introduction

The purpose of this policy is to inform you how we handle personal data — what we collect, how it is used, how long we keep it, and your rights regarding that data.

Purpose of This Policy

We only collect information necessary to provide and improve our services:
  • Identification data: name, phone number, email, address (for bookings or invoicing).
  • Booking and session details: date, type of session, family members’ names, preferences.
  • Images and photos created during your session.
  • Payment information: processed securely by Vipps, Klarna or Stripe (we do not store card details).
  • Technical information: IP address, browser type, device, and cookies when you visit our website.

What Personal Data We Collect

  • Responding to inquiries and managing bookings.
  • Preparing contracts and invoices.
  • Delivering and maintaining your online gallery.
  • Processing payments and accounting.
  • Communicating updates and offers (only with consent).
  • Improving our website and user experience through analytics.
We do not sell or rent your information to third parties.

How We Use the Data

We only share data with trusted third-party providers who comply with GDPR:
  • Dubsado – contracts, forms, and client management.
  • Showit – website platform and hosting.
  • Mailchimp – newsletters and marketing emails.
  • Google Analytics 4 – anonymous website traffic analysis.
  • Gmail (Google Workspace) – email communication.
  • Vipps, Klarna, Stripe – secure payment processing.
All third parties operate under Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and use secure systems.

Third-Party Data Processors

Some of our service providers (e.g., Google, Dubsado, Mailchimp) may process data outside the EEA.
In such cases, transfers occur only to countries with adequate data-protection agreements or under EU Standard Contractual Clauses, ensuring equivalent GDPR protection.

Transfers of Data Outside the EEA

As a newborn and family photography studio, image data is central to our work.
  • Photographs are processed only to deliver your purchased session.
  • Portfolio or marketing use of any image happens only with your explicit written consent in the signed contract.
  • Consent can be withdrawn anytime by contacting info@tanyaphotography.no.
  • All textiles, props, and surfaces in the studio are cleaned and sanitized after every session; no one other than clients and staff enters the workspace.
  • Client galleries are stored securely and deleted after 6 months unless otherwise agreed.

 Image Rights & Client Consent

  • Contact form inquiries: 12 months after last contact.
  • Contracts & invoices: 5 years (Norwegian accounting requirement).
  • Client galleries & photos: 6 months after final delivery.
  • Newsletter data: until unsubscribed.
After these periods, data is permanently deleted unless longer retention is required by law or legitimate interest (e.g., legal claims).

Data Retention

The information is stored on Google servers, under their GDPR-compliant policies.
