Data We Collect

We may process contact details, inquiry content, project requirements, product counts, shot lists, reference materials, booking records, payment-related information, gallery access data, communication history, and technical data such as device and browser information. Where relevant, we also process image files and related metadata needed to plan, produce, review, and deliver photography services.

The data collected depends on the inquiry, booking, and delivery steps used.
Collection Source

How We Collect Data

We receive personal data from website forms, email, phone calls, planning calls, booking communications, file uploads, gallery interactions, and payment or delivery steps. We may also generate limited technical and administrative data from the operation of the website and service workflow.

Most data comes directly from the person making the inquiry or booking.
Cookie Types

We may use essential cookies to support site operation, preference cookies to remember basic settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Cookies may be session-based or persistent, depending on their function.

Cookie use is limited to standard operational and analytical purposes.

User Rights

Your Rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights to access your data, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, object to certain processing, and ask for restriction or portability in limited cases. Some requests may be declined where we must keep data for legal, contractual, or security reasons.

Available rights may vary depending on the legal basis and local law.
Requests

Submitting Requests

To exercise a privacy right, provide enough information for us to identify the relevant record and assess the request. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will handle the request within the period required by applicable law or explain why more time is needed.

Requests are reviewed before action is taken to protect data security.
Data Retention

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the relevant inquiry, booking, delivery, accounting, dispute handling, or legal compliance purpose. When data is no longer required, it is deleted, anonymized, or archived in a limited form where retention is still necessary.

Retention depends on the purpose for which the data was collected and any legal duty to keep it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, processing practices, or legal requirements. The revised version will apply from the date it is made available unless a different effective date is stated.
