I respect your privacy and aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
1. Information I Collect
I only collect personal information when you choose to provide it.
This may include:
Your name
Your email address
Your location, if relevant to an enquiry
Information you include in a message or enquiry
Your billing and delivery details when you make a purchase
I do not collect personal information for advertising or mailing lists.
2. How I Use Your Information
I use the information you provide only where necessary to:
Respond to your enquiry
Provide a quote or discuss photography work
Arrange and carry out a commission, portrait or event
Process and fulfil an order
Communicate with you about an enquiry, booking or purchase
Meet any legal, tax or accounting obligations
Where you contact me about photography work or make a purchase, your information is generally processed because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to fulfil our agreement.
Some information may also need to be retained where I have a legal obligation to do so.
3. Payments and Service Providers
This website is hosted by Squarespace.
If you make a purchase, information required to process your order may be handled by Squarespace and the payment provider used at checkout.
I do not receive or store your full payment card details.
Information may also be shared with delivery or other service providers where this is necessary to complete your order or provide the service you have requested.
Squarespace may process personal information outside the UK. Where this happens, Squarespace states that appropriate legal safeguards are used for international transfers.
4. Cookies
I have restricted non-essential cookies on this website and do not use cookies for advertising or behavioural tracking.
Squarespace may still use cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to operate properly, including functions such as security, navigation, shopping and checkout.
Because non-essential cookies are restricted, there is no cookie consent banner on this website.
5. How Long I Keep Your Information
I keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was provided.
Enquiry information is kept only as long as necessary to respond to or progress the enquiry, unless it becomes part of a booking or business record.
Order, transaction and business records may be retained for longer where required for legal, tax or accounting purposes.
6. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:
Ask for a copy of the personal information I hold about you
Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
Ask for your information to be deleted in certain circumstances
Ask for the use of your information to be restricted in certain circumstances
Object to certain uses of your information
If you would like to make a request or have a question about your information, please contact:
You also have the right to raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
