At Hensmans, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy explains how, when and why we collect personal information and how we use it and keep it secure.

What information is being collected, and when?

• When clients come for an appointment, we collect their name, postal address, contact phone numbers, email addresses, and date of birth. We also make a record of any allergies and skin tests for clients having a colour service.
• When a client registers for our online booking system, we collect their name, email address and phone number, which is added onto our client database.
• When we hold external events, we collect email addresses from attendees so we can send out new client vouchers and offers, however people are asked if they wish to receive these and we only send to those that opt in to receiving email communications from us.
• Our salons are monitored by CCTV.

Why is the data being collected?
We collect your data for a few reasons:

• Occasionally we may need to contact you about an upcoming appointment. For example, to make you aware of your stylist being unwell or an issue beyond our control that requires the appointment to be rescheduled. We will always ask for your preferred mode of contact for these occasions, and you are free to change this at any time.
• We ask to collect your mobile number so that we can send you appointment reminders via text message; we always ask if you would like these reminders and do not send them unless you consent to them, and you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.
• We make a record of any allergies and skin test results as we are legally required to by both our professional federation and our contractual agreements with our product manufactures, so this is carried out on the lawful basis of our contractual obligations. We also ask for your explicit consent to store this information for one year.
• We ask for your date of birth as there are some services we can’t offer to under 16’s, in line with our professional code of conduct. We also require confirmation of the age of young people, as children under 12 are required to be supervised in the salon by a parent, so processing this information is on the lawful basis of our legitimate interests as a business.
• We also ask for you date of birth as we like to be able to email you a birthday voucher; we will always ask if you consent for us to do this and you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.
• We like to keep you up-to-date with our news, offers and events via email and/or post; we will always ask if you consent for us to do this and you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.
• We have CCTV cameras in the salons for security reasons. They also provide us with the opportunity to monitor the running of the salon at all times to identify any possible Health & Safety issues so that we can address them as soon as they arise, so we conduct this monitoring on the lawful basis of our legitimate interests as a business.

Who will it be shared with?
We will not share, sell or rent your data to any third parties. We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

How do we store your data?
We store all client information on our secure database that is password protected, which is backed up to an encrypted, password protected cloud storage system. CCTV footage is securely stored and password protected for 30 days, after which time it is deleted.

How long will your data be kept for?
Your data will be kept securely until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive our communications, or after 2 years from your last salon visit, whichever is sooner.

How you can access and update your information?
You are able to view the data we hold on you at any time by contacting Henmsans on 01908 677336 or mk@hensmans.co.uk

CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS POLICY

Our priority is for you to be completely satisfied with the service you receive from us. We run a professional business so we aim for the highest standards in everything we do. Complaints are rare but we take them seriously, so we have a complaints policy and process we follow to make sure things are put right where needed and we learn from your feedback.

PROCESS

Tell someone you’re not happy with the service you’ve received, either while you’re in the salon / barbershop or as soon as possible after leaving. Calmly and clearly explain the problem.

We will listen to your feedback and ask questions as necessary to understand why you are making a complaint. We aim to resolve all complaints within 8 weeks.

If you have already left the salon / barbershop, don’t go to another salon as we have the right to see exactly what the service or treatment you received from us looks like. We will arrange a suitable time for you to come back into our salon and discuss your complaint in private.

Where we think your complaint is reasonable, we will redo the part or all of the service or treatment again as soon as possible, free of charge. The work will be done by a different stylist, barber or beauty therapist if you prefer, although this may not be possible if the individual is self-employed.

If we can’t fix the problem, we may offer a partial or full refund depending on how reasonable we consider your complaint to be.

If, after following our complaints policy we still can’t agree on how to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction, as required by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we will refer you to a certified alternative dispute resolution provider, Small Claims Mediation Ltd. They are mediators, an independent third party which listens to both sides and helps us both work towards a fair and reasonable compromise which, if agreed, becomes legally binding. It is a cheaper alternative for you than taking legal action. We will participate in a one hour session at a mutually time to be agreed with Small Claims Mediation Ltd. Please note there is a charge of £50+VAT for the salon and £50+VAT for you as the client.
