This is a one person site. I am a photographer and a camera operator, not an advertising business, so there is very little to tell you here. I do not sell, rent, or trade your information, I do not run ad trackers, and I never see your card number. What follows is everything the site actually does, in plain language.
Every page on this site loads Google Analytics 4 under the measurement ID G-LC6BQM9T52. It tells me which pages get read, roughly where in the world visitors are, what kind of device and browser they use, and which site or search sent them here. I use it to decide what work to put up next and nothing else.
Google Analytics sets a cookie in your browser and receives your IP address as part of that measurement. I see the results as aggregate numbers. I do not attach your name or your email address to any of it, and I do not try to identify individual visitors.
If you would rather not be counted, you can install Google's own opt out add on, or use any browser or extension that blocks analytics. Nothing on this site breaks if you do. Google's handling of that data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
The print shop has a signup form that asks for a first name and an email address. That is all it asks for and all it stores. Submissions are held as form entries with Netlify, the company that hosts this site, and they come to me by email.
Checkout is handled by Stripe. The card fields on the checkout screen belong to Stripe, not to me, and your card details go straight to Stripe. I never see or store your card number. Stripe's handling of that data is covered by the Stripe Privacy Policy.
After a successful payment I receive your name, email address, shipping address, and what you ordered. That is the information I need to make the piece, sign it, and mail it to you, and to answer you if something goes wrong. Order records also arrive as a form entry with Netlify so I have a copy I can look back at.
Prints are made, signed, and shipped by me. Books are printed and shipped by a print on demand partner, Mixam, which means your name, shipping address, email address, and a phone number are passed to that printer so the book can be produced and delivered to you. Nothing is passed on for any other reason.
The one promise I will put in writing twice: I do not share your address with anyone, beyond the shipping details a carrier or the book printer needs in order to physically put the package in your hands.
Nothing in that list leaves your device except the order you choose to place. Clearing your browser data clears all of it.
Project pages embed video players from YouTube and Vimeo, and the site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. Loading a page with an embedded player, and especially pressing play, means that provider can see the request and set its own cookies under its own policy rather than mine. Google's policy is linked above. Vimeo publishes its own privacy policy on vimeo.com.
Email me and I will act on it. You can ask what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, ask me to delete it, or ask to come off the mailing list. Depending on where you live you may have a formal right to some of that. You do not need to cite a law, just ask. Order records connected to a real sale are kept as long as I need them for tax and bookkeeping purposes.
This site is meant for adults hiring a crew or buying a photograph. It is not directed at children under 13 and I do not knowingly collect anything from them.
If the site starts doing something new, this page gets updated and the date at the top changes with it. There is no archive of old versions, so the date is the honest signal.
