This Privacy Policy explains how Arica Lenscraft processes personal data for DearWallStreet.com in connection with photography inquiries, bookings, studio and on-location work, private galleries, and related service administration.
Subject to legal limits, individuals may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion where appropriate, restriction of certain processing, or an explanation of how a request is handled. Where processing is based on consent, that consent may be withdrawn for future processing, without affecting prior lawful processing.
To protect privacy, we may ask for information needed to verify the requester and understand the scope of the request. We will respond within a reasonable period and in line with applicable law. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the main reason where permitted.
We retain personal data for the period needed to handle inquiries, complete booked work, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal or accounting obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it where feasible. Some records may be kept longer if required by law or if necessary to defend a legal claim.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, processing practices, or legal requirements. The revised version will apply from its stated effective date. Where a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to make the update visible on the website or through another appropriate notice method.
We use personal data to respond to inquiries, review product counts and style requirements, prepare quotes and delivery plans, coordinate planning calls, manage sample setup approval, produce and edit images, provide private galleries, deliver files, process payments, maintain records, secure the website, and comply with legal obligations. We may also use limited data to improve service administration and to handle customer communications related to a project.
We may share personal data with payment processors, website hosting providers, communication tools, file delivery services, and other operational vendors that support booking, production, gallery access, or administration. These parties are expected to use the data only for the services they provide to us and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We may disclose personal data when necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, prevent fraud, or address security incidents. We may also share information where disclosure is needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We may collect contact details, project information, product counts, shot-list preferences, reference materials, booking details, payment-related records, gallery access activity, and communications sent through the site or by direct contact. We also process technical data such as device, browser, and usage information needed to operate and secure the website.
We receive data directly when a user submits an inquiry, requests a quote, shares product details, approves a sample setup, reviews a gallery, or completes a booking. Some data is generated during website use, such as access logs, session data, and basic analytics records. We may also receive information from payment or delivery-related service providers where needed to complete a transaction or provide the service.
We may use essential cookies to support site security and core functions, preference cookies to remember basic settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Cookies may be session-based or persistent depending on their purpose. We do not use cookies to collect more information than is reasonably needed for website operation and service administration.
Users can manage cookies through their browser controls and, where available, site-level preference tools. Blocking some cookies may affect form submission, gallery access, or other site functions. We do not rely on cookie settings to override legal or operational requirements for essential processing.
