I will not sell your personal information.
Under UK data protection law, I must have a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, I may rely upon:
Contract
Where processing is necessary to provide a quote, enter into a photography agreement or provide services you have booked.
Legitimate interests
Where it is reasonably necessary to operate and improve my business, respond to enquiries, maintain appropriate records, protect my business or communicate with existing and prospective clients.
Legal obligation
Where I am required to retain or process information to comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.
Consent
Where consent is required for a particular activity, such as certain marketing communications or non-essential website cookies.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Wedding photography naturally involves capturing images of the couple, guests, suppliers and other people attending the wedding.
Photographs are processed as part of providing the photography services requested by my clients.
Where I wish to use photographs for purposes beyond delivering your photography service, such as portfolio, website, social media, advertising or promotional purposes, this will be handled in accordance with the photography agreement and applicable data protection requirements.
My website may use Planellio to securely manage enquiries, quotations, bookings, client information and client portal services.
Information you submit through an enquiry form may therefore be processed through Planellio so that I can respond to your enquiry and manage your relationship with Sue’s Special Days Photography.
Where electronic payment services are offered, payment information may be processed by the relevant payment provider.
I do not need to receive or store your complete payment card details where these are handled securely by the payment provider.
Payment providers operate under their own privacy and security obligations.
This website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to operate.
With your permission, I may also use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website and help improve it.
Non-essential cookies will be handled in accordance with applicable UK privacy requirements.
More information can be found in my Cookie Policy.
I may share personal information with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate my business or provide your photography service.
These may include providers of:
• Website hosting
• Business and client management systems
• Email services
• Payment processing
• Accounting services
• Cloud storage and data backup
• Website analytics
• Professional or legal services where required
I only share information where there is a legitimate reason to do so and only the information reasonably necessary for that purpose.
I may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Some technology providers may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by UK data protection law.
I only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
The appropriate retention period will depend on the type of information and may take into account:
• The duration of our client relationship
• The need to provide ongoing access to photography or client services
• Tax and accounting requirements
• Contractual obligations
• Legal limitation periods
• The need to resolve disputes or protect legal rights
Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted, anonymised or otherwise disposed of where appropriate.
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Where third-party systems are used to process information, I select services appropriate for the nature of the information being processed and the services being provided.
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:
• Request access to your personal information
• Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Request restriction of processing
• Object to certain processing
• Request transfer of your information where applicable
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and the lawful basis under which information is being processed.
To exercise your rights, contact:
If you have concerns about how I handle your personal information, please contact me first so that I have an opportunity to address them.
You also have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection.
