Data Which I Retain
When visitors make contact via my website to enquire about my services, I capture their names, phone numbers and email address to respond to the enquiry.
Once your event has passed, I take and store photographs from your event, in order to provide the photographic services that you have hired me for.
I keep a number of copies of edited photographs for as long as the hard disks they are stored on are functional in order to provide copies in case of loss though this is not a guaranteed storage service and should not be relied upon. If you have been supplied digital files you should maintain your own back-ups.
I also collect a small amount of personal details about you, your wedding party and the other wedding suppliers at your wedding, which may include names; phone numbers; email addresses and social media links.
I may also post your photographs in a variety of places such as my website, blogs and social media which is done for legitimate interest. Should you not wish to be included in this, please let me know by email.
