Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Applies to: the nailfair.com website and the Nailfair mobile app (iOS & Android)

Effective date: June 10, 2026 — Last updated: June 10, 2026

1. Introduction

Nailfair (“Nailfair”, “we”, “us”) is a nail-industry marketplace that connects nail technicians, salon owners, suppliers, manufacturers, brands and service providers across the United States — with job listings, professional profiles, a business directory, classifieds, events and more. This policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect your information when you use our website or mobile app (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

2.1. Information you provide directly

  • Account: name, email, password (encrypted), phone number (if provided).
  • Profile: avatar, bio, region, specialties/role.
  • Content you post: classifieds, listings (salons, suppliers, jobs, events and other listings), images, descriptions, prices, addresses, and comments, reviews and ratings.
  • Communications: the content of messages when you contact support or communicate through the platform.

2.2. Payment information

When you purchase a paid plan (Premium, Professional), your card and payment details are processed directly by our third-party provider Stripe. We do not store full card numbers. We only keep the transaction information we need (plan purchased, date, status, and the last 4 digits of the card if applicable).

2.3. Location information

To provide “Nearby” features, we may collect your precise or approximate location — only when you grant permission. You can turn off location permission at any time in your device settings.

2.4. Mobile app permissions (always with your consent)

  • Camera & Photo Library: to take or upload photos for your listings and profile.
  • Location: for search by area.
  • Notifications: updates about listings, messages and events.

2.5. Information collected automatically

  • Device data: device type, operating system, device identifiers, language.
  • Usage data: the screens you view, your actions, and access times.
  • IP address, logs and crash logs to fix errors.
  • Cookies and similar technologies (on the website) — see section 9.

3. How we use information

  • Create and manage your account and authenticate sign-in (including two-factor authentication — 2FA).
  • Display, operate and rank listings, profiles and reviews.
  • Process payments for paid plans and manage listing durations.
  • Provide location-based and search features.
  • Send service notifications, security notices and (with your consent) marketing messages.
  • Detect fraud, abuse and spam and keep the community safe.
  • Improve and analyze the Service and comply with legal obligations.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it in the following cases:

  • Publicly on the platform: content you choose to post (classifieds, listings, public profiles, reviews) is visible to other users and the public. Do not post sensitive information you do not want others to see.
  • Service providers: hosting, payment processing (Stripe), email delivery, analytics and maps — only to the extent needed to operate the Service.
  • Legal requests: when required by a lawful request from a competent authority, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Nailfair and its users.
  • Business transfers: in the event of a merger, acquisition or transfer of assets.

5. Third-party services

The Service may integrate third-party tools (maps, analytics, payments). Your use of those services may be governed by their own privacy policies. We recommend that you read them.

6. Data retention

We keep your information while your account is active and for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with the law, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. When you delete your account, your personal data is deleted or anonymized, except where the law requires us to retain it (for example, financial transaction records).

7. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures: password encryption, encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS), and optional two-factor authentication (2FA). However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

8. Your rights & how to control your data

You can do the following directly in your account:

  • Access / download data: use “Download personal data” to request a copy of all your personal data.
  • Edit: update your profile, email and password at any time.
  • Delete account & data: use “Delete account” under Account → Privacy. This permanently deletes your account and all related data and cannot be undone.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): the right to know what data is collected, to request deletion, to correct your data, not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of data (we do not sell your data).

EU/EEA residents (where applicable): rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability under the GDPR.

To exercise these rights, you may also contact info@nailfair.com.

9. Cookies (website)

The website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and analyze traffic. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work if you disable essential cookies.

10. Children’s privacy

The Service is not intended for anyone under 13 (or the minimum age required where you live). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we discover that we have, we will delete it promptly.

11. International data transfers

Nailfair serves the nail industry in the United States and may be operated and hosted in multiple countries. When you use the Service, your data may be processed in a country other than where you reside.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The new version will be posted on this page with an updated date. If there are material changes, we will notify you through the Service or by email.
