Who I am

Nathan Warren Photography is run by me, Nathan Warren, a sole trader based in Bournemouth, Dorset. I’m the data controller for the personal information described here. You can contact me about anything in this policy at contact@nathanwarrenphotography.com or on 07555 972251.

What information I collect

• Enquiries: your name, email address, phone number, wedding date, venue, how you found me and anything you tell me in your message.
• Bookings: the details in your contract, your postal address, and payment records. Payments will be processed through Stripe.
• Your photographs: images of you, your family and your guests taken at your wedding or portrait session.
• Website use: basic technical information and, if you agree, analytics cookies and tools.

How I use it, and the legal basis

• To reply to your enquiry and prepare a quote (steps you’ve asked me to take before a contract).
• To deliver the photography you’ve booked and manage our contract (performance of a contract).
• To keep financial records for tax (legal obligation).
• To send occasional news or offers, only if you’ve opted in (consent, which you can withdraw at any time).

Photographs and sharing my work

I may share selected images from your wedding in my portfolio, blog, social media and on wedding directories such as Hitched. If you’d rather I didn’t, tell me and I’ll note it in your contract.

Who I share it with

• My online gallery provider, which hosts your photographs (Sprout Studio).
• My website host (IONOS) and the form plugin that stores enquiries on my website.
• Print and album labs (Loxley Colour), only to produce products you’ve ordered.
• A replacement photographer, only if I can’t attend your wedding because of illness or an emergency.

I never sell your information.

How long I keep it

• Enquiries that don’t lead to a booking: 12 months
• Contracts and financial records: 6 years
• Your photographs and online gallery: 12 months for the online gallery, 2 years for RAW files.
