Privacy Policy 

Last updated: 9/4/26

Caprio Captured Photography ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using this website (capriocaptured.com) or submitting an inquiry, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

**Information you provide directly**, such as when you fill out our Inquire form, email us, or book a session:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Wedding/event date and location
- Any other details you choose to share about your event or vision

**Information collected automatically**, when you visit our website:
- IP address, browser type, and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referring website or search terms
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 4)

We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18.



2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries and communicate about your event
- Provide photography services, including scheduling, contracts, and invoicing
- Send you information you've requested (such as pricing guides or availability)
- Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
- Share select images from your session on our website, social media, or in marketing materials — see Section 5 for details on how this works and how to opt out

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.


3. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party platforms to run our business, and your information may pass through these services:

- **Showit** — our website hosting and design platform
- **HoneyBook** — for inquiries, contracts, invoicing, and client communication
- **Google Analytics** (or similar) — to understand website traffic and performance
- **Instagram / Facebook / TikTok** — for social media presence and, where applicable, advertising

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review their policies directly.



4. Cookies

Our website may use cookies — small files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience, remember preferences, and analyze site traffic. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not function properly as a result.



5. Photography & Image Usage

As a working photographer, image usage is central to how we do business, so we want to be transparent about it:

- Photographs taken during your session or wedding may be used in our **portfolio, website, blog, and social media** for promotional purposes, unless you request otherwise in writing.
- We do not publish images alongside personal details (such as your home address or private contact information) without your consent.
- If you would prefer your images not be used publicly, please let us know in writing before or at the time of your session, and we will honor that request going forward.
- Client galleries are typically delivered through a private, password-protected online gallery and are not publicly indexed.



 6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy — including ongoing client relationships, legal/tax record-keeping, and portfolio use — unless a longer retention period is required by law.



7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your information
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time
- Withdraw consent for image usage (see Section 5)

To make any of these requests, contact us using the information below.


8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through this website.



 9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
