What Information Does FG MAN Collect and Why?

New Client Details

We request the minimum level of personally identifying information to run our business effectively. This is data you provide us directly, for example, your name, address and contact details, including email address and telephone number, date of birth and title. We also ask how you would prefer to be contacted (email, SMS text, telephone, post or none) regarding appointment information, news or possible promotions. We are interested to hear how you found out about FG MAN, which may include who you were referred by and we like to record details of the age range you fall within for relevant marketing communication and updates if you opted in. We will never obtain information about you indirectly from sources outside our business.

Appointment Confirmations and Reminders

We will contact you via phone, email or SMS to confirm appointments booked and remind you of upcoming appointments. We consider your having made the appointment as consent to undertake this activity but, if you want, you may opt-out at any time.

Appointment Ratings and Reviews

After visiting us we may send you an email or SMS asking you to rate our services and provide feedback. We consider your agreement and participation in the service as consent to undertake this activity but, if you want, you may opt out at any time.

Loyalty

We consider becoming a member of our loyalty program as consent to send you emails related to the loyalty program but, if you want, you may opt out at any time.

Marketing

We will not undertake phone, mail, email or SMS marketing without you first providing consent for us to do so. Some of our marketing campaigns are automated and use rules based on services and products purchased and information we collect from you. For example, we may send marketing campaigns related to your birthday, the fact we miss you (you have not visited for 3 months) and other special days like Valentine’s Day and Christmas. Of course, you may opt out of receiving marketing material at any time.

Who Has Access to Data?

Your information may be seen and shared with salon team members if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles. For instance, the Front of House Coordinator may need your contact number to telephone you about your appointment or a Technician may need to check your colour service history prior to your visit.

Any compliments, comments or complaints may be dealt with via Head Office, so we may need your name, address, email and/or telephone number to respond to you.
