Privacy
Your information.
What this site collects, why, and who helps me handle it. The short version: I collect only what I need to answer you and run your session, and I never sell it.
Effective October 8, 2026
What I collect
- When you send a message: your name, email, what it's about, a date if you add one, and your message.
- When you ask for a quote on Yelp: Yelp's email to me, which shows your first name and last initial, what you're looking for, and your answers to Yelp's questions. Yelp doesn't share your email, so I only have it if you give it to me.
- When you book a session: your contact details and what the session needs, like dates and location ideas. For a student under 18, a parent or guardian books, and I also collect the student's name.
- When you pay: Stripe handles the payment. I see that you paid, but never your card number.
- When you visit: Cloudflare, which hosts the site, keeps basic technical records like IP addresses to keep the site running and safe. I count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn't use cookies or follow you to other sites.
How I use it
To answer your message, plan and deliver your session, and send the emails that go with a booking: your confirmation, reminders, and your gallery. After your session, I may ask for a review. If you write to me or ask to book, I may also send you occasional emails about sessions. Review requests and occasional emails have an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops both, but doesn't stop the emails needed for your booking. I also keep the records the law requires. I don't sell your information or use it for ads.
Who helps me run things
A few companies handle some of your information for me: web hosting and spam protection, email, scheduling, payments, agreement signing, and your online gallery. Each has its own privacy policy.
How long I keep it
- I keep messages and booking requests so I can follow up. You can ask me to delete them. Unsubscribing doesn't cancel an open booking request. If you unsubscribe and never booked, I delete your messages and requests once all your requests have been closed without a booking, unless they include a payment or signed agreement. I keep your email address and a record of your unsubscribe so I don't send you marketing emails again.
- If you asked for a quote on Yelp and never gave me your email, I delete your request 12 months after you sent it.
- Booking records, signed agreements, and payment records stay as long as I need them for the business, taxes, and the law.
- Your session agreement covers how long your gallery stays online.
- The site keeps the latest 8 weekly backups. Deleted information may stay in those backups until newer backups replace them, usually about 8 weeks. It can take longer if backups are missed.
Students and children
Most of my senior clients are under 18, so a parent or guardian books the session and signs the agreement. I only share photos from a session in my portfolio or on social media if the agreement says I can, and for a student under 18, a parent or guardian decides.
This site isn't meant for children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their information. If I learn I have, I delete it.
Your choices
Email me at riley@roe-media.com to see what I have about you, fix it, or delete it. I'll do it, unless the law requires me to keep a record, like a signed agreement or a payment. To stop occasional emails, use the unsubscribe link in any of them.
The site doesn't track you across other sites, so it works the same whether or not your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal.
