Privacy policy

Last updated: January 2026

At The Tattoo Frame, accessible from tattooframe.com, your privacy matters. This project exists to frame tattoo culture and accompany those who live it, and that same respect applies to how we handle your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used when you interact with our website, including when you use our quote system to contact a tattoo shop or business.

Information we collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including but not limited to:

• Name and email address when you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter
• Information submitted through contact forms, quote forms, or submission forms
• Details you include in a quote request, such as placement, size, style references, preferred dates, city, and any notes you choose to share
• Basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as medical information, government IDs, or payment details. Please do not submit sensitive personal data through our forms.

How we use your information

The information we collect is used to:

• Respond to messages, inquiries, or submissions
• Process and route quote requests to the business you selected
• Improve our editorial content, directory listings, and user experience
• Communicate updates, new articles, or relevant project news when you opt in
• Analyze website performance and user behavior to improve functionality
• Prevent spam, fraud, or misuse of the platform

Quote system and sharing with businesses

If you submit a request through our quote system, we will share the information you provide with the tattoo shop or business you requested a quote from. This typically includes your contact details and your project details, so the business can respond.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent or trade your contact details. We only share your information as needed to deliver your quote request to the business you selected or to complete the specific action you initiated.

Once your request is delivered, the business may contact you directly by email, phone, or other methods you provided. Their use of your information is governed by their own policies and practices, and we do not control how they store or handle your data after they receive it. If you want a business to delete your information, you should contact that business directly.
