We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us when you submit a booking enquiry through our contact form. This includes:
- Full name

We do not collect any sensitive personal data, financial information, or data from minors. Our services are for adults aged 18 and over.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the information you provide solely to:
- Respond to your booking enquiry

- Answer any questions you have raised
We will never use your data for marketing, profiling, or any automated decision-making. We will never sell or share your data with third parties for their own purposes.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Our legal basis for processing your personal data is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). When you submit our enquiry form, you are actively requesting a response from us. Processing your contact details in order to reply is a necessary and proportionate step to fulfil that request, and we believe this is clearly within your reasonable expectations.
5. How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your enquiry data only for as long as is necessary to handle your request. Once your enquiry has been resolved — whether you go ahead with a booking or decide not to — your personal data is deleted. We do not maintain mailing lists or long-term contact databases.
If you wish to request earlier deletion, please contact us at contact@talismantattoo.com.
6. Sharing Your Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your information is only accessible to the Talisman Tattoo team for the purpose of handling your enquiry.
The one exception is Google reCAPTCHA, which is used on our contact form to protect against spam. When you submit the form, a reCAPTCHA token is sent to Google’s servers for verification. Google may process this data in accordance with their own privacy policy. See Section 8 (Cookies) for more detail.

Right of Access
