Health Information

Because tattooing involves a procedure affecting the skin, Lisney Tattoo may ask you to provide health information before your appointment. This information is used only to assess whether tattooing is safe and appropriate, protect your health and safety, protect staff and studio safety, keep an appropriate consent and treatment record, and support aftercare where needed.

Microsoft Bookings And Microsoft Forms

Lisney Tattoo uses Microsoft Bookings to manage appointments and Microsoft Forms to collect pre-appointment information, including consent and health declarations where required. Where identification is required, Lisney Tattoo may ask clients to provide identifying details within the form itself.

Who We Share Your Information With

• Microsoft 365 services, including Microsoft Bookings and Microsoft Forms, for booking administration, questionnaire completion, appointment records, and related business processing.
• Payment providers or banks, where needed to process deposits or payments.
• Website hosting, website form, or IT support providers.
• Professional advisers such as accountants, insurers, or solicitors where necessary.
• Public authorities, law enforcement, regulators, or insurers where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary for legal claims or compliance.

Lisney Tattoo does not sell your personal information.

How Long We Keep Your Information

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including record-keeping, legal, insurance, safety, and business administration purposes.

• Enquiries that do not become bookings, up to 12 months.
• Booking records, up to 6 years after the appointment.
• Consent and health forms, up to 6 years after the appointment.
• Payment records, up to 6 years or longer where tax law requires.
• Portfolio images, until no longer needed or until consent is withdrawn where consent is relied on.

Security

Reasonable steps are taken to keep personal information secure and to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure. This includes restricting access to client information to those who need it, using password-protected systems where possible, and using established service providers for email, bookings, forms, and website tools.

International Transfers

Some service providers may store or process personal information outside the UK. Where that happens, appropriate safeguards are expected to be used in line with applicable data protection law and provider terms.

• Request access to your personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion in some circumstances.
