Privacy notice.

Last updated 19 April 2026.

This notice explains how Onibara collects and uses information you give us when you join the waitlist or apply to become a provider. We keep it plain-English. If anything here is unclear, email waitlist@onibara.com and we'll explain.

Who we are

Onibara is a pre-launch platform for Black-owned beauty and wellness professionals in London. The data controller is Onibara (contact: waitlist@onibara.com). We are based in the United Kingdom.

What we collect

Only what you give us on the waitlist page:

• Customers: your name, email, and postcode.
• Providers: your name, email, business name (optional), service type, years of experience (optional), current booking tool (optional), location, Instagram handle (optional), and a short note on why you applied (optional).
• Technical data: when you submit a form we receive the page URL, any UTM parameters in the link you clicked, the site that referred you, and your IP address (via our form processor, Web3Forms). We use this to understand where our audience comes from, not to identify you.

Why we collect it

• To tell you when Onibara launches, and to send you occasional pre-launch updates if you ticked the consent box.
• To decide who to onboard first as a provider (for provider applications).
• To understand which channels bring people to Onibara, so we spend our time on the ones that work.

Our lawful basis

Under UK GDPR:

• Consent — for the marketing emails you opted into when you ticked the consent box.
• Legitimate interest — for reviewing provider applications and operating the waitlist.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of third-party tools to run the waitlist. Your data passes through them only to do the job we hired them for.

• Web3Forms — receives form submissions and forwards them to us. See web3forms.com/privacy.
• Zoho Mail — our inbox provider, where submissions land.
• Resend — sends our marketing emails if you opted in. See resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers.

How long we keep it

Until Onibara launches, plus six months — so we can confirm you were invited and handle any questions. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data before then, we delete it within 30 days.

Your rights

You can, at any time:

• Ask to see what data we hold on you.
• Ask us to correct it.
• Ask us to delete it.
• Withdraw your consent to marketing emails (every email has an unsubscribe link).
• Object to how we use it.

To exercise any of these rights, email waitlist@onibara.com.

You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk if you think we've mishandled your data.

Cookies

This page uses no tracking cookies. If that changes, we'll update this notice and ask for your consent.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice as Onibara evolves. The date at the top shows when it last changed. Material changes will be communicated by email to anyone on the waitlist.
