1. Introduction

Great Yarmouth Nails ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect information when you use our website greatyarmouthnails.com, including the integrated booking system.

2. Information we collect

3. Purposes of processing

We use your data to confirm and manage bookings, contact you about appointments, send reminders, improve our services, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell customer data to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

We process personal data based on one or more of the following: your consent when you make a booking, performance of a contract (providing the booking/service), our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, and compliance with legal obligations.

5. Data retention & security

We store data on secure servers and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. Data is retained until you request deletion, unless a longer retention period is required by law. If you would like data removed sooner, contact us (see contact details below).

6. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, and request data portability. To exercise your rights, contact us at:

Email: [email protected]
Phone: 01493 853 833

7. Cookies & tracking

Our site uses strictly necessary cookies to operate the booking system and keep sessions. Non‑essential cookies (analytics, advertising, tracking, personalisation) require your consent under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). We will not set non‑essential cookies until you give clear consent using the cookie banner below. You can manage cookie preferences using the controls below, via your browser settings, or withdraw consent at any time.

Note about the booking system: the booking system hosted at booking.greatyarmouthnails.com is developed and operated by Great Yarmouth Nails (our team). It supports core booking functionality and session management required to make and manage appointments. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the booking service (for example, session cookies used to keep your booking in progress) are treated as strictly necessary and are used to provide the service. Any analytics, personalisation or marketing cookies used within the booking system will only be set if you consent to those categories via the cookie controls. If the booking tool is served from a different domain, your browser may treat some cookies as third‑party — the functional/consent approach above still applies.

8. Third-party services

We may use third-party booking providers, email/SMS services, and analytics providers. These third parties process data on our behalf and are required to protect your data according to applicable laws. Examples include booking platforms (the booking iframe), email providers, and analytics services. You can find links to their privacy/cookie pages in our Cookie Policy below where available.

9. International transfers

If your data is transferred outside the UK/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) are in place to protect your personal data.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.

Deferring third-party content (booking iframe) — example

To comply with PECR we recommend not loading third‑party widgets that set cookies until the user has given consent. Below is a minimal example you can add to booking.html (or include in a shared script) to defer loading the booking iframe until consent is present or the user explicitly clicks to load it.

<!-- booking.html: put the real URL in data-src, leave src blank or about:blank -->
<iframe id="bookingFrame" data-src="https://booking.greatyarmouthnails.com/#/home" src="about:blank" title="Booking" width="100%" height="800"></iframe>
<button id="loadBooking">Open booking tool</button>

<script>
  function loadBooking(){
    var f = document.getElementById('bookingFrame');
    if(f && f.dataset.src){ f.src = f.dataset.src; }
  }
  // If consent already present and allows third-party cookies, auto-load
  var pref = (function(){
    try{ return JSON.parse(document.cookie.match('(^|;)\\s*' + 'gyn_cookie_preference' + '\\s*=\\s*([^;]+)')?.pop() || null); }catch(e){return null}
  })();
  if(pref && pref.prefs && (pref.prefs.analytics || pref.prefs.marketing)) loadBooking();

  // Listen for consent changes
  document.addEventListener('cookie-consent-changed', function(e){
    var obj = e.detail;
    if(obj && obj.prefs && (obj.prefs.analytics || obj.prefs.marketing)) loadBooking();
  });

  document.getElementById('loadBooking').addEventListener('click', loadBooking);
</script>
      

Alternatively, you can always link directly to the booking site (opens in a new tab) from your pages; this avoids setting third‑party cookies in the user's browser on your domain.
