Applies to: goldenbuffalobodyarts.com and any pages that link to this policy (“Site”)

Golden Buffalo Body Arts (“Golden Buffalo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

SCOPE

This policy covers information collected on the Site, via our contact forms, and when you book appointments through our online scheduler. It does not cover information collected in-studio on paper forms or through third-party websites we don’t control.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

  • You provide: name, email, phone, preferred appointment details, messages you send us, and (if applicable) consent forms submitted online.

  • Collected automatically: IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, and interactions (via cookies, pixels, and similar tech).

  • From third parties: if you book online or pay a deposit, certain information is processed by our vendor(s) (see §5).

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Site and our services

  • Schedule and manage appointments and communicate with you

  • Respond to inquiries and provide customer support

  • Security, fraud prevention, and compliance

  • Marketing our services (you can opt out anytime)

COOKIES & SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We (and our service providers) use cookies/pixels to remember preferences, measure Site performance, and understand usage. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; disabling some cookies may limit Site functionality. For interest-based ads served by others, see opt-out tools from NAI/DAA.

WHEN WE SHARE INFORMATION

We share information with:

  • Service providers who help us run the Site (hosting, email), schedule appointments, and take payments. For online booking and/or payments we use Square; information entered there is processed under Square’s privacy practices.

  • Legal/safety: if required by law, to protect rights/safety, or in connection with a business transaction.

We do not sell or “share” (for cross-context behavioral advertising) your personal information.

DATA RETENTION

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, to comply with legal obligations, and to resolve disputes. Retention periods vary by record type.

YOUR CHOICES

  • Marketing emails/texts: opt out using the link in messages or by contacting us.

  • Cookies: adjust your browser settings; some analytics/ads vendors also offer opt-outs.

  • Access/Update/Delete: contact us (see §12) and we’ll assist where required by law.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Site is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will delete it.

SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track.” We don’t respond to DNT signals, but you can control cookies as described in §4.

STATE/REGIONAL DISCLOSURES

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights (e.g., access, correction, deletion). We honor those rights as required by applicable law. We do not sell or share personal information and do not profile in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about individuals.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Site may link to third-party sites (e.g., maps, social media). We don’t control their content or policies. Check their privacy notices.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

If we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date and post the revised policy here. Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
