Below, we further explain how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website, use our services, or interact with us online or in person at one of our shops. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use our website or services. These policies apply to all Mr. Winston's locations.
1. What We Collect
Personal Information
Contact Information: We collect your name, phone number, and email when you book an appointment. If you register an account or make a purchase, we store this information for future visits.
Payment Information: Credit card, debit card, or other billing info needed to schedule your appointment. The payment will not be processed until you arrive for your appointment, and we do not retain payment info after processing.

Non-Personal Information
Cookies: We use necessary cookies to support online booking, traffic tracking, and other basic website functions. However, you can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
Third-Party Booking Platforms
Booking software: Our website uses third-party booking software to manage appointments. The contractual agreements we have prevent the use of your name, phone number, email address, or payment information for marketing purposes. However, the third-party platform also has its own privacy policy that governs its data practices.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is ONLY used for the following:
To schedule and manage appointments
To collect and process payments at the barbershop
To announce appointment information (confirmations, reminders, etc.) via email, phone, or text message.
To maintain your client profile for faster and easier future bookings
To comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights, property, or safety
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or share mobile details or personally identifiable information with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. Exceptions for information sharing may include:
Service Providers: As mentioned above, we do limited information sharing with our third-party booking platform solely for appointment scheduling and reminders. We safeguard this information with strict contractual protections.
Legal Requirements: We may share information with legal entities when required by law, regulation, or another valid reason (such as court orders or subpoenas).
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, we may transfer your information as part of that transaction.
4. Your Choices and Rights
For Texas residents booking with us, you have the following rights under TDPSA:
Right to Know: You can request information about any personal data we have gathered about you. We are pleased to give you access to or updates on your customer profile.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we erase your personal information from our records. Deletions are subject to legal preservation obligations (e.g., transaction records).
Right to Correct: You may submit requests for rectification of faulty information contained in your existing client profile.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal information, but you can also file an opt-out at any time.
Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
5. Data Security
Mr. Winston's takes steps on the software and management sides to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Payment information is handled securely, and we do not retain it once the transaction is complete.
However, given the ever-changing nature of the internet, no system is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection of your data.
6. Third-Party Links
Our website may include links to other third-party websites, including our booking platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies on those sites before submitting personal information, as we are not responsible for their privacy practices.
7. Children's Privacy
While we're pleased to provide barbering services to boys, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it ASAP.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in practice or new applicable laws. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
