Privacy policy
Last updated 17 October 2026
This policy explains what personal information I collect, why, and what rights you have.
1. Who I am
I am Liam Rodgers, trading as Liam Rodgers Photography, a photographer based in London, United Kingdom. I am the “data controller” for personal information collected through this website and when you book or work with me. You can contact me about anything in this policy at contact@liamrodgersphotography.com.
2. What information I collect
- Enquiry and booking details: your name, email address, phone number (if you give one), preferred date, session type, package and any message you write.
- Communications: emails and messages we exchange, including notes from our Zoom meet and greet.
- Photographs: images taken of you during your session and the gallery selections you make.
- Payment records: invoices and confirmation that you have paid. Card details are handled by the payment provider and I do not store them.
- Technical data: like most websites, loading this site sends your IP address to the servers that deliver it. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so your IP address is also sent to Google. This site does not set tracking or advertising cookies. If I add analytics later, I will update this policy first.
3. How and why I use it
I only use your information where I have a lawful reason under UK GDPR:
- To respond to your enquiry, arrange and carry out your session, and deliver your photographs (performance of a contract, or steps you ask for before a contract).
- To keep accounts and meet tax and legal duties (legal obligation).
- To run and protect my business, such as keeping records of enquiries and bookings (legitimate interests).
- To show your photographs in my portfolio, website, social media or submissions, or to send you news and offers (your consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
4. Your photographs
Photographs of you are personal data. I will only use them for my own promotion if you have agreed to this, and you can tell me before or after your session if you would rather I did not. If you ask me to stop, I will remove them from my website and social media promptly. I cannot recall images already published by others or printed. Ownership and usage of images are set out in my Terms & Conditions.
5. Who I share it with
I do not sell your information. I share it only with providers who help me run the service, such as my email and website hosts, the booking-form provider Formspree, video-meeting software (for example Zoom), online gallery and file-delivery services, payment providers, and my accountant. They may only use your information to provide their service to me. I may also share it where the law requires.
6. Transfers outside the UK
Some providers store or process data outside the UK. Where that happens I rely on UK-approved safeguards, such as an adequacy decision or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum.
7. How long I keep it
I keep information only as long as needed for the reasons above. Enquiries that do not lead to a booking are deleted after a reasonable period. Invoices and accounting records are kept for six years for tax purposes. Photographs and galleries are kept for as long as is reasonably needed to supply and re-supply your images, and then securely deleted. Ask me if you want something deleted sooner.
8. Your rights
You have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the information I hold about you;
- have inaccurate information corrected;
- ask me to delete your information or restrict how I use it;
- object to my use of your information, and ask for it in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time where I rely on it.
To use any of these rights, email contact@liamrodgersphotography.com. If you are unhappy with how I have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
9. Security
I use reasonable measures to protect your information, including password-protected accounts and private, access-controlled galleries. No online service is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive information by email unless necessary.
10. Children
My services are aimed at adults. I will only photograph anyone under 18 with the consent of a parent or guardian.
11. Other websites and changes
This site links to other websites, such as Instagram, which have their own privacy policies. I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it last changed.
