At Porche Photography, we are committed to our company principle of building trust and rapport. We value your privacy as if you were family. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information and digital imagery.
1. Information We Collect
To provide our professional photography services, we collect the following:
Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and physical address provided via our CRM.
Session Details: Specifics regarding your portrait needs, dates, and locations.
Digital Imagery: Photographs and video captured during your sessions.
Payment Data: We do not store credit card numbers on our servers; all payments are processed through secure, industry-standard third-party processors (e.g., Stripe, Square, or PayPal).
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used strictly to:
Manage your bookings, contracts, and invoices.
Deliver your final digital galleries and physical products.
Communicate anniversary reminders or special "25th Anniversary" offers.
Improve our website experience and local Katy/Houston marketing efforts.
3. Image Privacy & Discretion
We understand the sensitive nature of Boudoir and Maternity photography.
Model Release: We will never use your images for marketing, social media, or portfolio displays without your explicit consent.
Opt-Out: Even if a general model release is signed, you may "opt-out" of public display for specific images or entire sessions at any time.
Internal Access: Only the Porche Family Team has access to your unedited and edited files during the production process.
4. Data Security & Storage
CRM Security: We utilize a CRM to secure your personal data.
Digital Galleries: Your final images are hosted on secure, password-protected servers for a period of 30 days following delivery.
Archive Policy: While we maintain internal backups of "precious moments" for our 25-year archive, we do not guarantee lifetime storage. Clients are encouraged to download and secure their own copies.
5. Third-Party Sharing
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only share data with trusted service providers essential to our business, such as:
Professional printing labs (for your physical albums and prints).
Our CRM and gallery hosting platforms.
6. Your Rights
Under Texas law and general privacy standards, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, or ask for the deletion of your contact information from our marketing lists.
