2SCOPE

This policy covers information collected through our website, our booking request form, our payment links, our participant waiver form, our email communications, and your attendance at our studio. It does not cover third-party websites we link to.

3INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you send a booking request

Name, email address, phone number, class choice, preferred dates and times, any message you include, your confirmation that you are 18 or older, your confirmation that you have read our Refund & Cancellation Policy, and the date and time of submission.

When you pay for a class

Your name, email address, the amount and date of payment, and any billing details you enter on the payment page. Payment card details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor — we do not receive, store, or have access to your full card number.

When you complete your participant waiver

Name, email address, phone number, date of birth, workshop date, emergency contact name and phone number, health and allergy disclosures, your media consent choice, your electronic signature, and the IP address and timestamp of submission.

When you contact us

Name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.

When you sign up for email updates

Your email address and the date you subscribed, through the sign-up form on our website. If you tell us in person that you would like to receive email updates, we record your email address and the date you gave permission.

When you attend a workshop

We visually verify government-issued photo identification to confirm you are 18 or older. We do not photograph, scan, copy, or record your identification document or its number. We record only that identification was verified.

If you request an on-site guest parking permit, we collect your vehicle license plate number and submit it to the City of Miami Beach for permit registration.

When you use our website

IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring source, and similar analytics data collected through cookies and tracking technologies.

4SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Some of what we collect is more sensitive than ordinary contact details, and we treat it accordingly.

Health and allergy disclosures. Collected solely so we can accommodate you safely in a workshop involving hand tools, leather dust, dyes, adhesives, and finishing chemicals. Not used for marketing, never shared for any purpose other than your safety, and deleted on the schedule in Section 8.
Date of birth. Collected only to confirm you meet our 18+ eligibility requirement.
Emergency contact details. Collected so we can reach someone on your behalf in a medical emergency. This is information about a third party — by providing it, you confirm you have that person's permission.
Photographs and video. Captured only if you grant permission on your waiver. If you decline, we will not photograph or record you, including audio.

We are not a healthcare provider, and the health information you give us is not medical records. It is operational safety information.
