1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how OP Cosmetology, operated by Olga Petlitskaya (collectively, “OP Cosmetology,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), handles personal information associated with opcosmetology.com and direct communications about our esthetic services and training programs.
This policy applies to website visitors and people who contact us. It does not govern third-party websites or services that have their own privacy policies.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following information:
- Contact and inquiry details: your name, email address, telephone number, preferred contact method, and the contents of messages you send by email, phone, or text.
- Service information: appointment or training interests, scheduling preferences, and information you voluntarily provide so we can understand your request.
- Technical information: standard hosting and security logs may include an IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, referring URL, and timestamps.
The current website does not provide active public account registration, online payment, media upload, or online appointment-submission forms. If those features are introduced, we will update this policy and provide any required notice at collection.
Please do not send highly sensitive medical, financial, or identity information by ordinary email or text. Website content and communications are not emergency medical services.
3. How We Use Information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to treatment, training, appointment, and general inquiries;
- communicate about availability, requested services, and next steps;
- operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the website;
- prevent misuse, fraud, or security incidents;
- maintain appropriate business and communication records; and
- comply with applicable law and protect legal rights.
We do not use personal information for materially different purposes without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent when required.
5. How We Disclose Information
We may disclose information only as reasonably necessary to:
- service providers supporting website hosting, email, communications, information technology, security, or professional services;
- comply with law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or protect safety and legal rights; and
- complete a business reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards.
We do not sell or rent personal information. As of the date of this policy, we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, protecting the website, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or accounting obligations. Retention depends on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it. Limited copies may remain temporarily in backups or be retained when required by law, security, fraud-prevention, or record-preservation obligations.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. Safeguards may include encrypted connections, access controls, secure credential handling, software maintenance, and security monitoring appropriate to the services in use.
No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please use care when deciding what information to send electronically.
8. California Privacy Rights
California residents may have rights under applicable privacy law. Depending on the law and whether it applies to our business, those rights may include requesting access to or correction or deletion of personal information, learning how information is used and disclosed, obtaining a portable copy, and opting out of certain sales or sharing. We will not discriminate against a person for exercising an applicable privacy right.
To submit a privacy request, use the methods on our Contact page. We may need to verify your identity and the scope of your request. An authorized agent may be required to provide proof of authority. Some requests are subject to legal exceptions.
9. Children’s Privacy
The website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and, when appropriate, delete it.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
Email, telephone, text-message, hosting, and linked third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy practices. Clicking an email or telephone link may open a third-party application on your device. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of services you choose to use.
11. International Visitors
OP Cosmetology is based in Los Angeles, California. If you access the website from outside the United States, information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location.
