Privacy Policy

1. Who I Am

I am Michael Keane, the owner and data controller of the content studio, based in South Wales, UK. If you have any questions regarding this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact me via the contact page.

2. What Information Do I Collect & How?

I only collect the basic information necessary to run my photography business and provide you with a great service.

Information you give me (via my Contact Form): When you fill out my contact form to ask about my photography services, I collect your name, your email address, and any details you choose to share about your project.

Information collected automatically (via Cookies): When you visit this website, I use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how you use the site (such as which pages you visit and how long you stay). This uses "analytical cookies" to help me understand how my website is performing.

3. How I Use Your Information

I will only ever use your personal data when the law allows me to. Most commonly, I use your data to:

Respond to your initial inquiry and send you my availability or a quote.

Fulfill our contract (e.g., to coordinate your shoot, deliver your final image galleries, and send invoices).

Improve this website based on the anonymous data collected by Google Analytics.

I will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. How Long Do I Keep Your Data?

Inquiry Data: If you get in touch but decide not to book, I will keep your email on file for future correspondence.

Client Data: If you book me as your photographer, I will keep your contact details and contract on file for as long as required by UK tax law (usually 6 years after the financial year in which the contract ended).

5. Third-Party Services I Use

To run my business, I share some data with trusted third-party platforms that help me deliver my services:

Google Analytics: To analyze website traffic (completely anonymous).

Pic-Time: To host and deliver your private photo/video event gallery.

Google Workspace: to keep client details (invoices, mood boards etc) and deliver assets.

All of these third-party services are fully GDPR-compliant and secure.

6. Your Legal Rights (UK GDPR)

Because you are based in the UK, you have several rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to:

Request a copy of the personal data I hold about you.

Ask me to correct any incorrect information.

Ask me to delete your personal data from my systems (where legally permissible).
