privacy
policy
At Salon Services we respect
your right to privacy. Our relationship with you is valuable and we
understand the importance you place on the privacy and security of
information that personally identifies you. In that respect, and whether
you are a first time visitor to our web site or a regular user, we
take your privacy seriously. Please read the following in order to
learn more about our privacy policy and our information gathering
and dissemination practices.
1. The information we collect
and what we use it for
Salon Services collects personally
identifiable information when you register with us and when you use
our services. We may also receive information about you from our business
partners or marketing firms. We ask you for personal data only when
it is needed to provide goods or services you have enquired about
or asked us to provide or to respond to your requests for information.
Our registration process involves providing us with your name, your
company name, your type of business, your address, telephone and e-mail
address. We also receive and record information by tracking user traffic
patterns throughout our pages to maintain a record of the movements
of visitors to our web site such as the page visited and the product
requested. Salon Services uses this information in order to customise
the advertising and content you see on our web pages, to fulfil your
request for certain products and information, to communicate with
you generally and to contact you about special offers, promotions
or new products.
2. What information do we share?
There are times when we require
to share the information we learn from you with other parties. However,
the information we hold on our customers is an important part of our
business and it is not our business to sell or rent this information
to others. We will send personally identifiable information about
our customers to other companies or people, however, in the following
situations:- Agents: we employ other companies and individuals to
perform functions in certain situations on our behalf. Examples of
these functions include delivering packages, sending postal mail and
e-mail, providing marketing assistance and data analysis, handling
credit card transactions, fulfilling orders and providing customer
service. These agents have access to the personal information required
in order to perform their functions but may not use it for any other
purpose. Strategic Partners: we share customer information with our
affiliated businesses but we only share customer information relating
to a transaction with that business. Promotional Offers: other companies
sometimes ask us to market their products on our web site and we sometimes
send these offers to our customers on behalf of these other businesses.
When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address.
If you do not want to receive such offers, please let us know by e-mailing
us at [insert address]. Business Transfers: we are continually trying
to expand and improve our business and we may sell or buy businesses
or assets in these transactions. Customer information is generally
one of the transferred business assets in these situations and in
the event that Salon Services or substantially all of its assets are
acquired, customer information may be one of the transferred assets.
Compliance with Law: we will release personal information on our customers
where we are required to by law. We may also exchange other information
with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit
risk reduction. Customer Consent: other than in the above situations
you will receive notice from us when your personal information might
go to third parties and you will have the opportunity to decide not
to share that information.
3. Security
All information is received
by us and retrieved using secure technology. In order to provide a
safe and secure environment for your personal information we try to
use up- to-date technology with a view to protecting that information
against loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration. The effectiveness
of our safety measures can be enhanced by you creating passwords that
cannot be easily accessed, guessed or reproduced by unauthorised persons.
