Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

Russell Captures Photography (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our clients (“you” or “your”). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our photography services, website, and online galleries hosted through Pixieset.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information to provide and deliver our photography services. This includes:

• Personal Details: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address provided during booking or inquiry.

• Photography Session Details: Preferences, locations, and other session-related information provided through intake forms.

• Payment Information: If applicable, payment details are processed securely through third-party platforms. We do not store payment information.

• Online Gallery Access: We collect information regarding who accesses the gallery through password-protected links.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Communicate with you regarding your session, gallery, and related services.

• Deliver digital and printed photos through our online gallery platform, Pixieset.

• Improve our services and website.

• Maintain security and ensure the privacy of your images.

3. Online Gallery Privacy

• All online galleries are password protected, and the password is only shared with you, the client. You may share this password with whomever you choose.

• Galleries will only be publicly visible on our website if you have explicitly granted permission in the intake questionnaire.

• Galleries are hosted for the duration specified in your contract. After this period, the gallery may be removed unless otherwise agreed.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information and photos, including:

• Secure password protection for online galleries.

• Encrypted storage and transfer of digital files.

• Limited access to personal information by authorized personnel only.

While we implement industry-standard measures to safeguard your data, no system can be entirely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services, including Pixieset, to host online galleries and deliver photos. These platforms have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.

• Request correction or deletion of your personal data.

• Withdraw consent for image usage on our website or marketing materials.

7. Limitation of Liability

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your privacy, you agree that we are not liable for any unintended usage, distribution, or privacy breaches once the gallery has been shared.
