Privacy Policy

Privacy Notice

This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for Patricia Nails. This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website. It will notify you of the following:

• What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the website, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
• What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
• The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
• How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We collect information you provide when contacting or buying from us and, when you allow it, the optional OpenAI measurement information described below. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We share information as necessary to fulfil your request, such as processing an order, and, only if you choose to allow it, with OpenAI for the optional advertising measurement described below.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Your Access to and Control Over Information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:

• See what data we have about you, if any.
• Change/correct any data we have about you.
• Have us delete any data we have about you.
• Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at 085 214 2951 or via Email Patricia Nails Academy

Optional OpenAI ad measurement

Updated 28 October 2026. Patricia Nails Academy uses optional OpenAI measurement to understand visits and paid purchases following our ChatGPT ads. This setting is off until you choose to allow it. Your choice applies to patricianailsacademy.com and learn.patricianailsacademy.com. You can browse and buy courses without allowing this measurement.

If you allow it, we may share an ad click reference, a browser reference, an opaque purchase reference, purchase time, value and currency with OpenAI. When you follow a link from our main website to our online course website, we may add the consented ad click reference to that link to preserve attribution. On our online course website, the OpenAI Pixel also measures page visits and paid purchases and may receive technical information associated with its browser requests, such as your IP address and browser information.

The Pixel’s automatic advanced matching can detect email, name or phone details entered into recognisable fields on our online course website. It normalises and hashes those details in your browser before sending the hashes to OpenAI for matching. Raw contact details are not sent through this automatic matching. Hashing does not make the information anonymous. Our main website’s server purchase measurement does not send names, email addresses or phone numbers to OpenAI.

We rely on your consent for this optional measurement. To change your choice on either website, use the Privacy settings link in the footer. It opens the controls in this privacy notice, where you can allow measurement or turn it off at any time. You can also change OpenAI ad measurement through the main website’s Privacy Preferences when that banner is displayed. Withdrawing consent stops future measurement and prevents queued server events that have not yet been sent. It does not undo information already transmitted before withdrawal.

Cookies and retention for this setting

The essential preference cookie pna_oac_consent remembers your choice for 180 days. The essential security cookie pna_oac_csrf lasts 30 minutes and protects changes to that choice. These cookies do not contain your name or contact details. We keep a random consent reference, the notice version, the choice and its timestamps on our server so that we can honour withdrawal. That record expires with the consent and is removed by the next scheduled cleanup.

Only after you allow measurement, pna_oac_attribution can retain the ad click reference for up to 30 days, limited by the life of your consent. The OpenAI Pixel can use __oppref for up to 30 days and __obref for up to 365 days. Turning the setting off removes these measurement cookies from the current browser where accessible. Clearing cookies or using another browser may require a new choice.

OpenAI receives this measurement information. Its processing, retention, international transfers and privacy rights are explained in OpenAI’s Europe privacy policy. For questions about our use of measurement or your privacy choices, please contact Patricia Nails Academy.
