PhocusKam Photography may receive transaction details, but we do not intentionally store full card numbers.

We may share information with trusted service providers that help operate the business, including website hosting, CMS, email delivery, payment processing, scheduling, gallery storage, file delivery, analytics if enabled, print or product fulfillment if offered, fraud prevention, and business operations providers.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights or safety, to enforce agreements, or as part of a business transfer.

We do not sell personal information for money. We also do not knowingly use sensitive client gallery content for unrelated advertising purposes.

If optional analytics, personalization, or marketing cookies are enabled, you can manage choices through the cookie banner where available.

We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for service delivery, business operations, legal compliance, accounting, dispute resolution, gallery delivery, archival needs, and legitimate business purposes.

Contact submissions may be subject to automated retention settings. Gallery access and files may expire or be removed according to project workflow, storage policy, or client agreement.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No website, email system, payment processor, CMS, storage provider, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or restriction of certain personal information.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe method provided in those emails.
