Who I Am
I'm Emma Parker, a photographer working from a small studio in Lyon, France. I decide what happens to the personal data collected through this site and through my bookings, which makes me its controller under the GDPR.
For anything in this policy, write to emma@emmaparker.com. I read every message myself.
What I Collect
I keep as little as I can. Almost everything comes from you directly, when you write to me or when we work together.
- 01
Details you send me
Your name, email address, phone number, the message itself, and the date and place you have in mind for a shoot.
- 02
Booking and billing
Your billing address and the invoices for your session. Card payments go through my payment provider, so I never see your full card number.
- 03
Photographs
The frames made during your session, and any reference images you share with me while we plan it.
- 04
Technical data
Standard server logs kept by my hosting provider: IP address, browser type and the pages requested.
Why I Use It
Each use has a reason the law recognises. If a reason ends, so does the use.
To reply and book
Answering your message, planning the shoot and sending your gallery. This is needed to carry out our agreement.
To keep records
Invoices and accounting records that French law asks me to keep.
To show my work
Using photographs of you in my portfolio or on social media, only with your consent.
To keep the site running
Reading server logs to fix errors and block abuse. This is my legitimate interest in a working, secure site.
Photographs of You
I keep the copyright in the photographs I make, and you receive a licence for personal use as set out in your booking. That licence never lets me show your face wherever I like.
Nothing of you goes in the portfolio without a written yes, and a yes can always become a no.
If you withdraw consent, I take the images down from this site and my social accounts within 14 days. Prints already sold or hung in an exhibition cannot be recalled, but they will not be reprinted.
Who Sees It
I never sell your data or use it for advertising. A few trusted services help me do the work, and each sees only what it needs.
Film lab
Develops and scans my rolls. They handle the negatives, never your contact details.
Email and gallery hosting
Stores our messages and the private gallery link I send you.
Payment provider
Processes card payments under its own privacy policy.
Accountant
Sees invoices only, to file my accounts.
Some of these services may store data outside the European Union. When they do, they rely on safeguards approved by the European Commission.
Cookies and Logs
This site sets no advertising cookies and does no cross-site tracking. My hosting provider keeps standard server logs for up to 30 days to keep the site secure and running.
The camera on the contact page and in the footer is a 3D model. Taking a frame captures this web page, not you: your device camera is never switched on.
How Long I Keep It
- Enquiries that do not become a booking
- 12 months
- Client files and full-resolution images
- 3 years after delivery
- Film negatives
- Kept in my archive until you ask me to destroy them
- Invoices and accounting records
- 10 years
- Server logs
- 30 days
Your Rights
You can use any of these rights at any time, free of charge. I will reply within one month.
Access
Ask for a copy of everything I hold about you.
Correction
Have anything inaccurate or out of date fixed.
Deletion
Ask me to erase your data, unless the law says I must keep it.
Objection and restriction
Ask me to stop or limit how I use your data.
Portability
Receive your data in a common format to take elsewhere.
Withdrawing consent
Change your mind about portfolio use at any time.
If you feel I have not handled your data properly, you can complain to the CNIL, the French data protection authority, at cnil.fr.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, I will update the date at the top of this page and, for current clients, tell you by email before it takes effect.
