This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, book photography services, rent our studio, make a payment, or otherwise interact with our business.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that support website functionality, remember preferences, measure traffic, and help us understand how visitors use the site.

Where available, you may manage nonessential cookies through our cookie banner. Browser settings may also allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling cookies may affect some website features.

Service Providers

We use third-party providers to operate our business. Depending on how you interact with us, these may include Squarespace, Acuity Scheduling, Square, Pic-Time, payment processors, website analytics providers, email services, cloud-storage providers, and other business vendors.

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and their agreements with us. We do not sell personal information for money.

Payment Information

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. PaperCity Photography does not ordinarily receive or store complete payment-card numbers. Payment providers process that information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Photography and Client Galleries

Photographs may be stored, edited, delivered, or displayed through secure client-gallery and cloud-storage providers. Public use of client photographs is governed by the applicable photography agreement or model release. We will not treat this Privacy Policy as a substitute for permission required under those agreements.

Information Sharing

We may disclose information:

• To service providers assisting with our operations

• To photographers, assistants, or contractors working on your engagement

• When you authorize or request the disclosure

• To comply with law, legal process, or a lawful government request

• To protect our rights, clients, property, systems, or safety

• In connection with a sale, reorganization, or transfer of the business

We do not disclose personal information to unrelated parties for their independent marketing without appropriate permission.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business and tax records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy legal obligations.

Photography files are retained according to the applicable client agreement and our storage practices. Clients should download and independently back up delivered images by any deadline stated in their agreement or gallery.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no website, email system, storage service, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your Choices and Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain about you. Certain information may need to be retained for legal, tax, security, contractual, or legitimate business reasons.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and online services are not directed to children under 13. A parent or legal guardian should contact us when arranging photography services involving a minor. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.

External Links

Our website may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those websites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
