Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Health conditions, medications, allergies, pregnancy and breastfeeding status, bleeding and healing conditions, and skin conditions disclosed in a booking request or on a consent form.

Bodily functions and measurements relating to the work: the location on your body being tattooed, the size of the piece, and photographs of that area of skin, including healed photographs you send afterwards.

The fact that you sought and received a tattoo, which is itself a health service under the act.

From you, directly: the booking form, the consent form, messages you send, and photographs you upload. No health data is bought, and none is collected from any other source.

To judge whether the work can be performed safely, to plan and perform it, to advise on aftercare, and to keep the signed consent record the state requires.

It is never sold. Selling consumer health data without valid authorization is prohibited by the act, and this studio does not do it.

It is processed by the service providers that run this site and its messaging, acting on the studio's instructions only.

Work is performed at Andromeda Ink, which holds the licensed premises. A copy of your signed consent record is kept in the shop's client file as the state requires, alongside the copy held here.

It is disclosed to a health authority, licensing inspector, or in response to a lawful legal request when required.

A signed consent record is a regulated client record. It is kept for at least 7 years after the appointment (WAC 308-22-070(3)), and it cannot be deleted before then even at your request.

You may confirm whether your consumer health data is being collected, shared, or sold, and see the list of third parties it has been shared with. You may withdraw your consent to its collection and sharing. You may ask for it to be deleted, and it will be deleted from the studio's records and from its service providers, other than the regulated portion of a signed consent record, which is redacted as soon as its retention period ends.
