Ivan Soriano Photography ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you fill in our contact form, request a quote, or book a session, we collect:
- Your name, email address, and phone number
- Event details such as date, venue, and guest count
- Any other information you choose to include in your message
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect basic technical data such as your browser type, operating system, the pages you view, and the time and date of your visit. This is collected via cookies and similar technologies — see the Cookie Policy for details.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide quotes
- Confirm bookings and coordinate event coverage
- Deliver your photos and videos via private online galleries
- Send you occasional follow-up messages related to your booking
- Improve the website and understand how visitors use it
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling. We will never send you unsolicited marketing emails without your explicit consent.
4. Gallery access & delivery
Your photos and videos are delivered via a private, password-protected online gallery. Access links are sent only to the email address you provide at booking.
We will never publish or publicly share your images without your explicit written permission. If you grant permission for us to share work on our portfolio, website, or social media, we will only do so in a way you are comfortable with.
6. Data retention
We retain your contact and booking information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, and to comply with our legal and financial obligations. Inquiry data from people who do not book with us is deleted within 12 months.
Photo and video files are kept on secure storage for 90 days after delivery, after which they may be deleted. We recommend downloading and backing up your gallery as soon as it is delivered.
7. Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Deletion — request that we delete your personal information, subject to any legal obligations we may have
- Objection — object to how we use your information in certain circumstances
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the details below. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information sent to us electronically.
