Privacy Policy

---

Daniela Benz Photography ("I", "me", or "my") operates the website danielabenz.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect when you visit or contact me through the Site, how I use it, and the choices you have. This policy is provided for transparency about my photography business website; it is not legal advice.

1. Who I am

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Cameron Park, California, serving Sacramento and El Dorado County. The Site is used to share my work and for clients and inquiries to get in touch.

2. Information I collect

Depending on how you use the Site, I may collect:

- Contact and inquiry details you submit through forms (such as name, email address, and message content).

- Booking or appointment details if you use online booking tools connected to the Site.

- Newsletter signup information if you join the email list (email address).

- Technical and usage data collected automatically, such as browser type, device information, approximate location derived from IP address, pages viewed, and referral URLs, through cookies or similar technologies used by the Site host and related tools.

- Information needed to protect forms from spam (for example, Google reCAPTCHA may process technical data under Google's terms).

I do not ask you to send payment card numbers through a general contact form on this Site. Gallery delivery for clients may use third-party gallery platforms (such as Pixieset) under their own privacy practices.

3. How I use information

I use the information above to:

- Respond to inquiries and provide quotes or booking information.

- Deliver photography or videography services and related client communication.

- Send newsletter updates if you subscribed.

- Operate, secure, and improve the Site (including spam prevention and basic analytics).

- Comply with legal obligations when required.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to run basic functions, remember preferences (including cookie consent), analyze traffic, and support security features. You can control cookies through your browser settings and any cookie banner on the Site. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

5. Sharing of information

I do not sell your personal information. I may share information only as needed with:

- Service providers who help run the Site and business tools (for example, website hosting and builder services such as GoDaddy, email or form delivery, booking tools, spam protection such as Google reCAPTCHA, and client gallery delivery platforms).

- Professional advisors or authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety.

Those providers process information under their own privacy policies.

6. How long I keep information

I keep inquiry and client communication as long as needed to respond, deliver services, maintain business records, and meet legal or accounting requirements, then delete or de-identify it when it is no longer needed.

7. Your choices

You may:

- Email or message me to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information I hold about you, subject to limited exceptions (for example, records I must retain).

- Unsubscribe from newsletter emails using the link in those emails, if applicable.

- Adjust cookie settings via the Site's cookie tools or your browser.

California and other U.S. state privacy laws may give you additional rights. If you make a request, I will respond as required by applicable law.

8. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. External links

The Site may link to third-party sites (for example Instagram or gallery platforms). Their privacy practices are their own; review their policies when you leave this Site.

10. Changes

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when I do. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
