Privacy & Cookies.

Information I receive

When you use the contact form, you provide your name, email address and message. I use this information to read and reply to your enquiry. If you choose to start a live chat, you may share information with the chat provider. Hosting and security services may process basic technical information when you visit the website.

Why I use your information

I use enquiries to answer questions and discuss photography and video projects. The legal basis for handling genuine contact enquiries is legitimate interests in responding to those enquiries. Where consent is needed for optional non-essential cookies, I ask first. I do not use contact-form details to sign you up for marketing emails.

Cookies and optional features

Essential hosting and security functions may be needed to operate this website. The optional live chat does not load until you choose to start it. Starting it may allow tawk.to to set cookies or similar browser storage. Playing embedded video may involve third-party storage. You can browse without opening the chat or videos.

If optional, non-essential cookies are introduced in future, this notice will be updated and appropriate choices will be offered.

How long I keep messages

Contact messages are kept in the email inbox while I reasonably need them to respond or follow up, then deleted when no longer required, unless retention is necessary for legal reasons or a dispute. You may request deletion of your contact message through the contact form.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete information you sent to me, or object to certain uses of your data, subject to applicable exceptions. Please use the contact form and write "Privacy request" in your message. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
