Privacy Policy

Your information, handled with care

This policy explains what information Vanessa's Makeup collects when you use this website or book a service, how it is used and the choices you have.

Last updated November 5, 2026

The short version

  • We collect only what you type into the booking form, plus the basic technical data every website receives.
  • We use it to answer your request and run your booking. We never sell it or share it for advertising.
  • This site uses no analytics, ad trackers or advertising cookies, just one security cookie that protects the form.
  • You can ask to see, correct or delete your information at any time through the contact form.

The short version is a summary for convenience. The numbered terms below are the agreement and control if anything differs.

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how Vanessa's Makeup ("we," "us"), a makeup artist based in St. Johns County, Florida, handles personal information collected through this website and our booking process.

2. Information We Collect

  • Information you give us. When you send the booking form, we collect your name, email address, phone number (optional), event date, service, event location and message. During a booking, we may also collect your skin, allergy and health notes, Guest names and payment records.
  • Technical information. Like every website, our hosting server receives your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. It keeps this in standard server logs for security and troubleshooting.
  • Form security data. To stop spam, the form uses a one-time security token and a short-lived session cookie. It also records a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address to limit repeat submissions. We never store your raw IP address for this.

3. How We Use It

  • to reply to your request, check availability and quote your booking;
  • to plan and provide your services safely, including avoiding products you react to;
  • to take payment and keep business and tax records;
  • to protect the website from spam, fraud and abuse; and
  • to meet legal obligations.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, and we do not send marketing email unless you ask us to.

4. Cookies and Tracking

This website sets one cookie, a strictly necessary session cookie that secures the booking form. It expires when you close your browser. We do not use analytics, advertising pixels, social media trackers or third-party advertising cookies.

Our fonts load from Google Fonts. When they load, your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address under Google's Privacy Policy.

5. When We Share Information

WE DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, AND WE DO NOT SHARE IT FOR TARGETED ADVERTISING.

We share information only:

  • with service providers who help us run the business, such as website hosting, email and payment processing, and only as needed to provide their service;
  • with other vendors on your event, such as your planner, only if you ask us to; and
  • when required by law, or to protect our rights, safety or property.

6. Photos

Photos of finished work may be used in our portfolio as described in our Terms of Service, unless you opt out in writing before your appointment. To have a published photo of you removed, send a request through our contact form and we will take it down from this website and our social media.

7. How Long We Keep It

We keep booking requests that don't become bookings for up to 12 months. We keep booking and payment records as long as tax and business law requires. Skin and allergy notes are kept only as long as you remain a client. Server logs are rotated automatically by our host.

8. How We Protect It

The booking form is protected against spam, forgery and injection. Booking emails are delivered from our own domain, and our contact address is never published on this website. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we use reasonable safeguards and limit access to the people who need the information.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You can ask us to:

  • tell you what personal information we hold about you;
  • correct it if it is wrong;
  • delete it, unless we must keep it by law; and
  • stop using a photo of you.

Send any request through our contact form. We will verify the request and respond within 30 days. If you live in a state with its own privacy law, we will honor the rights that law gives you.

10. Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information online. Services for minors are booked by a parent or guardian.

11. Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we will update the "last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be noted on this page.

12. Contact
