3. Photography and Client Images
As a photography business, photographs and video may contain identifiable images of clients, guests, family members, wedding attendees, models, or other individuals.
TMajPhotos processes and stores photographs as necessary to provide contracted photography services, including editing, retouching, backup, gallery delivery, printing, and archival purposes.
Any use of client photographs for advertising, portfolio displays, social media, website galleries, competitions, publications, promotional materials, or other commercial purposes will be governed by the applicable photography agreement, model release, or other authorization between TMajPhotos and the client.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy independently grants TMajPhotos permission to use a client’s likeness for promotional purposes where separate consent or authorization is required.
4. Payment Information
Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors or booking platforms.
TMajPhotos generally does not directly store complete credit or debit card information when payment information is processed by a third-party payment provider. Payment providers process your financial information according to their own privacy policies, security practices, and terms.
We may retain transaction information such as payment amount, payment status, invoice number, transaction date, and other records necessary for accounting and business purposes.
5. Online Galleries and Photo Delivery
TMajPhotos may use third-party platforms to host, manage, and deliver client galleries.
Depending on the service, clients may receive private gallery links, passwords, PINs, download codes, or other access credentials.
Clients are responsible for protecting private gallery credentials and should only share them with individuals they authorize to access their photographs.
Although we take reasonable measures to protect client galleries, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website traffic, analyze visitor behavior, improve our services, and support advertising.
Some cookies may be provided by third-party analytics, website hosting, advertising, or social media services.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the ability to accept, reject, or manage certain non-essential cookies through your browser or a cookie-consent tool provided on our website.
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
7. Advertising and Analytics
TMajPhotos may use analytics and advertising services to understand how visitors interact with our website and to measure or improve advertising campaigns.
These services may collect information through cookies, pixels, device identifiers, or similar technologies.
For example, we may use advertising platforms to measure whether someone who viewed an advertisement later visited our website, submitted an inquiry, or completed another action.
Where required by applicable law, advertising or tracking technologies will be used subject to appropriate consent.
8. Marketing Communications
If you provide your contact information or otherwise consent to receive marketing communications, TMajPhotos may send information regarding photography services, promotions, availability, special offers, or other business updates.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism contained in the communication or by contacting us.
Transactional communications relating to an existing booking, payment, contract, gallery, or photography service are not considered marketing communications and may continue when necessary to provide the requested service.

We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for unrelated purposes except as permitted by their applicable agreements and law.

11. Data Security
TMajPhotos uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic communication, cloud storage platform, or online transmission method is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.
12. Children’s Privacy
Our website and photography services are not directed toward children for the purpose of collecting personal information online.
Photography services may involve minors, including family portraits, weddings, events, graduations, and other sessions. When appropriate, consent for photography involving a minor should be provided by a parent, legal guardian, or other person legally authorized to provide such consent.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children in violation of applicable law.

* Request information about how your information is used or disclosed.
* Opt out of certain marketing communications

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.

Information you provide directly to or through a social media platform is also subject to that platform’s privacy practices and terms.
Interactions with our social media accounts may be visible to other users depending on your account settings and the functionality of the applicable platform.
16. Business Transfers
If TMajPhotos is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, financing transaction, or transfer of all or part of the business, information maintained by the business may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

TMajPhotos may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business practices, technology, services, or legal requirements.
When material changes are made, the revised policy will be posted on our website with an updated “Last Updated” date.
