1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Elizabeth Scott ("we," "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit this website or engage our services. We keep it simple: we collect what we need to respond to you and deliver our work, and we don't sell your personal information.
2. Information We Collect
- Information you provide. When you submit our availability form or contact us, we collect the details you share — names, email address, phone number, wedding date, location, and your message.
- Booking information. If you book with us, we collect information needed to perform the contract, such as event details, questionnaire responses, and billing information.
- Automatic information. Like most websites, we and our service providers may collect standard technical data — IP address, browser type, pages visited — through cookies and similar technologies, including analytics and advertising pixels.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to inquiries and confirm date availability.
- To perform our contract with you: planning, capturing, editing, and delivering your photos and films.
- To send service communications about your booking. With your consent, we may also send occasional offers or updates; you can opt out anytime.
- To measure and improve our website and marketing.
4. How We Share Information
We share information only with service providers who help us operate — for example, form-processing, email, scheduling, contract-signature, gallery-delivery, payment, and advertising/analytics platforms — and only as needed for those purposes. These providers are bound to use your information solely to provide services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law. We do not sell your personal information.
5. Cookies & Advertising Pixels
Our site may use cookies and pixels (such as those provided by social-media advertising platforms) to understand site traffic and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them will not prevent you from using the site.
6. Your Photos & Films
Images and films from your event are handled with care: stored on professional, access-controlled platforms, backed up during production, and shared publicly only as permitted by your contract (see our portfolio provision in the Terms of Service).
7. Data Retention
We retain inquiry information as long as needed to respond and follow up, and booking records as long as needed for legal, accounting, and archival purposes. Delivered galleries and films may be archived as a courtesy but should not be relied upon as your sole backup after delivery.
8. Your Rights & Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements. Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To exercise any of these, contact us via the homepage form.
9. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are directed to adults planning weddings and events. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect what you share with us.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time; the effective date above reflects the latest version.
