Privacy Policy

Information I collect

Information you give me. When you fill out the contact form I collect what you put in it: your name, your email address, the subject if you add one, and your message. If we carry on by email afterwards, I keep that correspondence so I can pick up where we left off.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the server keeps basic technical logs, including IP addresses, which pages were requested and what kind of browser asked, to keep the site working and secure.

How I use it

To confirm I got your message, reply to you, answer your questions, arrange and photograph a session, and follow up afterwards.

How it is shared

I do not sell or rent your information.

A few service providers handle it in the course of their job: the companies that host and deliver the site, the service that sends the contact form’s emails, my email provider, and the company that maintains the website. They act on my instructions and for no other purpose.

I may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect someone’s safety or rights.

Tracking

Nothing on this site tracks you across other websites, so it does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals.

How long it is kept

I keep what you send only as long as I need it to answer you and do the work, and for as long as my own records require afterwards.

Your choices

You can ask to see what I hold about you, correct it, have it deleted, or ask me to stop contacting you. Email the address below and I will take care of it. There is no form to fill in and you do not have to give a reason.

Children’s privacy

This website is meant for adults and I do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Where I photograph children, I do so at the request of a parent or guardian, and the photographs are handled under the agreement made with them.

Photographs on this site

The photographs here are published with the agreement of the people in them. If you are pictured and would rather not be, email me and I will take it down. You do not need to explain why.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version appears here with a new date at the top.
