Privacy policy

Here at Shop PMU Beauty, we aim to be as clear as possible about how and why we use personal information about you

Shop PMU Beauty is committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy in everything we do. This Policy lets you know what data we may collect about you, how we use it and gives you information about your rights and how you can get in touch with us.

This policy covers the use of our main website, how we manage our direct marketing activities and how we handle your information when you contact us.  Sometimes we may need to change our Privacy Policy. Any changes from Shop PMU Beauty will be published on this website which can be accessed at any time.

What information do we collect about you?

We collect name and contact details (such as email, address and telephone number and sometimes what you’re interested in) when you submit an on line form.  If you call us to book an appointment we may also collect additional data about you to help us in the process.

When visiting this website, we collect your IP address, data showing when you visited, which pages you looked at, information about your operating system, device and browser version. This data is gathered using commonly used tools such as cookies.

Shop PMU Beauty compares information about you in our database with external sources and enriches the data we hold about you. This helps us tailor our communications with you and helps us only offer products and services that you would be interested in, if you choose to receive marketing. It also informs us of any changes, for example when email addresses are no longer valid or mail has been returned, so that we can stop sending marketing.
