Privacy Policy

SMP Dublin is the data controller for this website. Our address is Tallaght Ink Tattoo & Piercing Studio, Tallaght Retail Centre, Unit 3, High St, Dublin 24, Ireland. You can contact us by email at scalpsmpdublin@gmail.com or by phone on +353 851 108 420.

This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this website, why we collect it, who we share it with and what your rights are. It applies under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.

When you send the consultation form we collect the details you type in: your name, phone number, email address, the service you choose and your message. We use them only to reply to your enquiry and to arrange a consultation.

The form is sent by email to our business inbox through Resend, an email delivery service. A copy of each enquiry is also saved in a private Google Sheet that we keep as a backup of enquiries. We do not send you an automatic reply, and we do not use your details for marketing unless you ask us to.

We keep enquiries for as long as we need them to deal with your request and to keep a record of our dealings with you, and then delete them.

The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile and a hidden field that only automated programs fill in. Turnstile checks that a real person is sending the form, and it may process technical information about your browser and connection to do so. This is covered by the Cloudflare privacy policy.

If you message us on WhatsApp, Instagram or by phone, the company that runs that service handles your message under its own privacy policy. We receive only what you send us, and we use it to reply to you.

This website uses a cookie-free page-view counter run by RankShark. It records only the page address, the page or site that referred you and any campaign tag in the link. It sets no cookies. Your IP address is used only for a moment to block abuse and is never stored.

This website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use it, for example which pages are viewed and how long a visit lasts. Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga) and processes technical information such as your IP address, browser, device type and the pages you visit. It loads only on www.smpdublin.ie, when you first tap, scroll or press a key, or a few seconds after a page loads, and Google handles this information under its own privacy policy.

Apart from Google Analytics, this website does not set cookies of its own. Your choice of light or dark theme is remembered in your browser storage on your own device and is not sent to us. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

Some content on this website is supplied by other services and loads only when you scroll to it or press play on it. Our Instagram feed is shown through Fouita. The Google preferred source button is supplied by Google. Each of these services may receive your IP address and technical information about your browser when it loads, and handles it under its own privacy policy.

The address of our clinic is a link to Google Maps. No map is loaded on this website, and Google receives nothing until you open the link.

This website is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request in order to deliver the website securely.

We share personal information only with the service providers named in this policy, and only so that they can do their job for us. We do not sell your personal information. Some of these providers are based outside the European Economic Area and rely on approved safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

You have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable format. To use any of these rights, email us at the address above and we will reply within one month.

If you are not happy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland at dataprotection.ie.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
