Regan Marcella Photography

Last Updated: October 29, 2026

At Regan Marcella Photography, your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, inquire about photography services, submit a contact form, or interact with our advertisements.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you voluntarily provide it through our website, Google Ads lead forms, email, or other communications:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Photography service interests
  • Event or session dates and locations
  • Project details, preferences, and other information you choose to share

When you visit our website, we also collect certain technical information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and interactions with our website.

If you provide information on behalf of a child or another person (for example, a parent or guardian booking a family or portrait session), we treat that information as provided by you, and you confirm you are authorized to provide it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate about photography services
  • Provide pricing, quotes, and booking information
  • Schedule and manage photography sessions
  • Deliver photography services and client galleries
  • Improve our website, services, and customer experience
  • Measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing efforts
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

Submitting an inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to promotional emails or text messages. If you provide your phone number, we may call or text you only about your specific inquiry or booking, such as to answer questions or confirm session details.

3. Google Ads and Lead Forms

Regan Marcella Photography uses Google Ads to promote photography services and connect with potential clients.

When you submit a lead form through a Google advertisement, the information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and project details, is shared with Regan Marcella Photography.

We use lead form information only to respond to your inquiry, discuss your photography needs, provide quotes, and communicate about potential bookings. We do not use lead form information for unrelated purposes, and we do not sell it or share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Google may also process information collected through its advertising services according to its own privacy policies. For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website is hosted by Pixieset and uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality and understand visitor activity.

We use Google Ads conversion tracking and Google Analytics to measure website traffic, understand how visitors interact with our website, and evaluate the performance of our advertising. These services collect information about your device, browser, and interactions with our website, and Google may use that information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Your choices:

  • You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.
  • You can control or opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings at https://myadcenter.google.com/.
  • You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of advertising-related sharing where required by applicable law.

Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of our website function.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

Some advertising and analytics tools may be considered "sharing" or "targeted advertising" under certain state privacy laws. You can opt out of this activity using the choices described in Section 4.

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers when necessary to operate our business, including website hosting, photography gallery delivery, email communications, scheduling, payment processing, analytics, and advertising.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf to deliver their services.

We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

6. Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission is completely secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. As a general guideline:

  • Inquiry and lead form information is kept for up to 3 years after your last communication with us, unless you become a client or ask us to delete it sooner.
  • Client contracts, invoices, and booking records are kept for up to 7 years for business, tax, and legal purposes.
  • Client galleries and delivered images are kept for the period stated in your client agreement or on your gallery.

We may keep information longer when needed to resolve disputes or comply with legal requirements.

7. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we maintain about you, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping requirements.

You may also request that we stop contacting you about a photography inquiry.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, including the right to opt out of targeted advertising and the right to appeal a decision on your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

To submit a privacy-related request, please contact us using the email address below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including Pixieset galleries, social media platforms, and other external websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing personal information, including Pixieset's Privacy Policy at https://pixieset.com/privacy/.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website and inquiry forms are intended for adults seeking photography services.

Although we may photograph children as part of family or portrait sessions, we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 through our website or advertising lead forms. Information about minors, such as names, ages, or session details, is provided by their parent or guardian.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate parental consent, please contact us so we can address the request.

10. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business practices, services, or legal requirements.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
