Privacy Policy
Veronica Styles (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a hair studio in King City, California, run by licensed cosmetologist Veronica Ruiz. This policy explains what information we collect through veronicastyles.com and our appointment text messages, how we use it, and who we share it with.
Our website and text messaging are built and operated for us by Caballo Development. We do not sell your personal information.
01Information we collect
Information you give us
- Your name and mobile phone number
- The services you request and your preferred appointment date and time
- Any note you add for Veronica when booking
- Messages you type into the booking assistant
- Your choice about receiving text messages, and when you made it
- If you leave a review: your name, star rating, and comment
Information collected automatically
When you visit, our servers record basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, and the time of the request. We use this to keep the site running and secure — for example, to stop automated abuse.
Information stored on your device
Your browser stores your language choice (English or Spanish) and a temporary identifier that keeps your chat conversation together. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
02How we use it
- To schedule, confirm, and manage your appointments
- To send appointment text messages, only if you agreed to receive them
- To answer your questions through the booking assistant
- To keep a record of your visits so Veronica can serve you well
- To keep the website secure and working properly
- To meet legal obligations
03Our booking assistant
The chat on our website is an automated assistant powered by artificial intelligence — not a person. The messages you type are sent to our AI provider so it can write a reply.
Please don’t share sensitive information in the chat, such as health details or payment card numbers. The assistant can make mistakes. Every booking, price, and time is confirmed by Veronica before it’s final.
05Text messages
Receiving texts is optional. You can choose to receive them by checking an unchecked box when you book. If you don’t, you can still book and Veronica will contact you by phone.
- What we send: booking confirmations, updates on your request, appointment reminders, and cancellation notices. We don’t send marketing messages.
- How often: message frequency varies — usually two to four messages per appointment.
- Cost: message and data rates may apply.
- Stopping texts: reply STOP at any time. Reply HELP for help, or call (831) 585-0639.
06How long we keep it
We keep appointment records for as long as we need them to provide our services and keep ordinary business records. Chat conversations are held on our servers only temporarily and cleared within a few hours; our AI provider may keep them for a limited time under its own policies. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
07Your choices
- See, correct, or delete your information: call us and we’ll help.
- Stop text messages: reply STOP to any message.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Our site doesn’t respond to it differently, because we don’t track visitors across other websites or use advertising trackers.
Third parties on our site
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts and an image from Unsplash, so your browser connects to those services and they receive technical information such as your IP address. We don’t allow any third party to use our site to track you across other websites.
08Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections and a password-protected system that only Veronica can access. We don’t take payments online and never collect card numbers through the website. No method of storing or sending information is completely secure, but we work to protect yours.
09Children
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
10Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the effective date at the top. For significant changes, we’ll also note it on our website.
