PRIVACY POLICY


Last updated: September 2026

Beau.t is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly. This privacy policy explains what information I collect, why I collect it, how it is used and the rights you have over your information.

Who I am

Beau.t is a sole trader skin and beauty business based in Horsham, West Sussex.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Beau.t is responsible for the personal information collected and used in connection with the business.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please contact:

Email: tamzin@beautuk.co.uk

Information I may collect

When you enquire, book an appointment, complete a consultation form, receive a treatment or otherwise interact with Beau.t, I may collect information including:

  • your name and contact details;

  • appointment and booking information;

  • consultation and treatment records;

  • relevant health information, such as medical conditions, allergies, medications, pregnancy or other information needed to determine whether a treatment is suitable for you;

  • treatment photographs where appropriate and with the relevant permission;

  • correspondence between you and Beau.t; and

  • information you provide when using the Beau.t website.

Why I use your information

Your information may be used to:

  • manage enquiries, bookings and appointments;

  • provide treatments and maintain appropriate client records;

  • assess treatment suitability and identify possible contraindications;

  • communicate with you about your appointments and aftercare;

  • maintain records relating to treatments provided;

  • operate and improve the Beau.t website and services;

  • comply with legal, regulatory or insurance requirements; and

  • send marketing communications where you have chosen to receive them.

The lawful basis used will depend on why the information is being processed and may include performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, legitimate interests or your consent.

Some consultation information may include health information, which is classed as special category data under UK data protection law. Where this information is collected, it is only used where necessary in connection with assessing treatment suitability and providing services safely, and an appropriate condition for processing special category data will be identified and documented.

How your information is stored and shared

Beau.t uses trusted third-party services to help manage the business and provide services to clients. These include Fresha, which is used for appointment bookings, client records and consultation information, and Squarespace, which hosts the Beau.t website.

These providers may process personal information on behalf of Beau.t in accordance with their own privacy and security arrangements.

Your information will not be sold to third parties. Information will only be shared where necessary to provide services, operate the business, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, protect legitimate business interests, or where you have given permission.

Where service providers process information outside the UK, appropriate safeguards will be relied upon where required by data protection law.

How long your information is kept

Personal information is only kept for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including providing services, maintaining appropriate treatment records and meeting legal, tax, regulatory or insurance requirements.

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods. When information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or disposed of where appropriate.

Marketing

Beau.t may occasionally contact you about treatments, availability, offers or other relevant updates where you have chosen to receive marketing communications.

You can unsubscribe or ask to stop receiving marketing communications at any time.

Cookies and website information

The Beau.t website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function correctly, understand how visitors use the site and improve the website experience.

Where required, you will be given the option to manage your cookie preferences when visiting the website.

Your data protection rights

Under UK data protection law, you have rights relating to your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include the right to:

  • ask for access to the personal information held about you;

  • ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;

  • ask for your information to be deleted in certain circumstances;

  • ask for the use of your information to be restricted;

  • object to certain uses of your information;

  • request the transfer of certain information; and

  • withdraw consent where consent is being relied upon.

To exercise your rights or ask a question about your personal information, contact tamzin@beautuk.co.uk.

You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how your personal information has been handled.
