Who we are and what this policy covers

C & G Photo, LLC d/b/a Christa Mae Photo ("we," "us," or "our") operates https://christamaephoto.com. This policy describes our handling of personal information through this website, its inquiry forms, related inquiry communications, and consultation scheduling through Acuity. You can contact us at christamaephoto@gmail.com.

Information you provide

When you submit a Squarespace inquiry form, email us, or schedule through Acuity, we collect the information you provide. Depending on the form and your message, this may include your name, email address, telephone number, wedding or session date, location, photography preferences, appointment details, and other information you choose to share. Please do not submit payment card details, government identification numbers, or sensitive personal information through the general inquiry form.

Information collected automatically

Our website and the services integrated with it may collect information about your device and website use, including IP address, browser and device characteristics, approximate location derived from IP address, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps, and interactions with the site. Cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies may be used for website functionality, analytics, advertising measurement, and advertising. This information may constitute personal information under applicable law.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, discuss photography services, prepare proposals, schedule and manage consultations, send related communications, operate and secure the website, troubleshoot problems, understand website performance, measure marketing effectiveness, advertise our services, and meet legal obligations or establish and defend legal claims.

Squarespace, Acuity, and email

Squarespace hosts our website and processes website and form information. Acuity processes consultation scheduling information. Our email provider processes inquiry correspondence. These providers process information to support the services we use; their own policies may also apply to processing they undertake for their own purposes. Squarespace's privacy information is available at https://www.squarespace.com/privacy.

Meta and Google tracking

We use Meta Pixel and Google tracking technologies to measure website visits and actions and the effectiveness of our advertising. Depending on the tools and settings enabled, these technologies may also support remarketing, audience creation, and personalized advertising on other websites or platforms.

Meta and Google may receive information such as device identifiers, browser information, pages visited, and website events and may associate that information with information they hold, subject to their policies and your settings. The specific information transmitted depends on our configuration and your choices. Information about these providers' practices and controls is available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

When information is disclosed

Information is disclosed to providers supporting website hosting, inquiry handling, scheduling, email, analytics, and advertising, as described above. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or valid legal process, protect rights or security, or address fraud. Information may be transferred in connection with a business sale or reorganization, subject to applicable law and appropriate protections.

Advertising-related disclosures can qualify as a "sale," "sharing," or processing for targeted advertising under some privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. Any applicable obligations depend on the law, our business's coverage, and the processing involved. We do not characterize these disclosures as exempt merely because they involve a technology provider.

Your choices

You can choose not to submit an inquiry or schedule a consultation, although we may need certain information to respond or arrange an appointment. You can ask us to stop nonessential follow-up emails by contacting christamaephoto@gmail.com. Necessary responses to your requests and administrative communications may continue.

Your browser may let you block or delete cookies. These choices may affect website functions and may need to be repeated for different browsers or devices. Meta and Google also provide account-level advertising controls, including https://accountscenter.facebook.com/ad_preferences and https://myadcenter.google.com. These controls may limit personalization without stopping all advertising or all data collection.

To ask about privacy choices or request access, correction, or deletion, email christamaephoto@gmail.com. We will respond as required by applicable law. Where a privacy law applies to our processing and grants you additional rights, those rights may include portability, objection, restriction, withdrawal of consent, opting out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, and an appeal of a denied request. Rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions. We may need to verify your identity or an authorized agent's authority before responding to certain requests. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a legal privacy right.

Retention and security

We retain information for the time reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, considering inquiry follow-up, appointment administration, the nature of the information, legal recordkeeping requirements, and the establishment or defense of claims. Information that becomes part of an ongoing client relationship may need to be retained for contract, accounting, or legal purposes. Provider retention settings and backup cycles may affect when copies are removed.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information. No website, electronic transmission, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

This website and its inquiry and scheduling tools are intended for adults seeking photography services, rather than children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through these tools. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action. This section does not address photographs of children lawfully created during photography services.

International visitors and other websites

We operate in the United States. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate, whose privacy laws may differ from those where you live. Any safeguards required by applicable law remain applicable; visiting this website does not by itself constitute consent to a transfer where separate consent is required.

Third-party websites linked from our site have their own privacy practices. This policy describes our practices and does not replace those third parties' policies.

Updates and contact

We may update this policy as our practices or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the latest version. Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before making a change.
