Information Collected

To fulfil an order, buyers must provide certain information (which authorises Squarespace or Etsy to provide to Picture This Photography), such as name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that is being ordered.

When buyers have provided their affirmative consent, which may be revoked at any time, such as by signing up for the mailing list

If necessary, to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about purchases if required by tax law

As necessary for the purpose of Picture This Photography legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by the buyers rights or interests, such as

Providing and improving services - Picture This Photography uses buyer information to provide the services requested and in any legitimate interest to improve all services

Compliance with the Squarespace or Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use - Picture This Photography uses buyer information as necessary to comply with all obligations under the Squarespace or Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Object. Buyers can object to (i) processing of some of their information based on any legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages after providing consent to receive them. In such cases, Picture This Photography will delete any personal information unless there is any compelling or legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
