Our website uses Formspree to process information submitted through our online contact form.

When you submit an inquiry through the contact form, the information you provide is transmitted to the service used to process the form and is made available to AJP PIXELS so that we can respond to your request.

We recommend that you do not submit highly sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, passwords, financial account numbers, or other information that is not necessary for a photography inquiry.

AJP PIXELS does not sell your personal information as part of our ordinary photography business operations.

We may share information with service providers when necessary to operate our website, process inquiries, communicate with clients, or provide photography services.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of AJP PIXELS, our clients, or others.

6. Photography and Client Images

Photography services may involve the creation of photographs containing identifiable individuals.

The use of client photographs for portfolio, advertising, social media, website, or other promotional purposes will be handled according to the applicable photography agreement, photo release, or other written authorization between AJP PIXELS and the client.

AJP PIXELS does not assume that a client's participation in a photography session automatically gives permission to use their photographs for promotional purposes.

7. Data Security

AJP PIXELS takes reasonable steps to protect information provided by clients and website visitors from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We encourage clients to avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through online forms or email.

8. Data Retention

AJP PIXELS may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide services, maintain business and financial records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary for legitimate business or legal purposes, we may delete or securely dispose of it.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and your circumstances, you may have rights concerning personal information that a business maintains about you.

Maryland residents may have privacy rights under applicable Maryland law, including rights relating to access, correction, deletion, and certain uses or disclosures of personal data, subject to applicable exceptions and requirements.
