How We Use Data

We use personal data to respond to inquiries, assess project scope, prepare quotes, coordinate product intake, review shot lists and references, manage approvals, carry out photography production, deliver edited files, process payments, maintain records, secure the site, and meet legal obligations. We may also use limited technical data to improve site reliability and understand how the site is used.

Processing is limited to the operational needs of the studio and website.

Service Providers

We may share personal data with service providers that support hosting, communications, file handling, payment processing, bookkeeping, or technical maintenance. These recipients may process data only for the services they provide to us and are expected to protect it appropriately.

Operational recipients are used only for defined business functions.

Legal Disclosures

We may disclose personal data where required to comply with law, court orders, lawful requests from public authorities, or to protect our rights, customers, or operations. We may also share information when necessary to investigate fraud, misuse, or security incidents.

Legal disclosures are limited to what is necessary in the circumstances.
