This Privacy Policy describes how Eastern Massage Spa ("Eastern Massage Spa," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our website, contact us, book services, or receive massage therapy services.

- Communications, including phone calls, voicemails, text messages, emails, and appointment-related correspondence.

4. Consumer Health Data and Sensitive Information
Because massage therapy may involve information about your body, pain, injuries, pregnancy status, or other wellness conditions, we may collect information that could be considered health-related or sensitive under applicable law. We collect that information only as reasonably necessary to book appointments, determine whether a service is appropriate, and provide massage services safely.
We do not sell personal information or consumer health data. We do not use health-related information for targeted advertising from this website.
5. Text Messages and Calls
If you provide a phone number, you consent to receive appointment-related calls and texts from us, including booking confirmations, reminders, rescheduling notices, and responses to your inquiries. Marketing or promotional text messages, if any, are handled only in accordance with applicable consent requirements, and you may opt out of non-essential texts at any time by telling us to stop.
6. Disclosure of Information
We may disclose information to:
- Booking, scheduling, payment, communication, hosting, and map providers that help operate the business.
- Professional advisors, insurers, or service providers where reasonably necessary for business operations or claims handling.
- Government authorities or other parties when required by law, court order, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
7. Retention and Security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including appointment history, legal compliance, dispute resolution, recordkeeping, and business operations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain. No method of transmission or storage is guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information we maintain. If Washington's consumer health privacy laws apply to particular information, you may also have rights to withdraw consent for certain collection or sharing practices, request deletion, or appeal a denial of your request.
To make a privacy request, call us at (206) 750-6868 or write to us at 160 NW Gilman Blvd Ste 216, Issaquah, WA 98027. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your request before acting on it.
If we deny a request, you may appeal that decision by contacting us again through the same phone or mailing address and clearly stating that you are submitting an appeal.
9. Third-Party Services and External Sites
Our website links to third-party services, including Fresha and Google Maps. Those third parties operate under their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their separate privacy practices. You should review their policies before providing information through their services.
10. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website without appropriate consent. Massage services for minors, if offered, are subject to our separate service and consent requirements.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the website after a revision becomes effective means you accept the updated policy.
