In very basic terms, I totally respect your personal information and will only ask you for what information I really need from you. Will look after it in the same way I would want mine looking after, keeping it secure! I will only share it with others where I need their help me deliver our service to you (such as our professional printing laboratory who may need your name and address to post your purchases). Be assured that I will never share your information in any other circumstances – nor will I sell it on elsewhere! Here are more details:
Introduction
MOments by MO Preston Photography takes your privacy very seriously. This privacy policy has been prepared in line with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which promotes fairness and transparency for all individuals in respect of their personal data. This privacy policy applies to all data I process, and by using MOments by MO Preston Photography you consent to our collection and use of such data. If you would like to get in touch about anything in this policy or about your personal data then please contact me at info@momentsbymopreston.com.
What data do I collect?
As a data controller, I collect a variety of data in order to deliver my services, and I will manage your personal data transparently, fairly and securely. I may ask you to provide me the following data:
Full name, address, telephone number, special needs (e.g. mobility issues etc.). I will also record a date of birth for all persons I photograph under the age of 13 and require the parent or a legal guardian to consent to photography. Obviously being a photographic business I also create and manage images as per my contractual agreement(s). I collect this data on the following lawful basis: consent given upon reading the contract, and terms and conditions sent to you before a scheduled shoot. If you consent to marketing I will use your email address to contact you about upcoming events and offers, usually twice a year and no more than four times.
When you visit our website I also collect Cookies. These are small pieces of data that websites send to a user’s computer and are stored on the user’s web browser. They are designed to enable the website to remember information, such as what a user might have put in a shopping cart for example. This helps me a) to personalise your experience b) deliver our service to you and c) for marketing purposes.
Which third parties do I share Personal Data with?
I share personal data with the following third parties: Gmail, Bluehost and Pixieset, which are all GDPR compliant companies. Data is not transferred outside of the European Economic Area.
There are also certain situations in which I may share access to your personal data without your explicit consent; for example, if required by law, to protect the life of an individual, or to comply with any valid legal process, government request, rule or regulation.
Why do I share your Personal Data with the above?
I share your data in order to deliver my service to you and if consent is given, for marketing.
How do I keep your personal data secure?
I keep your data secure by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology when information is submitted online. In the unlikely event of a criminal breach of our security I will inform the relevant regulatory body within 72 hours and, if your personal data were involved in the breach, I will also inform you.
Changes to my privacy policy and control
I may change this privacy policy from time to time. When I do, I will let you know by changing the date on this policy, notifying customers of only significant changes. By continuing to access or use our services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised privacy policy.
You have the following rights:
- the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data
- the right of access to your personal data and any supplementary information
- the right to have any errors in your personal data rectified – the right to have your personal data erased – the right to block or suppressing the processing of your personal data
- the right to move, copy or transfer your personal data from one IT environment to another
- the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, and
- rights related to automated decision-making (i.e. where no humans are involved) and profiling (i.e. where certain personal data is processed to evaluate an individual).
I also give you the option to manage your data by emailing me at info@momentsbymopreston.com.
While I do not hold personal data any longer than I need to. The duration will depend on your relationship with me, and whether it is on going. I may keep some of your personal data for up to 7 years after my working contract with you have finished for HMRC legislation purposes. After this time, I will archive your photographs indefinitely along with your relevant details and consent forms. This is due to requests for replacement images being made several years after being taken and also to protect my ability to prove copyright.
