Your data, handled with care.
How Mr Blade collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you book with us or use this website.
Who we are
This website (mrblade.mk) is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [registered address], EMBS [company number] ("Mr Blade", "we", "us"). We run two barbershops in Skopje: Cevahir Mall — Mateja Matevski 28, 1000 Skopje (Aerodrom), 070 999 825; and Diamond Mall — Jordan Mijalkov 31, 1000 Skopje (Centar), 070 350 666. We are the data controller for the data described here. For any privacy matter, contact us at [PRIVACY EMAIL] or on the numbers above.
What we collect
When you book, we collect your first and last name, phone number, email address, and your booking details (location, barber, service, date and time). If you create a customer account, we also keep your login email and booking history. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we keep your email address. When you use the site, we automatically receive technical data such as your IP address, browser type and pages viewed, via cookies and server logs.
We do not intentionally collect special categories of data, and ask that you do not send them to us.
Why we use it
We process your data to: take, confirm and manage your booking (to perform the service you request); send confirmations and reminders by email and SMS (to perform the contract and reduce no-shows); apply our cancellation policy; maintain your customer account; send our newsletter where you have opted in (consent); and keep accounting records (legal obligation). You can withdraw consent — for example, unsubscribe from the newsletter — at any time without affecting existing bookings.
Email & SMS reminders
When you book, we send a confirmation and a reminder (typically 24 hours before) to the contact details you provide. These are part of the service. To stop reminders, contact us — note that turning them off does not cancel your appointment.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate, under contract and only as needed: [HOSTING PROVIDER] (website and database hosting); [EMAIL/SMTP PROVIDER] (confirmation and reminder emails); [SMS PROVIDER] (SMS reminders); and our booking system (Amelia), which runs on our own website. We may also disclose data where required by law or to defend our legal rights.
International transfers
Your data is primarily stored and processed in North Macedonia and/or the EU/EEA. Where a provider processes data outside the EU/EEA, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place and, where required under the Law on Personal Data Protection, obtain the approval of the Agency for Personal Data Protection. [Confirm where your providers store data.]
Cookies
We use cookies to keep the site working (session, login and language-preference cookies) and, where applicable, to understand how the site is used. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent; any analytics or marketing cookies are used only with your consent. You can manage or block cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working.
How long we keep it
We keep booking and account records for as long as you remain a customer and for [e.g. 2–3 years] after your last appointment, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Accounting records are kept for the period required by Macedonian tax law. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Website logs are kept for [e.g. up to 12 months].
Your rights
Under the Law on Personal Data Protection you may access your data, correct it, have it erased, restrict or object to processing, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. Email [PRIVACY EMAIL] to exercise any right; we respond within 30 days (up to 60 for complex requests). You may also complain to the Agency for Personal Data Protection (Агенција за заштита на личните податоци), Skopje — azlp.mk.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — secure hosting, encrypted connections and access controls — to protect your data. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to your rights, we notify the Agency within 72 hours and you where required by law.
Children
Our services and website are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from children; a booking for a minor should be made by a parent or guardian.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version, with its "last updated" date, is always shown on this page.
