4. Squarespace Website, Contact Forms, and Newsletter
Our website is hosted by Squarespace. When you visit our website, submit a contact form, or subscribe to our newsletter, information you provide may be processed through Squarespace and the service providers used to operate our website and forms.
If you contact us through our website, we use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry and provide requested assistance.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send the communications described when you sign up. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us.
Submitting a contact form does not automatically subscribe you to promotional email or text marketing unless the signup process clearly states this and any required consent is obtained.
Squarespace may also use cookies and related technologies to provide website functionality, security, analytics, and other enabled features.
5. Boulevard Booking and Salon Management
We use Boulevard to support online appointment booking, client management, appointment notifications, service records, and other salon operations.
When you interact with our Boulevard booking system or client portal, information you provide may be processed by Boulevard and its relevant service providers. This may include contact information, appointment history, consultation responses, service preferences, membership information, and transaction-related records.
We use this information to manage appointments, provide services, communicate with clients, maintain appropriate business records, and administer applicable salon offerings.
Boulevard operates under its own terms and privacy practices. Your use of its booking or client portal features may also be subject to those terms and practices.
6. Google Analytics and Meta Tracking
We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at our website, and how website engagement changes over time.
We also use Meta tracking technologies, such as the Meta Pixel, to help measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram advertising and understand certain interactions with our website.
Depending on how these tools are configured, they may use cookies, pixels, identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about your browser, device, website activity, and interactions with advertising or website content. This information may be received by Google, Meta, or their relevant service providers.
These technologies may help us analyze website performance, measure advertising conversions, build advertising audiences, and show relevant advertisements on supported platforms.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics and advertising technologies will be used only after the required consent has been obtained. You can manage available cookie choices through our website's cookie settings.
Google and Meta may process information according to their own privacy policies and may use information as permitted under their respective terms and applicable law.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Essential functions: Supporting website security, navigation, and core features.
Analytics: Understanding website traffic and visitor interactions.
Advertising: Measuring marketing campaigns and supporting relevant advertising, where enabled.
Preferences: Remembering choices and settings where supported.
You can manage non-essential cookies using the cookie controls provided on our website, where available. You may also manage certain cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.
Where required by law, we will provide appropriate choices to accept or decline non-essential cookies and will configure tracking tools to respect applicable consent requirements.
8. Email and Text Message Marketing
Artisan Beauty Bar may send promotional emails and text messages about salon services, new offerings, events, memberships, special promotions, and other updates.
We use Squarespace newsletter signup tools and Boulevard's communication and marketing features, as applicable, to manage communications.
Email marketing: You may unsubscribe using the link included in promotional emails or contact us directly.
Text message marketing: You may opt out of promotional text messages by following the instructions in the message, such as replying STOP where supported. Other available opt-out instructions may also be provided.
We will obtain and maintain the consent required for promotional text messages and other marketing communications. Signing up for our newsletter does not, by itself, authorize promotional text messages.
Opting out of marketing does not necessarily stop essential service communications, such as appointment confirmations, booking changes, or transaction-related notices, where permitted by law.
Message and data rates may apply to text messages. Message frequency may vary.
We do not sell your contact information to unrelated third parties for their own direct marketing.
9. How We Share Information
We may share personal information as reasonably necessary in the following circumstances:
Service providers: With Squarespace, Boulevard, Google, Meta, payment processors, email and text messaging providers, website support providers, and other vendors that help operate our business.
Salon operations: With authorized salon personnel who need relevant information to manage appointments, provide services, or perform their job duties.
Legal obligations and protection: When necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our policies, protect our rights, or protect the safety and security of our clients, staff, or business.
Business transactions: In connection with a potential or completed sale, merger, restructuring, or transfer of our business, subject to applicable legal requirements.
We do not sell personal information for money. However, certain uses of advertising cookies or tracking technologies may be considered “sharing” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. Where applicable, we will provide the required disclosures and choices.
10. Payment Information
Payments for services, products, deposits, gift cards, and memberships may be processed through Boulevard or other payment providers, depending on the transaction.
We may receive transaction records, payment status, amounts, refund information, and limited payment method details. Full payment card information is generally handled by the applicable payment processor rather than stored directly by us.
Payment processing is subject to the relevant provider's terms and privacy practices.
11. Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, manage appointments and memberships, maintain business and financial records, honor communication preferences, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Retention periods depend on the type of information, its purpose, and applicable legal requirements.
12. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access to certain personal information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, obtain a copy of certain information, or opt out of certain forms of targeted advertising or data sharing.
You may also change your marketing preferences or unsubscribe from promotional communications.
To make a privacy request, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Some information may need to be retained to comply with legal requirements, complete transactions, maintain records, resolve disputes, or exercise legal rights.
13. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website and communications may link to third-party services, including Boulevard booking pages, social media platforms, and payment providers.
These services may collect information under their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party services and encourage you to review their policies before providing information.
14. Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental consent is required by law.
