Consent
Where required, I rely on your consent, including:

For certain marketing communications, where applicable
In some situations involving the use of images, particularly where consent is the most appropriate lawful basis
ICO guidance says you should decide your lawful basis before processing and explain it in your privacy notice.
7. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies
My website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, understand usage, improve performance, and support marketing activities.
These may include:
Google Analytics
Google Tag Manager
Meta Pixel
These tools may collect information about how visitors use the site, which pages they visit, how they found the site, and the actions they take on the site.
Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, we will only use them where the appropriate consent has been obtained, where required by law. ICO guidance says you must tell users what cookies will be set, explain what they do, and obtain consent for non-essential cookies and similar technologies. It also says advertising purposes are not exempt from consent requirements.
For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.
8. Contact Forms and Website Enquiries
Our website may include multiple enquiry, contact, or request forms with different fields depending on the purpose of the form.
We collect the information you choose to submit through those forms in order to:
respond to your message
provide the information or service requested
manage potential bookings or projects
keep a record of communications and enquiries
Please do not submit sensitive personal data through website forms unless it is necessary and specifically requested.
9. Galleries and Image Delivery
We may provide online galleries through our own systems or website areas for proofing, viewing, selecting, sharing, or downloading photographs.
When you use a gallery, we may process:
your name and contact details
login or access information
gallery usage activity
download history
image selections, favourites, and related interactions
We use this information to operate and secure the gallery, provide access to images, and manage the delivery of our services.
10. Use of Photographs for Portfolio and Marketing
As a photography business, we may wish to use selected photographs for purposes such as:
displaying work on our website
showing examples in our portfolio
posting on social media
promoting our services in marketing materials
Where photographs include identifiable individuals, we will only do this where we consider we have an appropriate lawful basis and it is fair and lawful to do so in the circumstances.
Depending on the type of shoot and the arrangement with the client, this may be based on:
an agreed contractual term
legitimate interests, where appropriate
consent, where this is the most suitable basis
Any permissions, restrictions, or usage terms agreed with a client will normally be recorded separately in the relevant client contract, booking terms, model release, or written agreement.
Yes, this bit matters. Quite a lot. Humans get oddly animated when their face appears online without the right paperwork.
11. Marketing Communications
We may use your contact details to respond to your enquiry or communicate with you about services you have requested.
We will not send marketing emails or similar electronic marketing where consent is required unless that consent has been obtained, or unless another lawful route applies under PECR and data protection law. ICO guidance says PECR sits alongside UK GDPR and uses the UK GDPR standard of consent.
You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time by contacting moc.yhpargotohpneergevad@evad.
12. Sharing Your Personal Data
We may share personal data where necessary with trusted third parties such as:
website hosting providers
analytics and tag management providers

email and communication providers
IT and website support providers
cloud storage providers
payment processors
accountants, insurers, and professional advisers
legal and regulatory authorities where required
We require third parties processing personal data on our behalf to respect the security of your personal data and process it lawfully.
13. International Transfers
Some of the third-party services we use, including analytics, tracking, cloud, and communication providers, may process personal data outside the UK.
Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, in accordance with applicable data protection law.
14. How Long We Keep Your Data
We will only keep personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for legal, accounting, insurance, security, and record-keeping purposes.
The ICO says there are no fixed retention periods in data protection law. You must justify the period you choose and should not keep data on a “just in case” basis.
Unless a different period is required or justified, we may typically keep personal data as follows:
general enquiries: up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact
client booking and project records: up to 7 years after the end of the relevant financial year, for tax, accounting, insurance, and business record purposes
gallery access records and download logs: up to 24 months after the gallery is closed or expires
photographs and delivered project files: for as long as reasonably necessary for the original service, archival reference, backup, dispute handling, and portfolio records
analytics and tracking data: according to the configuration and retention settings of the relevant platform
marketing suppression records: as long as needed to make sure we respect opt-out requests
We may keep data for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or maintain appropriate business records.
15. Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
16. Your Rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
request access to your personal data
request correction of inaccurate personal data
request erasure of your personal data
request restriction of processing
object to processing
request transfer of your data, where applicable
withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the basis for processing

17. Complaints
If you have concerns about how we use your personal data, please contact us first and we will try to resolve the issue.
