Rick Morgan Photography never sells your personal information; we use what you share only to answer your inquiry and provide photography services.

Rick Morgan Photography ("we," "us") is a portrait photography business in Manchester, Connecticut, serving Hartford County and the surrounding area. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to rickmorganphoto.com, to inquiry and lead forms we run on Google, Facebook, Instagram and other platforms, and to email, phone and text conversations with us.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you fill out a lead form, contact form or booking request, or reach out by email, phone or text, we may collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number, and city or ZIP code

• The type of session you're interested in (for example, headshots, family, or senior portraits), preferred dates, and any details you choose to share

• Booking, scheduling and payment details needed to complete a session (card payments are handled by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers)

Information collected automatically. When you visit rickmorganphoto.com or interact with our ads, our website host and advertising partners may collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, the link or ad that brought you to us, and general location derived from your IP address. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

How we use your information

• Respond to your inquiry and follow up by email, phone or text about the session you asked about

• Schedule, prepare for and deliver your photo session and images

• Send occasional updates or offers, only if you agree; you can opt out anytime

• Measure and improve our website and advertising

• Meet legal, tax and accounting obligations

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with other businesses for their own marketing. Reply STOP to any text message, or use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, to stop receiving them.

Lead forms, cookies and advertising

Lead forms on ad platforms. When you submit a lead form in a Google ad (on Search, YouTube or Discover) or a similar form on Facebook or Instagram, the platform passes the information you entered to us so we can contact you. The platform's own privacy policy also applies to its handling of that data: Google Privacy Policy and Meta Privacy Policy.

Cookies and ad measurement. Our website and ads may use cookies, pixels and tags from Squarespace, Google (including Google Analytics and Google Ads), Meta and Nextdoor to understand site traffic, measure whether our ads work, and show our ads to people who have visited our site.

Your choices. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can limit personalized ads through Google Ad Settings, your Facebook ad preferences, or the industry opt-out at optout.aboutads.info. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Who we share it with

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run the business, and only as much as they need:

• Website hosting and forms (Squarespace)

• Email and file storage (Google Workspace)

• Advertising and analytics platforms (Google, Meta, Nextdoor)

• Payment processing, online scheduling, and image gallery or print delivery services

• An assistant who helps manage client inquiries, under a duty of confidentiality

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights or safety or that of others, or as part of a sale or transfer of the business.

Your photographs

Images from your session are delivered through a private gallery and are not made public without your permission. We use session images in our portfolio, website, social media or ads only when you have agreed to it in writing, such as in a signed model release or client agreement. You can ask us at any time to stop using an image for future promotion, and we will honor that request going forward.

Retention and security

We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond and follow up, and client records for as long as needed to deliver your images and meet tax and legal requirements. We then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable safeguards, such as password-protected accounts and two-step verification, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

Children

Our website and lead forms are intended for adults 18 and older. Sessions involving minors are booked by a parent or guardian, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

Your rights

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop contacting you. Residents of Connecticut and other states with consumer privacy laws may have additional rights under those laws, including the right to opt out of targeted advertising. To make a request, email us; we will respond within 45 days and will not treat you differently for making one.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
