Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 26, 2026
Slot is an online booking system for salons and appointment-based businesses. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.
1. Information we collect
When a customer books an appointment through Slot, we may collect:
- Name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Selected service
- Selected date and time
- Optional message or booking note
For business owners, we may collect:
- Business name
- Owner name
- Business email
- Notification email
- Public business information such as phone, address, working hours and social links
- Service descriptions, prices and photos
- The email address of the connected Google account
When a business owner signs in to the owner panel, we send a one-time code to their email. We store the email, a hashed version of the code and the IP address of the request (to limit repeated attempts), and for the session the browser's user agent. Codes are valid for 10 minutes and sessions for 30 days.
When someone sends an inquiry through the contact form on our website, we receive the name, email, optional phone number and message they enter.
2. Google Calendar integration
Slot uses Google Calendar integration so that appointments can be checked against the business calendar and added to the connected calendar after a successful booking.
With the business owner's permission, Slot may access Google Calendar data only for the following purposes:
- Checking calendar availability
- Creating appointment events
- Adding booking details to calendar events
- Removing an appointment event when the booking is cancelled
Slot does not use Google Calendar data for advertising, profiling, or selling user data. Slot does not share Google Calendar data with third parties except as necessary to provide the booking service.
Slot's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
3. How we use information
We use collected information to:
- Create and manage bookings
- Show available appointment times
- Add appointments to the connected Google Calendar
- Send booking confirmation, reminder and cancellation emails
- Let business owners sign in and update their booking page
- Answer inquiries sent through our contact form
- Help the business manage its schedule
- Improve and maintain the Slot service
4. Email notifications
Slot may send email notifications to customers and business owners about bookings, confirmations, reminders, cancellations and appointment details, as well as sign-in codes for the owner panel.
5. Data storage
Slot stores business and booking-related data using trusted cloud service providers. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we process.
6. Data sharing
We do not sell personal data. We share limited data with service providers only when needed to operate Slot: Supabase (database and photo storage), Netlify (website hosting), Resend (email delivery), Web3Forms (contact form) and Google (calendar integration).
7. Data retention and deletion
We keep business and booking data while the business uses Slot, and only as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations and resolve issues.
When a business stops using Slot, we delete:
- Its booking page, services, prices, photos and working hours
- All of its bookings, including customers' names, phone numbers and emails
- The owner's sign-in codes and sessions
- The stored Google access, and we revoke Slot's access to the connected Google account
We do not keep a copy of this data. Appointment events already created in the business's own Google Calendar stay there, as they belong to the business.
8. Revoking Google access
Business owners can revoke Slot's access to their Google account at any time from their Google Account permissions page. If access is revoked, Slot may no longer be able to check availability or create calendar events. Access is also revoked automatically when the business is deleted from Slot.
9. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data. To make a request, please contact us using the email below.
