SUNSHINE MASSAGE BOUTIQUE
PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: August 1, 2026
Sunshine Massage Boutique ("Sunshine Massage Boutique," "SMB," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information entrusted to us.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you:
Our website, online booking functions, communications, and related digital services are collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as the "Services."
Please review this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Services or providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that Sunshine Massage Boutique collects or controls.
We may use third-party platforms, including appointment-booking platforms, payment processors, website hosts, email providers, text-messaging providers, analytics providers, and social-media platforms. Those third parties may separately collect, use, or control information under their own privacy policies and terms.
For example, when you use a third-party platform such as MassageBook to schedule an appointment, the platform may collect information on our behalf and may also collect certain information for its own purposes. Sunshine Massage Boutique does not control the independent privacy practices of those third parties. You should review the privacy policy of any third-party platform you use.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of websites, applications, payment services, social-media platforms, or other businesses that we do not own or control.
"Personal information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be associated with an individual or household. It does not include information that has been lawfully made public or information that has been aggregated or deidentified so that it cannot reasonably be associated with an individual.
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of personal information.
We may collect:
We may collect information concerning:
When you make a purchase, a third-party payment processor may collect your payment-card number, expiration date, security code, billing address, bank information, or other payment credentials.
Sunshine Massage Boutique may receive limited payment-related information, such as the card type, last four digits of the card, transaction amount, authorization status, or payment confirmation. We generally do not directly store complete payment-card numbers.
To provide massage or wellness services safely and appropriately, we may ask you to provide information concerning:
You should provide only information that is reasonably necessary for us to evaluate and perform the requested service.
Sunshine Massage Boutique is not representing that it is a health-care provider subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 merely because it receives wellness or intake information. Information collected by a massage or wellness business may not receive the same legal protections as information held by a physician, hospital, health plan, or other legally covered health-care entity.
We may collect information contained in communications you send to us, including:
Telephone or in-person communications may be documented in appointment or customer-service notes.
When you use our website or online Services, we or our service providers may automatically collect information such as:
When you interact with Sunshine Massage Boutique through a social-media platform, we may receive information made available by that platform, such as your profile name, username, public posts, comments, reviews, photographs, or messages.
The information available to us depends on your privacy settings and the policies of the applicable platform.
We may collect personal information:
We collect information directly from you when you:
We and our service providers may collect device and usage information automatically through cookies, pixels, web beacons, embedded scripts, log files, software-development kits, or similar technologies.
We may receive information from:
Sunshine Massage Boutique may use personal information to:
A cookie is a small data file placed on a computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when a person visits a website. Cookies can recognize a browser or device, remember preferences, support website functions, and collect information about website activity.
We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.
We or our service providers may use:
Necessary Cookies. These cookies support essential website features, security, appointment-booking functions, payment functions, and user authentication.
Preference Cookies. These cookies remember selections, settings, and preferences.
Analytics Cookies. These cookies help us understand website traffic, page usage, navigation patterns, and technical performance.
Advertising Cookies. These cookies may be used to measure advertising, limit repeated advertisements, or deliver advertising based on online activity or inferred interests.
The particular cookies used may change as our website, booking systems, and vendors change.
We may use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics or a comparable service, to understand how visitors use our website.
Analytics providers may collect information through cookies or similar technologies. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies and contractual terms.
Most browsers allow users to block, restrict, or delete cookies through browser settings. Mobile devices may also provide controls for advertising identifiers or tracking permissions.
Restricting cookies may interfere with website, booking, payment, or account functionality. Cookie preferences are generally specific to the browser and device on which they are selected.
Sunshine Massage Boutique may use advertising, analytics, social-media, or marketing technologies to:
Third-party advertising and social-media providers may collect information about activity over time and across different websites or online services.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before using nonessential tracking technologies.
When you provide your telephone number or email address, we may send communications concerning:
Where permitted by law and, when required, with your consent, we may send promotional emails or text messages concerning services, packages, gift cards, memberships, events, discounts, or special offers.
Consent to receive marketing calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing services from Sunshine Massage Boutique.
Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary.
You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying STOP or following the instructions provided in the message. You may opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the email.
After opting out, you may still receive nonpromotional communications, including appointment confirmations, receipts, security notices, or responses to requests you initiate.
We may disclose personal information in the circumstances described below.
We may provide information to vendors that perform services for us, including:
These providers may use information to perform services for us, comply with law, protect their systems, or as otherwise permitted by their own agreements and privacy policies.
We may provide information to massage therapists, employees, contractors, or other authorized personnel who need the information to:
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
We may disclose or transfer information in connection with a proposed or completed:
Any successor may continue to use information as described in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.
We may disclose information when you direct us to do so, authorize the disclosure, or intentionally use a feature that requires the information to be provided to another party.
We may use and disclose information that has been aggregated or deidentified so that it cannot reasonably be associated with you.
Sunshine Massage Boutique does not sell personal information for money in the ordinary meaning of the term "sell."
Certain privacy laws may define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly enough to include some disclosures of online identifiers to analytics, social-media, or advertising providers.
To the extent applicable law grants you a right to opt out of such activities, you may submit a request using the contact information provided below. We may need additional information to identify the browser, device, account, or information associated with your request.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors for targeted advertising.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, legal obligations, operational requirements, and whether information is needed for a dispute, investigation, or legal claim.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete it, destroy it, anonymize it, or retain it in a securely restricted form as permitted by law.
Sunshine Massage Boutique uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.
These safeguards may include access controls, password protections, secure third-party platforms, personnel limitations, software protections, and procedures for handling sensitive information.
No website, transmission method, storage system, or security measure is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized activity involving your account or information.
Depending on where you reside and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to request that we:
Privacy rights vary by jurisdiction and may not apply in every circumstance.
To submit a request, contact us using the information in Section 20. Please clearly describe your request and provide enough information for us to identify the applicable records.
We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before completing a request. Verification may require confirmation of information associated with your appointments, account, transactions, email address, or telephone number.
We may deny or limit a request when permitted or required by law, including when we cannot verify the requester, must retain information to comply with law, or need the information to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, protect legal rights, or maintain required records.
Where applicable, you may use an authorized agent to submit a request. We may require proof of the agent's authority and may independently verify your identity.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
When an appointment-booking platform allows you to maintain an account, you may be able to review or change certain account information directly through that platform.
You may also contact us to request assistance correcting Sunshine Massage Boutique's records. Changes made in our records may not automatically change information separately controlled by a third-party booking or payment provider.
Requests involving a third party's independently controlled records may need to be submitted directly to that third party.
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, booking pages, payment pages, maps, social-media platforms, reviews, or other online services.
We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, availability, or content of third-party services. A link to a third-party service does not constitute an endorsement of that service's privacy practices.
You should review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party service before providing personal information.
Our website may include social-media buttons, plug-ins, embedded content, or links.
When you interact with those features, the applicable social-media platform may collect information such as your IP address, browser information, the page visited, or your interactions with the feature. The platform may associate that information with your social-media account.
Your interactions with social-media platforms are governed by the policies of those platforms.
The Services are not directed to children under thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under thirteen.
Massage or wellness services for a minor may require the involvement, authorization, presence, or consent of a parent or legal guardian, depending on the minor's age, the requested service, applicable law, and Sunshine Massage Boutique's policies.
When a parent or legal guardian schedules a service for a minor, we may collect limited information about the minor that is reasonably necessary to evaluate, schedule, document, and provide the service.
A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization should contact us.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to all such signals.
Where required by applicable law and supported by our systems, we may recognize legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising associated with that browser or device.
Sunshine Massage Boutique is located in the United States, and information collected through the Services may be processed and stored in the United States.
If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in a country whose privacy laws may differ from those of your country.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, vendors, Services, or legal obligations.
When we make changes, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the effective date. Changes become effective when posted unless a different date is stated.
When required by law, we may provide additional notice or request consent before a material change takes effect.
Your continued use of the Services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
