3. Website enquiries

When you submit an enquiry through my website, the information you provide is used to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, manage your potential or confirmed booking.

Your form submission may be processed and stored by Squarespace, which provides the website hosting and form functionality.

I may also store relevant correspondence in my email and business systems.

These providers may process information outside the UK. Where applicable, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Information relating to bookings, contracts, invoices and financial transactions may be retained for longer where necessary to meet legal, accounting, tax or contractual obligations.

Enquiry information that does not result in a booking may be deleted when it is no longer reasonably required.

If you book me for photography services, I will of course create and retain photographs from your wedding or event as part of providing the service.

Where photographs are used for my portfolio, website, social media or other promotional purposes, this will be handled in accordance with the terms agreed with you in your booking/contract.
