When you use the contact form, you may provide:

The website’s hosting provider may also process limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser and request logs, to deliver and protect the website.

How and why your information is used

Your information is used to:

• respond to your enquiry and discuss the photography services you are interested in;
• take steps at your request before entering into a contract; and
• keep the website secure and working correctly.

The lawful bases relied on are taking steps before a contract and legitimate interests in responding to enquiries, operating the business and protecting the website. Where there is a legal obligation to retain information, that obligation is also relied on.

Your information is not used for automated decision-making or profiling.

Form notifications are delivered to a Gmail account provided by Google. These providers process information on behalf of Heather Davies Photography to deliver the website and enquiries.

Personal information will not otherwise be sold or shared, except where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Information about their international transfer arrangements and safeguards is available in their own privacy information. You can read more in Google’s privacy policy.

How long information is kept

Enquiry information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage a client relationship and meet legal, tax or accounting obligations. Information that is no longer needed will be deleted or anonymised.
