How I use the information
I use your personal information on the basis of legitimate interest to contact you in relation to the hair and/or makeup services you have requested or have expressed an interest in. Relevant information you provide me with will also be used for booking confirmation, internal record keeping and billing and payment purposes. The photographs you send will assist me in recommending hairstyles and colours for your skin type/tone.
Photographs
I may take photographs for reference or continuity purposes whilst working with you. I may also use photographs of you on my websites and social media platforms. Consent for this will be gained through the ‘booking form’, which is signed to secure my services for your date.
There may be times, on my websites and social media platforms, where I am obliged to credit photographers and other suppliers. I do not accept any responsibility for, or liability in respect to the content of those sites; the owners of which do not have any connection either commercially or otherwise with my business.

Sharing and disclosure
I may use services from third parties such as freelance hair and makeup artists to provide your service. The freelance hair and makeup artists I use are hand picked and provide the same standard and level of service as myself. Any data passed to them will be relevant to your service and will be kept safe and secure.
I also use the services of trusted companies, professional advisers and government bodies to run my business and process your data. These services include website hosting, accountancy, administration services, banking, insurance and legal help and advice.
