Last updated: September 1, 2026

This notice explains how Ipanema Beauty Bar, located at 190 Donahue St, Suite 25, Sausalito, CA 94965, handles personal information collected through this website, WhatsApp, appointment requests and salon interactions.

Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect identifiers and contact details; appointment and service preferences; messages, audio and other content you choose to send; device, browser, cookie and website-usage data; and payment or transaction records handled by the applicable payment provider.

If you voluntarily submit hair or scalp photos or describe a concern, that content may reveal sensitive information. Please send only what is necessary. Our salon services and virtual concierge do not provide medical diagnosis.

Why we use it

We use information to answer questions, recommend appropriate salon services, schedule and deliver services, maintain records, secure and improve the website, comply with law, and send marketing only where permitted or consented to.

ClaudIA is an AI-assisted virtual concierge. Messages may be processed by technology providers solely to operate the requested interaction, subject to our vendor controls and applicable agreements.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

Essential technologies support security and basic operation. Optional analytics or advertising technologies are activated according to the choices presented in the cookie controls. Ipanema does not exchange personal information for monetary payment through this website. Certain analytics or advertising activity may qualify as “sharing” under California law depending on the technology and configuration.

When information is disclosed

We may disclose information to hosting, communications, scheduling, analytics, payment, security and professional-service providers that support our operations; to authorities when legally required; or in connection with a lawful business transaction. Providers receive only the information reasonably needed for their role.

Retention and security

We retain each category only as long as reasonably necessary for the disclosed purpose, legal obligations, dispute resolution and security. We use administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information, but no internet transmission is risk-free.

California privacy rights

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies, California residents may request access to or correction or deletion of covered information, learn about its collection and disclosure, opt out of covered sale or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and exercise those rights without unlawful discrimination. Some exceptions apply. Even when the statute’s business thresholds do not apply, we will review reasonable privacy requests in good faith.

To submit a request, call +1 (415) 980-9663 or write to Ipanema Beauty Bar, 190 Donahue St, Suite 25, Sausalito, CA 94965. We may verify identity before completing a request. An authorized agent may act where permitted by law.

Children and external services

This website is not directed to children under 13. Links to WhatsApp, booking, payment or social platforms are governed by those providers’ own notices.
