Privacy policy

This page explains, plainly, what data this website collects, why, who it's shared with, and how to ask me to delete it. It's written to be understood, not to protect me with fine print.

01Who I am

Wilson Escobar, stand-up comedian and tattoo artist, with a studio in the Miami area, Florida (United States). I'm responsible for the data collected on wilsonescobar.com.

For anything related to your data: contacto@wilsonescobar.com

02What data I collect, exactly

If you fill out the tattoo quote form

About your reference photos: if you choose to upload them, they're kept in private storage (Cloudflare R2) under a random link that's impossible to guess and marked so search engines never index it. They aren't published anywhere, only I see them, and they're used only to design and quote your tattoo. You can ask me to delete them whenever you want.

Following up on your quote: if you request a quote, I may email you a couple of times to see if you're still interested and, if you book, to remind you of your appointment two days before. If you reply that you're not interested, I won't write again.

If you join the "Parche VIP"

Name, email and, if you want, phone number. Nothing else. The Parche VIP is my comedy list: show dates and content that never hits social.

Automatically, while you browse

• Pages you visit and how long you stay
• Where you came from (Instagram, Google, a direct link…)
• Device type, browser and language
• Your IP address and approximate country

03What I DON'T collect

• I don't ask for payment details on the website. The $50 deposit is paid via Zelle, outside this site. I never see or store a card number.
• I don't collect health data. If we talk about allergies or skin conditions at your appointment, that stays between you and me, in person. It doesn't go through the website.
• I don't sell your data to anyone. Ever. Not now, and not if this website grows.
• I don't allow people under 18 to use the forms. If I find out I've received data from a minor, I delete it.

04Who it's shared with

I use third-party services to make the website work. Each one receives only what it needs.

Contact lists and ads: I may use my contact lists (email and phone, which Meta receives as an irreversible code) to show ads on Facebook and Instagram to existing customers or similar people. If you don't want to be on those lists, email me at contacto@wilsonescobar.com and I'll take you off.

The YouTube video doesn't load anything until you decide to watch it. That's on purpose.

05Cookies and storage

This website sets these cookies:

If you buy tickets in the Eventbrite window, Eventbrite may set its own cookies under its policy.

I also save a few technical markers in your browser that never travel to any server:

• weLang: the language you chose.
• wePre: so the intro animation plays only once per visit.
• weChatMsgs and weChatOpen: your conversation with the chat, only while your visit lasts.

And one more marker, weSrc: where you came from (for example, an ad or Instagram) and the first page you saw. It's kept for 30 days and only leaves your browser if you request a quote, together with it, so I know which channel works.

If you'd rather block all of this, you can delete your cookies or use your browser's private mode. The website works just the same.

06How long I keep your data

• Tattoo quotes: while there's an open conversation and up to 2 years after, in case you come back.
• Reference photos: up to 2 years along with your quote, or sooner if you ask me to delete them.
• Contacts on my email list (Parche VIP and quotes): until you unsubscribe. Every email includes a link to do it.
• Browsing data: the default periods set by Google and Meta (usually between 2 and 14 months).

07Your rights

Email me at contacto@wilsonescobar.com and I can:

• Tell you what data of yours I have
• Correct it if it's wrong
• Delete it completely
• Remove you from any list
• Send you a copy of what I have

I reply within 30 days. You don't need to explain why.

If you're writing from Europe or the United Kingdom, you also have your rights under the GDPR, including the right to file a complaint with your country's data protection authority.

08Security

The website runs on HTTPS. Your email, phone and name are turned into an irreversible code (SHA-256 hash) before they leave my server for Meta: neither Meta nor anyone else sees that data in plain text that way. Your IP and browser identifiers travel unhashed, because Meta needs them that way to measure ads. The access keys to the services live in the server's environment variables, not in the page's code.

That said: no system is infallible. If a breach affecting your data ever happened, I would tell you.

09Changes

If I change anything important, I update the date at the top. If the change affects how I use your data, I'll let you know by email if you're subscribed.
