Privacy & GDPR Policy
This policy explains why I collect your data and what I do with it after it collected.
​
I need to collect some personal information about you and your health in order to make sure there are no contraindications to your treatment, and legal requirements. You can, of course, refuse to provide the information, however unfortunately I would have to refuse your treatment as adherence to this policy is a legal requirement for our insurance.
​
I have a legal obligation to retain your records for seven years after your most recent appointment. After this time your records will be destroyed in a method compliant with GDPR. Records retained on paper, which are locked in a cabinet within the salon, are only accessible by staff of The Beauty Suite, Southwold. Records recorded on the salon's software, which is password protected, are only accessible by staff at The Beauty Suite, Southwold.
​
Your phone number and email may be used electronically, with your permission. This is for appointment reminders or to inform you of occasional offers.
​
If you wish to contact us via social media, you may wish to think about what you send to us.
​
We will never share your data with anyone who does not need access without your consent. Only the manager of The Beauty Suite, Southwold will have access to your data.
​
You have the right to ask to see what personal data of yours we hold and you can also ask the Owner of The Beauty Suite, Southwold to correct or update any factual errors, provided the legal minimum period has elapsed.
