Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we use it. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it.

Last updated: May 7, 2026

Summary: YASCuts collects the information needed to operate a barbershop booking platform. We do not sell your data. We use industry-standard security practices. You have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data at any time.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register on YASCuts, we collect your first and last name, email, phone number, and preferred language. Salon owners also provide business data such as salon name, address, and service information.

Booking Data

We store details of bookings you make — including the salon, barber, services, date, time, and payment method (cash, KNET, or card). We do not store full card numbers. Payments are processed by third-party providers according to their security protocols.

Usage Information

We collect anonymized information about how you interact with YASCuts — the pages you visit, search queries, and feature usage. This data helps us improve the platform and cannot be used to identify you directly.

Reviews and Content

Any reviews, comments, or replies you post are stored and displayed publicly on the platform. Please do not include sensitive personal information in review text.

How We Use Your Information

To Provide the Service

Your information is used to authenticate your account, process bookings, send booking confirmations and reminders, and enable communication between customers and salons.

To Improve YASCuts

Aggregated and anonymized usage data helps us understand which features are most valuable and where improvement is needed. We use this data to prioritize product development.

To Communicate with You

We may send you transactional emails (booking confirmations, password resets) and, with your consent, promotional messages about new features or offers or nearby salons. You can unsubscribe at any time.

For Safety and Compliance

We may use your information to detect fraud, investigate reported content, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with applicable Kuwaiti law.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

With Salon Partners

When you make a booking, we share your name and phone number with the relevant salon to enable them to manage the appointment. Salon owners are contractually required not to use this data beyond fulfilling the booking.

With Service Providers

We work with select third-party providers for services such as email, analytics, and cloud hosting. These providers process your data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information to government authorities or law enforcement if required by Kuwaiti law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.

We Will Not Sell Your Data

YASCuts does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security

Technical Measures

All data transmitted between your device and YASCuts is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS). Passwords are stored as secure one-way hashes using bcrypt — we never store passwords in plain text.

Access Controls

Access to personal data is restricted to YASCuts employees and contractors who need it to perform their duties. All employees with access undergo privacy training.

Breach Notification

In the event of a breach that may impact your rights, we will notify you by email and take all reasonable steps to mitigate harm.

Your Rights

Access and Portability

You have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. Submit requests to privacy@yascuts.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Correction

You can update most of your personal information directly in account settings. For other corrections, contact our support team.

Deletion

You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data. We will comply within 30 days, while retaining records required by law.

Objection to Processing

You can object to certain types of processing such as direct marketing. All promotional messages include an unsubscribe link.

Cookies and Tracking

Essential Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your login session and remember your language preference. These are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be disabled.

With your consent, we use analytics tools to understand how users interact with YASCuts. This data is aggregated and only used to improve the service.

Managing Cookies

You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to book appointments.
