Privacy notice

What we keep when you book or write to us, and what we never do with it.

This notice explains what personal information Shear & Co. collects through this website and in the shop, and what happens to it. Last updated: 1 October 2026.

Who we are

Shear & Co. Ltd, 18 Raeburn Place, Edinburgh EH4 1HN, is responsible for your personal data. Write to hello@shearandco.example about anything on this page.

What we collect

  • Bookings and enquiries: your name, email, phone number if you give it, and what you write

  • Appointment notes: the services you have had, the stylist, and colour formulas, so the next appointment matches the last

  • The monthly email: your email address and when you signed up, only if you ask for it

  • Website use: anonymous, aggregated statistics with no advertising cookies and no tracking across other sites

What we do not do

We do not sell or share your details, we do not post photographs of you without asking first, and we do not keep card details — payments are taken at the desk.

How long we keep it

Appointment notes stay for two years after your last visit, then they are deleted. Enquiries that never became a booking are deleted after six months.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your personal data by writing to hello@shearandco.example. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
