We do not knowingly partner with any parties with less than an excellent track record and sound policies in these areas. 3. We will not email you in the future unless you have given us your consent (unless it is to confirm orders or delivery). We will not text you in the future unless you have given us your consent. 4. We will give you the opportunity to refuse any marketing email or text message from us in the future. 5.

If we intend to transfer your information outside the EEA (European Economic Area) for uses other than order fulfillment, we will always obtain your consent first. 11. We may use technology to track the patterns of behaviour of registered and non-registered visitors to our site. This can include using a "cookie" which would be stored on your computer. You can usually modify your browser to prevent this happening (for example, using Internet Explorer select 'internet options' from the 'tools' menu, then click 'security', followed by 'custom level' and select 'disable cookies'). The information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you modify your browser settings. We may also aggregate this data to perform statistical analyses of the characteristics and behaviour of our registered users and non-registered visitors, in order to help us improve the functionality of our site for our users. Cookies are also used as a further means of ensuring private and secure purchase sessions are operated within the site. 12. Sometimes, we may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use a service. For example, if we were to build a personalised account area. 13. We will need certain information such as your name, address and payment details in order to provide you our services and to allow you to buy products from us. 14. Every time you connect to our website we store a log of your visit which shows the unique number your machine uses when it is connected to the internet (IP address). This tells us what you looked at; whether the page request was successful or not and which browser you used to view the pages. The use of this data is primarily for statistical purposes. This helps us to understand which areas of the site are of particular interest and also which pages are not being requested. It also tells how many people are visiting the website in total. This data can also help us prevent fraudulent activity on the site. 15. McWilliams Photography may amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will notify you by email or an announcement on the website. 16. If you have any questions/comments about privacy, please email us at studio@mcwilliamsphotography.com or call us on 01475 670 582 (International: +44 1475 670 582).
