This Privacy Policy outlines how Kular Brothers Photography complies with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). This Policy explains how we collect, process, manages and stores your personal details and what your rights are under GDPR and how they are adhered to.

​Kular Brothers Photography is committed to safeguarding the privacy of its website users and its customers.

​Your Personal Information

​By Personal Information we are referring to a visitor’s personal name, e-mail address and any other information they deem fit to provide. Personal Information can be gathered via an online contact form, by the posting of a comment in relation to content on the site, or by interacting with one of Kular Brothers Photography’s Social Media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest). We may also request Personal Information when hosting a competition whereby applicants must apply to participate.

Under no circumstances will any Personal Information be used for anything other than the reason it has been submitted for. We reserve the right to use any Personal Information for promotion administration purposes, including but not limited to verification and notification of winners as applicable.

​Any Personal Information obtained regarding an enquiry will be stored within the medium in which it was received and, unless a booking is complete, all Personal Information will be anonymised prior to the date of the event or six months after final contact is made (which ever is later). Where a booking is made, relevant Personal Information provided by the client will be stored for a period of ten (10) years after the date of the event.

All electronic devices where your Personal Information is stored, for example, mobile phone, tablet and desktop, all contain passwords. Images are stored on external hard drives which are password protected. Any paper documents where your Personal Information can be accessed are stored in a secure, private location only accessible by Kular Brothers Photography.

Kular Brothers Photography may at times use an assistant under these circumstances they will have access to your name and telephone number for the duration of the event. All paperwork with this Personal Information on will be destroyed after the event has been carried out.

Personal Information shall not be shared with Third Party operators or websites, unless considered necessary when completing your transaction. This Site holds no responsibility for privacy policies on other sites, but endeavours to only work with GDPR compliant companies.

Kular Brothers Photography may need to disclose Personal Information, when necessary, in the instance of insurance claim, or legal reason that may occur. Wherever possible Kular Brothers Photography will inform those affected prior to the release of Personal Information.

Communication with you

Kular Brothers Photography will contact you regarding your enquiry, booking, to collect fees or monies owed, or as otherwise necessary. For these purposes we may contact you via email, telephone, text message, messenger apps and / or postal mail.

Cookies

Kular Brothers Photography uses cookies to improve your user experience and provide data to enable us to improve our services on the website.

We use Google Analytics to track non-personal data about our visitors such as location, time spent on the website and which pages were viewed. This data is not used to track or identify. You can view Google Analytics Privacy Policy here. You can learn more about Cookies here.

Images

GDPR legislation states that a photograph may contain some form of personal data where they can be processed to allow “the unique identification or authentication of a natural person”. Kular Brothers Photography will never photograph an individual as a means of unique identification or authentication unless contracted to do so.

Guests captured in portraits or in group photos do so as part of the event and their rights are protected by Kular Brothers Photography as detailed in this Privacy Policy. Guests at events, where Kular Brothers Photography has been contracted to capture images, appear in photos taken by Kular Brothers Photography as a part of the documentation of the event.

In terms of explicit GDPR compliance, clients and guests are photographed within the parameters of GDPR legislation on the basis of ‘legitimate interests’. The taking of photographs of guests when viewed as a form of processing personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of Kular Brothers Photography as a photography business unless there is a good reason to protect a given individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.

Operating within the parameters of legitimate interests as laid out in GDPR legislation, the disproportionate effort involved in providing Privacy Policy information to all guests at the event and the degree to which it would distract us from performing our job renders it infeasible to do. Booking clients are therefore requested in their contract to direct their guests to read this Privacy Policy in advance of the event and to advise them to contact us in advance with any concerns around the processing of their personal data, namely being photographed.

We may display any photographs to promote Kular Brothers Photography on our website, on social media, on photography related websites, in exhibitions, in advertising, brochures, magazine articles and other such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without damage to Kular Brothers Photography’s client(s). The rights of the people captured in these photographs are protected by Kular Brothers Photography as detailed in this Privacy Policy.

Kular Brothers Photography retains the full copyright of any photographs produced. Images captured at events will be retained for a minimum of 2 years after the date of the event.

Your Right to Access information or Withdraw your Data

Anyone photographed by Kular Brothers Photography, whether a client or guest, and whether past or current may withdraw consent for a photograph in which they appear to be displayed. The process for this is to email us specifying the photo in question.

After your request has been made, Kular Brothers Photography will take the necessary step to remove the image online.

You have the right to contact Kular Brothers Photography at anytime and ask to view the Personal Information that the business has stored on you. You have the right to ask to have such information deleted or removed. If you would like access to your stored data please contact us on info@kularbrothers.com

Right to amend our Privacy Statement

Kular Brothers Photography reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes shall be effective right upon posting up on the Site. Last updated December 2019.
