Privacy Policy for Klaudia Kula Photography

I care deeply about your privacy and want you to feel safe and informed when you share your personal details with me. With the GDPR laws in place, it’s essential to be transparent about how your data is collected, used, and protected.

What personal data do I collect?

The only personal information I ask for is your:

Name
Email address
Phone number

Occasionally, I may ask for your home address if I need to send prints or other physical products to you.

If you provide photos or reviews/testimonials, I may also store that content with your permission.

How do I collect your data?

You might contact me through:

My website contact form
Instagram or Facebook messages
Email

All communications are stored securely in password-protected systems, to which I alone have access. Messages or enquiries from people who don’t go ahead with a booking are deleted after a reasonable time.

Legal basis for processing your data

I process your personal data based on:

Your consent (for example, when you contact me or agree to marketing emails)
The necessity to fulfil a contract (for example, managing your photography session)

How do I use your data?

Your data is used solely to:

Respond to your enquiries
Manage and organise your photography sessions
Occasionally send you information related to your session or special offers relevant to you

I promise never to share or sell your personal details to third parties. You won’t be bombarded with newsletters—my communication will always be purposeful and respectful of your time.

Your photos and reviews

If you provide a review or testimonial, I may ask your permission to share it publicly to help others get to know my work.
I will always ask for your consent before using your images on my website, social media, or marketing materials. Sharing your photos helps me showcase my work and grow my small business.
If at any time you wish to remove your images or reviews, please just get in touch, and I’ll happily remove them.

Data retention period

I keep your personal data and images for as long as necessary to provide my services or until you request deletion.

How do I keep your data safe?

Your personal details and images are stored securely on encrypted, password-protected devices and GDPR-compliant platforms. Online galleries are password-protected to ensure only you and those you share the password with can access your photos.

Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to:

Access the personal data I hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data (also known as the “right to be forgotten”)
Restrict or object to the processing of your data
Request portability of your data (receive your data in a machine-readable format)
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, please get in touch with me using the details below.

Third-party services

I utilise third-party tools to assist in running my business, including booking software, email platforms, and online galleries. These providers comply with GDPR and only process your data as necessary to provide their services.

Use of cookies

My website uses cookies for basic functionality and analytics to improve your experience. Cookies do not store personal data directly, but may track visitor behaviour anonymously. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings.

Children’s data

If you book a session involving children or families, I will collect personal data with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, ensuring compliance with GDPR requirements for minors.
