Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how salons.city ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information when you visit our website or use our services.
Salons.City is a paid advertising directory for beauty professionals. We do not sell products, perform services, verify businesses, or act as an intermediary between clients and salon owners. Our role is limited to displaying advertising listings submitted by business owners.
By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
- Visitor data: IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is collected automatically via server logs and analytics tools.
- Contact form submissions: Name, email address, and message content when you voluntarily contact us.
- Advertiser submissions: Business name, address, phone number, website, description, and any photos submitted by salon owners when creating a listing.
- Payment data: For premium listings, payment is processed by a third-party processor. We do not store credit card numbers or payment details.
How We Use It
We use collected information solely to operate and maintain the directory:
- To display business listings submitted by advertisers on city pages.
- To respond to contact form inquiries and support requests.
- To process payments for premium listing plans.
- To monitor site performance, detect abuse, and improve the platform.
- To send renewal notices to advertisers before their listing expires.
We do not use your data for targeted advertising, sell it to data brokers, or use it for any purpose unrelated to operating this directory.
Disclosure
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate the site (hosting, payment processing, analytics) under confidentiality agreements.
- Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or valid request from public authorities.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Advertiser Data & Listings
Information submitted by salon owners when creating a listing — including business name, address, phone number, website, and photos — is displayed publicly on the platform as part of their advertisement.
We do not verify, validate, or fact-check any information submitted by advertisers. All listing content is the responsibility of the business owner who submitted it. We are not responsible for the accuracy of advertiser-submitted information.
If you are an advertiser and wish to update or remove your listing, please contact us at our contact page.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to operate the site (session management, security). We may also use analytics cookies to understand aggregate visitor behavior.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or share behavioral data with ad networks. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site functionality may be affected.
Third-Party Links
Listings on our platform contain links to advertiser websites. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or security of those external sites. Clicking a link to an advertiser's website takes you outside of Salons.City entirely.
We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party site, and we do not endorse, verify, or guarantee any business or website linked from our directory.
Security
We use standard technical measures to protect data stored on our platform, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute protection of any information transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of information we hold about you.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
