3. SMS AND TEXT MESSAGE PRIVACY

Photography by R. A Claborn may provide SMS/text messaging to customers and prospective customers who voluntarily provide their mobile number and opt in to receive SMS communications.

Transactional and Customer-Care SMS

If you separately opt in to transactional/customer-care SMS, we may send messages regarding your photography inquiries, consultations, quotes, bookings, scheduling, confirmations, session or appointment reminders, service-related updates, photography coordination, and customer support.

Marketing and Promotional SMS

If you separately opt in to marketing/promotional SMS, we may send recurring messages regarding photography services, availability, promotions, special offers, announcements, and related business updates.

Marketing SMS consent is voluntary and is not a condition of purchasing or booking any product or service.

Where transactional/customer-care and marketing SMS options are both available, consent is collected separately. You may choose either, both, or neither option.

Message frequency varies.

Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP.

For assistance, reply HELP or contact us using the information provided below.

Mobile Information and SMS Consent Data

We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile telephone number, SMS opt-in information, or SMS consent information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may disclose mobile information to service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as telecommunications, messaging, customer relationship management, website hosting, or other technology providers, solely as necessary to provide and operate our communications and services.

Those service-provider disclosures do not authorize the recipient to use your mobile information or SMS consent for its own independent marketing purposes.

SMS opt-in and consent information will not be transferred to third parties for purposes unrelated to providing the services you requested, except when required by law.

4. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We may share personal information with trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide our services.

These may include providers that assist us with:

Website hosting
Payment processing
Email delivery
SMS/message delivery
Customer relationship management
Analytics
Scheduling
Business administration
Professional services

These providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf and subject to applicable contractual or legal obligations.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful legal process, protect our rights or property, investigate fraud or security concerns, or protect the safety of our customers or others.

Regardless of other information-sharing provisions in this Privacy Policy, mobile telephone numbers and SMS opt-in/consent information will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

5. PAYMENT INFORMATION

If you purchase or book services, payment information may be processed by third-party payment processors.

We generally do not directly store complete payment-card information when transactions are handled through an external payment processor.

The processing of payment information may also be governed by the privacy policies and terms of the applicable payment provider.

6. COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help operate the website, understand visitor behavior, remember preferences, improve website performance, and analyze traffic.

We may also use third-party analytics providers.

You may be able to disable or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect certain website functionality.

7. SOCIAL MEDIA AND THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to social media platforms or other third-party websites.

When you leave our website or interact with a third-party service, that third party's privacy practices and terms apply.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of websites or services that we do not control.

8. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

You may voluntarily subscribe to marketing communications from us.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe option included in the applicable email.

Marketing SMS consent is handled separately from email marketing and other communications.

You may opt out of SMS messages by replying STOP.

Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending communications reasonably necessary to provide services you requested, complete transactions, or respond to your inquiries where permitted by law and consistent with your communication preferences.

9. AFFILIATES AND ADVERTISING

We may use affiliate links, advertising services, or other third-party services in connection with our website.

Information may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary for website operations, analytics, advertising, or ordinary business functions and where permitted by applicable law.

However, your mobile telephone number and SMS opt-in or consent information will not be shared with affiliates, advertisers, or other third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

10. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide our services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

We may retain records of SMS consent and opt-out requests as reasonably necessary to document and honor your communication preferences.

11. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

13. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.

You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain uses of your information or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information provided below. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

14. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California residents may have additional rights concerning their personal information under applicable California privacy laws.

Where applicable, these may include rights to request information about personal information collected, request correction or deletion, and exercise other privacy choices provided by law.

We will not discriminate against an individual for exercising applicable privacy rights.

15. BUSINESS TRANSFERS

If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, certain business information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Any successor's handling of personal information will be subject to applicable privacy obligations.

SMS opt-in and consent information will not be used by a successor or other party for unrelated third-party marketing merely as a result of such a transaction where prohibited by applicable law or the consent originally provided.

16. LEGAL DISCLOSURES

We may disclose information where we reasonably believe disclosure is required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, court order, or governmental request.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, protect our rights, enforce our agreements, or protect the safety of our business, customers, or others.

17. DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, our website may not respond to all Do Not Track requests.

You may manage cookies and other tracking technologies through your browser and device settings.

18. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our practices, services, technology, or legal obligations.

When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
