Privacy Policy

Who we are

Bedford Barber Co is a barbershop located at 20C Miller Road, Bedford, MK42 9NZ, owned and operated by Omar. This website is bedfordbarber.co.uk.

If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at: 07429 153 339.

What data we collect

This website does not collect personal data directly. We do not have sign-up forms, contact forms, or an email marketing list.

If you book an appointment, you do so via Booksy — a third-party booking platform. Any data you provide during booking (name, phone, email) is held by Booksy under their own privacy policy.

Cookies

We remember your cookie choice in your browser's localStorage under bbc_cookie_consent. It contains only your accept/decline choice, is never sent to a server, and stays until you clear your browser data.

If you click Accept, we load Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager), which sets cookies to measure how the site is used, including whether you have visited before. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

If you don't accept, no analytics cookies are set and nothing is stored on your device. We still count page visits: your browser tells our server which page you viewed, the page you came from and the page title, and our server passes that to Google Analytics along with your approximate location (country and city). To tell visits apart, our server creates a one-way scrambled code from your IP address and browser type. The code changes every day, so we cannot recognise you on later visits, and your IP address itself is never stored or sent to Google. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in knowing how many people use the site.

Third-party services

This site uses the following external services:

• Google Analytics — visitor statistics, as described under Cookies above. Google's privacy policy applies to the data it receives.
• Booksy — our booking platform. Linked from this site. Booksy's privacy policy applies when you interact with their service.
• Sanity CDN — images on this site are served from Sanity's content delivery network (cdn.sanity.io). No personal data is passed to Sanity.
• Vercel — hosts this website. Like any web host, Vercel processes your IP address to deliver pages to you. Fonts are served from our own site, not from Google.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. As we hold no personal data directly, any such request regarding booking data should be directed to Booksy.

To withdraw cookie consent, clear your browser's local storage or click "Decline" the next time the banner appears (clear bbc_cookie_consent from localStorage to reset).

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. The date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
