Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Goodwin's Barbers ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit our website at goodwinsbarbers.co.uk or get in touch with us. We are based in Newark, Nottinghamshire, and we take your privacy seriously.

Who we are

Goodwin's Barbers, Unit 1, Thorpe's Warehouse, Navigation Yard, Newark, NG24 4GT. If you have any questions about this policy or your information, you can reach us at [email protected].

The information we collect

Our website is mainly an information page about our shop and services. We only collect personal information in a few limited situations:

• When you email us. If you contact us using the email address on the site, we receive your email address and whatever details you choose to share with us.
• When you book an appointment. Bookings are handled by Booksy, a third-party booking platform. When you click a "Book" button you are taken to Booksy, and any details you enter there are collected and processed by Booksy under their own privacy policy.
• Basic technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical data such as your approximate location, browser type and the pages you visit, in order to keep the site running and secure.

Third-party services we use

Some parts of our website rely on trusted third-party services. When you use these features, information may be shared with those providers under their own privacy policies:

• Booksy – for online appointment booking.
• Google Maps – we embed a map so you can find us; Google may collect data when the map loads.
• YouTube – we embed videos of our work; YouTube (Google) may collect data when a video loads or plays.
• Soro – powers the blog section of our website.
• Cloudflare – hosts and helps secure our website.

How we use your information

We use the limited information we collect only to:

• respond to enquiries you send us;
• arrange and manage appointments;
• keep our website working, secure and reliable.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for marketing without your consent.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purpose it was given — for example, to answer your enquiry or manage your appointment — and then delete it, unless we are required to keep it longer by law.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to ask us what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to how we use it. To make any of these requests, just email us at [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information.

Cookies

Our own website does not set marketing cookies. However, the third-party services listed above (such as Google Maps, YouTube and Booksy) may set their own cookies when those features load. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will appear on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
