4. Our Lawful Bases for Using Your Information

UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following lawful bases:

Contract

We may use your information where it is necessary to arrange or provide a treatment or service you have requested.

Legitimate interests

We may use information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights.

This may include managing appointments, operating our business, improving our services, protecting our systems and communicating with existing clients where permitted by law.

Legal obligation

We may process information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement.

Consent

Where consent is required, we will ask you for it before processing your information for that purpose.

You can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

Health information

Where we process health or other special category information, we will ensure that an appropriate condition under applicable data protection law applies in addition to our general lawful basis.

Where appropriate, this may include obtaining your explicit consent to the use of information necessary to assess and provide your treatment.

5. Booking Appointments

Zerenity uses Fresha to manage online appointments and bookings.

When you make a booking through Fresha, your personal information is processed through Fresha's systems and is subject to Fresha's own privacy policy and terms.

Information processed through the booking system may include your name, contact details, appointment information and information required to manage your booking.

You should review Fresha's privacy information for further details about how Fresha processes your personal information.

6. Payments

Payments for bookings made through Fresha are handled by Fresha and its payment services, rather than being directly processed or controlled by Zerenity.

Zerenity does not control the payment processing system operated by Fresha.

Payment information is handled in accordance with Fresha's applicable privacy policy, terms and security procedures.

Zerenity does not intentionally collect or store your full payment card details.

7. Website Hosting

Our website is developed and maintained by Ryan Avery and is hosted by Hostinger.

These services may involve the processing of technical information required to host, maintain and secure the website.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party providers handling information on our behalf provide appropriate security and data protection arrangements.

8. Advertising and Social Media

Zerenity uses Facebook and Instagram, operated by Meta, to advertise and promote our services.

Advertising platforms may use cookies, pixels or similar technologies to measure advertising performance and, depending on the services enabled, show relevant advertisements.

The information collected by Meta through its platforms and advertising technologies is subject to Meta's own privacy policies and terms.

Zerenity does not control all information collected or processed directly by Meta.

Where applicable, we will provide appropriate cookie or privacy choices before using non-essential tracking technologies on our website.

9. Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files that may be placed on your device when you visit a website. They can be used to make a website function properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website and support advertising or analytics.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate. Other cookies may require your consent under applicable law.

We are working to ensure that the website provides appropriate information and choices regarding non-essential cookies.

You can also control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

10. Who We Share Your Information With

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information where necessary with trusted organisations that help us operate Zerenity and provide our services.

These may include:

  • Fresha, for appointment and booking management;
  • payment providers used by Fresha;
  • Hostinger, for website hosting;
  • our website developer/technical support provider where necessary to maintain the website;
  • Meta, where information is processed through Facebook and Instagram advertising technologies;
  • our accountant;
  • our insurance provider;
  • professional advisers where necessary;
  • regulators or government authorities where we are legally required to provide information; and
  • other organisations where necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

Where appropriate, we take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties processing personal information on our behalf handle it securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

11. International Transfers

Some of the organisations we use may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

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 under applicable data protection law.

Third-party organisations such as Fresha, Hostinger and Meta may have their own arrangements for international data transfers. Their respective privacy policies provide further information about how they handle personal information.

12. How Long We Keep Your Information

We do not keep personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary.

Client and treatment records

We currently retain client and treatment records for one year.

After this period, records will be securely destroyed or deleted unless there is a legitimate reason or legal requirement to retain them for longer.

Other information

Other information may be retained for different periods depending on why it was collected.

For example, financial and accounting information may need to be retained for longer periods to meet legal and tax requirements.

Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or destroyed where reasonably possible.

13. Keeping Your Information Secure

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

Paper client records are kept securely and are only accessible to authorised persons.

However, no method of storing or transmitting information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If we become aware of a personal data breach, we will take appropriate action in accordance with applicable data protection law.

14. Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under UK data protection law including:

  • The right to be informed about how your personal information is used;
  • The right of access to the personal information we hold about you;
  • The right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • The right to erasure of your personal information in certain circumstances;
  • The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances;
  • The right to object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
  • The right to data portability in certain circumstances; and
  • The right to withdraw consent where we rely on consent.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal conditions and exemptions.

You can object to direct marketing at any time.

17. Children's Privacy

Zerenity may provide treatments to clients under the age of 18.
