I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Depending on the circumstances, your personal data is processed on one or more of the following legal bases under the GDPR:
Pre-contractual steps:
When you contact me to enquire about my services or request information about a potential booking, processing your data may be necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
Contractual necessity:
If you book my photography services, I may process your personal data where this is necessary to perform the contract.
Legal obligations:
I may process and retain certain information where this is necessary to comply with legal or accounting obligations.
Legitimate interests:
Where appropriate, I may process information where this is necessary for my legitimate business interests, provided that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
6. Who Has Access to Your Data?
Your personal data is treated as confidential.
I do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Where necessary to operate my business or comply with legal obligations, data may be accessible to service providers acting on my behalf, such as my website or email hosting provider. Such providers may only process personal data as necessary to provide their services.
7. International Data Transfers
I do not intentionally transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
If a service provider used by my business processes personal data outside the EEA in the future, I will ensure that appropriate safeguards required by applicable data protection law are in place.
8. How Long I Keep Your Data
I retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
For wedding enquiries that do not result in a booking, I will generally retain your information only for as long as reasonably necessary to manage your enquiry and any necessary follow-up.
For clients who book my services, relevant information may be retained for the duration of the contractual relationship and for as long as necessary to meet legal, accounting, administrative, or potential legal requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is processed.
Personal data should not be kept indefinitely; under the GDPR, retention should be limited to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.
