This Privacy Policy explains how Alexa's Dominican Salon and Alexa's Salon Barber Shop ("we," "us") collect, use and share information when you visit alexasdominicansalon.com, contact us, book an appointment or apply for a job. We are located at 775 Port Reading Ave, Port Reading, NJ 07064.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us.
- Message form: your name, phone number, email (optional), the service you are interested in, your message and how you prefer to be contacted.
- Job applications: your name, phone, email, positions of interest, license status, experience, specialties, availability, languages, portfolio or social media link and anything you choose to tell us. We do not ask about criminal history, age, date of birth or Social Security number on our application.
- Calls, texts and WhatsApp: the information you share when you call, text or message us.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we and our partners use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, links clicked (for example "Book" or "Call"), the website that referred you and your approximate location. We use:
- Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site.
- Google Ads and the Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram) to measure our ads and to show our ads to people who may be interested in our services, including people who visited our site (this is "targeted advertising").
Appointments and payments. Online booking is handled by Square (salon) and Fresha (barbershop), and gift cards by Square. When you use those services, they collect your information under their own privacy policies. We receive the appointment details we need to serve you. We do not see or store your full card number.
2. How we use information
- To answer your questions, schedule and confirm appointments, and provide our services.
- To contact you by call, text or email about your request.
- To review job applications and contact applicants.
- To measure and improve our website and advertising.
- To keep our website secure and prevent spam or fraud.
- To comply with the law.
We will only send you marketing text messages if you have given us permission. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP at any time to stop texts.
3. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us run our business: website hosting (Cloudflare), form delivery to our email (FormSubmit), booking and payments (Square, Fresha), and messaging (WhatsApp/Meta).
- Advertising and analytics partners (Google and Meta), through the cookies and pixels described above. Under some state laws, this may be considered "targeted advertising" or "sharing." You can opt out at any time (see section 4).
- Authorities when required by law, or to protect our rights, our clients or our staff.
4. Your choices: cookies and targeted advertising
- Cookie settings: click "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page and choose "Decline." We will stop loading the Meta Pixel and will tell Google not to use your visit for ad personalization.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): if your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal data, automatically. Because there is no common standard for "Do Not Track" signals, we honor GPC instead.
- Ad settings: you can also adjust your ad preferences at Google Ad Settings and in your Facebook/Instagram ad preferences, and opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as well.
5. Your privacy rights (including New Jersey residents)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Confirm whether we process your personal data and access it.
- Correct inaccurate personal data.
- Delete your personal data.
- Get a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and profiling.
To make a request, email [email protected] or call (732) 366-2554. We may need to verify your identity. We will respond within 45 days. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision with "Appeal" in the subject line; we will respond to appeals within 45 days. If you are not satisfied, you may contact the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.
6. Photos and videos
We love to share our work. We photograph or film clients for our website, social media or ads only with their permission, and for clients under 18 only with a parent's or guardian's permission. If you appear in any photo or video we have published and want it removed, email [email protected] or call (732) 366-2554 and we will remove it from our website and social media accounts within 10 business days. Content already shared by other people may be outside our control.
7. Children
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. Appointments for minors are made by a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
