Privacy Policy

Here’s a tailored Privacy Policy for Big Dreams Studio, reflecting Connecticut law requirements and your specific business details. Please review carefully and consult a legal professional before publication.

Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 5, 2025

Big Dreams Studio ("we", "our", or "us") operates a tattoo parlor located in Connecticut, and we maintain this website. We are committed to protecting the privacy of visitors and clients, especially residents of Connecticut.

Big Dreams Studio operates in Connecticut and may process personal data of Connecticut residents. Under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA)—effective July 1, 2023—we must comply if we control or process the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or at least 25,000 consumers and derive more than 25% of gross revenue from selling personal data (Shipman - Homepage).
We do not sell personal data, and we do not engage in targeted advertising or profiling, so some CTDPA obligations may not apply.

• Name, email address, phone number
• Appointment, consultation, and payment details (including limited sensitive health information, such as allergies or medical conditions relevant to tattoo safety)

• Device information (browser, IP address, operating system) for site analytics and security
• Appointment history or site usage patterns

We may use cookies or similar technologies to improve user experience and site functionality. You may manage cookies via your browser settings.

We use your information to:

• Schedule and administer tattoo services
• Confirm appointments and process payments
• Provide customer support
• Improve our website and services

We do not process personal data for targeted advertising, sell personal data, or engage in automated profiling for decision-making.

We only share personal data with:

• Service providers (e.g., secure payment processors, appointment management software) under contract and confidentiality terms
  We do not share data with advertisers, marketing platforms, or third parties for tracking or data sales.

Our services are strictly for individuals 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.

• We collect only what is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary to provide services—as required by CTDPA’s data minimization principles (JD Supra, Shipman - Homepage, JD Supra).
• We maintain reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data (blog.focal-point.com).

Sensitive data—such as health conditions—is processed only when explicitly relevant and with your clear and informed consent. No data is collected through dark patterns, and consent is revocable (blog.focal-point.com).

If CTDPA applies, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data processed by us
• Correct inaccuracies
• Delete personal data we hold about you
• Obtain a portable copy of your data in usable format
• Opt out of processing for targeted advertising or sale of personal data (not applicable, since we do not engage in those activities)

You may exercise your rights by emailing info@bigdreamsstudio.com. We will verify your identity (e.g., by matching email or appointment details) and respond within CTDPA’s timeframe (generally 45 days) (terratruehq.com, CT Insider, CBIA). You may withdraw consent at any time—in which case we will cease processing within 15 days where relevant (blog.focal-point.com, CBIA).

We do not discriminate against individuals who exercise their rights.

We conduct internal assessments as needed, especially when processing sensitive data, though Big Dreams Studio does not engage in data sales, profiling, or targeted advertising that would trigger heightened-risk assessments under CTDPA.

Your personal data is retained only as long as needed to serve our purposes (e.g. appointment records, records for tax or regulatory compliance). After that, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

To ask questions or exercise your rights, contact us via:
Email: info@bigdreamsstudio.com

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The effective date at the top will reflect the last revision date. Please revisit this page periodically for updates.

Failure to comply with CTDPA may lead to enforcement by the Connecticut Attorney General under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA), with penalties of up to $5,000 per willful violation. A 60‑day cure period applies through December 31, 2024; after that, discretion lies with the Attorney General (CBIA, blog.focal-point.com, JD Supra, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett).

Big Dreams Studio is dedicated to protecting your privacy while providing high‑quality tattoo services in a safe, respectful environment. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
