3. Google Analytics, Cookies, and Website Usage

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to help measure website activity.

My website may use additional cookies necessary for website functionality. If additional analytics, advertising, or tracking tools are introduced, this policy may be updated accordingly.
4. How I Share Your Information
I do not sell your personal information.
I may share information with third-party service providers when necessary to operate my business and provide my services. These providers may include:
Website hosting and website platform providers.
Google Analytics and website performance services.
Email and communication service providers.
Client management, scheduling, contract, and invoicing platforms.
External payment processors.
ShootProof, which I use to deliver and manage client photography galleries.
Professional advisers or government authorities when disclosure is required by law.
These providers may process information on my behalf or according to their own applicable privacy policies and terms.
I may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to enforce agreements, protect my rights, prevent fraud, address security concerns, or comply with legal requirements.
5. Photographs, Portfolio Use, and Social Media
I may use photographs created during sessions for my portfolio, website, blog, social media, publications, or promotional materials, subject to the applicable client agreement and any required authorization or consent.
The use of photographs for delivering your purchased photography services is separate from their use for public display or promotion. Booking a session or receiving a private gallery does not, by itself, mean that your photographs may be published publicly.
If you have questions about the permissions associated with your photographs, please contact me.
6. Private Online Galleries
Client photographs may be delivered through ShootProof, a third-party online gallery service. Depending on the gallery settings, access may be protected by a password or other access controls.
You are responsible for keeping your gallery access details secure and sharing them only with people you trust. Anyone who gains access to your gallery may be able to view or download photographs, depending on the settings.
Gallery availability and image retention periods may vary according to the terms communicated for your session. After a gallery expires, photographs may be archived or deleted in accordance with my business practices and applicable agreements.
ShootProof may collect and process personal information in connection with its services under its own policies. Please review ShootProof's website for information about its services and applicable privacy terms.

I do not control the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. If you follow an external link, I encourage you to review the privacy policy of that website or service.
8. Data Retention
I retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide my services, maintain business records, fulfill contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable legal requirements.
Client contracts, invoices, communications, and photographs may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose and the applicable agreement.
When information is no longer needed, I may delete it, archive it, or take other reasonable steps to dispose of it securely, subject to legal and business recordkeeping requirements.
9. Data Security
I take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no website, online service, email transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. I cannot promise absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.
