Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect the information you provide when you create an account or book a service:

• Name and email address — required to create your account and send booking confirmations.
• Phone number — optional; you may add it later via Edit Profile so the salon can reach you about last-minute changes.
• Booking details — the services, date, time, and stylist you choose.
• Profile photo — optional; only uploaded if you choose to add one.
• Device and usage data — basic technical information (device type, app version) to keep the service secure and reliable.

2. Sign-in methods and third-party data sharing

You can sign in with your email address, a one-time code (OTP), or your Google account. When you choose Google Sign-In, Google shares your name, email address, and profile photo with us as part of the authentication process. We do not receive your Google password. Your choice of sign-in method does not affect how your data is used inside the app.

3. How we use your information

• Create and manage your account
• Confirm, remind, and track your salon appointments
• Send transactional emails (booking confirmations, reschedule and cancellation notices)
• Provide customer support
• Improve the app's reliability and security

4. Service providers and data processors

We use the following third-party services to operate the app. Each acts as a data processor on our behalf and is contractually required to protect your data:

• Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage) — stores your account information, bookings, and any photos you upload. Firebase is operated by Google LLC. Data is stored in Google's cloud infrastructure.
• Gmail / Google Workspace — used to send OTP codes and booking notification emails.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

5. Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS encryption). Your data is stored in Google Firebase, which employs industry-standard security measures including encryption at rest. We do not store payment card information — all payments are handled in person at the salon.

6. Data retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account (via Profile → Delete Account), your profile and booking history are permanently removed from our systems within a reasonable time, except where we are required to retain limited records for legal or accounting purposes.

7. Your rights

You can access and correct your information at any time from Profile → Edit Profile. You can permanently delete your account from Profile → Delete Account. If you are in the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction with data-protection rights (such as the right to data portability or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority), please contact us at the email below to exercise those rights.

8. International users

Quasar Salon is operated in India. If you are accessing the app from outside India, please be aware that your information may be transferred to and processed in India or other countries where Google's infrastructure operates. By using the app, you consent to this transfer.

9. Children

Quasar Salon is intended for adults (13 and older). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have done so, we will delete the information promptly.
