5. Our Lawful Bases for Processing
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:
Contract: where processing is necessary to provide services you have requested or to take steps at your request before providing those services.
Legal obligation: where we need to process information to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.
Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Consent: where we ask for your consent to use your information for a particular purpose, such as certain marketing activities.
You can withdraw consent where we rely on consent as our lawful basis.
6. Health and Special-Category Information
Some of the information we collect during consultations and treatments may be health information and therefore special-category data.
We only collect and use this information where it is necessary and appropriate for purposes such as assessing suitability, providing treatments safely, maintaining treatment records and providing appropriate aftercare.
Special-category data requires both a lawful basis under Article 6 of the UK GDPR and an additional condition under Article 9. The appropriate condition will depend on the circumstances and the services being provided.
Where we rely on explicit consent for processing health information, that consent will be obtained in a clear and appropriate manner.
We take additional care with health information and limit access to those who need it for legitimate business or treatment-related purposes.
7. Treatment Photographs
Where photographs are taken as part of a consultation or treatment record, they may be stored securely as part of your client record.
We will not use identifiable treatment photographs for marketing, social media, advertising or promotional purposes without obtaining the appropriate permission from you.
Where you agree to the use of photographs for marketing purposes, you may withdraw that permission for future use at any time, subject to any legal or contractual limitations that may apply.
8. Marketing
We may occasionally contact you with information about our services, treatments, offers, events or other relevant updates.
Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before sending direct marketing communications.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by:
Following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication;
Contacting us directly; or
Using any marketing preference options we provide.
Please note that opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending essential service-related communications, such as appointment confirmations, changes or treatment-related information.
9. Who We Share Your Information With
We will only share your personal information where necessary, lawful and appropriate.
This may include sharing information with:
Our employees and practitioners where necessary to provide our services
Booking and appointment management providers
Payment providers
Website hosting and IT service providers
Email, SMS and communication providers
Professional advisers such as accountants, insurers or legal advisers
Regulators, authorities or law-enforcement bodies where legally required
Healthcare or other professionals where appropriate and where lawful
Where we use third-party service providers to process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate contractual and security measures are in place.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
10. International Transfers
Some of the technology and service providers we use may process personal information outside the UK.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that your information receives an appropriate level of protection in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
11. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against:
Unauthorised access
Accidental loss
Destruction
Misuse
Alteration
Unauthorised disclosure
Access to client and treatment information is restricted to individuals who have a legitimate reason to access it.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. How Long We Keep Your Information
We only keep personal information for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance and record-keeping requirements.
Different types of information may be retained for different periods.
Treatment and health-related records may need to be retained for an appropriate period following treatment. The precise retention period will depend on the nature of the treatment, applicable legal or regulatory requirements and our professional and insurance obligations.
When information is no longer required, we will securely delete or dispose of it.

Important
This is a website privacy-policy template, not formal legal advice. Before publishing it, you should replace all placeholders and make sure it accurately reflects the actual systems your salon uses—for example, your booking platform, payment provider, email/SMS provider, website analytics, Meta/Google tracking, CCTV and any practitioners or healthcare professionals involved.
This is particularly important for an aesthetics business because treatment records and medical information can constitute special-category health data. The ICO recommends that businesses clearly explain what information they collect, why they collect it, their lawful basis, who receives it and how long they keep it.
