Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how SalonWop ("SalonWop", "we", "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal data when you visit our website, create an account, or manage organizations, staff, and clients through the SalonWop platform.
SalonWop is operated from Mexico City, Mexico, and supports customers globally. For customers subject to Mexican private-sector privacy law, the responsible party for the data covered by this notice is OSCAR DANIEL GUTIERREZ GILETA. If you need to submit an ARCO request or another formal privacy matter, contact us at legal@salonwop.com.
When you upload or manage information about your staff, contractors, or clients, you act as the data controller for that content. SalonWop processes the information on your instructions and, as permitted by laws such as the Mexican Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data (LFPDPPP), the GDPR, and other applicable data protection legislation, acts as a processor or encargado for that data.
By using the Service you confirm that you have obtained the necessary authorizations or consents to share personal data with us.

- Full name, email address, phone number, preferred language, time zone, profile image, and unique authentication identifier.
- Authentication metadata managed by our authentication provider, such as hashed credentials, multi-factor authentication methods, and session tokens.

You are responsible for ensuring that the personal data you collect from clients or staff complies with applicable laws and that you limit sensitive data to what is strictly necessary.
Some data that organizations may choose to store in SalonWop, including health information, allergies, contraindications, medical records, disability-related notes, biometric signatures, or copies of official identification, may be considered sensitive personal data under Mexican law or other applicable laws. You must only upload that data when it is strictly necessary and after obtaining any express consent or other authorization required by law.
1.4 Lead and commercial data
When you use commercial mode or lead-capture features, we collect and process:
- Lead contact information: name, email, phone number, and company name captured through automated bot conversations.
- Qualification data: responses to BANT (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline) or custom qualification frameworks, including individual scores and overall qualification tier (hot, warm, cold, unqualified).
- Custom question responses: answers to organization-defined questions (open-ended or multiple choice), with associated scoring data.
- Lead scoring metrics: composite scores based on qualification responses, engagement activity, and contact data quality.
- Lead lifecycle status, stage history, and temperature: transitions between new lead, conversing, interested, in payment, client, and lost stages, plus separate cold, warm, and hot temperature signals, with timestamps and attribution.
- Order and cart data: product selections, quantities, prices, and notes captured during commercial conversations.
- Flow execution data: bot flow progression, captured variables, and completion status.
- Source attribution: platform (WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, voice), campaign identifiers, and session references.
1.5 Booking, sales, and payment records

Sensitive payment card information is collected and stored directly by Stripe. SalonWop only receives tokens, status updates, and the last four digits of cards where applicable. For organizations using Stripe Connect, SalonWop applies a platform application fee (default 1%) which is calculated and disclosed at checkout.
1.6 Communications, messaging, and support
- Messages exchanged through WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram DM integrations, including text content, media files (images, videos, documents, audio), captions, and delivery status.

1.7 Voice and audio data
When you enable voice features, we collect and process:
- Voice call recordings and transcripts from AI-powered voice assistants, including caller phone numbers, call duration, and timestamps.
- AI-generated call analysis: conversation summaries, caller sentiment (positive, negative, neutral), call success indicators, and voicemail detection.
- Voice messages received through WhatsApp, Messenger, or Instagram, which are transcribed using third-party speech recognition services and stored alongside the original audio file.
- Real-time speech-to-text transcripts processed during voice calls.

- Generated outputs retained to provide conversation history and quality controls.
- Business context shared with AI models to generate responses: service catalogs, staff availability, pricing, and business policies.
AI processing is facilitated through third-party AI model providers. We do not use your prompts or outputs to train our own foundation models. Our AI providers have confirmed that data sent to their APIs is not used to train or improve their foundation models.

- Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram): page views and registration conversion events on public pages and selected account creation or sign-in flows used for campaign attribution.
- TikTok Pixel: page views and registration events on public pages and selected account creation or sign-in flows used for campaign attribution.
We do not intentionally load Meta Pixel or TikTok Pixel inside the authenticated dashboard or admin areas. Each provider processes data according to its own privacy policy. You can manage these technologies through your browser settings, any consent controls we may make available on the relevant page, and the provider-specific opt-out tools described in our Cookie Policy.

3. Legal Bases for Processing
Where a jurisdiction requires us to identify legal grounds for processing, our activities are supported by different bases depending on the context:
- Performance of a contract: when we provide the Service to you or process data under your instructions.

- Consent: for optional communications, beta programs, AI features, voice recording, advertising tracking, and for any data you collect that requires explicit authorization.
- Legal obligations: to comply with tax, financial reporting, or regulatory requirements.
Where we rely on consent you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
4. Sharing and Disclosures
We do not sell personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:
We require our subprocessors to implement safeguards consistent with our own and to process personal data only according to our documented instructions. Disclosures to subprocessors that help us operate the Service are generally made under processing agreements. Separate transfers to your configured users, third-party integrations, advisors, buyers in a transaction, or authorities may be treated differently under applicable law. A current list of subprocessors is available upon request at legal@salonwop.com.

5. International Data Transfers
SalonWop stores and processes data using infrastructure located in Mexico, the United States, and other jurisdictions where our providers operate. When personal data is transferred outside of its country of origin we rely on mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses, intra-company agreements, or equivalent safeguards to protect the information.
Our primary infrastructure providers are located in the United States. Messaging platform integrations (WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram) route data through Meta's global infrastructure. AI processing may involve servers in multiple jurisdictions.
Where Mexican law applies, and a transfer of personal data requires consent because it is not covered by a legal exception or necessary to provide the contracted service, we will request that consent directly or rely on your documented instructions if your organization is the controller for that data.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, and to resolve disputes.
- Account and organization data: retained for the life of the account and up to 24 months after closure, unless you request earlier deletion.
- Booking, ticket, inventory, and sales records: retained until you delete them or instruct us otherwise, and up to five (5) years to support regulatory and accounting obligations.
- Invoices, payment records, and tax documents: retained for at least ten (10) years or as required by local tax authorities.
- Lead and qualification data: retained until you delete the lead or instruct us otherwise. Lead stage history is retained for audit purposes.
- Bot conversation sessions: retained for the life of the conversation and until the associated client or lead record is deleted.
- Messaging data (WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram): messages and media files retained until you delete them or the associated conversation is removed.
- Voice call recordings and transcripts: call metadata and transcripts stored in our database are retained until the conversation is deleted. Recording URLs from our voice processing provider are temporary and expire according to the provider's retention policies.
- Voice message audio files: stored on our cloud infrastructure until the associated message or conversation is deleted.
- Support interactions and diagnostics: retained for up to 24 months after the ticket is resolved.

- Backups and security logs: retained for approximately 90 days, extendable to 180 days for investigations or disaster recovery.
We may retain anonymized or aggregated data that no longer identifies an individual for analytics, benchmarking, or business planning.
7. Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data, including:
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS for all connections, WSS for WebSocket communications).
- Encryption of sensitive credentials: messaging platform access tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before database storage.
- Separation of environments and role-based access controls.
- Organization-level data isolation: all database queries are scoped to the authenticated organization.
- Automatic PII sanitization in logs: passwords, tokens, emails, names, phone numbers, and financial data are redacted before transmission to monitoring services.
- IP address removal from error tracking data.
- Webhook signature verification (HMAC SHA-256) for all inbound webhooks from payment processors, authentication providers, and messaging platforms.
- Message deduplication to prevent duplicate processing from webhook retries.
- File upload validation: MIME type verification, file size limits, filename sanitization, and path traversal prevention.
- Auditing and endpoint protection with limited employee access.
Despite our efforts, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for choosing appropriate custom fields, managing user permissions, and ensuring that data exported from SalonWop is stored securely.

Certain integrations may set their own cookies subject to their respective policies.
10. Meta Platform Data Practices
SalonWop integrates with Meta platforms (WhatsApp Business API, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram) to provide automated messaging and team inbox features. The following practices apply specifically to data obtained through these integrations:

- Data obtained from Meta platform APIs is not used for advertising purposes, sold to third parties, or shared with data brokers.
- Profile information (names, usernames) retrieved from Meta APIs is cached for display purposes only and is not used for profiling or marketing.
- Profile pictures from Instagram and Messenger are displayed using temporary Meta-hosted URLs and are not downloaded or stored on our infrastructure.
- Access tokens for Meta platform integrations are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) at rest.
- You may disconnect any Meta platform integration at any time from your dashboard settings, which will stop all data exchange with that platform.
- We comply with Meta Platform Terms and applicable data use policies.
11. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 16 years old, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe that a minor has provided personal data to us, contact hello@salonwop.com so we can remove it.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes we will notify you by email or through the Service and update the "Last updated" date above.
