This policy explains what personal information Lewis Bishop Photography (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects through this website and when you get in touch, why we collect it, how long we keep it and the rights you have over it. We are the data controller for this information under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

If you have any questions, email [email protected].

What we collect

When you send an enquiry

Our contact form asks for your name and your partner’s name, your wedding date and venue, your email address, your phone number (optional) and anything else you choose to tell us, such as how you found us. We receive the same kind of information if you email, call or message us directly.

When you book us

If you go on to book, we also keep the details needed to plan and deliver your wedding photography, such as your booking agreement, contact and billing details, payment records and the timings and arrangements for the day.

When you browse the website

Like most websites, ours collects information about how it is used, such as the pages you visit, roughly where you are, the device and browser you use and how you arrived. This comes from cookies and similar technologies (see Cookies and analytics below).

Photographs

The images we take at weddings show you and your guests. How we may use them, for example in our portfolio, on this website or on social media, is set out in the booking agreement, and you can ask us at any time to remove an image of you from the website.

How we use your information

To reply to your enquiry and send you information about our services and availability. Lawful basis: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
To deliver the photography you have booked, including planning, communication, editing and delivering your images. Lawful basis: performance of a contract.

To understand how the website is used, improve it and measure our advertising. Lawful basis: legitimate interests and, where required, your consent.

Cookies and analytics

This website uses the following third-party services, which may set cookies or collect information about your visit:

Google Analytics (Google): measures visits and how people use the website.

Who we share your information with

We only share personal information with trusted service providers who help us run the business, and only as far as they need it to provide their service. These include our website hosting provider (Cloudflare), the email delivery service that sends contact form messages to us (Resend), our email provider, our accounting and payment providers and the analytics services listed above. We may also share information where the law requires it.

Some of these providers are based in, or process data in, the United States. Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it:

Enquiries that do not lead to a booking: up to 12 months after our last contact.
Client booking and financial records: up to 6 years after your wedding, to meet tax and legal requirements.
Your wedding images: we keep a backup copy for as long as set out in your booking agreement.

Keeping your information safe

We use secure, reputable services to store and transfer your information, and the website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. No method of sending information over the internet is completely secure, but we take sensible steps to protect it.
