PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: July 9, 2026
Starling Salon ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website at www.starlingsalon.com (the "Site"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. This Policy applies only to information collected through the Site.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information you give us. When you fill out a form on the Site, such as our contact form, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, and any message you send us. We use this information to respond to you.
Booking and purchases. If you request an appointment or make a purchase through our Site, the information you provide is used to arrange your appointment or order. Payments and bookings are handled by our third-party booking and payment providers under their own privacy policies, not ours.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, when you visit the Site we automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies. This may include your device and browser type, your IP address, the pages you view, how you arrived at the Site, and how you move through and interact with the pages. Our analytics and advertising partners may also set their own identifiers. This information helps us understand and improve how the Site is used and, as described below, measure our advertising.
COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
We use cookies (small text files stored by your browser) and similar technologies for these purposes:
- Necessary cookies set by our website platform, Squarespace, to keep the Site working, secure, and functional.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
- Advertising and targeting cookies, set by us or our advertising partners, to show ads for our business and to measure how those ads perform. See Advertising and Retargeting below.
You can control cookies through the cookie choices on our Site, where available, and through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
ANALYTICS AND SESSION ANALYTICS
To understand how our Site is used and to improve it, we use two analytics services:
- Google Analytics, which collects standard website usage data such as pages viewed, time on site, and general location. You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy, and you can opt out across all sites using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .
- Microsoft Clarity, which helps us see how visitors interact with our pages. Clarity produces heatmaps and may capture session recordings of on-page activity such as clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement, so we can find and fix usability problems. Clarity automatically masks text and information entered into forms, so the content you type is not captured in these recordings. You can learn more in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
ADVERTISING AND RETARGETING
As we grow our marketing, we use advertising and measurement technologies from the platforms below to promote Starling Salon and to understand which ads lead people to contact us or book with us.
- Google Ads. We use Google Ads features such as remarketing and conversion tracking to show our ads across Google and its partner sites and to measure the results. This may include Google Analytics advertising features and Google signals.
- Meta (Facebook and Instagram). We use Meta advertising tools, which may include the Meta Pixel, Custom Audiences, and the Conversions API, to show our ads on Facebook and Instagram and to measure the results.
These technologies use cookies and similar identifiers to recognize your browser or device across different sites. Through them, an advertising platform may learn that you visited our Site or took an action here, and may combine that with its own information about you. You can limit or opt out of this. See Your Privacy Choices below.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your questions and requests.
- Provide and improve our Site and our services.
- Keep the Site secure and prevent misuse.
- Send you information you have asked for, such as replies to your inquiry.
- Measure and improve our advertising, and show ads for our business to people who may be interested.
HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only in these situations:
- Service providers who run parts of our Site and business for us, such as Squarespace (website hosting), Google (analytics), Microsoft (analytics), and our booking and payment providers. They may only use the information to perform services for us.
- Advertising partners, such as Google and Meta Platforms, that help us show and measure ads as described in Advertising and Retargeting above. Through the advertising cookies and tools on our Site, these partners may receive limited information about your visit.
- Legal reasons, if we are required to by law or need to protect our rights, our customers, or the security of the Site.
- Business transfer, if our business is sold or merged, in which case information may transfer to the new owner.
Because our advertising tools let another company receive information about your activity on our Site, some US state privacy laws treat this as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, even though we do not receive money for it. You can opt out, as described in Your Privacy Choices below.
DATA RETENTION
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law, and then delete it.
SECURITY
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information.
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES
Depending on where you live, including residents of California, Colorado, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws, you may have the right to:
- Know and access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct or delete that information.
- Opt out of targeted advertising and of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information.
We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
How to opt out of advertising and tracking:
- Use the cookie choices on our Site to decline advertising and analytics cookies, where available.
- Turn on a browser opt-out signal. Where required by law, we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. You can learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org .
- Adjust Google's advertising in your Google Ad Settings, and Meta's in your Facebook and Instagram ad preferences.
- Use the advertising-industry opt-out pages at optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org .
- Opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .
To make a rights request, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.
BROWSER SIGNALS
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common industry standard for how sites should respond, so our Site does not respond to Do Not Track signals. Where required by law, we do honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, as described in Your Privacy Choices above.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version here and change the effective date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Policy.
