Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 1, 2026
Last Updated: August 1, 2026
Earth’s Edge Tattoo & Body Piercing respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and online tattoo consultation form, how we use it, how it is stored, and the choices available to you.
By using this website or submitting a tattoo consultation request, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
When you submit an online tattoo consultation request, we may collect:
- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your email address
- The requested tattoo body location
- Your black-and-gray or color preference
- Your tattoo design description
- Your preferred tattoo artist
- The date and time the request was submitted
We ask only for information reasonably needed to review the request and communicate with you about a possible tattoo consultation.
How We Use Your Information
We may use the information you provide to:
- Review and respond to your tattoo consultation request
- Contact you about your design, artist preference, or next steps
- Match your request with an appropriate tattoo artist
- Prepare for a possible in-person consultation or appointment
- Provide customer service and answer questions
- Protect the security and proper operation of our website
Age Requirement
Online tattoo consultation requests are intended only for adults who are at least 18 years old. Earth’s Edge Tattoo & Body Piercing does not tattoo minors, even with parental or guardian consent.
A valid government-issued photo ID is required before tattoo services are performed. The online age-confirmation checkbox is a screening step and is not a substitute for checking identification in person.
How Information Is Stored and Protected
Consultation information is stored using Google Firebase and Cloud Firestore. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect submitted information, including restricted account access, Firebase Authentication, Firestore Security Rules, and Firebase App Check.
No method of Internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security, but we work to limit access and protect the information entrusted to us.
Firebase App Check and reCAPTCHA
This website uses Firebase App Check with Google reCAPTCHA to help protect the consultation form and database from abuse. These services may process technical information about your browser, device, and interaction with the website for security and fraud-prevention purposes. Google’s handling of that information is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.
Who May Access Your Information
Consultation information is available only to authorized Earth’s Edge personnel who need access to review, print, manage, or respond to consultation requests.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell or rent consultation information. Information may be processed by service providers used to operate the website and consultation system, including Google Firebase.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a lawful request, investigate misuse, enforce our rights, or protect the safety and property of Earth’s Edge, our clients, or others.
Data Retention
Consultation requests are retained only as long as reasonably needed to review the request, contact the client, prepare for possible scheduling, resolve questions, maintain appropriate business records, or comply with legal obligations. Records that are no longer needed may be deleted from the consultation system.
Your Choices
You may contact Earth’s Edge to ask a question about this policy or request correction or deletion of information submitted through the consultation form. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party services or websites, such as Facebook, Instagram, or Google Maps. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
