Privacy policy
This page explains what this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. I kept it in plain English, so it's a quick read.
The short version
- If you send the inquiry form, I get your name, email, and whatever you write, so I can reply and plan your session.
- I use Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they look at. It doesn't tell me who you are.
- I don't sell your info, and I don't share it with anyone other than the services that run this site.
What you send me
The inquiry form asks for your name, email, session type, the date you're hoping for, and a message. I use that to reply to you, answer your questions, and plan and book your session.
This site is hosted by Netlify. When you send the form, Netlify receives it, keeps a copy in my Netlify account, and emails it to me. If you email or call me instead, I get whatever you send that way.
Google Analytics
I use Google Analytics to see how people use this site, so I can make it better. It collects things like:
- which pages you visit and how long you stay
- how you found the site, like a Google search or an Instagram link
- your type of device, your browser, and your rough location (like your city or state)
- when you scroll, click a link to another site, or start or send the inquiry form (but not what you type)
Google Analytics uses cookies to tell new visitors from returning ones. My reports only show totals, like how many people looked at the Sessions page this week. They don't show names. Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services.
Cookies and your choices
Cookies are small files your browser saves. The only cookies on this site come from Google Analytics. If you'd rather not be counted, you can:
- block or delete cookies in your browser settings
- install Google's Google Analytics opt-out add-on
Everything on the site still works either way.
The tattoo hunt
The tattoo hunt remembers which tattoos you've found by saving a small note in your own browser. It stays on your device and is never sent to me. Clearing your browser data resets your progress.
Other sites and services
My full portfolio is on Pixieset, and I share my work on Instagram. When you click over to those sites, their privacy policies apply. I use Google Analytics on my Pixieset portfolio too.
This site also loads its fonts from Google Fonts and a few other files, like icons, from jsDelivr. Those services can see your IP address when your browser asks for the files.
Keeping and deleting your info
Inquiries stay in my email and my Netlify account until I delete them. If you want me to delete your messages or anything else you've sent me, email me and I'll take care of it.
Kids
This site is meant for adults booking photo sessions. I don't knowingly collect info from children under 13 through it.
Changes to this policy
If anything here changes, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
