• Visit our website at www.tattoopopups.com (the "Website")
• Request a proposal, book a call, or communicate with us as a prospective or current client
• Participate in a Tattoo Popup event as a guest receiving or considering tattoo services
• Apply to work with us as an artist, event staff member, or contractor

By using the Website or providing information to us at an event, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or provide personal information to us.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three broad contexts: Website visitors, event guests, and business contacts (clients, planners, venues, and applicants).

A. Information You Provide Directly

• Contact & business details: Name, email, phone number, company, job title, event details, and messages you send via forms, email, or scheduling tools
• Guest check-in & waiver data: Full name, signature, date of birth, phone number (for queue notifications), email, government ID verification status, design selection, and consent to tattoo services
• Health-related disclosures: Information you voluntarily provide relevant to tattooing (for example, allergies, skin conditions, medications, or pregnancy status) — collected only as needed to assess eligibility
• Payment & contracting: Billing contact information; payment card or bank details are processed by our payment processors and not stored by us except as needed for records
• Employment & talent applications: Resume, portfolio, licensure, certifications, work history, and references
• Photos & media: Images or video captured at events, with identification depending on context and consent

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Device & usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP
• Cookies & similar technologies: See Section 8

C. Information from Third Parties

• Event clients and venues (production details, guest lists where shared for coordination)
• Scheduling and communications platforms
• Analytics and advertising partners (aggregated or pseudonymous data)
• Publicly available professional information relevant to business development

2. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information for the following business purposes:

• Deliver services: Operate tattoo activations, manage digital queues and SMS waitlist notifications, verify age and eligibility, and provide aftercare instructions
• Produce events: Custom flash design, permitting, insurance certificates, crew coordination, and on-site operations

We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted by the CPRA without your consent.

3. How We Share Personal Information

We share personal information only as described below. We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising in a manner that constitutes a "sale" or "sharing" under California law without offering opt-out rights.

• Service providers: Vendors who help us operate (hosting, email, SMS, scheduling, CRM, analytics, payment processing, cloud storage). They may use information only to perform services for us under contract
• Event clients: When agreed in our client contract, we may share limited guest or operational information with the host (for example, aggregate participation counts or contact details for event follow-up)
• Venues & permitting authorities: Information required to obtain health department permits, insurance certificates, or venue compliance
• Professional advisors: Lawyers, accountants, and insurers under confidentiality obligations
• Legal & safety: When required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, and security
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection of personal information

4. SMS & Electronic Communications

At events, guests may provide a mobile number to join a digital waitlist and receive text notifications when it is their turn. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages. Reply HELP for help. SMS consent is not a condition of purchase.

We may also send service-related emails and, where permitted, marketing emails. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in each message.

5. Sensitive Personal Information

We may collect sensitive personal information including date of birth, government ID details (for age verification), and health information voluntarily disclosed for tattoo eligibility. We use this information only to:

• Verify that guests are 18 or older
• Assess whether tattooing is appropriate in our professional judgment
• Comply with health and safety obligations
• Maintain records required by applicable body-art regulations

California residents may request that we limit use of sensitive personal information beyond these purposes as provided in Section 10.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

• Guest waiver records: As required by applicable health department and body-art regulations (often several years)
• Client contracts & invoices: As required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes
• Marketing contacts: Until you opt out or we determine the relationship is inactive
• Website analytics: According to our analytics provider retention settings

When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it using reasonable measures.

7. Photos, Video & Portfolio Use

We document events to show our work to prospective clients and on social media. Practices include:

• Photographs of tattoos, stations, and event environments
• Occasional guest appearance in event photography where identifiable
• Opt-out available at guest check-in for identifiable photography

We may use non-identifying tattoo images (for example, a healed tattoo without face or name) in portfolios without additional consent. If you previously consented to identifiable use and wish to withdraw, contact us and we will make commercially reasonable efforts to remove future use.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We and our partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:

• Operate essential Website functions
• Understand how visitors use the Website (analytics)
• Measure marketing campaign performance

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect Website functionality. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out of sale/sharing where applicable.

Third-party tools we may use include analytics providers, scheduling embeds, and embedded video players. Their use of data is governed by their own policies.

9. Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including access controls, encrypted transmission where appropriate, and staff training. No system is completely secure. If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
