How Michaels Photography collects, uses and protects the information you share through this website.

Last updated: November 2, 2026

Who we are

This website is operated by Michaels Photography, a photography business based in New York (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, how we use it and the choices you have. Questions can be sent to info@michaels-photography.com or (914) 482-5333.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you send a quote request or contact form, we collect the details you enter: your name, company, email address, phone number, the type of service, number of people, preferred date, location and any message you write. We also receive whatever you include when you email or call us.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view and the date and time of your visit. This is used to keep the site secure and working properly.

How we use your information

To reply to your enquiry and prepare a quote
To plan, schedule and deliver photography sessions you book
To send invoices and handle payments for booked work
To keep records required for our business and legal obligations
To protect the website against spam, fraud and misuse

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who we share it with

We only share personal information with service providers who help us run this website and our business, such as our website hosting and email providers, and only as needed for them to provide those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

Cookies and third-party services

This website uses cookies that are necessary for it to function, for example to remember form progress and to keep logged-in administrators signed in. Fonts on this site are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google’s servers. Links to Instagram and Google take you to those services, which have their own privacy policies.

If we add analytics or similar tools in the future, we will update this policy.

How long we keep information

We keep enquiry details for as long as needed to respond and, if you book with us, for as long as needed to provide the service and meet our tax and record-keeping obligations. You can ask us to delete enquiry details at any time.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it or delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To make a request, email info@michaels-photography.com.

Photos on this website

Images shown on this website are examples of our work. If you appear in a photo on this site and would like it removed, contact us and we will remove it promptly.

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them through this website.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect the information you send us, including a secure (HTTPS) connection. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
