Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Modern Salon Owner (modernsalonowner.com, operated by Kate Harlow) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit our website or download free templates.

What we collect

When you download a free template, we ask for:

• First name — so we can address you by name in emails
• Email address — to send you the download and occasional updates about new templates and books

We also collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and analytics purposes. We do not sell or rent this data.

How we use your data

• To provide access to free downloadable templates
• To send occasional emails about new books, templates, and salon business resources from Modern Salon Owner
• To improve the website based on aggregate usage data

We will never sell your data to third parties or use it for anything unrelated to Modern Salon Owner content.

Email communications

By submitting your email to download templates, you agree to receive occasional emails from Modern Salon Owner. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us directly at hello@modernsalonowner.com to be removed from all communications.

Data storage

Your name and email are stored securely on our web server, hosted by Hostinger. We retain subscriber data for as long as you remain subscribed. Unsubscribing removes you from email communications; you may request full deletion of your data at any time.

Cookies

We use session storage (not persistent cookies) to remember that you have already entered your email in the current browser session, so you don't need to enter it again for each download. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Google Analytics uses cookies — you can opt out via your browser settings or a tool like Google's opt-out extension.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (California), or similar laws, including the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing or withdraw consent

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@modernsalonowner.com.
