GROUNDS FOR USING AND PROCESSING YOUR DATA
The information We collect and store is used primarily to allow Us to offer goods and services for sale. In addition, BECCA HERR PHOTOGRAPHY LLC may collect, use, and process Your information based on the following grounds:
LEGITIMATE BUSINESS INTERESTS
We may use and process Your data for Our legitimate business interests, which include, among other things, communicating with You, improving Our goods or services, improving Our website, and providing You with the information or products that You have requested.
Performance of a Contract: We may use and process Your information to enter into a contract with You and to perform Our contractual obligations to You.
Consent: We may use Your data, or permit selected third parties to use Your data, based on Your consent to Our use and sharing of that data. You may withdraw Your consent at any time, but doing so may affect Your ability to use Our website or other offerings.
As required by law: We may also use or process Your data as required for Us to comply with legal obligations.
WHY WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
We may share Your information with third parties in certain situations. In particular, We may share Your data with third-party processors as needed to serve Our legitimate business interests, which include administration of Our website, administration of Your account, entering into contracts with You, communicating with You, taking orders for goods or services, delivering Our goods and services, identifying trends, protecting the security of Our company and website, and marketing additional goods and services to You. The legal basis for Our disclosure of Your data is both Your Consent to this Privacy Policy and Our own right to protect and promote Our legitimate business interests.
The following are specific reasons why We may share Your information:
Third Party Processing: We may disclose Your information to third parties who assist Us with various tasks, including payment processing, hosting services, email delivery, communications, and customer service. We may not always disclose these third-party processors if not required by law. We do not authorize them to use or disclose Your personal information except in connection with providing Our company with their services.
By Law: We may share Your data as required by law or to respond to legal process, including a subpoena, or as necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others. This includes sharing information with other parties to prevent or address fraud and to avoid credit risks.
To Protect Our Company: We may use Your information to protect Our company, including to investigate and remedy any violations of Our rights or policies. We may also disclose Your information as reasonably necessary to acquire and maintain insurance coverage, manage risks, obtain financial or legal advice, or to exercise or defend against legal claims.
Business Transfers: In the unlikely event Our company engages in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy proceedings, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding, We may transfer or share Your data as part of that proceeding. In such transitions, customer information is one of the business assets that is acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such business transfers may occur and that Your personal information can continue to be stored, used, or processed as otherwise set forth in this privacy policy.
Third-Party Marketing: We may disclose Your information to certain third parties “INCLUDING FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, HONEYBOOK, INSTAGRAM, PIC-TIME, and SQUARESPACE” for the purpose of enabling them to contact You so that they can offer You relevant goods and services.
Affiliates: We may share Your personal information with Our business affiliates who promote Our product(s) or service(s) for a commission fee. We require Our affiliates to honor this Privacy Policy. They are not allowed to spam You and must disclose they are an affiliate for Us. If they do not do so, they are in violation of their affiliate terms and this Privacy Policy, and any violation of this nature should be reported to info@beccaherrphotography.com.
Advertisers: We may use third-party advertising companies to run and manage Our ads, such as FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, HONEYBOOK, INSTAGRAM, PIC-TIME, and SQUARESPACE to produce ads that appears when You visit Our website or mobile app. These companies may use information about Your visit to Our website and other websites that are contained in web cookies (as described below) to offer You personalized advertisements about goods and services that might interest You. We cannot control the activities of such other advertisers or web sites. You should consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party advertisers for more detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of certain practices.
Please note that, at this time, We do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking systems, which may include “do not track” instructions.
Other Third Parties: We may share information with advertisers, Our investors, or other third parties for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. If We do so, We will make reasonable efforts to inform You if required by law.
Interaction With Others: If You interact with others on Our website or mobile app, such as participating in a group chat or a group online course, other users may have access to some of Your data, including Your name, profile picture, and Your history of interaction with Our website, such as prior comments or posts.
Online Postings: When You post online, Your posts may be viewed by others, and We may distribute Your comments outside the website.
External Links: Our website may include hyperlinks to other websites not controlled by Us. We suggest You exercise caution when clicking on a hyperlink. Although We use reasonable care in including a hyperlink on Our own web page, We do not regularly monitor the websites of these third parties and are not responsible for any damage or consequences You suffer by using these hyperlinks. We are not bound by the Privacy Policies of any third-party website that You access by a hyperlink, nor are they bound by ours. We encourage You to read the Policies of those third-party websites before interacting with them or making purchases. They may collect different information and by different methods than We do.
Other Purposes: We may disclose Your personal data as necessary to comply with any legal obligation or to protect Your interests, or the vital interests of others or Our company.

PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION
In most cases, We do not process Your information directly. Instead, We rely on third-party processors. For example, when You make a payment through PayPal, that processor handles Your payment data and transfers the funds to Us. As such, it is often necessary for Us to transmit Your information to these third parties to fulfill services We cannot perform in-house. More details on third-party processing are provided below.
However, We may, from time to time, process Your data internally. The legal basis for this processing may include:
Your explicit consent,
Our legitimate business interests, and/or
Compliance with legal obligations.
Internal processing is carried out for purposes such as:
Administering, maintaining, and improving Our website and services;
Entering into and fulfilling contracts with You;
Keeping records of transactions and communications;
Complying with legal obligations;
Obtaining professional advice; and
Protecting the rights and interests of Our company, customers (including You), and third parties.
We may process the following types of data:
Account Data: Name, email address, mailing address, payment information.
Usage Data: IP address, browser information, geographic location, pages visited, and session duration.

User-Generated Content: Comments, posts, or responses shared on Our site.
Inquiry Data: Information You submit when contacting Us with questions.
Transaction Data: Purchase history, payment information, and related contact details.
Subscription Data: Email addresses and preferences related to newsletters or other communications.
Correspondence Data: Information provided in email or other communications with Us.
Other Data: Any additional information collected and processed to fulfill legal obligations or protect vital interests.
INTERNATIONAL DATA
Our website is hosted on servers located in the United States of America (USA). If You are located outside the USA, please note that Your information will be transferred internationally and stored on servers within the USA. Additionally, We may work with third-party processors and subcontractors based in the USA or other countries.
We take reasonable steps to protect Your data during transfer and storage by:
Hosting on reputable, secure servers;
Encrypting sensitive information, such as payment data;
Engaging only with reputable third-party processors.
By using Our website and providing information, You acknowledge and consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of Your data in the USA. Be aware that the data protection laws in the USA may differ from those in Your country of residence.
Additional details:
We may transfer data outside Our headquarters for processing or storage by staff or third-party partners (e.g., order fulfillment providers).
Data is stored on secure servers. While We use encryption and other security measures, data transmission over the internet is not 100% secure. You transmit data at Your own risk.
Where applicable, You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password-protected data and for any breaches resulting from the failure to do so.
Transfers to the EU, UK, and Switzerland
We may use website hosting servers and third-party processors or subcontractors located in the EU, UK, or Switzerland—countries recognized by the European Commission as having adequate data protection standards under an Adequacy Determination.
Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework Participation
Some of Our processors, such as Google LLC and Squarespace, Inc., participate in the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal data from the EU to the U.S.
DATA RETENTION
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill Our legitimate business purposes, comply with legal obligations, or until You request its deletion. For example, We may retain certain personal data indefinitely to maintain Your account unless You request that it be deleted.
Data collected for a specific purpose—such as legal compliance or trend analysis—is retained only as long as necessary for that purpose. Once personal data is no longer required for any of the reasons stated above, it will be securely and permanently deleted.
We will honor Your request to delete Your personal data unless We are legally required to retain it. However, please note that We do not control the data retention policies of third parties. If You wish to request deletion of Your data held by third parties to whom We have transmitted information, You will need to contact them directly. Upon request, We can provide You with a list of such third-party service providers.
We may retain usage data (e.g., data collected by analytics tools) for internal analysis and website improvement. This data is typically stored for a shorter period than personal data unless needed for security enhancement or legal compliance.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
We take reasonable steps to safeguard Your personal data using industry-standard security practices. This includes secure payment systems and technical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is entirely secure. While We strive to protect Your personal data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security. Any transmission of data to Us is done at Your own risk.
By consenting to this Privacy Policy, You acknowledge that Your data may be transmitted over the internet and made accessible in different jurisdictions, which may subject it to differing levels of legal protection. We cannot prevent the misuse of Your data by unauthorized third parties.
In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to Your rights and freedoms, We will notify You promptly in accordance with applicable law.
