This Privacy Policy explains how Becky D Photography, operated by Becky Dyer, collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you visit my website, contact me, enquire about or book a photography service, make a payment, receive photographs from me, subscribe to marketing communications, or otherwise interact with my business.

I aim to be transparent about the information I collect, why I collect it, who I may share it with and how long I keep it.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside my Cookie Policy, Terms & Conditions and any photography booking or consent forms that apply to your service.

Under the Feeding the Joy business name, I may also develop, create, promote and sell products, resources, services and content, including products intended for children and families.

Depending on how you interact with my business, your personal information may therefore be processed in connection with Becky D Photography or other activities carried out under the Feeding the Joy business name.

I will not use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally collected without first considering whether additional information, consent or another lawful basis is required.

5. Lawful bases for processing your information

Depending on the circumstances, I may rely on the following lawful bases under UK data protection law.

Contract

I may process your information where this is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

This includes processing information required to arrange your photography session, communicate with you, take payment and deliver your photographs.

Legitimate interests

I may process information where this is necessary for my legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights.

This may include:

Managing enquiries
Maintaining business records
Managing existing client relationships
Improving my services
Protecting my business
Maintaining website security
Understanding how my website is used
Managing commercial projects

Consent

I may ask for your consent where required.

This may include certain marketing activities, use of photographs for promotional purposes, and non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.

Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Legal obligation

I may process information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, including accounting, tax and other legal requirements.

6. Photographs, video and promotional use

The photographs I create for you are processed as part of providing my photography service.

Your booking does not automatically mean that I have permission to publicly display your photographs.

Where I would like to use identifiable photographs or video for purposes such as:

My website portfolio
Instagram or other social media
Facebook
TikTok
Advertising
Printed marketing
Promotional campaigns
Photography competitions or awards
Blog posts
Other public-facing promotional activity

I will obtain the appropriate permission or rely on another lawful basis where applicable.

For family, newborn, pregnancy and children's photography, I will take particular care when considering the use of images containing children.

Where promotional consent is given, you may withdraw that consent for future use by contacting me.

Withdrawal will not necessarily require material that has already been printed, published or distributed to be recalled, but I will stop future use where reasonably practicable.

7. Commercial and brand photography

For commercial, branding, product, hospitality, travel and campaign photography, the intended use of images may be agreed as part of the individual project or contract.

Information relating to image usage, licensing, copyright, ownership and permitted commercial use will be set out in the applicable agreement or terms for the project.

Personal information relating to a commercial client will only be processed as necessary to manage and deliver the project and associated business relationship.

Where commercial photography contains identifiable employees, models, customers or other individuals, the relevant client or commissioning organisation may also have responsibilities for ensuring that appropriate permissions and lawful bases exist for the intended use of those images.

8. Children's personal information

My services may involve photographing children.

Where I collect personal information relating to children, I will only collect and use it where reasonably necessary for providing the photography service or for another lawful purpose.

Where appropriate, I will communicate with a parent or legal guardian regarding the child's information and photographic use.

Photographs of children will not be used for promotional purposes without the appropriate permission or lawful basis.

9. Payment information

Payments for photography services may be made through Wix Payments, including supported payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Payment information is processed through the relevant payment provider.

I do not need to store your full payment card details myself in order to process your payment.

Payment providers may process personal and payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and security procedures.

10. Pic-Time galleries and photograph storage

I use Pic-Time to provide online client galleries and deliver photographs.

Pic-Time may process information such as your name, email address, photographs and gallery access information in order to provide its services. Pic-Time states that it provides GDPR-compliant services and offers privacy controls for client galleries.

Where appropriate, client galleries will be configured as private galleries so that access is limited to people who have been invited or provided with the relevant access information.

Gallery storage period

Photography galleries are subject to my available storage capacity and business storage arrangements.

I do not guarantee indefinite storage of photographs.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, photographs will be retained on Pic-Time for as long as I reasonably require them to remain in active photo storage.

You will be advised when your photographs are ready for download and should download and securely back up your images promptly.

Clients should download their photographs within 30 days of receiving their gallery.

After this period, photographs may remain available where storage permits, but I cannot guarantee continued availability.

Photographs may ultimately be deleted, archived or otherwise removed from active storage where required because of storage limitations, business requirements or the end of the relevant retention period.

You are therefore responsible for maintaining your own backup copies of photographs once they have been delivered to you.

Where Pic-Time or another storage provider archives photographs rather than deleting them, retrieval may take additional time. Pic-Time states that archived photographs may require a period of time to be prepared for download.

11. Website, cookies and online tracking

My website is operated using Wix.

The website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

Essential website functionality
Website security
Remembering preferences
Website analytics
Understanding website traffic
Measuring marketing performance
Advertising
Remarketing
Understanding how visitors interact with my website

Some cookies and tracking technologies are provided by third parties.

Where required by law, I will request your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies.

The ICO's guidance confirms that the rules apply not only to traditional cookies but also to tracking pixels, scripts, tags and similar technologies that access or store information on a user's device.

You should therefore be given a genuine choice over non-essential tracking rather than such tracking being activated simply because you visit the website.

12. Google Analytics

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use my website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

Pages visited
How visitors navigate the website
Approximate location
Device information
Browser information
Referral information
Website interactions

This information helps me understand website performance and improve my website and marketing.

Google Analytics will only be used in accordance with the cookie and consent settings implemented on my website.

Wix notes that Google Analytics can involve information being transferred to Google's servers and provides privacy-related controls that website owners can configure.

13. Meta tracking and advertising technologies

I may use Meta technologies, including the Meta Pixel and other Meta tracking technologies, on my website.

These technologies may allow me to:

Understand how visitors interact with my website
Measure advertising performance
Create audiences for advertising
Understand conversions
Deliver or measure relevant advertising
Improve my marketing

Depending on the technology used, Meta may receive information such as device, browser, website interaction and advertising-related information.

Where required, non-essential Meta tracking technologies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Meta may process information in accordance with its own privacy policies and terms.

14. TikTok tracking and advertising technologies

I may use TikTok technologies, including the TikTok Pixel and other TikTok tracking technologies, on my website.

These technologies may allow me to:

Understand website interactions
Measure advertising performance
Measure conversions
Build advertising audiences
Improve advertising
Deliver or measure relevant advertising

Depending on the technology used, TikTok may receive information such as device, browser, website interaction and advertising-related information.

Where required, non-essential TikTok tracking technologies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

TikTok may process information in accordance with its own privacy policies and terms.

15. Google Business Profile

I use a Google Business Profile to help people find Becky D Photography through Google Search and Google Maps.

If you interact with my Google Business Profile, Google may process information about that interaction in accordance with Google's own privacy policies.

Reviews, questions, photographs or other information that you voluntarily submit to my Google Business Profile may be publicly visible.

I do not control the information collected directly by Google when you use Google Search, Google Maps or other Google services.

16. Email marketing

I may offer visitors and clients the opportunity to subscribe to email marketing from Becky D Photography.

Marketing emails may include:

Photography news
New services
Offers
Mini-session announcements
Photography tips
Business updates
Relevant products or services
Other Becky D Photography content

Where consent is required, I will only send marketing communications where you have provided the appropriate consent.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in the email or by contacting me at:

hello@beckydphotography.com

Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not stop essential communications relating to an existing booking or service.

17. Email and communication tracking

Some marketing emails may use technologies such as tracking pixels to provide information about whether an email has been opened or interacted with.

Where such technologies are used, they will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy and electronic communications requirements.

The ICO recognises that tracking pixels and similar technologies can fall within rules governing access to information on a person's device.

18. Affiliate Marketing and Affiliate Links

Becky D Photography may participate in affiliate marketing programmes and may include affiliate links, promotional links, product recommendations, discount codes or other trackable links on this website, in blog content, guides, recommendations, newsletters, social media content or other communications.

Affiliate programmes may include, but are not limited to, programmes operated by retailers, brands and affiliate networks such as Amazon Associates, Awin, Impact, Rakuten Advertising, LTK, Skimlinks and other affiliate networks or programmes that Becky D Photography may participate in from time to time.

Where an affiliate link is used, Becky D Photography may receive a commission, referral fee or other compensation if you click the link and subsequently make a qualifying purchase or take another qualifying action. This does not normally result in any additional cost to you.

Affiliate links may use cookies, tracking parameters, pixels, redirect technologies or similar technologies to allow the relevant affiliate programme or network to identify that a visitor was referred from Becky D Photography and to attribute a qualifying purchase, conversion or other action.

Where affiliate tracking technologies are used on this website and they are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, they will be treated as non-essential tracking technologies and will only be activated where the required consent has been obtained through the website's cookie consent mechanism.

Clicking an affiliate link may also take you to a third-party website. Once you leave the Becky D Photography website, the privacy and cookie practices of that third party will apply. Becky D Photography is not responsible for the privacy practices, cookies, tracking technologies, content or security of third-party websites.

Affiliate relationships do not determine the editorial independence of Becky D Photography. Where products or services are recommended, opinions and experiences will be represented honestly and, where appropriate, the commercial relationship will be made clear.

Affiliate links and related promotional content will be identified in accordance with applicable advertising and consumer-protection requirements. Individual affiliate links or content may therefore be marked with an appropriate disclosure such as "Ad", "Paid link" or another clear indication of the commercial relationship.

Where required by an affiliate programme, additional programme-specific disclosures will also be provided.

Amazon Associates: Becky D Photography may participate in the Amazon Associates Programme.

As an Amazon Associate, Becky D Photography earns from qualifying purchases. Amazon may use cookies or other technologies to attribute qualifying purchases made following an affiliate referral. Any Amazon-specific disclosures required by the Amazon Associates Programme will be provided in addition to this general affiliate disclosure.

I will only share personal information where there is a legitimate reason to do so and will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.

I may also disclose personal information where required by law, regulation, court order or another lawful request.

20. International transfers

Some of the third-party services I use may process or store information outside the UK.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, I will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data protection requirements.

The relevant third-party provider's own privacy information may provide further details about international processing and safeguards.

21. How I protect your information

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

Unauthorised access
Loss
Accidental destruction
Misuse
Alteration
Unauthorised disclosure

Digital information may be stored using password-protected devices, secure online services and cloud-based systems.

I will only provide access to personal information where it is reasonably necessary.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

22. How long I keep your personal information

I will only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless I am legally required to keep it for longer.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Enquiries

Information relating to an enquiry may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards.

Client and booking records

Client records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain business records and protect against potential disputes or legal claims.

Financial records

Financial and accounting information will be retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting requirements.

Photographs

Client galleries are not intended to provide permanent backup storage.

Clients should download and securely back up their photographs within 30 days of receiving their gallery.

Photographs may subsequently be archived or deleted when they are no longer required or where storage limitations require this.

Marketing information

Marketing information will be retained until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent where applicable, or it is otherwise determined that the information is no longer required.

I periodically review the personal information I hold and securely delete or dispose of information when it is no longer required.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under UK data protection law, including the right to:

Ask for inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected
Ask for your personal information to be erased in certain circumstances
Ask for processing to be restricted in certain circumstances
Object to certain processing
Request portability of certain personal information
