privacy
_Last updated: September 2026_
I take your privacy seriously. This page explains what personal information I collect when you use mitchboldtattoos.com, how I use it, and the choices you have.
If you have any questions after reading this, you can always reach me at mitchbold.ink@gmail.com.

2. What this policy covers
This privacy policy applies to:
- This website: mitchboldtattoos.com
- Any forms or booking tools embedded on this site
- Email or phone contact that starts from this site
It does not cover:
- Third‑party websites I link to (for example, Instagram or a separate booking platform)
- How social media platforms handle your data
- Any services or apps I do not control
For those, you will need to read their own privacy policies.
3. Information I collect
I collect information in three main ways:
- Information you give me directly
- Information collected automatically when you use the site
- Information from third‑party tools used on the site
3.1 Information you give me
You may share personal information with me when you:
- Fill out a contact form
- Submit a booking request or consultation request
- Send an email or text
- Call or text me at (905) 467-0951
- Send a direct message after clicking through to Instagram
The information you share might include:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Preferred dates and times
- Tattoo ideas, reference images and placement details
- Any notes you choose to share about your health or skin
I only ask for the minimum details needed to reply, book you in, or understand your idea.
Please avoid sending sensitive medical information. If something needs to be discussed, we can talk through it directly.
3.2 Information collected automatically
Like most websites, some information is collected automatically when you visit:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type
- Pages you visit and how long you stay
- How you found the site (for example, Google or Instagram)
This information is used to understand how people use the site and to keep it running smoothly. It does not tell me who you are by name.
3.3 Cookies and similar technologies
This website may use cookies or similar tools to:
- Remember basic preferences (for example, if you closed a notice)
- Understand which pages are visited most often
- Help keep the site secure
You can usually control cookies in your browser settings. If you block cookies, some parts of the site may not work exactly as intended, but you should still be able to browse.
4. How I use your information
I use your information for clear, simple reasons:
- To reply when you contact me
- To review your idea and let you know if it is a good fit
- To book appointments and consultations
- To send booking details, confirmations or changes
- To manage deposits and reschedules
- To improve the website, based on how people use it
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse
I do not sell your information. I do not rent or trade it.
5. Legal grounds for using your information
Because I am based in Toronto, Ontario, I follow Canadian privacy laws, including any rules that apply to small businesses in Ontario.
I rely on these grounds to collect and use your information:
- Your consent when you fill out a form, send a message or agree to cookies
- Legitimate interests, such as responding to your enquiry, managing bookings, protecting the site and understanding how it is used
- Legal obligations, if I must keep records for tax or business reasons
You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing mitchbold.ink@gmail.com. This will not affect any use of your information that already happened.
6. How I share information
I only share your information in a few limited situations:
- Service providers
I may use third‑party services to host the site, send emails, store files or manage bookings. They only have access to the information needed to do that job and are not allowed to use it for their own purposes.
- Legal reasons
I may share information if I am required to by law, or if I need to protect my rights, safety, or the rights and safety of others.
I do not share your personal information with other artists or studios for marketing. If I ever think another artist would be a better fit for your idea, I will only share your details if you agree.
7. How I store and protect your information
I take reasonable steps to keep your information safe:
- Using reputable hosting providers
- Using passwords and access controls
- Limiting who can access booking and contact records (only me)
- Avoiding paper records where possible
No system is perfect, but I work to keep your personal details protected.
If I ever become aware of a data breach that affects your personal information, I will contact you when the law requires me to and explain what happened and what you can do.
8. How long I keep your information
I keep your information only as long as I need it for the reasons in this policy, or as long as the law requires.
In practice, that usually means:
- Enquiries that do not lead to a booking: kept until the conversation ends, then deleted when no longer needed
- Booking and deposit records: kept for a period that makes sense for business records and tax rules
- Tattoo ideas and reference images: kept while I am working on your piece and for a reasonable time afterward, in case you return for touch‑ups, add‑ons or future work
If you want me to delete information sooner, you can ask. See the “Your rights” section below.
9. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live and the privacy laws that apply, you may have rights over your personal information, including:
- The right to know what personal information I hold about you
- The right to get a copy of that information
- The right to correct information that is wrong or incomplete
- The right to ask me to delete your information, within legal limits
- The right to object to certain types of use
- The right to withdraw consent at any time
To use any of these rights, email mitchbold.ink@gmail.com with your request. I may need to confirm your identity before I can act on it.
10. Third‑party links and services
This website may link to or embed services from other platforms, such as:
- A booking platform
- Map or direction tools
- Payment providers
Those services collect and use data under their own privacy policies. I do not control how they handle your information. I recommend reading their policies before you share personal details with them.
11. Children and age limits
Tattoo services at Mitch Bold Tattoos are for adults 18+ only, with government photo ID required.
This website is not designed for children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has shared information with me, contact me at mitchbold.ink@gmail.com and I will delete it where appropriate.
12. International visitors
This site is built and run in Canada, and my main clients are in Toronto and the GTA. If you visit from another country, your information may be transferred to and stored in Canada or other locations where my service providers operate.
By using the site, you understand that your information may be handled outside your home country, where privacy laws may be different.
13. Changes to this policy
I may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect:
- Changes to the website
- New tools or services I use
- Updates to privacy laws
When I update it, I will change the “Last updated” date at the top. If the change is important, I may also post a notice on the site.
If you keep using the site after the policy changes, that means you accept the new version.
14. How to contact me about privacy
If you have any questions, concerns or requests about this privacy policy or your personal information, you can contact me directly:
- Email: mitchbold.ink@gmail.com
- Phone: (905) 467-0951
- Work location (by appointment):
1800 Davenport Rd, Unit 6 Toronto, ON M6N 4X3 Canada
When you reach out, include enough detail for me to understand your question and find your information. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
