Cookie Usage & Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in my website. You can use my website without the need to provide any personal data if you wish, however if you are looking to purchase any photography services, the processing of personal data will become necessary.

PRIVACY POLICY & GDPR COMPLIANCE

This policy sets out how and why I collect your personal information, how it is processed and how it is kept secure. By using this website or engaging with me to provide any photographic services, you are agreeing to this privacy policy.

Any and all personal data captured will be in line with the GDPR and any UK data protection regulations.

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING

Kaz Davies Photography is the controller of data that passes through this website and/or via email. This data is kept private between me and the few other carefully selected data processors, which I have set out below.

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 on encrypted hard drives, in order to provide the photographic services that you have hired me for.

I keep your photographs for as long 2 years. After this time the photographs are permanently deleted from the hard drives, as it is physically impossible to keep everything, due to size of the photographs. If you would like me to remove your photographs from my hard disks and backups after I have delivered your full gallery, I will do so, if you send me an email confirming your request.

When you make a wedding booking with me, I also collect a small amount of personal detail about you, your wedding party and the other wedding suppliers at your wedding, which may be Names, phone numbers, email addresses and social media links.

I may also post photos from your wedding in a variety of places including my website, wedding blogs and on social media. This is detailed in my terms and conditions which you will receive and are asked to sign at the time of booking with me. Should you or any member of your wedding party not wish to be included in this, please let me know by email.

I never capture or hold credit or debit card numbers.

Right Of Confirmation, Access, Rectification And Erasure
You have the right to confirmation, access, rectification and erasure of all the data that I hold on you. For example, if you wish to see the initial contact form you submitted and check it for accuracy, or perhaps following your wedding you’d like to have your details completely removed, then you have that right.

Use Of Your Data
I will use the data you provided me with to communicate with you about your wedding or family photography shoot, sometimes I also like to inform you of any discounts I may have for products or other photography-related communication.

Your data is never shared with anyone else. On the occasion that you have booked a second photographer via myself to attend the wedding, they will receive an itinerary of the day and the emergency contact details in case they need it. This is in paper and email form and will be deleted after the event.
