We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Our online booking is powered by Squire. When you book through our site, you are also subject to Squire's Privacy Policy. We may also use Google services (including Google Business Profile and Google Analytics) to manage our online presence and understand site traffic. These services have their own privacy policies independent of ours.

6. Cookies

Our website may use cookies to improve your browsing experience and collect aggregate usage statistics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so will not affect your ability to book an appointment or contact us.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
