Privacy Policy

The Saloon Edit Effective Date: 13 August 2026

The Saloon Edit ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through thesaloonedit.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and your choices regarding that information. The Saloon Edit operates under a valid trade license issued in the United Arab Emirates, and this policy is intended to align with the UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data ("UAE PDPL").

By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Newsletter sign-up: your email address, when you subscribe to updates.

  • Consultation inquiries / contact forms: your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share (e.g., project descriptions, budget, preferences) when reaching out for a consultation or general inquiry.

  • Correspondence: any information you send us via email (thesaloonedit@gmail.com) or other communication channels.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically When you browse the Site, certain technical information may be collected automatically through our website platform (Squarespace) and any analytics tools we use, such as:

  • IP address and general location (city/country level)

  • Browser type and device information

  • Pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring URLs

  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 4)

1.3 Information From Third Parties If you interact with embedded third-party content (such as Etsy listings, Instagram embeds, or social sharing buttons like Pinterest Save), those platforms may independently collect information about your interaction, governed by their own privacy policies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Send newsletter updates and respond to inquiries, if you've opted in or contacted us directly

  • Provide, manage, and follow up on consultation services

  • Understand how visitors use the Site, in order to improve content and design

  • Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site

  • Comply with legal obligations under UAE law

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. How We Share Information

We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site or deliver services (e.g., Squarespace as our website/hosting platform, email newsletter tools, payment processors if used for consultation bookings). These providers are only permitted to use your information to perform services on our behalf.

  • Legal authorities, if required to comply with UAE law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

  • Business transfers, if The Saloon Edit is ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Cookies

The Site, hosted on Squarespace, uses cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, and gather basic analytics about visitor behavior. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some parts of the Site may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy — for example, for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter, or for a reasonable period after a consultation inquiry to allow for follow-up. You may request deletion of your information at any time (see Section 7).

6. Data 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 or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate information

  • Request deletion of your personal information

  • Withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time (e.g., by unsubscribing from our newsletter)

  • Object to or restrict certain processing of your information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at thesaloonedit@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with UAE law.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. International Visitors

The Site may be accessed by visitors outside the UAE. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be processed in the UAE or in other jurisdictions where our service providers (such as Squarespace) operate, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Effective Date" above will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
