Privacy Policy
 **Last updated: February 20, 2026**
Dudes Tattoos ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website www.dudestattoos.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, contact us, book an appointment, or interact with our services.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
**Information You Provide Directly** - When you contact us (via form, email, phone, Instagram DM, or in-person): name, email address, phone number, address (if provided), preferred tattoo placement/size/style ideas, references/photos you send, and any health/medical information relevant to tattoo safety (e.g., allergies, skin conditions, medications). - When booking consultations or appointments (online form, email, or third-party scheduler): name, contact details, date/time preferences, and tattoo description. - Age/date of birth (we require clients to be 18+ or have parental consent for minors).
**Automatically Collected Information** - Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time/date of visit, referral source, and approximate location (from IP). - Cookies and similar technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, or pixels for site functionality, analytics, and (if applicable) advertising.
**Information from Third Parties** - If you book via a third-party platform (e.g., booking calendar, Square, Vagaro), we receive the information you provide there. - Social media interactions (Instagram, etc.) may share public profile info when you engage with our account.
We do **not** intentionally collect sensitive personal information beyond what's necessary for safe tattooing (e.g., we do not collect financial details directly on the Site—payments are handled securely by third-party processors).

2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to: - Respond to inquiries, schedule consultations/appointments, and communicate about your tattoo project. - Provide and improve our services (including aftercare advice). - Ensure tattoo safety by understanding any relevant health information you voluntarily share. - Operate, maintain, and improve the Site (analytics, bug fixes, etc.). - Send occasional updates, flash sale announcements, or portfolio highlights (only if you opt-in or we have a direct business relationship). - Comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and enforce our studio policies.

3. Sharing Your Information
We do **not** sell your personal information. We may share information only in these limited cases: - With service providers who help us run the business (e.g., email provider, website host, booking software, payment processors)—they are contractually required to protect your data. - To comply with laws, respond to subpoenas, court orders, or government requests. - To protect the rights, property, or safety of Dudes Tattoos, our clients, or the public (e.g., health/safety concerns). - In connection with a business transfer (merger, sale, etc.).

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use essential cookies for site functionality. We may also use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand Site usage. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. For more details, see our Cookie Policy (if separate) or browser help.

5. Data Retention
We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Contact/request/tattoo-consultation records are typically kept for 3–7 years (for aftercare, liability, and health/safety records).

6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights including: - To know what personal information we hold about you. - To request deletion of your data (subject to legal exceptions). - To opt out of certain uses/sharing (e.g., marketing emails). - Non-discrimination for exercising rights.

For new clients (without existing tattoos), we require proper State or Federal Identification before proceeding with tattoo services (per New York law).
