We use this information for client safety, service administration, recordkeeping, and compliance with applicable requirements.

5. Artist-Specific Appointment Requests
Old Town Ink allows visitors to contact individual tattoo artists regarding potential tattoo projects.
When you select or contact a particular artist, information you submit may be provided or routed to that artist so the artist can review your request, respond to you, and determine whether they are available or interested in the project.
Because Old Town Ink artists may communicate directly with clients regarding scheduling, design, deposits, and appointment details, communications with an artist may occur through email, telephone, text message, social media, scheduling platforms, or other communication methods.
Please only submit information that is reasonably necessary for your tattoo inquiry.

If an image includes another person, you are responsible for ensuring you have the appropriate right or permission to provide that image for the intended purpose.
7. Payment Information
If you make a deposit or payment electronically, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment processor.
Old Town Ink may receive transaction information such as your name, payment status, transaction amount, transaction date, and limited payment details.
We may not directly receive or store your complete credit or debit card number when payments are processed by a third-party provider.
Payment processors maintain their own privacy practices and security procedures.

9. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
Old Town Ink does not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.
However, some website analytics or advertising technologies may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising under the privacy laws of certain states even when no money is exchanged.
Where applicable law provides you with the right to opt out of such activities, Old Town Ink will honor legally valid requests and provide an appropriate method for exercising those rights.
10. Marketing Communications
We may send promotional emails, text messages, or other marketing communications when you have provided appropriate consent or where otherwise permitted by law.
You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications by using the unsubscribe method included in the message.
If marketing text messages are offered, instructions for opting out will be provided with those communications.
Appointment confirmations, responses to inquiries, scheduling messages, deposit information, and other service-related communications are not considered promotional communications and may still be sent when necessary to provide services you requested.
11. Photographs of Tattoos
Old Town Ink and our artists may photograph or record completed tattoo work for portfolios, websites, social media, advertising, or other promotional purposes.
Where consent is required, photographs or recordings will be used in accordance with the authorization provided by the client.
If you do not want your tattoo photographed or used for promotional purposes, please communicate that to your artist.
We will not intentionally identify you by name in promotional tattoo photography unless permission has been provided or the information has otherwise been made public by you.
12. Social Media
Old Town Ink and individual artists may maintain accounts on platforms such as Instagram and other social networks.
If you communicate with us, comment, tag Old Town Ink, send direct messages, submit content, or otherwise interact with us through a social media platform, that platform may collect and process information according to its own privacy policies.
Information you post publicly on social media may be visible to Old Town Ink and to the general public.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party social media platforms.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Retention periods may depend on factors such as:
Whether you become a client;
The nature of your tattoo project;
Appointment and transaction records;
Consent or release documentation;
Legal, accounting, tax, insurance, or recordkeeping requirements;
Dispute resolution;
Fraud prevention; and
Legitimate business needs.
Information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably necessary to retain it, subject to applicable legal requirements.
14. Data Security
Old Town Ink takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect personal information.
However, no website, electronic transmission, email system, database, or method of storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should use caution when transmitting sensitive information electronically.
15. Data Breaches
If Old Town Ink becomes aware of a security breach involving personal information, we will investigate the incident and provide notifications when required by applicable law.

Old Town Ink is not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
19. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers allow users to transmit “Do Not Track” signals.
Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to all such signals, our website may not respond to traditional browser Do Not Track signals.
Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular legally recognized opt-out preference signal, we will process supported signals as required.
