Privacy Policy
This website is operated by Photography by Audrey.
I respect Your privacy. This Privacy Policy is designed to explain how I collect, use, share, and protect the personal information You provide to me when You access my website, purchase my goods or services, or engage with me on social media, as well as Your own rights to the information I collect.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. I will alert You to any changes to this Policy by changing the “last updated” date at the top of this Policy. Any changes become effective immediately upon publication on my website. I encourage You to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
INFORMATION THAT I COLLECT
I collect a variety of information from You when You visit my website, make purchases, or interact with me on social media. By accepting this Privacy Policy, You are specifically consenting to my collection and use of the data described below.
PERSONAL DATA
Personal Data is information that can be used to identify You specifically, including Your name, shipping address, email address, telephone number, or demographic information. You provide this voluntarily when booking a session or signing up for a gallery.
DERIVATIVE DATA
Derivative data is information that my servers automatically collect about You when You access my website, such as Your IP address, browser type, and the specific pages You view. This may also include data collected by third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics.
FINANCIAL DATA
Financial data is related to Your payment method. I store limited financial data. Most financial data is transferred to my payment processors, such as Stripe, PayPal, or Pixieset (via their integrated payment gateways). You should review these processors’ Privacy Policies to determine how they protect Your data.
WEBSITE ANALYTICS
I use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use my website. Google Analytics uses cookies to track data such as the popularity of content and online activity. I do not transfer personal information to Google. You can opt-out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
HOW I USE YOUR INFORMATION
I use Your information to:
- Deliver photo galleries and print orders (primarily via Pixieset);
- Correspond with You regarding bookings and sessions;
- Process payments or refunds;
- Interact with You via social media;
- Analyze trends to improve my website and photography offerings.
WHY I DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
I may share Your information with third parties in certain situations, specifically:
Third-Party Processing: I disclose Your information to third parties who assist me with payment processing, gallery hosting (Pixieset), website hosting, and email delivery. I do not authorize them to use Your personal information except in connection with providing me with their services.
By Law: I may share Your data as required by law or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others.
TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
I use log files and cookies to analyze trends and improve Your experience. Cookies allow me to recognize Your preferences and ensure your private gallery remains secure while you are viewing it.
DATA RETENTION
I retain personal data as long as it is needed to conduct my business purposes—for example, I maintain Your images in Pixieset galleries so that You can access and download them. I will honor Your request to delete Your data unless I am required by law to retain it.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
I take all reasonable steps to protect Your personal data and use recognized secure payment systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee complete security of information You transmit to me.
CHILDREN
I do not knowingly solicit personal data from anyone under age 16. If You become aware that I have collected data of anyone under the age of 16 without parental consent, please contact me so that I may delete that data.
