Taz Beauty Limited and Tazbeauty.com Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 21, 2025
Taz Beauty Limited ("we," "us," or "our"), which owns the Tazbeauty.com and beautyfi.co.nz websites, is the data controller of your personal data. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our hair care, hair styling, makeup, and photoshoot services through Tazbeauty.com and our affiliated brand, Beautyfi.co.nz.
1. Information We Collect
When you engage with Taz Beauty, we collect personal information in two ways:
Information You Provide: We collect personal data you provide to us directly, such as your name, phone number, email address, mailing address, and payment information, when you register, book a service, or fill out a form. We also collect any information you share with us during consultations related to your hair care, styling preferences, makeup needs, or photoshoot requirements. This may include health-related information, such as allergies or skin conditions, which is held solely for your care, health, and safety during future services.
Automatically Collected Information (Device Information): When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with the site. This includes your IP address, web browser type, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. We also collect information about the individual web pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you to our site, and how you navigate the site.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your personal information is used for the following purposes:
To provide and personalize the hair care, styling, makeup, and photoshoot services you request and to fulfill any agreements we have with you.
To manage your appointments and consultations efficiently.
To communicate with you about your bookings, updates, and service information.
To send you marketing communications, including offers and promotions related to services and products provided by Taz Beauty Limited and its affiliated brand, Beautyfi.co.nz.
To improve and tailor our services and website based on your preferences and feedback. We use the automatically collected Device Information for statistical analysis to improve our website and identify potential cases of abuse.
To comply with legal obligations, such as record-keeping requirements for the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) in New Zealand.
3. Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to improve site functionality, analyze website usage, and customize your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect some features of our websites.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. Your information may be shared with our affiliate, Beautyfi.co.nz, solely for marketing purposes, as described above. We may disclose your information if required by law or to protect our rights.
Consultation Information: Health-related information disclosed during consultations is held in our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software (HubSpot). This specific information is not shared with any other organization or entity unless disclosure is legally required.
5. Data Security and Storage
We secure the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We use HubSpot for our CRM, and your data is stored in their cloud, which applies its own robust security protocols. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal data in our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information as long as you remain a repeat customer. We define a "repeat customer" as a client for whom we have provided a service at least once in the past seven years. This seven-year period is a requirement of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) for business record-keeping in New Zealand. After a client has not received a service for seven consecutive years, we will no longer keep their records.
7. Your Rights
You have specific rights regarding your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@tazbeauty.com.
Your New Zealand Privacy Rights: Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to access and request the correction of your personal information. You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal information where applicable and to opt-out of marketing communications. If you believe your privacy rights have been breached, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Your European Privacy Rights: If you are a resident of the European Union, you have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to be informed, the right to access, rectification, erasure, and to object to or restrict processing. We process your data to fulfill contracts with you or to pursue our legitimate business interests. Please note that if you are a European resident, your information may be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each website that may collect personal information.
9. Legal Disclosure
We will disclose any information we collect if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or a similar legal process. We may also disclose information when we believe, in good faith, that it is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, to investigate fraud, or to respond to a government request.
