Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Cam Velucci Photography (“I”, “me”, “my”) collects, uses and protects your personal information when you contact me through this website. I am the data controller responsible for your personal data.

Who I am

Cam Velucci Photography is a photography business based in Hertfordshire, England. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can reach me at hello@camvelucci.com.

What information I collect

When you complete the enquiry form on this website, I collect:

• Your first and last name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• Your location (town or postcode), if you provide it
• Details about the session you’re interested in — session type, preferred setting, how you heard about me, and anything you tell me in your message
• Whether you ticked the optional box to join my mailing list

If you sign up to my mailing list without sending an enquiry, I collect only your email address and, if you give it, your first name.

I also collect limited anonymous usage data through analytics (see Analytics & cookies below).

How I use your information

I use the details you submit to:

• Respond to your enquiry and answer your questions
• Arrange and discuss a potential photography session
• Keep a record of our correspondence

I will not use your details to send you marketing or promotional messages unless you have separately agreed to receive them by ticking the mailing list box, or by signing up to the mailing list directly.

Mailing list

The enquiry form includes an optional, unticked box you can use to join my mailing list. It is entirely separate from your enquiry — you can send an enquiry without joining, and choosing not to join makes no difference to your enquiry or booking. You can also sign up directly using the form in the footer of this site.

If you sign up, I’ll use your name and email address to send you occasional updates about mini session dates, offers, priority booking access and similar news. Mailing list details are stored separately from enquiries. I will never sell or share your email address with anyone else for their own marketing.

The lawful basis for these messages is your consent. You can withdraw it at any time — every email includes an unsubscribe link, or you can email me at hello@camvelucci.com and I’ll remove you straight away. Withdrawing your consent doesn’t affect anything I sent before you withdrew it.

I keep your details on the mailing list until you unsubscribe or ask me to remove them.

Lawful basis for processing

I process your enquiry data on the basis of my legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and running my photography business, and, where relevant, in order to take steps to enter into a contract with you at your request. Mailing list messages are sent on the basis of your consent, as described above.

Who I share it with

I don’t sell your data or share it for advertising. I do use a small number of trusted third-party services to run my enquiry process, which act as data processors on my behalf:

• Airtable — securely stores enquiry submissions and mailing list signups
• Resend — sends the email notification of your enquiry, your confirmation email, and mailing list messages
• Netlify — hosts this website
• Sanity — stores the words and photographs shown on this site (no visitor data)
• Cloudflare Web Analytics — provides anonymised website usage statistics without cookies or personal data

Some of these providers are based outside the UK, so your data may be transferred and stored outside the UK. Where that happens, these providers rely on appropriate safeguards (such as the UK extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your information.

How long I keep it

I keep enquiry data for as long as needed to respond to you and for a reasonable period afterwards (normally up to two years) in case you get back in touch. If you go on to book a session, your details will be kept for the duration of our working relationship and any period required for tax or legal reasons. You can ask me to delete your data at any time.

Analytics & cookies

This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies and does not collect personal data — it only counts anonymised page views. The only things this site stores in your browser are small preferences, such as remembering that you have dismissed a banner. You can clear these through your browser settings at any time.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data I hold about you
• Ask me to correct inaccurate data
• Ask me to delete your data
• Object to or restrict how I use your data
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, email me at hello@camvelucci.com. If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your data, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
