Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Tattoomia ("we", "us", "tattoomia.com") collects when you visit or use the site, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it in plain English on purpose.

Information we collect

• Account information. If you create an account we store your username, email address, password (as a secure one-way hash, never in plain text) and any profile details you choose to add, such as a display name or bio.
• Content you create. Comments, community threads and replies, saved designs, newsletter signups and virtual try-on uploads you choose to keep.
• Usage data. Like most websites, our servers automatically log basic technical information: IP address, browser type, pages visited and timestamps. We use this to keep the site fast, secure and working.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for a few purposes: keeping you signed in (session and "remember me" cookies), protecting forms against abuse, and understanding how the site is used so we can improve it. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; the site will still work, though you may need to sign in more often.

Advertising and Google AdSense

Tattoomia is free to use and supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads. As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on Tattoomia. This policy does not cover their practices; please review their own privacy policies.

Depending on your location, you may see a consent message before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time.

How we use your information

• To provide, maintain and improve the site and its features.
• To operate your account, show your saved designs and publish your comments and threads.
• To send the newsletter you asked for (every email includes a way to unsubscribe).
• To keep the site secure and prevent spam and abuse.
• To display advertising that keeps Tattoomia free.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not share your email address with advertisers.
• We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Data retention and deletion

We keep account data for as long as your account exists. You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time via our contact page; we will action it within a reasonable period, except where we must retain data to meet legal obligations.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, reach out through the contact page and we will help.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including hashed passwords and encrypted storage of sensitive configuration. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we work hard to protect what you trust us with.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
