This privacy policy explains how Cousin Captures processes personal data when you use the website, send an inquiry, or arrange small event photography services. It follows the data lifecycle from collection through use, disclosure, retention, and deletion.
This section outlines how information handling, individual rights, and support channels are addressed within this notice.
Depending on how you interact with Cousin Captures, we may process your name, email address, phone number if you provide it, inquiry message, shoot requirements, preferred date, and session details. We also process limited technical data such as server request metadata and browser or device information to keep the website secure and functioning properly.
We receive personal data from contact forms, email, and phone communications, and we may also generate technical data automatically when you visit the website. If you submit event details, those details are used to review availability, access needs, and the scope of coverage.
The website uses essential cookies needed for basic operation and cookies that store privacy preferences. We do not confirm the use of analytics or marketing cookies, and we do not rely on tracking for advertising purposes based on the current site setup.
We use cookies only for essential site operation and to remember privacy preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you may be able to block or delete them, although some site functions may not work as intended if essential cookies are disabled.
We use personal data to respond to inquiries, review event details, confirm availability, prepare coverage plans and quotes, manage booking and access confirmation, carry out photography services, curate and edit images, deliver private galleries, maintain website security, and support technical operation. We may also use limited data to keep records accurate and to meet legal or administrative obligations.
We may share personal data with service providers that support contact handling, technical hosting, security, and delivery of website functions. These recipients may process data only for the tasks we assign and are expected to handle it under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
We may disclose personal data to public authorities, courts, or other parties where required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect the security, rights, and integrity of the website, our services, or affected persons. Any such disclosure is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access your data, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, object to certain processing, or ask for restriction of processing. Some requests may be limited where we must keep information for legal, security, or contractual reasons.
To exercise a privacy right, send a clear request through one of the contact channels listed in this policy and describe the data or processing activity concerned. We may need to confirm your identity and may ask for additional details so we can process the request accurately and within the applicable legal timeframe.
We retain personal data according to its lifecycle. Inquiry records are kept while we assess and respond to the request, booking records are kept for service administration and follow-up, and technical records are kept for security and operational needs. When data is no longer needed for those purposes, it is deleted or anonymized unless a legal obligation requires continued retention.
If we make material changes, we will update the policy text on the website and use reasonable means to draw attention to the revised version when appropriate. The version in force is the one published at the time you use the site or submit information.
Cousin Captures processes personal data as a controller for inquiry handling, booking administration, website security, and technical delivery. The processing is limited to what is relevant for the requested service and the operation of the website, and it is carried out with attention to lawful basis, data minimization, and purpose limitation.
Where GDPR applies, it governs the processing of personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area in connection with this website and its services.
Where GDPR applies, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, or portability, subject to legal conditions and the nature of the processing. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity and to understand the scope of the request before responding.
