Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and what rights you have over your information.
Who We Are
Mavik Tattoo & Fine Art is an independent art studio based in British Columbia, Canada.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile image (if applicable) may be visible publicly next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, in a contact form or testimonial submission), please avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images displayed online.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page (if applicable), a temporary cookie checks whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, additional cookies save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen option cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish a page or post, an additional cookie will store the post ID of the content you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles).
Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other site directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, or monitor your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We may also use trusted third-party services (such as hosting, analytics, and booking tools like Simply Schedule Appointments) to operate the website securely. These providers only receive the data necessary to perform their functions and are required to keep it confidential.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-ups automatically.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To make a request, email murals@mavikart.com.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Form submissions and booking requests are processed through secure third-party systems, including Simply Schedule Appointments and email providers, for scheduling and communication purposes.
