PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: February 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Regina Martin (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit www.dickinsonbirthphotographer.com (the “Site”), submit a form, or otherwise interact with us online.

1) Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

A. Information you provide to us
When you use our contact form or embedded forms, you may provide:

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Any information you include in your message (if applicable)

B. Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect certain information, such as:

  • IP address

  • Device type and browser type

  • Pages viewed and actions taken on the Site

  • Referring/exit pages

  • Approximate location (derived from IP)

  • Date/time of visit and related usage data

C. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for Site functionality, analytics, and advertising measurement/retargeting (see Sections 4 and 5).

2) How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you

  • Provide information about services and availability

  • Improve the Site, troubleshoot issues, and understand visitor behavior

  • Measure advertising effectiveness and show relevant ads (where enabled)

  • Comply with legal obligations and protect the security and integrity of the Site

3) Email List and Marketing Communications (“The Inner Circle”)

If you submit the contact form, you may be added to The Inner Circle consistent with the disclosure shown on that form.

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email. Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional or service-related messages you request (for example, responding to an inquiry).

4) Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent, links clicked, and device/browser information using cookies or similar technologies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Google also offers tools to manage certain analytics preferences, including a browser add-on in some cases.

5) Advertising and Retargeting (Meta Pixel)

We use the Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram) to help measure ad performance and to support advertising/retargeting. This may allow Meta to collect or receive information about your activity on the Site (for example, page views) and use it in accordance with Meta’s own policies.

You can adjust ad preferences through your Meta account settings and, depending on your device, limit ad tracking via your device settings.

6) Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

The Site may use or embed third-party services, including:

  • Flodesk (embedded forms and email marketing)

  • Google Maps (embedded map content)

These third parties may collect information directly from you or your device under their own privacy policies when you interact with their embedded content.

7) Payments

We do not collect payments directly on the Site. Payments are handled through an external payment system or provider. Any payment information you submit is collected and processed by that third party under their own privacy policy and terms.

8) How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

A. Service providers
We share information with vendors who help us operate the Site and run our business (for example, website hosting, analytics, email marketing/forms, and advertising tools). These providers are permitted to use personal information only to perform services for us.

B. Legal and safety reasons
We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

C. Business transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money. Some privacy laws treat certain ad/analytics sharing as a “sale” or “sharing” even when no money changes hands; see Section 11 for opt-out rights that may apply.

9) Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.

10) Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11) State Privacy Rights (including California and other U.S. states)

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as:

  • The right to request access to personal information we hold about you

  • The right to request deletion of personal information (subject to exceptions)

  • The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information

  • The right to opt out of certain processing, including certain targeted advertising/“sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising (where applicable)

  • The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights

How to submit a request:
Email us at [your email address] with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your identity before responding. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law.

Targeted advertising opt-out:
You may be able to limit targeted advertising by adjusting your cookie settings in your browser and changing ad preferences within Meta and/or your device settings.

12) Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect personal information. However, no website or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13) Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
