. Please be aware that each salon holds its own client data. This means that if you have visited more than one salon, and provided that you are still an active client of that salon, you will need to update your personal data at each salon.
If you wish to make a complaint or you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details above.

NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information about your request to speed up our response.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
