The details below state the exact way in which information practices are handled by Andi's Imagenery as below;

Andi's Imagenery considers Internet user privacy and data protection to be of paramount importance.

Andi's Imagenery website complies with the Data Protection Act 1998 in relation to all processing of personal data supplied to us by users and other personal data in our possession for any reason. It is the policy of Andi's Imagenery to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of any personal information, such as your name, address, email address, or telephone number that you provide to us.

I do not collect, use or disclose your personal information for any purpose other than those identified below, except with your consent or as required by law.

Each time you visit my website www.andisimagenry.co.uk the web server collects and logs certain information. We keep these access logs for a reasonable period of time. These logs include, but are not restricted to: your computer’s TCP/IP address, your username (if applicable), date, time and files accessed. These logs also contain information about referrer information if you clicked on an external link in order to access a webpage. I use these logs solely for performance, site administration and security reviews. I do not sell or share this information with any third party.

I collect only personal information about you, such as your name, address, email address, or telephone number that you voluntarily provide to me. For example Personal Information can be gathered via an online contact form, by the posting of a comment in relation to content on the site, or by interacting with one of Andi's Imagenery Social Media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest). I may also request Personal Information when hosting a competition whereby applicants must apply to participate.

Under no circumstances will any Personal Information be used for anything other than the reason it has been submitted for. I do not sell any personal information I receive through my website to any third party, nor will I add such information to any bulk email list I may prepare. I reserve the right to use any Personal Information for promotion administration purposes, including but not limited to verification and notification of winners as applicable.

All correspondence to Andi's Imagenery via email, social media, website, contact form, WhatsApp, messenger are password protected and Heather Photography is solely responsible for the handling and managing of all personal data.

​Any Personal Information obtained regarding an enquiry will be stored within the medium in which it was received and, unless a booking is complete, all Personal Information will be anonymised prior to the date of the event or six months after final contact is made (which ever is later). Where a booking is made, relevant Personal Information provided by the client will be stored for a period of ten (10) years after the date of the event.

All electronic devices where your Personal Information is stored, for example, mobile phone, tablet and desktop, all contain passwords. Images are stored on external hard drives which are password protected. Any paper documents where your Peronal Information can be accessed are stored in a secure, private location only accessible by Andi's Imagenery.

Andi's Imageney may at times use an assistant or a second shooter, under these circumstances they will have access to your name and telephone number for the duration of the event. All paperwork with this Personal Information on will be destroyed after the event has been carried out.

Personal information shall not be shared with Third Party operators or websites, unless considered necessary when completing your transaction. Andi's Imagenery will use your name and images to complete this order. This Site holds no responsibility for privacy policies on other sites, but endeavours to only work with GDPR compliant companies.

Andi's Imagenery may need to disclose Personal Information, when necessary, in the instance of insurance claim, or legal reason that may occur. Wherever possible Andi's Imagenery will inform those affected prior to the release of Personal Information.

​

GDPR legislation states that a photograph may contain some form of personal data where they can be processed to allow “the unique identification or authentication of a natural person”. Andi's Imagenery will never photograph an individual as a means of unique identification or authentication unless contracted to do so. Guests at events, where Andi's Imagenery has been contracted to capture images, appear in photos taken by Andi's Imagenery as a part of the documentation of the event. Guests captured in portraits or in group photos do so as part of the event and their rights are protected by Andi's Imagenery as detailed in this Privacy Policy.

​

In terms of explicit GDPR compliance, clients and guests are photographed within the parameters of GDPR legislation on the basis of ‘legitimate interests’. The taking of photographs of guests when viewed as a form of processing personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of Andi's Imagenery as a photography business unless there is a good reason to protect a given individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.

Operating within the parameters of legitimate interests as laid out in GDPR legislation, the disproportionate effort involved in providing Privacy Policy information to all guests at the event and the degree to which it would distract us from performing our job renders it infeasible to do. Booking clients are therefore requested in their contract to direct their guests to read this Privacy Policy in advance of the event and to advise them to contact us in advance with any concerns around the processing of their personal data, namely being photographed.

I may display any photographs to promote Andi's Imagenery on my website, blog, on social media, on photography related websites, in exhibitions, in advertising, brochures, magazine articles and other such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without damage to Andi's Imagenery's client(s). The rights of the people captured in these photographs are protected by Andi's Imagenery as detailed in this Privacy Policy.

Andi's Imagenery retains the full copyright of any photographs produced. Images captured at events will be retained for a minimum of two (2) years after the date of the event.

Andi's Imagenery will contact you regarding your enquiry, booking, to collect fees or monies owed, or as otherwise necessary. For  these purposes we may contact you via email, telephone, text message, messenger and / or postal mail.

When using my contact form I collect the following information which is directly provided by the user, their name, email address , telephone number, and details about their wedding day including the date and location. The information provided is only used to reply or for direct contact with the user. This information is never passed onto to any third-party services or sold.

You can request at any time that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
