This page explains what we do with your personal information, in plain English. If anything here isn't clear, just ask us.
Who we are
K.BeautyStudio Aberdeen is a beauty studio in Aberdeen offering nail, lash and brow treatments.
We are the "data controller" for the information described on this page. That means we decide what we collect about you and what happens to it.
Email: info@kbeautystudioaberdeen.co.uk
Phone: (+44) 07522056780
Address: Unit 15, Dyce Shopping Centre, Riverview Dr, Dyce, Aberdeen AB21 7LW
Booking and payment
We use Fresha to take bookings and payments. When you book, Fresha collects and stores your details on our behalf. We decide what gets collected and why — Fresha handles it for us.
Fresha is run by Fresha.com SV Ltd, 71–75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ. You can read their privacy policy at terms.fresha.com/privacy-policy.
Their policy covers what Fresha does. This page covers what we do. Both apply.
What we collect
Booking details
Your name, phone number, email address, the treatments you book, and your appointment history.
Health information
Before some treatments we ask about allergies, skin conditions, medication and pregnancy. We record patch test results for lash tinting. We only ask for what we need to treat you safely.
Payment details
Payments go through Fresha and their payment providers. We never see or store your full card details.
Messages
If you email, call or message us, we keep your message and contact details so we can reply.
Marketing
If you sign up for offers and updates, we keep your email address or phone number until you unsubscribe.
Photos
We sometimes photograph finished treatments. We only take a photo if you say yes, and we only post it publicly if you have agreed to that separately. You can change your mind at any time.
Website visits
Our website collects limited technical information through cookies. Our Cookie Policy explains exactly what and for how long.
Why we use it
What for → Our Legal Basis
Managing your appointments and taking payment → To carry out our contract with you.
Sending booking confirmations and reminders → To carry out our contract with you.
Keeping you safe during treatment → Your explicit consent.
Keeping records for insurance and safety → Our legitimate interests.
Sending marketing messages → Your consent.
Using photos of your treatment publicly → Your consent.
Running and improving our website → Your consent, or our legitimate interests.
Keeping financial and tax records → Legal obligation.
Health information - the detail
Information about your health counts as "special category" data under UK law, which means it gets extra protection. We hold it for one reason: to treat you safely.
We ask for your explicit consent before recording it. We do not share it with anyone else unless you ask us to, or unless we have to in an emergency — for example, if you needed medical help during an appointment.
You can ask to see or correct it at any time. If you ask us to delete it, we may not be able to carry out some treatments, because we would have no record of your patch tests or allergies.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information to anyone. We share it with:
Fresha → bookings, reminders and payments.
Squarespace → hosts our website. Their privacy policy is at squarespace.com/privacy.
Our accountant → for financial records.
Anyone we're legally required to tell, such as HMRC.
Where your information is held
Most of your information stays in the UK or Europe. Some of our providers, including Fresha, may move information to other countries. Where that happens they have to put legal safeguards in place to keep it protected.
How long we keep it
Treatment and health records: 7years after your last appointment. For clients under 18, until they turn 25.
Financial records: 6 years, as the law requires.
Marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe.
Enquiries: 2 years.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
Give you a copy of what we hold about you
Correct anything that's wrong
Delete your information
Stop or limit how we use it
Send your information to another provider
You can also withdraw your consent at any time. That won't affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
Email info@kbeautystudioaberdeen.co.uk and we'll respond within one month. There's no charge.
Complaints
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and change the date at the top.
