Privacy and consent records
This site has two forms, and the studio keeps one signed record at check-in. This page states what each collects, why, who else sees it, how long it is kept and how to have it removed.
Effective date: September 13, 2026
What the contact form collects
The contact form collects a name, an email address, an optional telephone number, the style, placement, size and timeframe of the idea, and the message typed into it. No field on it is hidden.
That information is used to answer the proposal and arrange the appointment that follows from it, and for nothing else. It is not sold, rented or used to build a profile, and it is not passed to an advertising network.
What the subscribe form collects
The subscribe form collects an email address and nothing else. No name, no telephone number and no address is asked for or stored.
The address is used to send occasional notes about new flash, guest spots and availability. Every message carries a one-click removal link.
Why the information is collected
Both forms exist for one reason: to let someone reach Black Finch Tattoo without having to telephone during opening hours.
There is no analytics script on this site, no advertising pixel and no third-party cookie. Nothing on these pages tracks a visitor between sessions or between sites.
Who else receives the information
A form submission is delivered by an email service acting on the studio's instructions. That service can see the contents of the message in order to deliver it, and is not permitted to use it for anything else.
The site itself is served as static files by a hosting provider, which keeps ordinary server logs. Those logs are the hosting provider's, not the studio's.
How long it is kept
Proposals are kept for as long as the conversation is live and for twelve months afterwards, so a returning client's earlier project can be found. The photo ID check and signed consent form from check-in are kept with the appointment record for as long as state health rules require.
A subscribe address is kept until it is removed, either by the link in a message or by asking the studio directly.
Security, and its limits
Form data travels over an encrypted connection. Access to the studio's mailbox is limited to the people who answer it.
No payment details are collected anywhere on this site. The drawing deposit is arranged directly with the studio.
Choices a visitor has
Nobody has to use either form. The telephone number and the address are published on the contact page for exactly that reason.
A subscriber can leave the list at any time and does not have to give a reason.
Asking for removal
A request to see, correct or delete stored information can be sent to the studio's email address, and is answered within thirty days.
Deletion covers the enquiry and the subscribe record. It cannot remove a message from a mailbox belonging to someone who was copied on it outside this site.
Contacting the business about privacy
Questions about this notice go to the studio's published email address or to the address on the contact page.
This notice is reviewed whenever the forms or the records behind them change, and the effective date above is updated when it is.
