Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 27, 2026

Hailey Brooke Photography ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or book a session, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site or our services, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

  • Contact & inquiry details: name, email address, phone number, session type, preferred date, and the contents of your message.
  • Booking details: the package and add-ons you select, session date and location, and any notes you share.
  • Payment information: processed securely by our payment provider (Stripe). We do not collect or store your full card number.
  • Automatically collected data: basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, which may be gathered through standard server logs and any analytics tools we use.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to inquiries and communicate with you about your session.
  • To schedule, fulfill, and manage your booking.
  • To process deposits and payments and to send invoices for any remaining balance.
  • To deliver your photographs and online gallery.
  • To improve our website and services.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. Payment Processing

Payments are handled by Stripe, Inc. Your card details are entered on Stripe's secure systems and are never stored on our servers. Stripe's handling of your data is governed by its own privacy policy, available at stripe.com/privacy.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate our business — for example, our payment processor (Stripe), email and hosting providers — and only to the extent needed to provide our services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

5. Use of Your Images

As a photography business, we may use images created during your session to promote our work — for example, in our portfolio, on social media, or in advertising — unless you request otherwise in writing. Specific image-usage terms are set out in your session agreement. If you would like to opt out of promotional use, please let us know before your session.

6. Cookies & Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning and to understand how visitors use it. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain business records, and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your information as described below.

8. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain uses. To make a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. When we photograph minors, we do so with the consent of a parent or guardian.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our site or services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
