The current version of this Privacy Policy may be found at https://www.susanvannessphotography.com/PrivacyPolicy .

The Site may include links to other websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the websites of other companies, individual or organization which may be linked to or from our Site. You should consult those other websites’ privacy policies.

In addition, this policy does not apply to Personal Information (defined below) about our employees, contractors or individuals associated with companies with whom we have a business relationship.

What is Personal Information?

When we use the expression “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to information that identifies a specific individual, which can be used to distinguish an individual from other individuals, or which relates to or describes a specific individual. In general, a person’s name, address, email address and telephone number are all Personal Information. If you buy products or services using the Site, we collect and store information that specifically identifies you and the products and services you ordered as set forth during the ordering process.

However, we do not consider information to be “Personal Information” if it has been anonymized or aggregated with information about other people if it is not reasonably possible to identify the individuals from the information.

How We Obtain Personal Information

Typically, we obtain Personal Information by communicating with vendors, customers, and other third parties through the normal conduct of our business. This information may include the names, telephone numbers, email addresses and business or personal addresses of people with whom we communicate.

We collect Personal Information through the Site. Our Site allows individuals to interact with the Site and order goods and services from the Site such as booking photography sessions. Our Site also allows individuals to add their names and email addresses to our mailing list. We also record information about the users of our site, such as the “IP Address” associated with their computer or mobile device and various characteristics regarding their web browser. We may use a vendor to collect this information on our behalf.

How We Use Personal Information

We use Personal Information to communicate with the relevant individual about our business, products, and services. We do not use Personal Information to send unsolicited marketing communications, whether via email, text message, or phone call unless the individual has consented to receive those communications. They may do so by entering their name and email address into our Site and requesting to be added to our mailing list.

In addition, we may use Personal Information gathered through our Site for the purpose of learning more about the visitors to the Site and to improve the Site.

How Long We Store Personal Information

In general, we store Personal Information indefinitely, but for at least as long as we are required by applicable law or regulation to maintain it.

How We Share Personal Information

We use personal information only for our internal purposes and do not sell it. However, we may provide personal information to various service providers or use service providers to collect personal information. When we do so, we contractually require those service providers to only use and disclose the personal information to us.

We may disclose information regarding the use of our Site and the IP addresses associated with visitors to the Site to our technology service providers who help us administer and maintain the Site.
