A legal disclaimer
The information provided on this page is intended as a general guide to how personal data is collected, used, and protected on this website. It does not constitute legal advice. As a UK-based sole trader, this website aims to comply with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Privacy Policy - the basics
This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses, and protects any personal information you provide when using this site or contacting me. As a photography business, I may collect personal data such as your name, email address, telephone number, and postal address when you make an enquiry, book photography services, purchase prints, or communicate with me directly. This information is provided by you voluntarily and is used solely for the purpose of delivering my services.
Under UK data protection law, personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. This means your information will only be used where necessary to respond to your enquiry, fulfil a contract, or manage my business operations in a way that respects your rights and privacy.
How your information is used
Your personal information is used only to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, provide photography services, and process and deliver any purchased prints or products. All communication is handled directly and personally, and your data is never sold, shared without your consent. Any information you provide is treated with strict confidentiality and handled with care at all times.
Data storage and security
Your personal data is stored securely and only retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, including any legal, tax, or administrative requirements. Reasonable steps are taken to protect your data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access, and access to this information is limited solely to the business owner.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data held about you, request corrections where necessary, request deletion of your data, and object to how your data is processed. You also have the right to withdraw consent where it has been given. Any such requests will be handled promptly and respectfully upon contact.
Ownership of images
All photographs displayed on this website are the property of Abbey Broughton Lloyd, unless otherwise stated. Under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, copyright is automatically assigned to the photographer at the moment an image is created. This means all images on this website are protected as original artistic works and remain the intellectual property of the photographer.
Use of images
Images on this website may not be copied, reproduced, edited, distributed, or used in any form without prior written permission. Any unauthorised use of images may result in legal action to protect the rights of the photographer.
Prints and copyright
The purchase of a photographic print does not transfer copyright ownership. When you purchase a print, you are buying a physical product only, and all intellectual property rights remain with the photographer unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Images of people
Some photographs displayed on this website may include individuals who are not personally known to me. These images may have been captured in public spaces, at events, or as part of artistic or documentary work. Under UK law, such photography is generally permitted where it is carried out for artistic purposes or under legitimate interest. If you appear in an image and would like it removed, you are welcome to get in contact and your request will be considered promptly and respectfully.
