Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 20, 2026
What we collect
- Artists: email, name, city, timezone, payout details via Stripe, Instagram handle if connected (Pro tier).
- Clients (booking on an artist’s mini-site): name, email, phone (optional), tattoo idea description, body placement, approximate size, reference image links.
- Operational data: bookings, payments, soft-holds, intake responses, internal artist notes.
What we don’t collect
- Date of birth (we use a self-attested 18+ checkbox).
- Medical history (we recommend artists collect this in-person on the day of the appointment).
- Government ID, social security number, or comparable identifiers.
- We don’t sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers.
How data flows
Client intake submissions are visible only to the Artist they were sent to. Artists’ public mini-site fields (name, city, bio, services, availability) are public by design — that’s the point of the link.
Payments use Stripe Connect Express. We never see card numbers; Stripe handles all PCI-compliant storage.
Third parties we use
- Supabase — database, authentication, file storage.
- Stripe — deposit payments and Connect payouts.
- Vercel — hosting + edge delivery.
- Resend — transactional email (booking confirmations, etc.).
- Meta Graph API — only for Pro-tier artists who opt in to Instagram DM integration.
- OpenAI — only for Pro-tier AI auto-reply; processes incoming DM text to generate replies; no DMs are used to train models.
Cookies
We use the minimum cookies necessary for authentication (Supabase session) and short-lived referral tracking (`inklink_ref`, 30 days). No analytics cookies, no advertising trackers.
Data retention
- Account data: kept while the account is active. Deleted (or anonymized for billing/accounting purposes) within 30 days of account deletion.
- Intake reference images: kept in a private bucket; only the owning artist can read. Soft-holds that expire without intake submission are auto-cleaned.
- Payment records: retained per applicable tax/financial regulations (~7 years).
Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by emailing hello@inklink.tattoo. Artists can also delete their account from settings (account deletion flow is processed within 48 hours).
Children
InkLink is not intended for or directed at anyone under 18. Clients booking on the mini-site must self-attest as 18+.
Changes
We’ll post material changes here and notify active users by email.
