Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 October 2026

Maria Ryan-Kadem Photography respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information responsibly.

Information I collect

When you contact me through my website, a Meta (Facebook or Instagram) enquiry form, or book a photography session, I may collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), booking details and any information you choose to share in your message.

My website may also use cookies and analytics technologies, subject to your cookie preferences.

How I use your information

I use your information to:

- Respond to enquiries and answer questions about photography sessions.

- Arrange bookings, communicate with clients and deliver photography services.

- Manage payments, invoices and business records.

- Understand website performance where permitted by your cookie choices.

I do not add you to a marketing mailing list simply because you make an enquiry.

Legal basis

I process enquiry and booking information where necessary to respond to your request, take steps towards a photography contract, perform an agreed contract, comply with legal obligations or pursue legitimate business interests where appropriate.

Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or marketing, I will request it separately.

Third-party services

I use service providers, including Pixieset for my website and client galleries, and Meta for Facebook and Instagram enquiry forms and advertising. I may also use email, analytics and payment services to operate my business.

These providers may process personal information according to their respective privacy policies and applicable data protection requirements.

How long I keep information

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, providing services and meeting legal obligations.

Your rights

Under applicable data protection law, including the GDPR, you may have the right to access, correct or erase your personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, request data portability and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

You may also lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission at www.dataprotection.ie.
