Privacy policy

This policy explains how Tattooistmap (tattooistmap.com) handles personal information. Questions: hello@tattooistmap.com.

What we collect

• When you browse: technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, used to run, secure and measure the site. You don't need an account.
• When you write a review: your rating, review, the name you choose to show and any details you add, which are published once approved; and your email address, which is never shown.
• When you report or claim a listing, or contact us: what you tell us, and your name, email address and (to confirm a claim by phone) phone number if you give them. These are never shown on the site.
• About artists and shops: business information that is already public, such as names, studio addresses and contact details. We don't publish home addresses.

How we use it

To run the directory and map, confirm and moderate reviews, answer reports and requests, keep the site secure and prevent spam and abuse, and understand how the site is used. We may email an artist or shop listed on the site about their own listing, such as an invitation to claim it; every such email has an unsubscribe link, and we honor it. We don't sell personal information, and we don't share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Who receives it

Service providers that host, store, secure and email for us, acting on our behalf. Some pages also load content from other services, such as map images and posts from social media platforms like Instagram; those services receive your IP address and browser information and may set their own cookies, under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information when the law requires it or to protect people or the site.

How long we keep it

Only as long as we need it for the purposes above. Published reviews stay up while the artist is listed or until you ask us to remove them.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, including your reviews, reports or listing. Email hello@tattooistmap.com from the address you used, or use Report a problem or remove this listing on a listing. We reply within 30 days and never charge for it, and we won't treat you differently for asking. Artists and shops can have their listing corrected or removed at any time. We don't use Facebook or Instagram login, so we hold no data from your Meta account.

Children

Tattooistmap isn't meant for children, and you must be 18 or older to write a review. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13; if you think we have, email hello@tattooistmap.com and we'll delete it.

Changes

We'll post any changes here and update the date at the top. See also our terms of use.
