Ruwan & Diana Photography ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
Personal Information: name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any other details you provide when booking a session, signing a contract, or subscribing to our newsletter.
Non-Personal Information: IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior collected through cookies and analytics tools.
Payment Information: when you book services, invoices are sent through our client management system, 17hats, and payments are processed by Stripe. Your payment details are handled directly by Stripe under their security standards. We do not store your card information.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to provide photography services and manage bookings, process payments and send invoices, communicate with clients about their sessions, improve website functionality and user experience, send promotional offers (only if you opt in), and comply with legal obligations.
3. Analytics and Website Tracking
We use the following tools to understand how visitors interact with our website:
Google Analytics: collects data such as pages visited, time on site, device and browser information, and general location, using cookies and similar technologies. This helps us understand site traffic and improve the visitor experience. You can review how Google handles this data in the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Microsoft Clarity: collects data such as mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, and page interactions through session recordings and heatmaps, using cookies and similar technologies. This helps us improve site usability. You can review how Microsoft handles this data in the Microsoft Privacy Statement at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.
4. Client Management and Payments
We use 17hats to manage client relationships, including contracts, invoicing, and communication. Invoices sent through 17hats are paid via Stripe, which processes your payment information directly. Your data may be processed by 17hats under their privacy policy at https://www.17hats.com/privacy-policy, and by Stripe under theirs at https://stripe.com/privacy. While we take precautions to protect your information, we are not responsible for the security practices of these third-party services.
5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share data with third-party services that help us operate, including 17hats for client management and invoicing and Stripe for payment processing, and with legal authorities if required by law. Each of these services handles your data under its own privacy policy.
6. Data Protection and Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
