    Privacy Policy

    Last updated: October 24, 2026 · Tugye Inc.

    Tugye Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates Tugye Art Life, a nonprofit community creative studio in Bakersfield, CA. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, book a class or event, or contact us.

    Information We Collect

    When you book a class, reserve a spot, or contact us, we may collect: your name, email address, phone number, the class or event you’re interested in, your preferred date and time, and any messages you send us. If you make a payment online, payment processing is handled by our secure payment provider — we do not store your card details on this site.

    How We Use Your Information

    We use your information to confirm bookings, send appointment reminders, respond to your questions, process payments, and keep you informed about upcoming classes and events. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

    Text & SMS Messaging

    By providing your phone number and checking the consent box on our booking forms, you agree to receive text message reminders and updates from Tugye Art Life. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. For help, reply HELP or call us at (661) 374-4921. We will not send marketing messages without your explicit consent.

    Sharing & Service Providers

    We share your information with trusted service providers who help us run our studio — including our booking calendar, payment processing, and customer communication tools. These providers are bound by their own privacy obligations and only use your data to provide services on our behalf.

    Your Rights

    You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time. To exercise these rights or ask a question about your data, email us at mesha@tugyeartlife.com or call (661) 374-4921.

    Children’s Privacy

    We welcome creators of all ages. When a parent or guardian books a class on behalf of a minor, we collect the adult’s contact information. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without parental consent.
