Our Legal Bases
We process personal information where it is necessary to respond to your request, enter into or fulfil a contract, comply with a legal obligation, pursue our legitimate business interests, or where you have given consent.
Photographs
Photographs are created and processed as part of providing our photography services. We will seek appropriate permission before using identifiable client photographs for promotional purposes, such as on our website, portfolio or social media. You may withdraw promotional consent by contacting us, although this will not affect use that took place before consent was withdrawn.

Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share relevant information with trusted service providers that help us operate our business, including website hosting, email, online gallery, cloud storage, payment and accounting providers. We only share information where necessary and expect service providers to protect it appropriately.
Some providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by data-protection law.
How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including fulfilling contracts, maintaining business and tax records, resolving queries and protecting legal rights. Photographs and galleries may be retained in accordance with our client agreement and normal backup procedures.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
