- Your name

- Your phone number
- Any notes you choose to add to your booking
- Details of the appointments you have booked with us
- Whether you have consented to receive marketing
Why we use it and our lawful basis
We use your name, email and phone number to manage your appointment and to contact you about it. Our lawful basis for this is performance of a contract — you cannot book an appointment without it.
We keep a record of your past appointments so we can provide a better service on your next visit. Our lawful basis for this is legitimate interests.
If you tick the marketing box, we may send occasional offers and news. Our lawful basis for this is consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.
Who we share it with
Your appointment details are added to our shop calendar, which is hosted by Google. Google acts as a data processor for us.
Confirmation emails are sent through our email provider.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone else except where we are legally required to.
How long we keep it
We keep booking records for up to three years after your last appointment so we have a service history and can deal with any queries or complaints.
Contact form messages are kept for up to twelve months.
If you withdraw marketing consent, we stop sending marketing immediately and record that you have opted out.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct anything that is inaccurate
- Ask us to delete your data, where we have no ongoing lawful reason to keep it
