Nelson Teixeira, trading as Nelson Teixeira Photography, respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit nelsonteixeira.net, contact me or book a photography service, and how that information is used.

Who is responsible for your data?

The data controller is Nelson Teixeira, trading as Nelson Teixeira Photography, based in Portugal.

For any privacy-related question or request, you can contact me at hello@nelsonteixeira.net.

Information I may collect:

Depending on how you use the website or my services, I may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number and information you voluntarily provide through contact forms, email, WhatsApp or during the booking process.

This may also include details relating to your photography session, such as the requested date, location, number of participants and any special requests, as well as transaction information relating to a booking or payment.

Photographs created during a photography session may also constitute personal data when individuals are identifiable.

The website may additionally process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information and website usage data through cookies or similar technologies.

How your information is used:

Your personal data may be used to respond to enquiries, communicate with you, manage bookings and payments, plan and provide photography sessions, deliver photographs and online galleries, manage rescheduling or cancellations, provide customer support, maintain necessary business records and improve the website and services.

Legal basis for processing:

Depending on the circumstances, personal data may be processed because it is necessary to take steps at your request before a booking, to perform a contract with you, to comply with legal obligations, based on legitimate business interests, or with your consent where consent is required.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Photographs and portfolio use:

Photographs taken during a session are processed primarily for the purpose of providing the photography service you have requested.

If identifiable client photographs are used for promotional purposes, such as on my website, portfolio or social media, any permission or other lawful basis required for that use will be respected.

Third-party service providers:

I may use trusted third-party services where necessary to operate the website and provide photography services. These may include website hosting and website tools, payment providers, email services, WhatsApp, online gallery services, analytics tools and other business services.

These providers may process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their services or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

I do not sell your personal data.

International data transfers:

Some service providers may process information outside Portugal or the European Economic Area. Where applicable, such transfers are handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

Data retention:

Personal data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing photography services, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving enquiries or disputes, and complying with accounting, tax or other legal obligations.

Photographs and online galleries may be retained for delivery, backup and archival purposes. Retention periods may vary depending on the service and storage requirements.

Cookies and website analytics:

This website may use cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, analytics and other purposes. For more information about cookies used on this website and the choices available to you, please see the Cookie Policy.

Your data protection rights:

Under applicable data protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to access your personal data, correct inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion or restriction of processing, object to certain processing, receive certain data in a portable format, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@nelsonteixeira.net.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).

Data Security:

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to this Privacy Policy:

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services or legal requirements. The latest version will be published on this page with the date of the most recent update.
