Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Ruby Eliason Photography respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect, why I collect it, how it is used and the choices you have regarding your information.
Information I may collect
When you enquire about or book a photography session, I may collect information including:
- Your name
- Email address
- Telephone number
- Billing and payment information
- Details relating to your photography session
- Names and ages of family members where relevant
- Correspondence between you and Ruby Eliason Photography
- Photographs created during your session
- Information you voluntarily provide through questionnaires or contact forms
My website may also collect limited technical information such as browser type, device information and website usage data through cookies and similar technologies.
How your information is used
Your information may be used to:
- Respond to enquiries
- Arrange and manage photography sessions
- Provide contracts, invoices and booking information
- Deliver private online galleries
- Process orders and payments
- Provide customer support
- Maintain appropriate business and financial records
- Improve my website and services
- Send marketing communications where you have chosen to receive them
I will only use personal information where I have an appropriate lawful basis to do so.
Photographs
Photographs created during your session are processed and stored for the purpose of providing the photography services you have purchased.
Photographs will not automatically be used for advertising, social media, my portfolio or other promotional purposes simply because you have booked a session.
Where appropriate, permission for promotional use will be requested separately.
Children
Family photography naturally involves photographs of children.
Information relating to children will only be collected where reasonably necessary for arranging or providing your photography session.
Parents or legal guardians are responsible for providing appropriate consent in relation to children participating in a session.
Sharing your information
I do not sell your personal information.
Information may be shared with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the business and provide your photography services. This may include website and gallery hosting, payment processing, professional print laboratories and other technology providers.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.
Pixieset
This website, client galleries and certain business-management services are provided through Pixieset.
Information submitted through this website may therefore be processed using Pixieset's systems.
How long information is kept
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing photography services and meeting legal, accounting and business obligations.
Finished photographs and galleries may be retained for a reasonable period after delivery; however, clients should always download and safely back up their purchased photographs.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law gives you rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to request access to your information, request correction or deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing relies upon consent.
You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Marketing
I will only send direct marketing where permitted by law.
Where marketing is based on your consent, you can unsubscribe or withdraw that consent at any time.
