Last Updated: 02/02/26

 

Welcome to The Skinergist (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We value your trust and are committed to protecting your personal information. 

 

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, theskinergist.co, and any related subpages (the “Website”).

 

By accessing or using our Website, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

 

1. Purpose of This Policy

This Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you:

  • Visit or browse our Website

  • Book appointments or consultations

  • Submit forms or inquiries

  • Engage with chat or messaging features

  • Subscribe to email or SMS updates

  • Interact with our content or ads on third‑party platforms

  • Communicate with us through social media, Google Business Profile, or other online channels

 

We treat your information as private and confidential even when you contact us through social media platforms or our Google Business Profile. 

 

Any personal details you share through those channels are handled with the same level of care as information collected directly through our Website.

 

This Policy does not apply to information collected offline or through third‑party websites or apps.

 

2. Age Requirements

Our services and Website are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.

 

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16. If you are under 18, you may only use our Website or book services with the express consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

For security purposes, our payment processors only provide us with limited, non‑sensitive billing details, such as the last four digits of your card, the card type, and the expiration date. This allows us to verify transactions and assist with billing questions without ever viewing or handling your complete payment information.

You may withdraw consent for future use at any time by contacting us. We will discontinue using your media in new materials and remove it from active marketing where feasible.
