Privacy notice
What Noir & Gilt Salon collects when a guest requests an appointment or joins the salon notes, why it is collected, how long it is kept and how to have it removed.
Effective date: September 13, 2026
What the contact form collects
The contact form collects a name, an email address, an optional telephone number, who the appointment is for, when the visit is wanted, an optional town or state, the service selected, how a reply should be sent, and the message itself. Nothing else is requested and nothing else is required.
It is an ordinary enquiry form and not a secure channel. Card numbers, identity documents and health records should not be sent through it, though a note of past colour reactions, allergies or a sensitive scalp is welcome: Noir & Gilt Salon is not a medical practice, it does not assess health conditions, and it has no use for any of them.
What the subscribe form collects
The subscribe form collects an email address and nothing else. No name, no telephone number and no postal address is asked for, and an address on that list is not matched to any appointment.
An address given to the subscribe form is used to send the occasional salon note, which covers a change to a service, a change to a price, and the days the salon is closed. It is used for nothing else.
Why the information is collected
Contact details are collected in order to answer the message that was sent and, where an appointment is wanted, to agree a time for it. Subscribe addresses are collected in order to send the notes that were asked for.
Neither form is used to track a visitor across other websites, and nothing either form collects is sold, rented or passed to anybody for marketing.
Who else receives the information
A message sent from this site passes through the hosting provider that serves these pages and the email service that delivers it. Each provider receives only what it needs in order to deliver the page or the message.
No advertising network, analytics service or social platform receives anything submitted through either form, and no other salon, shop or business is sent any part of it.
How long it is kept
A contact message is kept while the enquiry is open, and for the short period after an appointment in which a guest might write again about it. A record that has to be kept to meet a legal obligation is kept only for the period required.
A subscribe address is kept until the person who gave it asks for it to be removed.
Security, and its limits
Pages and forms on this site are served over an encrypted connection, and a message that arrives is read only by the people at Noir & Gilt Salon who answer the diary.
No transmission over the internet and no stored record can be guaranteed absolutely secure. That is a limit of the medium, and stating otherwise would be false.
Choices a visitor has
Completing either form is a choice. The service list, the prices and the stylists are all readable without giving an email address, and no page here is hidden behind one.
A subscriber can stop the notes at any time, and doing so has no effect on an appointment that is already booked.
Asking for removal
A request to delete a contact message, or to come off the subscribe list, goes by email to [email protected]. The word remove is enough, and no reason has to be given.
Noir & Gilt Salon reads that mailbox during opening hours and confirms the removal back to the address that asked for it. Where a record has to be kept to meet a legal obligation, the salon says so instead of deleting it quietly.
Contacting the business about privacy
Privacy questions go to [email protected], the same address as every other message, which is on the contact page and in the footer of every page here.
This notice is revised whenever Noir & Gilt Salon changes what it collects, how long it keeps it or who it is shared with, and the effective date above moves with it.
