Your Choices About Our Marketing Activities

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal information uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

Promotional offers from us: You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased services from us and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
Third party marketing: We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal information with any company outside Tina Knowles Photography for marketing purposes.
Opt-out: You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by contacting us at any time at [email protected] or by using the contact information set forth below.

Your Rights Over Your Personal Information

If you are registered to a Tina Knowles Photography account, you can update many types of personal information, such as payment, billing, or contact information, directly within your account settings. In some jurisdictions, you are entitled to certain additional rights under applicable law regarding the personal information we hold about you. These rights may include the right to request access to, correct, amend, delete data as well as data portability, the right to withdraw consent when we process your data on that basis, and the right to make a complaint with a local data protection authority. If you are a citizen of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), all of these rights are available to you under the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

If you are concerned about data collected as you use our Services or would like to discuss or exercise rights you may have under this Privacy Policy, you may contact us at [email protected] or by using the contact information set forth below. If we receive your personal data from a data controller for whom we act as a processor (e.g., you are a client of a photographer or studio that used our Service to send you a link to photos or invite you to their online gallery), and you wish to exercise these rights, then we will forward your request to the data controller of your personal data to allow them to respond.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to carry out the purpose for which it was collected, and if necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. If you no longer want us to use your information to provide the Services to you, you can request that we erase your personal information and close your ShootProof account. Please be aware that because we maintain the Services to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children Under the Age of 13

The Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected] or by using the contact information set forth below.

We do not sell your personal information.

In order to protect your personal information from unauthorised access or deletion, we may require you to verify your login credentials before you can submit a rights request. If you do not have an account with us, or if we suspect that your account has been compromised, we may ask you to provide additional personal information for verification. If we are subsequently unable to confirm your identity, we may refuse your rights request.

In addition, there may be information we will not return in response to your request, such as information that could affect the privacy of others or violate legal requirements. Likewise, there may be reasons why we cannot comply with your deletion request, such as our need to keep your personal information to comply with a legal obligation.

You may use an authorised agent to submit a rights request. If you do so, the agent must present signed written authorisation to act on your behalf, and you may also be required to independently verify your identity or your legal authority or ownership of the personal information with us.

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
Where we use providers based in the US, we will use Data Protection Agreements which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the United States.

If you have any questions about security on our Services, you can contact us at [email protected]

Changes To Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will post the new Privacy Policy on this page with a notice that the Privacy Policy has been updated and notify you by email to the primary email address and/or phone number specified in your account, or an in-Services alert the first time you use the Services after we make the change. Modifications will be effective as of the date stated on the update, or such other date as communicated in the notice to you.

The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address and/or phone number for you and for periodically visiting this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.
