When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

• IP address

Our Services are directed to parents, guardians, schools, and organizations — not directly to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent or school authorization. Information related to minors is provided by schools or parents solely for the purpose of delivering photography services.

Parents or guardians may request:

• Access to their child’s information

We do not sell children’s personal information.

We use information to:

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

We may share personal information with:

• Trusted third-party service providers (such as payment processors, gallery hosting platforms, email service providers)
• Schools or organizations coordinating photography services
• Legal authorities when required by law

All third-party partners are expected to maintain reasonable data protection standards.

We retain personal information and images only as long as necessary to fulfill our services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes. Archived images may be retained unless a deletion request is submitted and contractually permitted.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

You may:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request corrections to inaccurate data
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Request deletion of personal data (subject to contractual and legal limitations)

Requests may be submitted using the contact information below.
