Privacy: what state privacy laws (no single federal law) means for this form

Nationally, state privacy laws (no single federal law) is there is no one national privacy law; several states, such as California, have their own, so keep the form short and explain why you ask each question.

CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.

Booking times in Boston

Boston changes its clocks for daylight saving, so a Men's cut at 18:00 stays at 18:00 local time all year. CalendarForm skips times that do not exist on the night the clocks go forward.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in America/New York, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set it up in four steps

  1. Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Booking form".
  2. Set the time zone to America/New_York and add your opening hours.
  3. Edit the questions above, add the state privacy laws (no single federal law) consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
  4. Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.
