Privacy
This page says what I collect when you visit the site, book a session, pay an invoice, sign a contract or open a gallery, what I do with it, and who helps me run it. The short version: I keep what I need to do the work and get paid, I don't sell it, and you can ask me to see it or delete it.
What I collect
When you get in touch or book. Your name, email, phone, and whatever you tell me about the session. If you book online, the session, date and time you pick.
When you sign or fill something out. Contracts you sign are stored with your typed or drawn signature, the time, your IP address and your browser type, so there's a record of who signed and when. Questionnaire answers and quote responses are stored with your project.
When you pay. Payments go through Stripe. I see the amount, the date and the last four digits of the card. Your full card number goes to Stripe and never reaches me.
When you open a gallery. If you give your email to save favorites or download, I keep that email with your favorites and a log of what was downloaded, including the time, IP address and browser type. That's how download limits work and how I see which photos you love.
When you buy a gift card or extra downloads. Your name and email, what you bought and the payment record.
When you visit the site. Google Analytics counts visits and pages using cookies, so I can see what people read. It doesn't tell me who you are.
What I do with it
I use it to plan and deliver your session, send your invoices, contracts, galleries and receipts, answer you, keep my business and tax records, and keep the site and my client system secure. I don't sell your information, and I don't use it to advertise to you anywhere else.
Who helps me run this
These services hold or handle some of your information for me, only to do their part:
- Stripe for payments
- Supabase for the database behind my client system
- Cloudflare for hosting, the website and photo and video storage
- Resend for sending email
- Google for my calendar and for site analytics
- Sentry for error reports, so I can fix things that break
- Formspree for the contact form on this site
Each has its own privacy policy. I'd share information beyond them only if the law required it.
My Google Calendar
My client system connects to my own Google Calendar. It reads when I'm busy, so the booking page only offers open times, and it adds confirmed sessions to my calendar with your name, the session and the time. It doesn't read anyone else's calendar or your Google account.
David Monroe Photography's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
How long I keep it
Galleries stay online for 12 months after delivery. Download what you want to keep before then. Client and project records, signed contracts and payment records are kept as long as tax and legal rules require, which is usually several years.
Your choices
Email hello@davidmonroephotos.com and I'll tell you what I have about you, fix anything that's wrong, or delete it, except records I'm required to keep, like payments and signed contracts. If I ever send you news or offers, every one of those emails will have an unsubscribe link, and one click stops them. You can also block cookies in your browser.
This site isn't meant for children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their information.
If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.
Gift card terms
- Gift cards are bought online at davidmonroephotos.com. Each card has its own code.
- A card is worth the dollar amount on it. A session card is worth that session's price on the day it was bought. If prices go up later, I'll decide case by case whether the card still covers the full session.
- Use a card toward any David Monroe Photography invoice, all at once or a bit at a time. Whatever's left stays on the same code.
- Cards can't be used at online booking checkout. Book with me directly, or pay the booking deposit and put the card toward the session invoice.
- Cards expire 5 years after purchase. The date is on the card and in the email.
- An unused card can be refunded within 30 days of purchase. Once any of it has been used, it can't be refunded or exchanged for cash.
- Lost a code? I can resend it to the email it was bought with. Otherwise, treat the code like cash.
Extra downloads
When a gallery has a download limit, you can buy more photos at the price shown in the gallery. Your free downloads are used first. Bought downloads are delivered right away, so they aren't refundable.
