Salt & Bloom
Privacy Policy
Last updated August 30, 2026
This policy explains what we collect when you visit this site or book a treatment, how we use it, and what you can ask us to do with it. Because we are a licensed practice, some of what you tell us concerns your health, and that is handled with more care than anything else on this list.
Who We Are
Salt & Bloom is Salt & Bloom LLC, a Florida limited liability company, practising at 12357 W Dixie Hwy, North Miami, FL 33161. We share that address with My Long Life Acupuncture, a separate and independently licensed practice; they keep their own records and this policy does not cover them.
Treatments are performed by Yeslie Valdes, Licensed Massage Therapist (MA 92896) and Licensed Facial Specialist (FB9774253). Both licences can be verified on the state's own registries.
For any question about this policy, or about information we hold on you, write to contactus@saltandbloomwellness.com or call (786) 957-8020.
What We Collect
When you contact us or book, we collect what you give us directly: your name, phone number, email address, the treatments you want, and the times that suit you.
Before your first treatment we ask you to complete an intake form and health history, and to sign the consents and waivers that apply to the services you have booked. That intake may include medical conditions, injuries, surgeries, allergies, medications, pregnancy, and skin sensitivities. We ask because some of what we do is genuinely unsafe for some people — high frequency is not used over a pacemaker, and resurfacing is not performed on skin that has been waxed the same day. We collect it to treat you safely and for no other reason.
We do not store card numbers. Any payment is taken in person or through a payment provider that handles the card details itself; we see the last four digits and whether it succeeded.
We set no advertising cookies, run no analytics, and build no profile of you. We have nothing to sell to anyone who might want one.
Our online booking is provided by Vagaro. Opening the booking window loads their software, which sets its own cookies so that it can hold your appointment and keep you signed in while you use it. Those cookies are Vagaro's rather than ours and are governed by their privacy policy. Nothing of theirs loads until you open that window — if you book by phone or email instead, it never runs at all.
How We Use It
To arrange, prepare for, and perform your treatment. To adapt or decline a treatment where your health history says we should. To reach you about an appointment — a confirmation, a change, a reminder. To keep the records the State of Florida requires a licensed practitioner to keep.
We will only send you anything promotional if you have asked us to, and every one of those has a way out at the bottom. Appointment messages are not marketing and will keep coming while you have a booking with us.
Your Health Information
Health intake is kept separately from everything else and is seen only by the practitioner treating you. It is not shared with My Long Life Acupuncture, or with anyone else, without your written permission — the exceptions being where the law requires disclosure, or where there is a genuine emergency and it is needed to keep you safe.
We are not a HIPAA covered entity: we do not bill insurance or transmit health claims electronically. That does not lower the standard we hold ourselves to with what you have told us. It does mean HIPAA's specific rights do not attach to these records, and we would rather say so plainly than let you assume otherwise.
Treatment records are retained for the period Florida requires of licensed massage therapists and facial specialists, and are then destroyed securely.
Who Else Sees It
Nobody, other than the people who have to. That means the practitioner treating you, and the service providers that run this practice's ordinary machinery — email, scheduling, payment processing. Those providers may only use what they hold to provide their service to us.
We do not sell your information. We do not rent it, trade it, or hand it to advertisers. If we are ever legally compelled to disclose something, we will tell you unless we are prohibited from doing so.
What You Can Ask For
You can ask what we hold on you, ask us to correct it, ask for a copy, or ask us to delete it. Write to contactus@saltandbloomwellness.com and we will answer within thirty days.
Deletion has one limit worth stating: where the state requires us to retain a treatment record for a set period, we will keep that record until the period is up, and then destroy it. We will tell you when that applies.
Keeping It Safe
Records are held on access-controlled systems, and paper intake is kept locked. No system is perfect and we will not claim otherwise. If a breach ever affected your information, we would tell you and the appropriate authorities as the law requires.
Children
This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A guest under 18 may be treated only with the written consent of a parent or guardian, and the guardian must remain on the premises for the whole of the treatment.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be brought to your attention rather than left to be discovered.
