Privacy Policy

Introduction

Beauty Café respects privacy and is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to this site. We seek to employ best practice when it comes to the collection and processing of personal information. A brief summary of how we manage that is set out in this policy.

Type of Information Collected

Every computer connected to the internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer’s “Internet Protocol” (IP address). When a visitor requests a page from a web site, the web server may record that visitor’s domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We may use this information to examine traffic in aggregate.

From time to time we may save a “cookie” on your computer. Some information about cookies:

• A cookie is a small text file sent from our web server that is saved on your hard drive via your internet browser.
• A cookie cannot read data from your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other web sites.
• We may use cookies to identify which areas of the site you have visited in order to monitor and improve our site or to improve your user experience of the site.
• You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your internet browser.
• You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent.
• If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site and other web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

In order to fulfil certain services that can be requested through our site, such as salon and small business listings, we may need your email address, address, phone and other personal or business details and possibly your postal address. Only the information necessary for your business advertising will be displayed on our website and therefore open to the public.

Any other information provided by you, that is not used for your business advertising, will remain confidential and will not be passed on to anyone outside of Beauty Café without your prior consent. Sharing with any third party, should that become necessary, will only be done to service your business in response to a direct request from you.
