  • HOW WILL THIS AFFECT YOU?

 

    1. We collect, store and process your data in such a way that should have no negative effect on you as an individual.
    2. We may display any photographs to promote Khandie Photography on our website, digital and physical mediums and locations, (See below) within the purview of our business and privacy policies and should have no negative effect on you as an individual.

Khandie Photography will contact you regarding your enquiry, booking, to collect fees or monies owed, or as otherwise necessary. For these purposes we may contact you via email, telephone, text message, messenger and/or postal mail. Khandie Photography may need to disclose Personal Information, when necessary, in the event of insurance claims, legal reasons that may occur. Wherever possible Khandie Photography will inform those affected prior to the release of Personal Information. https://eugdpr.org/ GDPR legislation states that a photograph may contain some form of personal data where they can be processed to allow “the unique identification or authentication of a natural person”. Khandie Photography will never photograph an individual as a means of unique identification or authentication unless contracted to do so. Guests at events, conventions, shows, et al, where Khandie Photography has been contracted to capture images on a large scale (There noted in these terms as Event/s), appear in photos taken by Khandie Photography as a part of the documentation of the event. Guests captured in portraits or in group photos do so as part of the event and their rights are protected by Khandie Photography as detailed in this Privacy Policy.   In regards of the terms of explicit GDPR compliance, clients and guests are photographed within the parameters of GDPR legislation on the basis of ‘legitimate interests’. The taking of photographs of guests when viewed as a form of processing personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of Khandie Photography as a photography business (And the event sponsor) unless there is a good reason to protect a given individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. Such interests may be noted but not documented as such because of those conditions. Because of the scope with operating within the parameters of legitimate interests as laid out in GDPR legislation; and the disproportionate nature and effort involved in providing Privacy Policy information to all guests at the event and the degree to which it would distract us from performing our job. Therefore renders it infeasible to do. Booking clients are therefore requested in their contract to direct their guests to read this Privacy Policy in advance of the event and to advise them to contact us in advance with any concerns around the processing of their personal data, namely being photographed. We may display any photographs to promote Khandie Photography on our website, blog, on social media, on photography related websites, magazine article, in exhibitions, in advertising, brochures, and other such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without damage to Khandie Photography client(s). The rights of the people captured in these photographs are protected by Khandie Photography as detailed in this Privacy Policy.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to COPPA, we agree to the following:

Users can visit our site anonymously. Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our homepage or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website. Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above. You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:

  •       On our Privacy Policy Page

Can change your personal information:

  •       By emailing us
  •       By chatting with us or by sending us a support ticket

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals? We honour Do Not Track signals and Do Not Track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. Does our site allow third-party behavioural tracking? It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioural tracking

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old. Do we let third-parties, including ad networks or plug-ins, collect PII from children under 13?

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.   In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:   We will notify you via email

  • Within a reasonable time, we aim for one working week, from notice and investigation taking place.

 

  • We will notify the users via in-site notification within 7 business days

  We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
