For salons and beauty businesses
Your bookings and client records, properly protected.
Salons hold contact details, payment details and consultation forms that can include health information. Brightlock Cyber shows you how to keep them safe and meet UK GDPR, without the jargon.
The risks we see most in salons and beauty businesses
01
Health details on consultation forms
Patch tests and consultations can include health information, which UK GDPR treats as extra sensitive.
02
Booking app takeovers
If someone gets into your booking system, they can see every client, cancel appointments or message your clients pretending to be you.
03
Client photos and consent
Posting before-and-after photos without written consent can break data protection rules and damage trust.
