Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Senior Stylist collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our consultation platform and mobile applications.
1. Who We Are
Senior Stylist is a digital consultation platform that connects users with verified, senior-level hair stylists for one-on-one guidance. We operate as a technology platform and do not directly provide hair services; instead, we facilitate communication between you and independent Senior Stylists.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information to deliver and improve our services:
2.1 Account & Profile Information
When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, password, country/region, and any profile details you choose to share in the app.
2.2 Subscription & Billing Information
Payments and subscriptions are handled securely by the App Store or Google Play. We may receive limited billing-related information (such as subscription status and plan type) so we can manage your access to consultations, but we do not store your full payment card details on our own servers.
2.3 Consultation Content
During consultations, you may share messages, photos, and other information about your hair, routines, and goals. This content is used solely to enable your Senior Stylist to provide tailored advice.
2.4 Technical & Usage Data
We may collect technical information such as device type, operating system, app version, and basic usage analytics (for example, which features are used most often) to keep the service secure, stable, and easy to use.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide access to the Senior Stylist platform and manage your account.
- Enable real-time chat and consultations between you and Senior Stylists.
- Administer subscriptions, including plan upgrades, downgrades, and renewals.
- Improve and optimise our app experience and support services.
- Communicate with you about important changes, updates, or support matters.
4. Photos, Media & Consultation Data
You retain ownership of the photos and media you upload. By sharing them in the app, you grant us a limited licence to store and display this content to your chosen Senior Stylist solely for the purposes of providing the consultation. We do not sell your photos or personal consultation details to third parties.
5. Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with:
- Verified Senior Stylists, to enable them to carry out your consultation.
- Service providers who support our platform (such as hosting, analytics, or customer support), under strict contractual obligations.
- App Store and Google Play, in connection with billing and subscriptions.
- Authorities or regulators, where required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, and enforce our agreements. You can request account deletion via the app; please note that deleting your account does not automatically cancel your subscription through the App Store or Google Play.
7. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access, update, or correct your account information.
- Request deletion of your account and associated personal data (subject to legal retention requirements).
- Limit certain types of processing, such as marketing communications.
To exercise these rights, you can contact us at info@senior-stylist.com.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. However, no online system can be completely secure, and you are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and using a strong, unique password.
9. Children
Senior Stylist is intended for adults and is not directed at children. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “last updated” date and may notify you through the app or by email.
11. Contact Us
