• Booking details such as your name, phone number, email address, age, selected service, artist preference, appointment date, time slot, and design notes.
• Reference image file name, if you select an image while submitting a booking request.

• Understand your requested tattoo or piercing service before your visit.
• Display reviews you submit on the website experience in your browser.

4. Booking Email Handling

When you submit the Reserve Session form, your booking details are sent by email to the studio owner account. The email is sent from the studio's configured email system, and your email address is used as the reply-to address so our team can reply directly to you.

The website does not currently create a customer account or public booking profile from your booking details.

5. Reviews Stored In Your Browser

The review form stores submitted reviews in your browser's local storage under the key used by this website. This means the review may appear on your own device and browser, but it is not automatically sent to our server as part of the current website code.

You can remove locally stored review data by clearing your browser's site data for this website.

6. Cookies And Similar Technologies

The current website does not use advertising cookies, analytics tags, tracking pixels, or account login cookies. Browser local storage may be used for reviews as described above.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website includes links or actions for WhatsApp, Google Maps, Instagram, Facebook, phone calls, and navigation. If you open these services, their own privacy policies and data practices apply. We do not control how those third-party platforms collect or use your information.

8. Sharing Of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share or process information only where needed to operate the website and studio, including email delivery, responding to your booking request, complying with law, protecting rights and safety, or working with service providers who help us run communications and hosting.

9. Data Retention

Booking emails may be retained in the studio email account for business, customer service, safety, accounting, dispute resolution, or legal reasons. Locally stored review data stays in your browser until you clear it or the browser removes it.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and operational steps to protect personal information, including keeping email sending credentials on the server side rather than exposing them in the browser. No website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Children And Age Requirements

The booking form requires customers to confirm they are at least 16 years old. Tattoo and piercing services may require additional age checks, identification, guardian consent, or refusal of service depending on the service requested and applicable studio policy.

12. Your Choices And Rights

You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or withdrawal of consent for personal information you have submitted to us, subject to identity verification and any legal or business retention requirements.
