Effective November 11, 2026. Bella Beauty School ("Bella", "we") operates bellabeautyschool.com and the student services behind it. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it.
Information we collect
- Information you give us: name, phone number, email, program interest and messages you send when you request information, apply, book a clinic appointment, chat with our website assistant, or enroll.
- Student records: enrollment details, attendance hours, tuition payment schedules and payment history for enrolled students.
- Payment information: card payments are processed by Square; we receive confirmation of payment and the last four digits only. We never store full card numbers.
- Automatic information: standard web server logs and, if enabled, analytics or advertising cookies that record pages visited.
How we use it

- To schedule, confirm and remind you of clinic appointments.
- To manage enrollment, attendance and tuition accounts, including payment reminders and receipts.
- To send text messages when you have opted in (see our SMS Terms).
- To operate our website chat assistant, which answers questions about our programs; conversations are stored so our admissions team can follow up.
- To comply with state licensing and record-keeping requirements.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf (payment processing, text and email delivery, website hosting), with regulators when required by law, and with your consent. Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.
Your choices

- Unsubscribe links appear in non-transactional emails.
- You may request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us; some student records must be retained by law.

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored on access-controlled systems. Student records are retained as required by the South Carolina Board of Cosmetology and other applicable rules; inquiry and booking records are retained as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above.
