1. Introduction
Sunstone Studio (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the sunstonepj.app platform, a business management tool for permanent jewelry service providers. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information obtained from users of our platform (service providers) and their end consumers (customers).
By using Sunstone Studio or interacting with a business that uses our platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
From service providers (account holders):
- Account information: name, email address, phone number, business name, and business details

3. SMS/Text Messaging
We facilitate text message communications between service providers and their customers through our platform. The following applies to SMS/text messaging services:

- Message types: Queue position updates, service-ready notifications, digital receipts, aftercare instructions, appointment reminders, follow-up messages, and promotional messages (if separately consented).
- Message frequency: Varies by interaction. Transactional messages typically range from 1–5 messages per service visit. Marketing or follow-up messages are sent at the discretion of the service provider, subject to applicable regulations.
- Message and data rates: Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
- Opt-out: You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message received from our platform. You will receive a confirmation message and no further texts will be sent.
- Help: For assistance with text messages, reply HELP to any message or contact us at support@sunstonepj.app.
- No sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share phone numbers or SMS consent data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
- Not required for purchase: Providing SMS consent is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services.
