How NY Styles Barbershop handles your information, and what we do with your mobile number.

Who this covers

This policy covers NY Styles Barbershop, 2215 NY-112 D, Medford, NY 11763, and the website at nystylesbarbershop.com. Questions? Call (631) 654-0605 or email nystylesbarbershop@gmail.com.

What we collect

• Your name and mobile number, given when you book, create an account, join the walk-in queue on our in-shop tablet, or hand them to a barber at the front desk.
• Your email address. It is optional when you book as a guest or at the desk, and needed to create an account so you can sign in.
• Whether you agreed to texts, and when and where you agreed.
• Your appointments: what you had done, which barber, when, what it cost, and any notes your barber keeps about how you like your hair cut.
• Basic website information such as the pages you opened, so we can keep the site working.

How we use it

To book and run your appointments, to send you the messages described below, to have your history ready when you come back, and to keep our own books. We do not build profiles for anyone else and we do not buy information about you from anyone.

SMS and text messages

Giving us your mobile number does not sign you up for texts. We only text you if you tick the box that says yes. If you do, NY Styles Barbershop sends you text messages about your own appointments: booking confirmations, reminders beforehand, notice if a time changes or is cancelled, your receipt, and a short request to rate your visit. If you join the walk-in queue in the shop, we text you when your chair is ready.

The box starts unticked and reads: “Text me about my appointments at NY Styles Barbershop: booking confirmations, reminders, changes and receipts. Msg frequency varies, about 2 to 6 per visit. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of booking.” At the front desk our staff read you a short version of the same wording and only record a yes if you give one. Full details of every opt-in path are on our Text messages page.

Expect roughly two to six messages per visit. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Reply STOP to any message and the texts stop. Reply HELP for our phone number. You can also switch texts off yourself in your account on this site. Turning texts off never affects your booking, and we will still email you.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your mobile number is used by NY Styles Barbershop for your appointments and nowhere else.

Reviews and photos

If you rate a visit, your star rating, your words and your first name with last initial can appear on our site after the shop checks them. Our barbers may post photos of their haircuts on the site. To report a review, use the Report link under it or email info@nystylesbarbershop.com.

The NY Styles app

The NY Styles phone app shows this same website, so everything on this page applies to it too. If you allow notifications, the app stores a notification address for your phone on your account so we can send your booking alerts; turning notifications off in your phone's settings stops them. You can add a photo from your camera or photo library to a message to the shop (for example, the cut you want); staff can add photos of their work, and use the microphone to answer shop calls in the app. Each is used only when you tap the button for it, and your phone asks your permission first. The app does not track you across other apps or websites and shows no ads.

Phone calls

When you call the shop, an automated assistant may answer to book, move or cancel a visit or to pass you to the shop. What you say is turned into text so the assistant can understand it, and a written record of the call is kept with your booking so the shop can see what was arranged. It is used for nothing else.

How long we keep it

Your account, messages, photos and reviews stay until you delete your account; deleting it removes them along with your notifications and waitlist spots. Written records of phone calls are kept for up to 12 months. Records of completed or paid visits (date, service, price and payment) are kept for up to 7 years because tax law requires the shop to keep its sales records; after you delete your account they carry no name, number, email, notes or photos.

Who else sees your information

Only the shop. A few service providers handle your details on our behalf, solely to run the site and deliver our messages, and are not permitted to use them for anything else: Google Firebase (website, accounts and notifications), Twilio (text messages and phone calls), EmailJS (emails), Square (card payments) and Anthropic (the automated phone assistant). If you pay by card, your card details go straight to Square and never touch this website. We never sell your information.

Marketing

We send offers and news only if you tick the box asking for them, separately from your booking messages. You can untick it at any time in your account.

Changing or deleting your information

Open your account in the app or on this site to change your name, number, email or notes, or to switch messages off. To delete your account, tap Account, then Delete my account; it is removed right away. You can also call (631) 654-0605 or email nystylesbarbershop@gmail.com and we will remove it within 7 days. Full details: Delete your account. We keep only past paid-visit records that tax law requires.

Children

We cut children's hair, but accounts and text messages are for the parent or guardian, not the child.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update this page. Last updated 2026-10-08.
