As part of our photography services, we may create photographs and other visual content featuring you, your guests, employees, products or event.

The photographs may be stored securely for the purposes of editing, delivery, backup, customer service and maintaining appropriate business records.

We will not use identifiable photographs for unrelated promotional purposes without an appropriate lawful basis, including consent where required.

With your permission, SaleemStudios may use selected photographs for promotional purposes, including:

• Our website
• Portfolio
• Social media
• Advertising

Where consent is required, you may withdraw your consent for future promotional use by contacting us.

Promotional use does not affect photographs that have already been lawfully published before consent was withdrawn.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and applicable UK data protection law, we process personal information using appropriate lawful bases.

These may include:

• Contract: Where processing is necessary to provide photography services you have booked.
• Consent: Where you have given permission for a specific use of your information or photographs.
• Legal obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with legal requirements.

Where appropriate, we expect third parties processing information on our behalf to protect it appropriately.

Photography files and customer information may be stored electronically using appropriate storage and backup systems.

However, no online system or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Photography files may be retained for a reasonable period following delivery to assist with customer support, re-downloads, backup and business record keeping.

Some information may need to be retained for longer where required for accounting, tax, legal, regulatory or dispute-resolution purposes.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or dispose of it.

We do not knowingly collect children's personal information unnecessarily.
