5. Legal basis for processing

We process personal data only when there is a valid legal basis to do so. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Performance of a contract: when processing is necessary to arrange or provide a treatment or service

  • Consent: when you have actively agreed to a particular use of your information

  • Legal obligation: when information must be retained or processed to comply with applicable laws

  • Legitimate interests: when processing is reasonably necessary to operate, improve or protect our business and does not override your privacy rights

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

6. Treatment and health-related information

To provide safe and appropriate treatments, we may ask you to share information relevant to your skin, health, allergies, sensitivities, pregnancy, medication or previous treatments.

We only request and use this information when it is relevant to the treatment or service being provided. Where required, this information is processed with your explicit consent and handled with additional care.

Please only provide information that is accurate and relevant to your treatment.

7. How long do we keep your information?

We do not retain personal data for longer than necessary.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected. Appointment, client and treatment information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide ongoing services, maintain appropriate records, respond to questions or claims, and meet legal obligations.

Financial and administrative records are retained for the period required under applicable Dutch tax and accounting laws.

When personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised.

8. Who do we share information with?

We may use trusted third-party service providers to operate our website and provide our services, including:

  • Government bodies, regulators or other parties where disclosure is required by law

These providers may process personal information on our behalf or as independent data controllers under their own privacy policies.

We only share information where necessary and do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.

9. International data transfers

Some service providers may process or store personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used where required under applicable data-protection law. These may include adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other legally recognised safeguards.
