PRIVACY NOTICE

 

Last Updated: 30.12.2024

Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Notice explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. What Information Do I Collect?

I collect personal information you provide directly to me when you book a session, contact me, or use my services. This includes:

  • Your name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Mailing address

  • Information about your pet/s

I may also collect some information automatically when you visit my website, such as:

  • Your IP address

  • Browser type

  • General location

This helps me improve the website and ensure it works smoothly.

2. How Do I Use Your Information?

I use your personal information to:

  • Provide the services you’ve requested (e.g., booking and delivering photo sessions).

  • Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you.

  • Improve my services and website.

  • Comply with legal obligations.

I may also use your information for marketing purposes, but only if you’ve agreed to this.

3. What Legal Basis Do I Have for Processing Your Information?

I only process your information when it’s necessary and legally allowed, such as:

  • To fulfill a contract (e.g., delivering your photo session).

  • To comply with legal obligations.

  • With your consent (e.g., sending marketing emails).

4. How Do I Share Your Information?

I do not sell your personal information. However, I may share it with trusted third parties, such as:

  • Service providers who help me deliver my services (e.g., payment processors, print houses).

  • Legal or regulatory authorities, if required by law.

I ensure that anyone I share your information with handles it securely and only as necessary.

5. How Do I Keep Your Information Safe?

I use appropriate security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute protection.

6. How Long Do I Keep Your Information?

I only keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this notice or to comply with legal requirements.

7. Do I Collect Information from Minors?

No, my services are not directed at individuals under 18. I do not knowingly collect data from anyone under this age. If I learn that I’ve collected data from a minor, I’ll delete it.

8. Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information I hold about you.

  • Request corrections or updates to your information.

  • Ask me to delete your information, where legally allowed.

  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.

To exercise these rights, please contact me at Kate.appelt.pet.portraits@gmail.com

9. Do-Not-Track Features

Some browsers let you send a "Do-Not-Track" (DNT) signal. Currently, there’s no industry standard for recognizing or acting on DNT signals, so I do not respond to them.

10. Updates to This Notice

I may occasionally update this Privacy Notice to reflect changes in my practices or the law. When I do, I’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. I encourage you to check this page regularly for updates.
