I am self employed, I was in a salon with 40/60% split. Now I'm currently going to another salon where I'll be renting a chair.
However the salon I was in, the owner is threatening me with data protection act, because I have taken my clients record cards. I thought because I am self employed I have every right to take those cards with my clients permission? Also because I was told to leave unexpectedly, I had clients booked in that week and they were going to follow me after I had gone, so for example I had a client booked in, I already took card home she did say I could, but because she was booked in for her colour she did still go in there, I took a pic of what she had done and sent it her, not anyone else but her, is that data protection act?
