5. Legal Bases for Processing
Under Article 6 GDPR, we rely on the legal basis applicable to each processing activity.
Depending on the circumstances, these may include:
Contractual necessity — Article 6(1)(b) GDPR
Processing necessary to respond to certain pre-contractual requests, prepare a booking or perform a contract with you.
Legal obligations — Article 6(1)(c) GDPR
Processing necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, including relevant accounting and tax requirements.
Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Processing necessary for legitimate interests, such as securing our website, managing business correspondence or establishing and defending legal claims, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
Consent — Article 6(1)(a) GDPR
Processing based on your freely given consent, where consent is the appropriate legal basis, such as certain marketing activities, optional cookies or specific uses of photographs.
Where consent is used, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
The appropriate legal basis depends on the specific activity and circumstances.
6. Photography, Video and Portfolio Use
Our photography and videography services may involve capturing identifiable individuals.
The purposes for which images are used depend on the project and the applicable agreement.
Client delivery: We process project images to fulfil the agreed photography or videography service.
Portfolio and promotion: We may wish to display selected work on our website, social media channels, portfolios or promotional materials. We will establish an appropriate legal basis and obtain any necessary permissions before doing so.
Events: Event photography may involve capturing attendees, speakers, performers and other participants. We will address applicable information, consent and other legal requirements according to the event and the intended use of the images.
If you have a question or concern about an identifiable image, contact us using the details provided in this policy. We will assess your request in light of the applicable legal requirements, existing permissions and the rights of other individuals.
8. Website Hosting and Technical Logs
Our website is hosted by Vercel, a third-party hosting provider.
When you access the website, technical information may be processed to deliver pages, maintain system security, diagnose errors and prevent abuse.
9. Contact Forms and Email Communication
When you contact us through a website form or by email, we process the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, prepare or manage a project.
We retain this information only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, subject to applicable legal retention requirements and legitimate needs to establish or defend legal claims.
Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in general enquiry forms.
10. Payments and Invoicing
If you book our services, we may process information required to prepare invoices, record payments and meet legal obligations.
If third-party payment services are used, those providers may process personal data under their own applicable privacy terms.
11. Third-Party Service Providers
We may use service providers to support our business, including website hosting (Vercel), email, cloud storage, online galleries, invoicing, payments and project management.
Such providers may process personal data on our behalf or act as independent controllers, depending on the service and circumstances.
Where GDPR Article 28 applies, appropriate data processing agreements will be maintained. We will use suitable safeguards for international transfers where required.
13. International Data Transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will assess the applicable requirements and implement appropriate safeguards where required by GDPR Chapter V.
14. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of data:
- Enquiries: for the time needed to respond and manage follow-up
- Client and contract records: for the duration of the relationship and any relevant legal limitation period
- Accounting and tax records: for the applicable statutory retention period
- Photographs and project files: according to the project agreement and our documented retention practices

16. Complaints to a Supervisory Authority
If you believe that our processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection law, you may lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
If our establishment is in Berlin, the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information may be a relevant authority:
Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit
Website: https://www.datenschutz-berlin.de/
The competent authority may depend on the circumstances of the processing.
17. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure.
Measures may include access restrictions, secure accounts, appropriate storage practices and limiting access to information to people who need it for legitimate business purposes.
No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
