Information collected automatically


When you use our website, we may collect information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, such as:


  • Device and browser information


  • IP address


  • Pages you view and how you interact with the site


  • Approximate location (based on IP)


We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our website, and Google Ads to advertise our services and measure the performance of our ads.

We use your personal information to:


  • Respond to enquiries and communicate with you


  • Provide quotes and confirm availability


  • Arrange and deliver photography services


  • Send contracts and invoices


  • Take payments (where applicable)

Our lawful bases for processing (UK GDPR)


Under the UK GDPR, we process personal data on the following lawful bases:


  • Contract: where we need your information to provide photography services, contracts and booking administration.


  • Legitimate interests: to respond to enquiries, run and improve our business, and market our services in a proportionate way.


  • Legal obligation: where we must keep records for tax/accounting or other legal requirements.


  • Consent: where required for certain cookies/technologies (managed via our cookie banner).


Payments


We primarily accept payment by bank transfer (BACs). We may also accept PayPal as a back-up payment method.


When you pay via PayPal, PayPal acts as an independent controller for some of your information and processes your data in accordance with their own privacy policy.


We do not store full payment card details on our website.


Cookies and tracking


We use cookies and similar technologies to help our website work properly and to understand how it’s used.


Our cookie banner allows you to manage your cookie preferences. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.


Google Analytics


Google Analytics helps us measure website traffic and usage (for example, which pages are most popular). Google may process data on our behalf as a processor.


Google Ads


Google Ads helps us advertise our services and understand which ads lead to enquiries. This may involve the use of cookies or similar identifiers.


Who we share your information with


We only share your personal information when necessary, for example with:


  • Pixieset (our website, enquiry forms, client management and online galleries)


  • Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads)


  • PayPal (if you choose to pay via PayPal)


  • Professional advisers where needed (for example, accountants)


We do not sell your personal information.


International transfers


Some of the services we use (such as Pixieset, Google and PayPal) may process personal information outside the UK.


Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (for example, the use of recognised transfer mechanisms and contractual protections).


How long we keep your information


We keep personal information only for as long as necessary.


Typically:


  • Enquiries: kept for a reasonable period so we can respond, follow up, and keep basic business records.


  • Client bookings: kept for as long as needed to deliver services and manage our records, and then for longer where required for tax/accounting purposes.


If you’d like more detail about our retention periods, you can contact us.

Under UK data protection law, you have rights including:


  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you


  • The right to request correction of inaccurate data


  • The right to request deletion of your data (in certain situations)


  • The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests


  • The right to withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
