If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you the right to request information about the categories of personal information we collect, the categories of third parties with whom we share that information, and to request deletion of your personal information. In the past 12 months, we have collected identifiers (such as name, email, and phone), commercial information (such as booking details), and internet activity data (such as cookies). We disclose this information only to service providers for business purposes. We do not sell personal information.

Your Rights
We ask that you do not submit sensitive personal data (e.g., health information, religious beliefs, or government identifiers) through our website, contracts, or social media. If you provide such data, you consent to its processing as described in this Policy.
Sensitive Data
Our website and services are not intended for individuals under the age of 16 (or under 13 where applicable under U.S. law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors without parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us to request deletion.
Minors
Despite these measures, no system is entirely secure. Transmission of data over the internet involves inherent risks, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach occurs that is likely to pose a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay and in compliance with applicable law.

We take reasonable steps to safeguard your data, including:
Security of Your Information
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and to comply with legal requirements.
Business records such as invoices and contracts are kept for up to seven years to meet tax and accounting obligations.
Photo galleries are typically hosted through Pixieset for 12 months after delivery unless otherwise stated in your contract. You will be notified before permanent deletion.
Data Retention
Our website and service providers are primarily hosted in the United States. If you are located outside the U.S., your data may be transferred internationally.
For transfers from the European Economic Area (EEA) or other regions with data protection laws, we rely on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms to ensure your personal information remains protected.
International Data Transfers
These providers may rely on additional sub-processors (e.g., cloud hosting providers). We ensure they adhere to equivalent privacy and security standards.
Contract and invoicing platforms to manage bookings and agreements.
Payment processors (PCI-DSS compliant) for secure financial transactions.
