Privacy Policy

At The Salty Lens Co., your privacy matters.
We’re committed to keeping your personal information safe, secure, and used only in ways that support your experience with us — whether you’re browsing this site, filling out a form, or booking a photography session.

This policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and how it’s protected.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect, but are not limited to collecting, the following personal details to help deliver a seamless and personalized experience:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Mailing address

  • Social media handles (if shared)

  • Event or session details

  • Payment information (processed securely through trusted third-party platforms)

  • Any other details you voluntarily provide when communicating or booking with The Salty Lens Co.

This information is gathered only as needed to fulfill services, maintain accurate records, and ensure smooth communication throughout your experience.

2. How We Collect Your Information

Your information is collected only when you choose to share it — for example, when you:

  • Submit a contact or inquiry form

  • Book a session or sign a contract

  • Subscribe to emails, updates, or newsletters

  • Communicate directly with us via email, phone, or social media

  • Interact with embedded forms, galleries, or payment tools on our site

3. How We Use Your Information

Your information allows us to:

  • Schedule and manage your session

  • Communicate with you about your booking or inquiries

  • Send contracts, invoices, and collect payments securely

  • Deliver galleries, downloads, or other digital content

  • Respond to your questions or concerns

  • Improve our services and overall client experience

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Your data may be shared only with trusted third-party providers as needed (such as gallery hosts, payment processors, or contract platforms) — solely to provide services you’ve requested.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your personal information is treated with the highest level of care and confidentiality.

Access to client data is strictly limited to authorized team members within The Salty Lens Co. who require it to perform essential business functions such as scheduling, communication, billing, and image delivery. All data is stored on secure, encrypted, and password-protected platforms, and is never shared internally outside of authorized use.

We also use trusted third-party providers to facilitate certain services, including but not limited to:

  • Square – for secure payment processing

  • Squarespace – for website hosting and contact form submissions

  • Gallery and image delivery platforms – for uploading and providing client access to finished photos

  • Booking and contract systems – for managing session details and agreements

These platforms maintain their own industry-standard security and privacy protocols.
While we carefully select and trust these providers, The Salty Lens Co. cannot control their internal data handling practices and encourages clients to review their respective privacy policies for additional details.

Your information will never be shared, sold, or distributed beyond these trusted purposes.

5. Cookies & Analytics

This website may use cookies and tracking tools (like Google Analytics) to understand visitor behavior, measure performance, and enhance your browsing experience.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect how some site features function, but you’ll still be able to access most content.

6. Third-Party Links

Our site may include links to external sites such as social media pages, galleries, or payment platforms.
Once you leave The Salty Lens Co. website, we are not responsible for how those third-party sites collect or handle your data. Please review their privacy policies for more information.

7. Children’s Privacy & Session Data

We value the privacy and safety of all clients — especially minors.

Any personal information collected for children (under the age of 18) is gathered solely for legitimate session purposes such as booking, communication, and image delivery. This information is collected only with verified parental or legal guardian consent and is shared or used exclusively with that same authorization.

Use of images featuring minors for portfolio, social media, or marketing purposes is governed strictly by the terms outlined in The Salty Lens Co. photography contract. By signing the session agreement, a parent or legal guardian provides consent for participation in the session and any applicable usage permissions as defined in that contract.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request corrections to any inaccurate personal details

  • Request deletion of your personal contact information (where legally permissible)

  • Opt out of marketing or promotional communications at any time

Please note: This does not include access to creative content, raw images, or intellectual property created by The Salty Lens Co. — all image rights are governed separately by your photography contract.

To exercise these rights, please contact hello@thesaltylensco.com.
