This page explains how Hair Savvy Studio collects, uses, and protects any personal information you provide when using our website. We keep things plain and straightforward so you know exactly where you stand.
This privacy policy applies to Hair Savvy Studio, an SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) studio based in Birmingham, operating the website hairsavvystudio.co.uk.
For the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, Hair Savvy Studio is the data controller responsible for any personal information collected through this website.
If you have any questions about how we handle your data, you can reach out at any time using the contact details at the bottom of this page.
We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our website.
When you fill out a contact form or enquiry form, we collect the details you choose to provide. This typically includes:

This information is anonymised where possible and used purely to understand how the site is performing.
We only use your personal information for clear, specific reasons. Specifically:
We will never sell your data, rent it out, or pass it to third parties for marketing purposes.
Under UK GDPR we need a lawful reason to process your personal data. Depending on the situation, we rely on one of the following:
When you tick a box, submit a form, or accept cookies, you are giving us consent to process your data for the purpose specified at that point. You can withdraw consent at any time.
We may process certain data where it’s in our legitimate business interest to do so (for example, replying to an enquiry you’ve sent us), and where doing so doesn’t override your rights or freedoms.
In some cases we may need to process data to comply with a legal obligation, such as keeping records for tax or accounting purposes.
Our website uses cookies to function properly and to help us understand how visitors use the site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a webpage.
We provide a separate, detailed Cookies Policy that explains exactly which cookies we use, what they do, and how you can manage or disable them.
Quick summary: we use essential cookies to make the site work, and analytics cookies (only with your consent) to see how the site is being used. You’re in control of which optional cookies you allow.
We don’t share your personal data with anyone for marketing purposes. Where data is shared, it’s only with trusted service providers who help us run the website. These currently include:
All third party providers we use are required to keep your data secure and to only use it for the specific purpose for which we’ve shared it. We will never sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for their own marketing.
We may also disclose your information if we are legally required to do so, for example by a court order, regulator, or law enforcement.
We only keep your personal data for as long as we need to, based on the reason it was collected. As a general rule:
When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it securely.
We take the security of your personal information seriously. Our website is hosted on a secure platform protected by SSL encryption, which is the standard used by banks and major websites to keep data safe during transmission.
Within our business, access to personal data is limited to people who need it to do their job, and all are required to handle it responsibly.
While we do everything reasonable to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If you have any concerns about how your information is being handled, please get in touch.
Under UK GDPR you have several rights regarding your personal data. You can:
To exercise any of these rights, simply email us. We’ll respond within 30 days as required by law.
