Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

Encryption

All data transmitted between your browser and our website is encrypted using TLS/SSL (HTTPS). Data stored in our systems is encrypted at rest.

Access Controls

Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only, using role-based access controls and secure authentication. Staff access is limited to the minimum data necessary for their role.

Secure Infrastructure

Our systems are hosted on Google Cloud Platform (Firebase), which provides enterprise-grade security including network protection, regular security audits, and compliance with international security standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2).

Credential Security

Sensitive credentials and API keys are stored securely using Google Cloud Secret Manager. We do not store passwords in plain text; all authentication credentials are securely hashed.

Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours and inform affected individuals without undue delay, in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.

While we implement robust security measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We continuously review and update our security practices to protect your personal data.

Google API Data

Our application uses Google APIs to provide calendar-based booking functionality for our staff. The following disclosures apply to data obtained through Google APIs:

Data We Access

When a staff member connects their Google Calendar, we access calendar event data (specifically event times and free/busy status) solely to determine availability for customer booking appointments.

How We Use This Data

Google Calendar data is used exclusively to check staff availability and to create calendar events for confirmed customer bookings. We cache free/busy time blocks to provide instant availability queries for the booking system.

Data Storage and Protection

Google OAuth tokens are stored securely in our database with access restricted to authorised server-side processes only. Cached calendar data is limited to free/busy time blocks and does not include event details, titles, descriptions, or attendee information.

Data Sharing

We do not share, transfer, or disclose Google user data to any third parties. Google data is not used for advertising, marketing, or any purpose other than providing the booking functionality described above.

Data Retention and Deletion

Cached calendar availability data is refreshed regularly and old data is automatically replaced. When a staff member disconnects their Google Calendar, their OAuth tokens and cached calendar data are deleted. Staff members can revoke access at any time through their Google Account settings or through our admin panel.

AI and Machine Learning

Google user data is not used to develop, improve, or train generalised or non-personalised AI and/or machine learning models.

Our use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. For more information about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection.
