Privacy Policy

Perky Ears Pet Photography respects your privacy. This policy explains the types of personal information the website may collect, why it is used, and how you can contact us about your information.

Information we collect

We may collect contact information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, pet details, session preferences, messages, booking details, invoices, contracts, proofing selections, print orders, and payment records.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, plan sessions, manage bookings, deliver galleries, process print and digital download orders, send service updates, maintain records, improve the client experience, and comply with legal obligations.

Client galleries, booking, and payments

Booking, proofing, print sales, digital downloads, contracts, invoices, and payments may be handled through third-party providers such as Pixieset, ShootProof, Pic-Time, Sprout Studio, Stripe, PayPal, or another chosen processor. Their privacy policies and security practices apply when you use those services.

Cookies and analytics

This starter site does not load analytics, advertising pixels, or marketing cookies by default. If analytics, embedded social content, remarketing, or non-essential cookies are added later, the site should request consent where required and provide a way to withdraw that consent.

Legal bases for EU and UK visitors

Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal information based on contract performance, legitimate interests in operating the business, consent where required, and legal obligations. You may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to processing, withdraw consent, and request portability.

California and other US privacy rights

Depending on the law that applies to your relationship with us, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, limit certain sensitive personal information uses, opt out of certain sharing or targeted advertising, and avoid discrimination for exercising privacy rights.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, including client service, legal, tax, accounting, dispute, and archive needs. Gallery retention periods should be stated in each client agreement.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards and rely on secure third-party providers for payment and gallery access. No website or internet transmission is completely secure.
