4. The data I collect, how I use it and why
Cookies and website visitor tracking
This website makes use of Google Analytics cookies. I also make use of a plugin that enables me to defend against malicious attacks, which uses a cookie to understand whether you are a genuine user or a robot.
Client contact information
I use personal data, provided directly and voluntarily to me by clients, for two purposes. The first is to carry out my contractual obligations and comply with HMRC’s requirement to keep financial records for 6 years as explained here https://www.gov.uk/self-employed-records/how-long-to-keep-your-records. This means that it’s information I need to do my job and to comply with statutory requirements. This personal data includes: names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and further information that I need to complete your photography requirements.
The second purpose is for me to analyze and understand behavior of my clients to assist me in relation to sales and marketing exercises. For example, to better understand where you heard about me and whether or not you choose to book me. This is a legitimate interest and a reasonable expectation that most people would have about a business. I collect personal data into and perform this analysis using simple spreadsheets.
Email addresses for gallery login
To deliver images to clients, I make use of a gallery and proofing service: Pixieset Media Inc. When clients share their galleries with friends and family, they will need to enter their email address to gain access to Pixieset, with the email address acting as a login. This allows users to create favorite lists, leave comments and also share images effectively. This is also necessary for the ordering of prints. For further information about how Pixieset collects and processes personal data please visit the Pixieset website.
