What I collect, why I collect it, and the control you keep over it.
Last updated · August 2026
Crown & Rose Photography ("we", "I", "the studio") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information I collect, why, and the choices you have. It is written for a small, U.S.-based portrait studio; amounts are in U.S. dollars and dates in U.S. Eastern time.
Amanda, operating as Crown & Rose Photography in Charlotte, NC, is the data controller for information collected through this website and for the client photographs I create and deliver. You can reach me any time at amanda@crownandrose.photography.
When you inquire. The inquiry form collects your name and email (required), and optionally your phone number, preferred session type and date, location, and the message you write. I use this solely to reply to you, plan a possible session, and keep a record of our conversation. It is never sold.
When you become a client. I keep the details needed to deliver your work, contact information, session dates, and the photographs themselves.
Automatically. I use privacy-friendly, cookieless website analytics that count visits without tracking you across the web or building an advertising profile. No third-party advertising cookies are set. See the Cookies page for detail.
Your images are yours to enjoy under a personal-use license; copyright and usage terms are described on the Licensing page. I retain copies of client work as an archive and, unless we agree otherwise in writing, I may show select images in my portfolio, on social media, and in marketing. If you'd prefer your photographs not be shown publicly, just tell me, a private session is always an option, and I'll honor it.
Location data. Photographs can contain hidden GPS coordinates. Any images I publish or deliver through this site have that precise location data stripped to protect your privacy.
I don't sell your personal information. I share it only with the service providers that make the studio run, for example, email delivery, image hosting and storage, and (if applicable) payment processing, and only as needed to provide the service. Each is expected to protect your data. I may also disclose information if required by law.
Inquiries are retained while they may lead to a booking and for a reasonable period afterward for my records. Client records and photographs are archived for the life of our working relationship and a period beyond, so I can honor reprint and re-download requests. You may ask me to delete your information sooner (see below).
You may ask me to:
To make any of these requests, email amanda@crownandrose.photography and I'll take care of it promptly.
I photograph children at the request of and with the consent of their parent or guardian. I don't knowingly collect information directly from children through this site.
I take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. If a breach ever affected your data, I would notify you as required by law.
I may update this policy from time to time; the "last updated" note above will change when I do.
