LET'S TALK PLAIN....

Legally there are things we have to include here we are also aware you won't want to read pages of waffle and legal talk so the bits in purple are a summary of the legal bits below.

What information do you collect from me and how?

Your visit to our site will automatically give us information such as your IP address, browser type & computer type. This is simply used for us to see how many people are using our site and the most popular device used. This means we can make the site as easy for you to use as possible and fix any navigation problems people may be having on certain devices. 

Your name, email, address, telephone number and the school your child attends are only seen by us if you enter them into one of our forms or when you create an account for our gallery. While we do use this information to stay in touch we keep it relevant with email reminders about your gallery and any offers the company is running. We wouldn't give your email out to anyone else and if you want us to delete your information at any time you simply have to ask via helen@helenboydphotography.co.uk

International data transfers

Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy. Information which you provide may be transferred to countries (including the United States) which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Economic Area. In addition, personal information that you submit for publication on the blog (e.g. comments) will be published on the internet and may be available, via the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others. You expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.

Using your personal information

Personal information submitted to us via this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.

We may use your personal information to:

(a) administer the website;

(b) improve your browsing experience by personalising the website;

(c) enable your use of the services available on the website;

(d) send to you goods purchased via the website, and supply to you services purchased via the website;

(e) send statements and invoices to you, and collect payments from you;

(f) send you general (non-marketing) commercial communications;

(g) send you email notifications which you have specifically requested;

(h) send to you our newsletter and other marketing communications relating to our business which we think may be of interest to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology (you can inform us at any time if you no longer require marketing communications)

(i) provide third parties with statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user; and

(j) deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website

Where you submit personal information for publication on our website (e.g. blog comments), we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.

We will NEVER without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

Storing your information

Your information is stored on a central online storage and on GOTPHOTO (our gallery suppliers) website. The only person with access to the online storage is Helen and she has passworded phones, computers and tablets to access the information. None of the information is actually stored on their devices only on their shared online area. We store online so that if you request for your information to be deleted it is deleted for everyone all in one go. For a brief part of our process your child’s name appears on printed proof sheets but these are all handed out to the children on photo day and brought home. 

If you want us to delete all of the details we have for you at ANY time just contact us via helen@helenboydphotography.co.uk or give us a call. 

If you would like a copy of the information we hold on you then its a little more complicated as we will need ID to prove your face matches your name before we send it over. 

Security of your personal information

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

(8) Policy amendments

We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.

(9) Your rights

You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you. Provision of such information will be subject to:

(a) the payment of a fee (currently fixed at £10.00); and

(b) the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).

We may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.

You may instruct us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by email at any time. In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes.
