  • Provide occasional updates or promotional content (only with your consent).

  • Improve website functionality and user experience.

  • Ensure legal compliance and protect against misuse.

We may share your information with:

  • Trusted Service Providers: For purposes like analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), email newsletters, image delivery platforms (e.g., Pixieset, Pic-Time,), or online booking software.

  • Legal Authorities: If required by law or to protect our legal rights, safety, or property.

  • Request access to or deletion of your personal data.

  • Correct inaccurate data or update your preferences.

  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time.

To exercise your rights, email us at raelynnphotographyco@gmail.com.

7. Client Gallery & Image Privacy

Private image galleries are password-protected and shared only with clients (and any third parties you authorize). We do not share or publish your images without written permission , and all image use follows the terms outlined in your contract.

8. Data Retention

We retain client data (e.g., contracts, galleries, contact info) only as long as necessary to fulfill our services and meet legal or tax requirements. You may request deletion of data at any time (unless legally required to retain it).

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable security practices to protect your information. However, no digital transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use secure passwords and notify us immediately of any any suspicious activity.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may include links to third-party websites (such as vendors, blogs, or booking platforms). These external sites operate independently and have their own privacy policies. RaeLynn Photography Co is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party sites. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.

11. Photography Usage & Model Release

We deeply value client privacy. Any use of your likeness–including sharing images on our website, blog, or social media–requires a signed photography release as part of your service agreement. We will never publish or share personal images without your explicit written permission.

If you would like to request removal of previously published content, please email raelynnphotographyco@gmail.com, and we will review and respond promptly.

12. Children and Minor’s Privacy

RaeLynn Photography Co is committed to protecting the privacy and dignity of children and minors across all photography services. While our core services are intended for adults age 18 and older, we understand that children may be present at events such as weddings, elopements, and public gatherings.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from minors without verified parental or guardian consent. However, minors may appear in photographs taken at events where RaeLynn Photography Co has been contracted to provide coverage.

By attending such an event (e.g, wedding, elopement, or public venue) where RaeLynn Photography Co has been hired, attendees–including parents or guardians of minors–acknowledge and provided implied consent for the capturing of images in the course of standard documentation, as permitted by the event host(s) or contract signee(s).

Any use of these images for promotional or marketing purposes (e.g., RaeLynn Photography Co website or social media) will still require explicit written release from a parent or legal guardian of any identifiable minor, unless the image is part of a candid, the parent or guardian is present with the minor, part of a group, or public event where no individual child is prominently featured or identified.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe an image of your child has been used without appropriate authorization, please contact us at raelynnphotographyco@gmail.com, and we will review the matter promptly.

13. Content Boundaries & Values

RaeLynn Photography Co is rooted in honoring legacy, creativity, and Christ through timeless storytelling. As such, we do not photograph, support, or distribute any content involving nudity, sexually suggestive themes, or explicit material.

We reserve the right to decline projects or requests that do not align with our values, including but not limited to:

  • Nude or boudoir sessions

  • Sexually explicit or suggestive poses

  • Projects involving adult entertainment or related imagery

We are committed to creating a safe, respectful environment for all clients and preserving the integrity of the stories we help tell.
