Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 1, 2025
By Kurt Sneddon ("BKS," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you interact with our website, advertising, and photography services.
Information We Collect
Personal Information: Your name, email address, phone number, billing details, and any information you provide when enquiring, booking, or communicating with us.
Event Guest Information (Optional): For events where AI facial recognition is offered, guests may opt in by providing their name, email address, and a selfie photo. This information is used solely to match and deliver a personalised gallery containing the photos they appear in.
Usage Data: Information automatically collected through website visits or advertising interactions, such as IP address, device information, browser type, and pages viewed.
Client Project Data: Any information shared for the purpose of planning or delivering photography services.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to manage enquiries and bookings, deliver photography services, process payments, communicate with you about your project, send marketing or promotional material (with opt-out available at any time), and improve our website and advertising performance.
Facial-recognition data provided by event guests is used only for the purpose of identifying images of that guest and delivering their personalised gallery. It is not sold, reused, or applied to any other purpose.
Marketing, Online Advertising and Opt-In
When you engage with our website, submit an enquiry, join a waitlist, or respond to online advertising, you may provide your email address or phone number. Checkboxes for agreeing to opt-in for marketing emails, as well as general communication regarding your booking/s, are available. By checking these boxes, you provide us permission to send information about shoot availability, travel dates, promotions, or follow-up communication connected to your enquiry.
All marketing emails include an unsubscribe link, and you may opt out at any time. We do not send marketing messages without prior opt-in or user-initiated contact.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your information. We may share necessary data with trusted third-party service providers such as payment processors, image hosting platforms, email delivery services, and facial-recognition gallery platforms. These providers are required to safeguard your information and use it only as needed to support our services.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time. You may opt out of marketing communications through the unsubscribe link in any email. Event guests who opt into the facial-recognition system may also request removal of their data and gallery.
