4. OUR LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process personal data only where we have an appropriate legal basis.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Performance of a contract

Where processing is necessary to provide a service or product you have requested or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

For example, this may apply when you enquire about or book a photography service, register for a workshop or purchase a digital product.

Legal obligations

Where processing is necessary to comply with tax, accounting or other legal requirements.

Legitimate interests

Where processing is reasonably necessary for operating, administering and protecting our business, communicating with customers, maintaining appropriate records, improving our services or protecting our legal rights, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

Consent

Where we specifically ask for and rely upon your permission.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

​

5. PHOTOGRAPHY AND IMAGES

When you engage Studio Angelakia for photography services, we process photographs and related information as necessary to plan, provide, edit and deliver the photography service you have requested.

Copyright in photographs created by Studio Angelakia remains with the photographer(s), subject to any usage licence agreed with the client.

We may use selected photographs to present and promote the work of Studio Angelakia, including in our portfolio, website, social media or promotional materials, where we have an appropriate legal basis to do so.

Where we rely on your consent for such promotional use, you may withdraw that consent for future use by contacting us at:

angelakiaphotography@gmail.com

Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.

Specific photography services may also be subject to separate booking, quotation, licensing or usage terms provided to the client.

​

6. WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS AND EVENTS

If you enquire about, book or attend a Studio Angelakia workshop, seminar or event, we may process information necessary to:

  • manage your enquiry or registration;

  • process your payment;

  • communicate information about the event;

  • administer cancellations, changes or refunds;

  • provide the workshop, seminar or event; and

  • maintain appropriate business and legal records.

If photographs or video are created during an event for promotional purposes, information or permissions relating to that use may be provided separately where appropriate.

​

7. DIGITAL PRODUCTS

When you purchase a Studio Angelakia digital product, including Bridal Photo Fixer™, we may process information necessary to:

  • provide access to the product;

  • send access links, downloads, bonuses or other included materials;

  • provide customer support;

  • deal with technical issues, purchase enquiries or refunds;

  • maintain transaction and accounting records; and

Digital products may also be subject to separate Terms of Purchase & Use presented at or before purchase.

 

8. EMAIL AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may use services such as Flodesk to manage email communications, customer lists, product-delivery emails and marketing communications.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before sending marketing communications.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option contained in the email or by contacting:

angelakiaphotography@gmail.com

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending communications that are necessary in connection with an existing booking, purchase, service or transaction.

​

9. SOCIAL MEDIA AND AUTOMATED MESSAGING

Studio Angelakia may communicate with you through social-media platforms and automated messaging tools.

We currently use ManyChat in connection with automated Instagram messaging.

If you interact with these services, information such as your social-media account details, messages and responses may be processed as necessary to provide the requested communication or interaction.

Your use of the relevant social-media platform is also subject to that platform's own privacy practices.

 

10. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THIRD PARTIES

We use third-party services to operate Studio Angelakia and provide our services.

Depending on how you interact with us, these may include:

Zapier — automation and transfer of information between business services.

ManyChat — automated social-media communications.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf or, in some circumstances, as independent data controllers subject to their own legal obligations and privacy policies.

We may also use professional advisers, accountants, technical providers or other services where reasonably necessary for the operation of the business.

We disclose personal information only where reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose or where required by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

​

11. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some of the service providers we use may process or store information outside Greece or the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal information is transferred outside the EEA, we will rely on an applicable lawful transfer mechanism or appropriate safeguards where required by data-protection law.

​

12. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

This may include periods necessary to:

  • provide the requested service or product;

  • maintain appropriate client and transaction records;

  • meet tax, accounting or other legal requirements;

  • resolve disputes;

  • maintain photography archives where appropriate; and

  • establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

When personal information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymise it where reasonably possible, subject to legal, technical and backup requirements.

​

13. COOKIES AND WEBSITE TECHNOLOGIES

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website operation or that help us understand and improve website use.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be used in accordance with the choices you make through the website's cookie or consent controls.

Additional information may be provided through the website's cookie notice or cookie settings.

 

14. DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

15. CHILDREN AND PHOTOGRAPHY

Studio Angelakia does not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing purposes.

Our photography services may, however, involve photographing children, families or events involving minors.

Where this occurs, information relating to a child is handled in connection with the photography service and, where appropriate, through the child's parent or legal guardian.

17. COMPLAINTS
