Privacy Policy — J. James Unisex Salon App

1. Overview

This privacy policy explains how the J. James Unisex Salon App (“the App”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information.

The App is owned and operated by J. James Unisex Salon, located in Sacramento, California.

Sunset Coding LLC serves solely as the contracted technology partner responsible for maintaining the App’s infrastructure, database, and bug fixes. Sunset Coding LLC does not own, control, or use client data beyond what is necessary for technical maintenance and support.

2. Information We Collect

We collect limited personal information necessary to provide booking, communication, and appointment services:

• Contact Information: Name, phone number, email address.
• Appointment Details: Selected service, preferred time, stylist notes, and status updates.
• Style References: Optional photos you upload as inspiration for your stylist.
• Device Data: Notification tokens, app version, and basic error logs to improve performance and security.

We do not collect financial information directly. All payments are handled through Square, which has its own privacy policy.

3. How Your Data Is Used

Your data is used only to:

• Manage appointments and confirmations.
• Send notifications and reminders.
• Upload, store, and display style reference images for your stylist.
• Improve app performance and resolve technical issues.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data for marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Retention (User-Driven Deletion)

All appointment and profile data are securely stored in Google Firebase and Firestore, managed by Sunset Coding LLC on behalf of J. James Unisex Salon.

When you upload a style reference image for an appointment, that image is securely linked to the appointment record and visible only to you and authorized salon staff involved in your service.

User-controlled deletion: Style reference images are permanently deleted only when you (the client) archive the appointment from your “My Appointments” section.

Admin archiving does not delete images. Administrative archives are for internal scheduling and record-keeping only.

If you choose not to archive an appointment, your style reference image will remain securely stored until you take that action.

You may also contact support at any time to request manual deletion if you prefer not to archive through the app.

This design gives you full control over when uploaded images are removed. Once an appointment is archived by the user, its linked images are immediately and permanently deleted from Firebase Storage, and metadata is purged during the next synchronization cycle.

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and only authorized personnel have access to appointment records.

5. Data Retention and Deletion Requests

We retain data only as long as necessary to provide services or as required by law. You may request deletion of your profile or appointment history by contacting support (email below). Deletion requests are verified and processed securely.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your data.
• Withdraw from notifications at any time.
• Request details about stored information.

To exercise these rights, please contact the salon or Sunset Coding support.

7. Third-Party Services

The App relies on trusted third-party providers to function:

• Firebase / Google Cloud — Authentication, data storage, push notifications.
• Square Payments — Secure checkout and transactions.
• Google Maps — Location display and navigation integration.

Each service has its own independent privacy policy and data handling standards.

8. Children’s Privacy

This App is intended for individuals aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The most current version will always be available at this page with the effective date above.
