Privacy Policy

Roal Photography (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and what rights you have when you use the roal.photography site and our Services.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide:

• Contact and booking details: name, email, phone number, and address or ZIP code.
• Session details: date and time, package type, photo count, preferences, and notes.
• Consents: acceptance of terms and, where applicable, image-use authorization, along with the date, version, and IP address.

Information collected automatically:

• Basic technical data such as IP address, device type, and browser.
• Payment information processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Process payments and send confirmations, reminders, and email notifications.
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
• Meet legal, accounting, and security obligations.
• With your separate consent, display images in our portfolio and social media.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with providers that help us operate, and only as needed: Stripe (payments), Resend (email), Supabase (database), and Cloudflare (hosting). We may also disclose information where required by law.

4. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use essential cookies for Site functionality and gallery authentication. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect some features.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data and photographs for as long as needed to provide the Services and comply with law. Photographs may be archived for a limited period; we do not guarantee recovery of files after that period.

6. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or request a copy of your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain uses. California and European Economic Area residents may have additional rights under the CCPA and GDPR. To exercise these rights, contact us.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party sites (for example, social media). We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. Bookings for minors must be made by their parents or guardians.

10. International Users

We operate from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., you understand your information will be processed in the U.S.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy. The current version is identified by the “Last updated” date. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
