Alek the Saint respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit this website, submit a tattoo request, upload reference images, or communicate with me.

This policy applies to information collected by Alek the Saint through this website and related booking communications. It does not cover the separate privacy practices of Locally Famous Tattoo or other websites and services.

If you pay a deposit through a third-party payment service, I may receive confirmation of the payment and limited transaction information. Full payment-card details are handled by the payment processor.

When you visit the website, certain information may be collected automatically, including:

Cookie, analytics, and advertising identifiers

HOW INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

Information may be collected:

Directly from you through forms, uploads, calls, texts, emails, and consultations

Automatically through your browser, device, cookies, pixels, and analytics tools

Through service providers that operate the website, forms, CRM, communications, analytics, advertising, or payments

Through social media, review platforms, or other public sources when you contact me through those services

HOW I USE INFORMATION

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE DISCLOSED

I may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

Website, form, CRM, hosting, storage, and communication providers, including GoHighLevel and LeadConnector

Analytics and advertising providers, including Google and Meta

Payment processors when you pay a deposit or invoice

Locally Famous Tattoo when necessary to coordinate your appointment, studio operations, or safety

Professional advisers such as accountants, attorneys, or insurers

Government agencies, courts, or law enforcement when required by law

A successor or purchaser if the business is reorganized, transferred, or sold

These providers may only receive information reasonably necessary to perform their services or as otherwise described in their own privacy policies.

I do not sell personal information for money. However, analytics and advertising technologies may transmit online identifiers and activity information to companies such as Google or Meta. Some privacy laws may define this activity as “sharing” for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising.

COOKIES, ANALYTICS, AND ADVERTISING

This website may use cookies, pixels, and similar technology supplied by GoHighLevel, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, and other service providers.

These tools may collect information about your device, website activity, and interactions with advertisements. Some providers may collect information about your activity over time and across different websites, subject to their own privacy policies and your account or browser settings.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the website work.

This website does not currently change its data-collection practices in response to traditional browser “Do Not Track” signals. Where applicable law requires the recognition of a legally valid privacy preference signal, it will be handled as required by law.

PHONE, TEXT, AND EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

When you submit a tattoo request, I may contact you using the information you provided to discuss that request, answer questions, and manage your appointment.

If you separately agree to receive marketing texts or emails, you may withdraw that permission at any time. You may reply STOP to a text message or use the unsubscribe option in a marketing email.

Opting out of marketing does not prevent necessary service messages about an active request, appointment, deposit, or transaction.

DATA RETENTION

I keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:

Respond to your request

Plan and provide tattoo services

Maintain appointment and transaction records

Meet legal, accounting, tax, or insurance requirements

Resolve disputes

Enforce agreements

Prevent fraud or misuse

Information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably needed, unless continued retention is required or permitted by law.

SECURITY

I use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through the website.

YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

You may ask me to:

Tell you what personal information I maintain about you

Correct inaccurate information

Delete certain information

Stop marketing communications

Limit certain uses or disclosures of your information

Depending on where you live and whether the applicable privacy law covers the business, you may have additional rights. California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, or delete personal information; opt out of certain sales or sharing; limit certain uses of sensitive information; and receive equal service when exercising privacy rights.

To submit a request, use the contact or booking form on this website and write “Privacy Request” at the beginning of your message. Include enough information for me to identify your records and understand the request.

I may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. Some information may be retained when necessary to complete a transaction, comply with the law, protect security, or establish or defend legal claims.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

This website and my tattoo services are intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child submitted personal information through this website, please contact me so the information can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

This website may link to social media platforms, maps, review websites, payment services, or other third-party websites. I am not responsible for the privacy or security practices of those third parties.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

I may update this Privacy Policy when the website, services, technology, or legal requirements change.

The updated policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the website after an update means the revised policy applies to information collected after the update.
