Your privacy matters to us. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. Questions? Email [email protected].
This privacy policy sets out how Photo 8 ("we", "us") uses and protects any information you give us when you use this website. Photo 8 is a photography business based at 4 Huntley Court, Penrith, Cumbria, CA11 8NW. You can reach us at [email protected] or on 07977 111 073. We are committed to protecting your privacy: any information by which you can be identified is used only in accordance with this statement and UK data protection law (UK GDPR).
When you send an enquiry through our contact form we collect the details you provide — typically your name, email address, phone number, and the information about your event that you choose to share. When you book, we collect the information needed to fulfil and invoice the work. Like most websites, we also collect basic technical data (such as IP address and browser type) through analytics.
We use your information to respond to your enquiry, prepare a quote, plan and deliver your photography, and manage your booking and invoicing. We will only send you marketing if you have asked us to. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we will not pass it to third parties for their own marketing.
We only share your data with the service providers that help us run the business, and only as far as needed: our email and hosting providers (used to receive and reply to your enquiry and to serve this website), and — where relevant to your job — the photo-gallery platform we use to deliver your images. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and data-protection obligations. We may also disclose information where we are required to do so by law.
This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, non-identifying way (such as pages visited and how you arrived). You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when sites set them; some parts of the site may not work as smoothly if you do.
We are committed to keeping your information secure. We use suitable technical and organisational measures to guard against unauthorised access, loss or disclosure of the information we collect. The website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.
We keep enquiry and booking information only for as long as we need it — to answer your enquiry, deliver the work, and meet our legal and accounting obligations — after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Under UK GDPR you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to withdraw any consent you've given. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
