What Personal Data I Collect

I only collect what's needed for safe, personalised service:

Standard data: Name, phone, email, address (for home visits and bookings).
Health/safety data: Allergies, medical conditions (e.g., blood thinners, skin issues like eczema), or pregnancy status (shared voluntarily for treatment safety—this is "special category data").
Payment data: Processed via Square/Stripe Square handles card details securely—I don't store them).
Marketing data: Email if you opt-in for offers.
Other: Photos of nails (with consent only) for portfolio/social media.

I collect this via Wix booking forms, emails, or messages.

How I Use Your Data (Lawful Basis)

I process data fairly and transparently:

To fulfill contracts (bookings/reminders): Name, phone, address (legal basis: Contract).
For safety: Health info to avoid risks (legal basis: Explicit Consent + Vital Interests).
Marketing: Offers/tips if opted-in (legal basis: Consent).
Admin: Invoicing, insurance claims (legal basis: Legitimate Interests).

No automated decisions/profiling—I review health info manually for suitability.

How I Share Your Data

Processors: Wix (site hosting, UK/EU servers), Square (payments—tokenized & PCI-compliant; DPA in place via their terms), and Stripe (alternative payments). All have GDPR agreements with me.
No third-party sales: Never shared with marketers/sellers. Only if legally required (e.g., court order).
International transfers: None—data stays in UK/EU (Square uses UK/EU servers for GB merchants).

Payment/transaction data: 6 years for tax compliance (UK requirement).
Marketing: Until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
