Maggie Richmond Photo respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy explains what information I collect through this website, why I collect it and how it is used.

WHO I AM

Maggie Richmond Photo is operated by Maggie Richmond, a photographer based in Glasgow, Scotland.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Maggie Richmond is the data controller.

INFORMATION I COLLECT

If you contact me through the website contact form, I may collect:

• your name;
• your email address; and
• any personal information you choose to include in your message.

I may also receive information that you provide when contacting me directly by email or through other channels.

The website may collect limited technical and usage information through IONOS SiteAnalytics and technologies necessary for the website to operate.

HOW I USE YOUR INFORMATION

I use the information you provide to:

• respond to your enquiry;
• discuss photography services, availability and potential bookings;
• communicate with you about services you have requested; and
• manage any subsequent booking or client relationship.

I do not use contact-form information to send marketing emails unless you have separately agreed to receive them.

LAWFUL BASIS

Depending on the nature of your enquiry, I process your personal information because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, to perform a contract with you, or because I have a legitimate interest in responding to and managing genuine enquiries about my photography services.

Where processing relies specifically on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.

UK GDPR requires businesses to identify an appropriate lawful basis for each use of personal information. Consent is not automatically required for every type of processing.

WHO YOUR INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED WITH

I do not sell your personal information.

Your information may be processed by service providers used to operate the website and email services, including IONOS, where necessary to provide those services.

I may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

HOW LONG I KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

I keep enquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and manage any resulting client relationship.

If your enquiry results in a booking, some information may need to be retained for longer for contractual, accounting or legal purposes.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted or securely disposed of.

COOKIES AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS

This website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for its operation and may use IONOS SiteAnalytics to understand how the website is used.

Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, you will be given the opportunity to manage your preferences.

The ICO says visitors should be informed about cookies and what they do, and consent is required where cookies are not strictly necessary.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

This website may contain links to external websites and services, including Instagram. If you follow an external link, that service will process information in accordance with its own privacy practices. This privacy policy applies only to Maggie Richmond Photo.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under UK data protection law, you have rights in relation to your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, these may include the right to request access to your information, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request deletion or restriction of your information, object to certain processing, and request the transfer of certain information.

You can make a request by emailing hello@maggierichmondphoto.com.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you have concerns about how your personal information is being handled.
