Salons and spas collect client contact information, service preferences, health and allergy information relevant to treatments, and payment details. Some treatments require detailed health intake forms — allergy history, medications, skin conditions — which constitute sensitive health data. Appointment booking systems typically involve third-party platforms with their own data practices. Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate how organizations with annual turnover over AUD $3 million collect, use, and disclose personal information.

Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate how organizations with annual turnover over AUD $3 million collect, use, and disclose personal information. The OAIC (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) enforces the law and can issue fines up to AUD $50 million for serious and repeated breaches.
A Refund Policy for Salon / Spa businesses must specifically address the following considerations that are unique to this industry. Unlike generic templates, your policy needs to reflect how salon / spa businesses actually collect and process data.
Data typically collected by Salon / Spa businesses: client name and contact info, appointment history, treatment preferences, health and allergy information, before/after photos (with consent), payment information
Under Australian Privacy Act, consumer protection laws may require you to disclose your refund terms clearly before purchase. Even where not strictly required, a transparent Refund Policy reduces chargebacks, builds customer trust, and protects you from disputes.
A Refund Policy for Salon / Spa should specify: the refund window, eligible and non-eligible items, the process for requesting a refund, how refunds are processed, and any restocking fees. For digital products, be explicit about access-based non-refundability.
Under Australian Privacy Act, digital products can be non-refundable once they have been accessed or downloaded, provided users were clearly informed of this before purchase. You must obtain explicit consent acknowledging the non-refundability of digital goods.
