We are the data controller responsible for your personal data collected through this website.
2. Information we collect
We may collect the following personal information when you use the contact form on our website:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your telephone number, if you choose to provide it
- Any personal information you include in the message you send to us
Providing your name and email address is required so that we can identify you and respond to your enquiry. Providing a telephone number is optional.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through the contact form. Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive or confidential information in your message.
3. How we use your information
Personal information submitted through the contact form is used solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and communicating with you about your request.
We may also use information you provide where necessary to:
- Respond to questions or requests for information
- Discuss photography services or potential work

We will not use your contact details to send unsolicited marketing communications unless we have a lawful basis to do so and, where required, your consent.
4. Legal basis for processing
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data.
When you contact us through the website, we generally process your information because it is necessary for us to respond to your request and take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
Where appropriate, we may also process information because we have a legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, managing our business and maintaining records of communications.
5. How contact form information is stored
Information submitted through the website's contact form is sent by email to the website owner.
Contact form enquiries are retained within the website owner's email account. We do not routinely transfer contact form submissions into a separate database or customer management system.
We retain emails for as long as reasonably necessary for business, legal or administrative purposes and delete them when they are no longer required.
6. Cookies and Google Analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies associated with Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- The pages you visit
- How long you spend on the website
- How you arrived at the website
- Your approximate geographic location
- Information about the device and browser you use
- General website usage and interaction information
This information is used to understand website traffic and improve the website and the services we provide.
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish individual users and sessions. These cookies do not normally identify you by name.
Where required by UK law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential analytics cookies on your device.
You can also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

7. Sharing your information
We do not sell, rent or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Your contact form information is transmitted by email to the website owner. Depending on the email service used, your information may be processed by the relevant email or hosting provider as part of providing that service.
Google Analytics also processes website usage information on our behalf.
We may disclose personal information where we are legally required to do so, for example where necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to protect our legal rights.
8. How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including where necessary to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
Contact form enquiries are retained as emails within the website owner's email account and may be deleted when they are no longer required.
The length of time that Google Analytics data is retained is determined by the relevant Google Analytics configuration.
