Privacy & Your Proofs
How we look after your contact details, keep your contact sheets and scans private, and never publish a client's or child's portrait without written consent.
What we collect
When you send a message through the contact page we receive your name, email address, and — if you choose to give them — your phone number and the type of shoot you're interested in. When you join the open-dates list we receive your email address only.
Why we use it
We use those details to answer your question, arrange a session, and send the open-dates email you asked for. We don't sell or rent your details, and we don't add you to any list you didn't sign up for.
How long we keep it
Enquiries are kept for as long as we need them to help you, and no longer than two years after our last conversation. You stay on the email list until you unsubscribe using the link in any email.
Who else sees it
Only the Silver & Co team and the service providers that host this website and deliver our email. If you choose a payment plan, your details go to the payment provider only with your permission. Your proofs and scans are shared with you alone, and no portrait is shown publicly without a signed model release.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct, or delete what we hold about you at any time. Email [email protected] or call (000) 000-0000 and a photographer will take care of it.
Cookies
This site doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. Its two typefaces, Playfair Display and Plus Jakarta Sans, are served from this website's own files, so no font request goes to a third party.
