How we use personal information
Information collected from you is used to provide goods and services to you.
- Storing of names, addresses and contact details to communicate with you on an event you are organising.
- Communicating with you regarding the purchase of goods or services
- Payment information by way of email address or mobile phone numbers for sending receipts by email or SMS (via the PayPal service).
- Storing of digital images of you at an event to provide goods for you to purchase.
We do not complete any unsolicited marketing campaigns with email lists.
Event organisers can select to have images from an event uploaded to a third party online website (Zenfolio) for post-event viewing and ordering. Viewing, ordering details and viewing are controlled by the third party.
Who we share your data with
We will treat personal data confidentially, and will not share personal data with any third parties outside of normal business operations of securing payments for our products (via PayPal) and online ordering (Zenfolio).
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Personal information is kept no longer than absolutely necessary, and no longer than 7 years from time of capture.
Digital images may be kept indefinately for the purposes of copyright control and future sales with customers.
Legal basis for processing personal data
We process your personal data based on the condition of consent. Our attendance at an event is by invitation and the capture of digital images is voluntary and requires guests to actively ask for an image to be taken.
A person can request for an image to be deleted at time of capture, or at anytime afterwards by emailing privacy@event-pics.co.uk . This also applies to any contact information we may hold of you.
