4. TREATMENT AND SPECIAL-CATEGORY INFORMATION

When you book or receive certain treatments, we may need to collect information about allergies, sensitivities, medical conditions, medications or other health-related circumstances in order to assess suitability, identify potential contraindications and provide treatments safely.

Information concerning health is subject to additional protection under data protection law.

Where required, we will obtain the appropriate consent or rely on another lawful basis available under applicable data protection law for processing this information.

You are responsible for providing accurate and relevant information and informing us of any changes that may affect your treatment.

5. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may send marketing communications about Vanilla Beauty products, treatments, training courses, offers, promotions and events where we have a lawful basis to do so.

Where consent is required, marketing consent will be requested separately from acceptance of our Terms & Conditions and will not be a condition of purchasing a product or booking a service.

You can withdraw your marketing consent or opt out of marketing communications at any time. Marketing emails will also include an unsubscribe option where applicable.

This does not prevent us from sending necessary non-marketing communications relating to orders, bookings, appointments, payments, enquiries, accounts, treatments or other services you have requested.

Electronic direct marketing is subject to additional requirements under Ireland's ePrivacy Regulations.

  • Website analytics and technical service providers.

  • Professional advisers, accountants or other service providers where necessary.

  • Government authorities, regulators or law enforcement where we are legally required to do so.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Where we use third-party service providers to process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data protection requirements are in place.

7. COOKIES AND WEBSITE TECHNOLOGIES

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to allow the website to function, remember preferences, understand website usage and, where applicable, support analytics or marketing.

Some cookies may be provided by third-party services used on our website.

Where required, we will request your consent before placing or using non-essential cookies.

Further information about cookies and how to manage them may be provided through our Cookie Policy or website cookie settings.

8. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no online system or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

  • Provide products and services.

  • Maintain customer, treatment or training records.

  • Meet legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

  • Resolve disputes or complaints.

  • Establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
