Website Privacy Policy for Zdarko Photography

Effective Date: February 24, 2026

Welcome! At Zdarko Photography, we’re all about capturing the real, the bold, and the beautiful. While we love a good deep dive into your brand story, we’re not about that "creepy data-harvesting" life.

Think of this policy as our digital handshake. It’s here to tell you how we handle your info when you hang out on our site (zdarkophotography.com), book a session, or shop for prints and swag.

1. What "Digital Crumbs" Do We Collect?

When you visit us, we might collect a few bits of info:

  • The Basics: Your name, email, and phone number (only if you give them to us via our contact forms, when booking, or when checking out in the Shop).

  • The Tech Stuff: Your IP address and cookies (not the chocolate chip kind, sadly). These help us understand how you use the site so we can improve it. This may also include basic browser/device info.

  • The Fun Stuff: Any details you share about your vision for a shoot, your brand, and what you’re hoping to create.

2. What Do We Do With It?

We use your info for the good stuff:

  • To chat with you about your upcoming session or order.

  • To deliver your stunning galleries, products, and downloads.

  • To occasionally send you a newsletter with tips, updates, or "Shop for Prints" news (but only if you opted-in—and you can unsubscribe anytime).

  • To keep the digital lights on and make sure the website works the way it’s supposed to on your screen.

  • To process payments securely through third-party payment providers (we do not store your full credit card number on our servers).

3. Who Else Sees Your Info?

We don’t sell your data. That’s just not our style. We may share info with a few trusted "digital assistants" that help us run the business and website, like:

  • Squarespace: Our website home and hosting provider.

  • Payment Processors: To make sure your transactions are safe and secure.

  • Email Tools: To get our messages from our screen to yours.

  • Gallery/Delivery Tools: To deliver your images and digital downloads.

We may also share information if required to comply with the law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Zdarko Photography, our clients, or others.

4. Cookies (Not the Bakery Kind)

We use cookies and similar tech to help the site function and to understand what’s working (and what’s not). You can usually disable cookies through your browser settings, but some features of the site might not work as smoothly if you do.

5. You’re the Boss

It’s your data, and you’re in the driver’s seat. Depending on where you live and what laws apply, you can:

  • Ask us what personal info we have about you.

  • Ask us to correct it if it’s wrong.

  • Ask us to delete it (the "digital eraser" move)—subject to legal/contractual recordkeeping requirements (like taxes or completed transactions).

  • Opt-out of marketing emails at any time using the "unsubscribe" link in the email.

6. Keeping It Safe

We use standard security measures to protect your info from unauthorized access. We treat your data with the same care we treat our high-end lenses—carefully. That said, no internet transmission or storage system is 100% secure.

7. Third-Party Links

Sometimes we link to other websites (like collaborators, local businesses, or tools we love). If you click away from our site, their privacy policies apply—so give them a quick peek if you’re curious.

8. Changes to This Policy

Every now and then, we might tweak this to keep up with new laws, new services, or website updates. We’ll post changes right here and update the Effective Date at the top.

9. Got Questions?

If you’re feeling stuck on this legal island, just reach out—we’re humans, not robots.
