The Exclave takes privacy of your personal data as seriously as the archiving of your personal stories. This document outlines how we collect, utilise, and safeguard the information you entrust to us through our digital registry and studio operations.

1. Collection of Archival Information

When you submit a Story Brief via our online Registry, we collect specific personal identifiers required to process your commission. This includes:

* Identity Data: Full name, contact number, and email address.

* Narrative Data: Personal stories, literary references, and concept descriptions.

* Anatomical Data: Description of body placement(s) for permanent tattoos.

2. Utilisation of Data

Your data is utilised strictly within the creative ecosystem of this studio. We use your information to:

* Review, filter, and curate incoming design commissions.

* Communicate administrative updates regarding your scheduled sessions.

* Process authorised payments for bespoke illustrations, deposits, and merchandise.

* Deliver priority emails (via the mailing list subscription “The Ledger”) regarding booking updates, guestwork opportunities and product releases (only if explicitly opted-in).

3. Data Preservation and Security

Your personal narratives and contact details are stored securely. We enforce strict digital and administrative protocols to protect your files from unauthorized access, leakage, or alteration. We do not sell, rent, or distribute your personal details or narratives to any third-party corporate entities.

4. Intellectual Property and Digital Display

By submitting a narrative brief for a tattoo or commercial project, you acknowledge that the final visual interpretation is an original artistic asset created by The Exclave. Photographs of completed work on skin, paper, digital methods or commercial merchandise may be archived publicly on our digital platforms for portfolio representation unless a prior non-disclosure agreement is requested and signed.

5. Your Statutory Rights

In accordance with the Singapore PDPA, you retain the absolute right to access, amend, or request the complete erasure of your personal data from our central registry at any moment. For data inquiries, please file an official request via email.
