Ash Nichole Photos LLC
Effective date: August 5, 2026

Ash Nichole Photos LLC ("Ash Nichole Photos," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, submit an inquiry, book photography services, communicate with us, or participate in our email or text messaging programs.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Your name, email address, telephone number, mailing or billing address, and social-media contact information;

  • Details about your photography inquiry, session, event, wedding, family, participants, preferences, and requested services;

  • Booking, contract, invoice, payment-status, scheduling, questionnaire, gallery, print-order, and customer-service information;

  • Communications you send to us by email, telephone, text message, website form, social media, or through our client-management platform;

  • Marketing and text-message preferences, including the date, time, source, and method of your consent or opt-out request; and

  • Photographs, videos, testimonials, or other content you choose to provide, subject to the terms of your photography agreement and any applicable model release.

Payment card information is processed by our payment processors. We generally do not receive or store complete payment card numbers.

When you use our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, approximate location, and interactions with the website. We may collect this information through cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and provide photography services;

  • Create and administer bookings, contracts, invoices, questionnaires, schedules, galleries, print orders, and client accounts;

  • Send service-related communications, including inquiry follow-ups, booking information, payment notices, appointment reminders, preparation instructions, gallery notifications, and customer-support messages;

  • Send promotional emails or text messages when you have provided the consent required for that communication;

  • Personalize and improve our website, services, client experience, and marketing;

  • Maintain business records, prevent fraud or misuse, protect our rights and property, and comply with legal, tax, accounting, insurance, and regulatory obligations; and

  • Enforce our agreements and resolve disputes.

3. Email and Text Messages

If you opt in to text messages, Ash Nichole Photos LLC may send recurring automated messages about your inquiry, booking, appointment reminders, photography services, and, when separately disclosed at opt-in, promotional offers. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us using the information below. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing or booking photography services.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in an applicable email. We may still send non-promotional communications concerning an active inquiry, booking, contract, payment, or transaction when permitted by law.

Mobile information will not be shared, sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text-message opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties except with vendors that help us operate our messaging program, and only as necessary to provide that service.

4. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information to service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, client relationship management, scheduling, contract and questionnaire management, payment processing, email delivery, text messaging, gallery hosting, printing and album fulfillment, analytics, cloud storage, bookkeeping, professional advising, and fraud prevention. These providers may use the information only as necessary to perform services for us or as otherwise permitted by their agreements and applicable law.

We may also disclose information:

  • When required by law, legal process, court order, or a lawful government request;

  • To protect the rights, safety, property, or security of our business, clients, website visitors, or others;

  • In connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, sale, reorganization, or transfer of all or part of our business; or

  • With your direction or consent.

We do not sell personal information for money.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Our website and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website traffic, measure advertising, and improve our services. You may adjust cookie settings through your browser or any cookie controls offered on our website. Disabling cookies may affect some website functions.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, administer bookings and galleries, maintain business and tax records, document communication consent, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods vary according to the type of information and our reason for keeping it.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures intended to protect personal information. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults arranging photography services. We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without authorization from a parent or legal guardian.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information. You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you provided, or to ask questions about our privacy practices. Certain information may be retained when required for legal, contractual, tax, accounting, security, or recordkeeping purposes.

To withdraw text-message consent, reply STOP to a message. We will also honor other reasonable requests that clearly communicate your desire to stop receiving texts.
