What data do I collect?
- Contact details such as your name, email address and phone number, when you book through the online calendar or contact me by email, phone, Instagram or Facebook.
- Information about your tattoo: your idea, placement, size and any reference images you send.
- Consent form: the details on the consent form you sign before your session, including your date of birth to confirm you are 18 or older.
- Health information that you share with me so I can check that tattooing is safe for you.
- Photos of your tattoo, only if you agree.
Why do I use it?
- To plan, prepare and carry out your appointment, and to stay in touch about it.
- With your consent, to measure how this website is used (see Cookies below).
- To meet my legal obligations, such as keeping consent forms under the Royal Decree of 25 November 2005 on tattoos and piercings, and keeping accounting records.
- Health information is only used to keep you safe during and after your session, and only with your explicit consent.
- Photos of your tattoo are only shown on this website or on social media with your consent. You can withdraw that consent at any time and I will remove the photo from this website.
Who else sees your data?
I never sell your data. Some services handle data on my behalf: Calendly for online bookings, Google (Analytics) if you accept cookies, Instagram and Facebook (Meta) when you contact me there, and the company that hosts this website. Each of them has its own privacy policy.
How long do I keep it?
Only as long as needed for the reasons above, or as long as the law requires, for example for consent forms and accounting records. After that, your data is deleted.
Cookies, analytics and this website
With your permission, this website uses Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to see how visitors use the site: for example which pages are visited, roughly from which region, and on which kind of device. This helps me improve the site. Google Analytics places cookies (whose names start with _ga) that are kept for up to 2 years.
Nothing from Google is loaded until you click Accept in the cookie banner. If you click Refuse, no analytics cookies are placed. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page; when you withdraw your consent, the analytics cookies are removed.
Google Ireland Limited processes this data on my behalf. Google may transfer data to the United States, under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. More information is in Google's privacy policy.
Apart from that, your browser only remembers your cookie choice and whether you have already seen the intro animation (see the cookie policy). That information stays on your own device. When you click through to the online calendar, Calendly's own cookie policy applies.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, object to its use, withdraw your consent, or receive a copy of your data. Just send an email to info@hamu-ink.be. If you are not happy with how I handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (www.dataprotectionauthority.be).
