Privacy Policy

Indy Pop Photo · Last Updated: March 17, 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit indypopphoto.com or work with us, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. By using this website, you’re agreeing to the practices described here.
Questions? You can always reach us at [your email address].

01. What Information We Collect
We only collect information that helps us run our business and serve you better. This includes:
• Contact information you voluntarily provide — like your name, email address, and phone number when you fill out a contact or booking form.
• Payment information — processed securely through third-party payment providers (we never store your full card details).
• Website usage data — such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and device info, collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools (like Google Analytics).
• Communications — any messages you send us through the website or by email.

02. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Respond to your inquiries and book sessions or process orders
• Deliver digital products you’ve purchased
• Send order confirmations, session reminders, and other transactional emails
• Occasionally send marketing emails (only if you’ve opted in — and you can unsubscribe anytime)
• Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
• Comply with legal obligations
We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

03. Cookies & Tracking
This website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience and gather analytics data. Here’s what we use:
• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (e.g., session management).
• Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
• Third-party cookies: Some embedded content (like social media widgets or videos) may set their own cookies.
You can control cookie settings in your browser, or opt out of Google Analytics at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Note that disabling some cookies may affect your experience on the site.
When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner will ask for your permission to use non-essential cookies.

04. Third-Party Services
We use a few trusted third-party tools to run our business. These may have access to some of your data as needed to perform their functions:
• Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, HoneyBook) — for secure payment handling
• Email marketing platforms (e.g., Flodesk, Mailchimp) — if you’ve subscribed to our email list
• Online gallery delivery (e.g., Pixieset, Cloudspot) — for delivering your photos
• Google Analytics — for website analytics
• Showit — our website platform
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing their use of your data. We encourage you to review them.

05. Data Storage & Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. Your data is stored securely and we use industry-standard practices to prevent unauthorized access.
That said, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we can’t guarantee absolute security.

06. How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose it was collected for — or as required by law. For example, booking records may be kept for tax and accounting purposes for several years after your session.

07. Your Rights
You have the right to:
• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal data (subject to certain legal exceptions)
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email
To exercise any of these rights, reach out to us at [your email address] and we’ll respond as quickly as we can.

08. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us so we can delete it.

09. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you’re a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the “sale” of your data. We do not sell personal information. To submit a request, contact us at [your email address].

10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the date at the top of the page. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of our website after any changes means you accept the updated policy.
