For California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives California residents specific rights regarding their personal information. In addition to the rights listed above, California residents have:
Right to know the categories of personal information collected, sources, purposes, and third parties with whom information is shared, all disclosed in this policy and the Cookie Declaration.
Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. However, some of the third-party cookies on our website (including analytics and marketing cookies) may involve the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by CPRA. You have the right to opt out of this sharing.
Right to limit use of sensitive personal information. We do not collect sensitive personal information, so this right does not currently apply.
Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.
Global Privacy Control
We recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for California residents. If you have GPC enabled in your browser, we treat that as your opt-out signal.
You can also opt out through the cookie banner on our site, using the settings in the Cookie Declaration above, on the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, or by contacting us directly.
How to Exercise California Rights
To submit a verifiable consumer request, email [email protected] or call (510) 457-1489. You will need to provide enough information for us to verify your identity, including your name, contact information, and details about your request. We will respond within 45 days.
You may submit up to two requests to know per 12-month period at no charge.
If you use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, we may require documentation showing you have authorized the agent to act on your behalf.
For Residents of Other States
Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, and others, have privacy rights similar to those described in the California section above. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected] or (510) 457-1489. We will respond within the timeframes required by your state law.
Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents who bring their children to the shop for haircuts are the primary customer; we collect the parent's contact information, not the child's. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, and misuse. This includes technical safeguards through our service providers, restricted access to information within our organization, and secure payment processing through Squire. No method of transmission or storage is 100 percent secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal information when required by law, including in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, and to protect our rights or the safety of our clients, staff, or the public.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
