How We Use Data

We use personal data to respond to inquiries, assess product photography needs, prepare quotes and delivery plans, coordinate product intake, manage approvals, produce and deliver images, maintain records, process payments, operate the website, protect against misuse, and comply with legal obligations. We may also use limited technical data to improve site performance and maintain security.

Processing is limited to purposes connected with the website, studio operations, and legal compliance.

Service Providers and Partners

We may share personal data with service providers that support website hosting, communications, file storage, payment processing, or other operational tasks.

Operational partners receive only the information needed to perform their assigned function.

Cookie usage

Types of Cookies

We may use essential cookies to support security and core site functions, 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 purpose and technical design.

Cookie use is limited to operational and measurement purposes appropriate to a small business website.
User control

Cookie Controls

We use standard cookie controls to support site operation and basic analytics. Users may manage cookies through their browser or device settings, and where available through any on-site preference tools. Disabling certain cookies may affect form handling, session continuity, or other functions.

Browser settings can be used to limit or remove cookies, although some site functions may be affected.
User Rights

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, individuals may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion where retention is no longer justified. In some cases, we may also limit processing or object to certain uses, but these requests may be restricted by legal, contractual, or operational requirements.

Available rights depend on the nature of the data and the applicable legal basis for processing.
Requests

How to Make a Request

To protect privacy and prevent unauthorized disclosure, we may ask for information needed to verify a request and to locate the relevant records. If a request cannot be fully satisfied, we will explain the reason to the extent required by law.

Requests are reviewed before action is taken to confirm identity and scope.
Data Retention

Retention of Data

We keep personal data only for as long as needed to handle inquiries, manage bookings, complete production and delivery, maintain business records, or meet legal obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymize it, or archive it in a limited form where retention is necessary.

Retention depends on the purpose for which the information was collected and any legal or accounting requirement.
Policy Updates

Policy Updates

When we update this policy, we will post the revised version on the website and change the effective date where appropriate. If a change materially affects how we handle personal data, we may provide additional notice through the website or by direct communication where suitable.

This notice may be revised to reflect operational, technical, or legal changes.
