By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information from directory visitors, registered users, and tattoo artists/studios in several ways:

  •  
    • Public Directory Data: We may collect publicly available business data (such as licensing details from the Texas Department of State Health Services and public social media portfolios) to create placeholder listings for informational directory purposes.

    • To process your directory claim requests and verify identity.
    • To facilitate and manage your 90-day free trial and eventual paid subscriptions via WooCommerce and Stripe
    • To display your studio location accurately on our interactive map.
    • To communicate with you regarding account updates, customer support, and platform newsletters (you may opt out of promotional emails at any time).
    • To monitor and analyze platform traffic trends and improve website performance.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We value your privacy and do not sell your personal data. We only share information in the following specific circumstances:

    • Public Display: Information you choose to add to your public directory profile (such as your artist name, studio location, portfolio images, and Instagram link) will be visible to all visitors searching the Website.
    • Third-Party Service Providers: We share necessary data with trusted third-party platforms that help run our business, specifically:
      • Stripe: To securely manage and process subscription checkouts.
      • WordPress/WooCommerce: To maintain our website infrastructure and member database.
    • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or in response to a valid request by public authorities (such as the Texas Comptroller or state health departments).

4. Data Retention and Security

    • Security: We use industry-standard security practices and secure servers to protect your personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute safety.
    • Retention: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with services, comply with tax liabilities, or resolve disputes.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

    • Access and Correction: You can review, update, or correct your personal and profile information at any time by logging into your account dashboard.
    • Data Deletion: If you are an artist or studio and wish to have your placeholder listing or registered account permanently removed from our directory, please email us at hello@true-tattoos.com, and we will delete the data promptly.
