Data Protection – It really is important to us.

As you may imagine we can hold a lot of personal data on our clients.  The security of that data is very important to us, and it should be to every supplier you use.

THE SIX GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS (GDPR)

  1. Lawfulness, fairness and transparency – Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner;

We won’t do anything with your data that we wouldn’t want to do to my own.

  1. Purpose limitation – Personal data must be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes (with exceptions for public interest, scientific, historical or statistical purposes);

We will only ask for and collect data we NEED to run our business.  Anything else we are not bothered about.

  1. Data minimisation – Personal data must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is;

We don’t ask you for information that we don’t need to help us do our job

  1. Accuracy – Personal data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Inaccurate personal data should be corrected or deleted;

We try to be accurate, but if you move house, change emails etc then let us know.  If you want to know what we hold just ask.  If you want us to remove it all (including photographs) or update/amend it – just ask.

  1. Retention – Personal data should be kept in an identifiable format for no longer than is necessary (with exceptions for public interest, scientific, historical or statistical purposes);

We will only keep your data for as long as we need to.  Being a photographer that may be longer than is usual due to the emotional nature of the wedding photographs.  HMRC says about 7 years.  However, we still get clients asking after 10 years for copies of wedding photographs.

  1. Integrity and confidentiality – Personal data should be kept secure.

Our business and your data are about as secure as we can reasonably make it.

 HOW YOUR DATA IS PROTECTED

We use a multi-layered approach to security –

“Network Security” – All of the IT is further secured using strong password protection, using a mixture of alphanumeric and symbols.

We use DropBox and Google 360 business suite as a cloud storage system for my documents and company files.

Photographs are stored online by a third party called Zenfolio.  Zenfolio is GDPR compliant.

Portable hard drives for use off-site and on-location will not have personal information stored on them, and where they do they will have password-protected encryption at the drive level.

we ensure all our servers, routers, laptops, desktops, smartphones etc are kept up to date with the manufacturer’s relevant security patches and updates.

We have ensured as much as possible that all our third-party suppliers who MAY hold personal data are also GDPR compliant, and where they are not we have taken steps to remove any possible data and found GDPR-compliant companies.

Our website is also set up securely and uses the HTTPS security protocol.  All information to and from the website is therefore transmitted securely and is encrypted.

IP ADDRESSES

GDPR classes IP addresses as personal information, so we have to mention this.

Some of the cookies mentioned above will collect your IP address.  The vast majority of this website’s users will use private Internet Service Providers (ISP) that also use something called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).  This means every time you log onto the internet you get a different IP address.  Meaning we can’t track you personally. The IP addresses will point to your ISP, and they would not give me any details unless ordered to do so by a court order.  Users of my website who log in using corporate internet link will have their IP address taken.  Again however, that IP address would point to the business NOT to the individual.

CONTACT & COMMUNICATION

Users contacting this website and/or its owners do so at their own discretion and provide any such personal details requested at their own risk. Your personal information is kept private and stored securely until it is no longer required or has no use.

Every effort has been made to ensure a safe and secure form to email submission process but advises users using such form to email processes that they do so at their own risk.

This website and its owners use any information submitted to provide you with further information about the products/services they offer or to assist you in answering any questions or queries you may have submitted. This includes using your details to subscribe you to any email newsletter program the website operates but only if this was made clear to you and your express permission was granted when submitting any form to email process. Or whereby you the consumer have previously purchased from or enquired about purchasing from the company a product or service that the email newsletter relates to. This is by no means an entire list of your user rights in regard to receiving email marketing material.

Your details are NEVER passed on to any third parties.

PROCESSING & STORAGE OF DATA

Your personal information and any other data you give will be stored, securely, for a minimum of 36 months.  After that time, you will be asked if you wish to remain in our database.  If you do not, you will be removed.  If you do not respond within 5 working days, you will be removed.  Your data will be deleted and/or destroyed.

This does not apply to wedding photographs or other photographs kept online securely, nor does it apply to invoices/receipts etc, which need to keep, legally, for 6 years.

If you wish the photographs to be destroyed/deleted then we will do this also. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure you have backups.

We do not use any software to automatically process your biometric data – i.e. we don’t use facial recognition facilities that can be found in major editing applications such as Adobe Lightroom.

Although this website only looks to include quality, safe and relevant external links, users are advised adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout this website. (External links are clickable text/banner/image links to other websites.)

The owners of this website cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any externally linked website despite their best efforts. Users should, therefore, note they click on external links at their own risk and this website and its owners cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.

Social Media Platforms

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that this website and its owners participate on are customs to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.

Users are advised to use social media platforms wisely and communicate/engage upon them with due care and caution in regard to their own privacy and personal details. This website nor its owners will ever ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourage users wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact them through primary communication channels such as by telephone or email.

This website may use social sharing buttons that help share web content directly from web pages to the social media platform. Users are advised before using such social sharing buttons that they do so at their own discretion and note that the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media platform account.

 Agreeing or Not Agreeing

All the contact forms (or nearly all – we are updating them) will have a checkbox for you to tick to show you have read, understood and agree to this Privacy Policy.

You are prevented from sending information to Jenkins Photography unless that checkbox is ticked.

If you DO NOT AGREE, do not tick the box; however, you cannot contact Jenkins photography via the contact form.  You can still do so using email, mobile or landline or via Facebook Business Page or Linked In
