1) What this policy covers

This policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our Site, interact with our ads, or schedule an appointment through our third‑party scheduling provider (currently Calendly). We do not host user accounts directly on our Site.

2) Information we collect

We collect information in three ways:

a) Information you provide to us

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email address, phone number) when you contact us or book via our scheduling link.
  • Booking details (e.g., service selected, date/time, notes) that you enter through Calendly.
  • Communications you send us (e.g., email, text, social messages).

We may ask for optional consent to use a photo of your haircut in our portfolio. If you consent, we’ll only use it as agreed; you can withdraw consent at any time.

b) Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and referring URLs.
  • Cookies and similar technologies placed by us and our partners (see Section 4). These help us measure traffic and the effectiveness of our advertising.

c) Information from third parties

  • Scheduling provider (Calendly): When you book, Calendly shares the details needed to manage your appointment (see Section 3).
  • Advertising/analytics partners (Google & Meta): We use tags/pixels for measurement and to reach interested audiences (see Section 4).

3) Scheduling through Calendly

We use Calendly to manage appointments. When you click our “Book” or “Schedule” links, you are taken to Calendly’s website where your information is collected and processed under Calendly’s own privacy policy and terms. Calendly may collect your name, email, phone, time zone, and appointment details and may send confirmations or reminders. We receive the booking details necessary to provide your service. We do not control Calendly and are not responsible for its practices.

4) Cookies, analytics, and advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and advertising.

a) Google technologies

  • Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site.
  • Google Ads/Conversion Tags/Remarketing to measure advertising performance and show relevant ads.

You can learn more or opt out via:

b) Meta (Facebook/Instagram) technologies

  • Meta Pixel to measure ad effectiveness and build/serve audiences for our ads on Facebook and Instagram.

You can control ad preferences here:

c) Other choices for interest‑based ads

Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of certain data “sharing” for targeted advertising in applicable US states. See Section 7.

5) How we use information

  • Provide and improve the Site and our services.
  • Manage appointments and communicate about bookings, reminders, and updates.
  • Personalize and measure advertising and understand campaign performance.
  • Detect, prevent, and address security or technical issues.
  • Comply with law and enforce our terms.

6) How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share:

  • Service providers who help us run the Site, schedule appointments, send communications, analyze performance, or serve ads (e.g., Google, Meta, Calendly, hosting and security vendors).
  • Analytics/advertising partners (as described above) for measurement and interest‑based advertising. In some US states, this may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising.”
  • Legal and safety: if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or similar event.

7) US state privacy disclosures (including California)

Some states (e.g., CA/CO/CT/VA) give residents rights regarding personal information. Depending on your state, you may have the right to access, delete, correct, or opt out of certain processing such as sale/sharing/targeted advertising.

  • We do not sell personal information for money. We may share identifiers and internet/usage data with advertising partners for cross‑context behavioral advertising (as defined in some state laws).
  • Opt‑out of sharing/targeted advertising: Use the links in Section 4, enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser, or contact us (Section 12). If you contact us, we’ll set an opt‑out cookie in your browser for this Site.
  • Requests to access/delete/correct: Contact us (Section 12). We will verify your request and respond as required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent where permitted.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

8) Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Calendly and our ad/analytics partners may have their own retention periods—see their notices for details.

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10) Children’s privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

11) International visitors

Our Site is operated in the United States. If you access it from outside the US, your information may be processed in the US where laws may differ from those in your country.
