Our policy explains how Antony & Patricia uses and manages the personal information you give us or that we learn by having you as a client and the choices you make about marketing communications you agree we may send you. It also informs you about your privacy rights and how the law protects your data.

Our registered address is 82 Bank Street, Rawtenstall, Rossendale, Lancashire, BB4 8EG.
What data we collect
We collect information about you when you:
- Book an appointment for a service,
- Visit the salon or barbershop for a service
- Buy a product or gift card.
The information you give us may include your name, address, email address, phone number, relevant history which may suggest that a service or treatment should not go ahead or certain products should not be used (e.g. allergies, pregnancy, skin conditions), payment and transaction information and your IP address.

Our salon operates a CCTV system that may record your image during your salon visit in order to ensure the security of our customers, employees and business.
How we use your data
In law, we are allowed to use personal information, including sharing it outside the salon / barbershop, only if we have a proper reason to do so, for example:
- To fulfil a contract with you i.e. to provide the service or treatment you have requested and to communicate with you about this service i.e. your appointment
- When it is in our legitimate interest i.e. there is a business or commercial reason to do so unless this is outweighed by your rights or interests
- When you consent to it, e.g. agree to receive marketing from us
The lawful basis we rely on to process your personal data is as follows:
- Legitimate interest; for free of charge services i.e. consultations, for paid services for children under the age of 16
- Contractual; where we provide paid for services to you
- Legitimate Interest + Legal Claims and Judicial Acts; where we process medical information e.g. for Allergy Alert Tests and health information provided during a consultation
- Consent; for marketing to you or when using images in our marketing
We share your information with the providers of our salon software system, our email marketing provider, and merchant services provider for electronic payments. We have rigorous data protection and security policies in place with all our suppliers.
Marketing
We would like to send you information about products and services which may be of interest to you and will always ask for your consent to receive marketing.
