I'm a good person

If you would like me to photograph to your wedding or if you are thinking about having me photograph your wedding, or if I have photographed your wedding there is some personal information that I need from you to do my job.  If you would like a quote I will need your e-mail address to reply...ya know? If you would like me to arrive at your parents house on the morning of your wedding, I will need their address, ya know. If I get lost on the way to the church I will need the grooms phone number to call for directions...that never happens by the way. I won't collect any unnecessary personal data from you other than the information I need to do my job. If we go for pre wedding chats though I will probably ask you how you met  as I'm actually genuinely  interested in you as people and I'm still single so any tips are most welcome. 

For real though, I take GDPR seriously as I fully respect my clients personal data and keeping it safe. I will only use your information to fulfil our contract in place for me to photograph your wedding. I need to contact you about your wedding day, take photographs, send them to you and arrange your wedding album, ya know. I need to know where I need to be on your day, The morning preparations, the church or ceremony location and the reception.

I also need to maintain my own business website and social media by showing some images in my gallery and continue to be glorified as an award winning photographer and continue to have my gallery viewed by future clients. 

I will not ever store your information for the purposes of marketing to you in the future as our contract is fulfilled once you have your wedding album. There is no marketing database. I'm a terrible sales person. 

I will not sell your personal information to anyone no matter how much they offer me...no!

My website collects cookies so which helps me to understand where my clients come from and how well my website works.  

At your wedding I will photograph the entire day and since wedding days are predominately about people, relationships fun and laugher, I will be capturing all your guests also to deliver a full story of your wedding day. 

All the images of your wedding are stored online on Zenfolio, they are password protected, your wedding images can be accessed by myself, you the client and anyone else that you wish to send the link and password to. 

I treat the data I collect and store with care, and ensure it is stored securely and only for as long as I require it to fulfil our contract.  I will tell anyone who asks exactly what data I have stored about them, you know anyway as you told me.  I will remove any data from my systems that you would rather I don’t store as far as practicable, but if doing so might have implications for how I can do the job you’ve contracted me to do (if relevant), I will inform you of any consequences of this, so you can make an informed decision about such a request.  All data is stored and/or processed in a GDPR-compliant manner.

For any queries about my privacy policy or the data I collect or store, just email me at info@elainebarkerphotography.com
