4. SMS Communications and Consent

Margit Anne Photography may offer SMS text messaging for transactional/customer-care communications and, where separately selected, marketing and promotional communications.

4.1 Transactional and Customer-Care SMS

If you voluntarily provide your mobile number and select the applicable SMS consent checkbox, we may send non-marketing text messages related to your interactions with Margit Anne Photography.

These messages may include responses to inquiries, consultation communications, booking confirmations, appointment reminders, scheduling or rescheduling updates, photography service updates, and customer support.

4.2 Marketing and Promotional SMS

If you separately and voluntarily provide marketing SMS consent, Margit Anne Photography may send recurring promotional text messages concerning photography-related updates, availability, special offers, promotions, and other marketing communications.

Marketing SMS consent is separate from transactional/customer-care SMS consent and is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

4.3 How SMS Consent Is Collected

Where SMS consent is collected through our website, the applicable consent language is presented with the form. SMS consent checkboxes are not pre-selected.

Where both transactional/customer-care and marketing SMS communications are offered, separate consent options may be provided so that you can make your communication selections independently.

4.4 Message Frequency

Message frequency varies depending on your interactions with Margit Anne Photography, your service activity, and the communication preferences you select.

For assistance with SMS communications, reply HELP or contact Margit Anne Photography at hello@margitannephotography.com or (860) 823-9686.

4.8 Carrier Disclaimer

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery and availability may depend on your wireless carrier, mobile device, and network availability.

4.9 SMS Consent and Mobile Information

We do not sell or rent your SMS consent, mobile number, or mobile opt-in information.

SMS consent and mobile opt-in information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may disclose information to service providers that assist us in providing SMS communications, such as telecommunications, messaging, customer relationship management, or technology providers, solely as reasonably necessary to provide those services on our behalf and subject to applicable privacy and data-protection obligations.

5. How We Disclose Personal Information

We do not sell personal information as part of our ordinary business operations.

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to:

• Service providers and contractors that help us operate our website, communications, scheduling, payment processing, analytics, hosting, customer management, or other business functions;
• Professional advisers such as accountants, attorneys, or other consultants where reasonably necessary;
• Government authorities or other parties when required by applicable law, legal process, or a valid governmental request;
• Protect the rights, safety, security, and property of Margit Anne Photography, our clients, or others;
• Investigate or prevent suspected fraud, security incidents, or unlawful activity; or

Service providers are permitted to process personal information only as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf and subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

For clarity, SMS consent and mobile opt-in information are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate website functionality, understand website usage, improve performance, remember preferences, and support analytics or other business functions.

You may be able to control certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the availability or functionality of certain website features.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, platforms, payment processors, scheduling services, social media services, or other external services.

Margit Anne Photography does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. Information you provide directly to a third party is governed by that third party's privacy policy and terms.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected and controlled by Margit Anne Photography.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide services, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, our relationship with you, and applicable legal or business requirements.
