Privacy Policy

PLEASE REVIEW THIS POLICY CAREFULLY

The following explains how Cait Photo ("Cait Photo," "I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and protects the information you provide through www.caitphoto.com and its sub-domains, affiliated sites, and Cait Photo accounts on Threads®, Facebook®, LinkedIn®, Instagram®, TikTok®, Clubhouse®, and YouTube® (collectively, the "Sites"). If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact me using the details provided below. By using the Sites, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Please also review the full Terms and Conditions of Use, which govern your use of the Sites.

Collection of Your Personal Information

Unless stated otherwise, I do not collect personally identifiable information from users of my Sites. However, some non-personal data—such as your IP address, browser type, access time, and referring website—may be automatically collected. This data is typically used for troubleshooting, improving the website experience, and ensuring compliance with my Terms of Use.

If you choose to provide personal information, such as by signing up for email updates, I collect only what is necessary to offer the requested services. You can always opt not to provide personal data, but this may limit access to certain content or features.

International Privacy Laws and Your Rights Under the GDPR

If you are visiting the Sites from outside the United States, please note that your information is being sent to servers in the United States. Depending on how your information is stored, it may be transferred within or outside the United States. While these locations may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as your country of residence, all data collection, storage, and usage are governed by this Privacy Policy.

If you are a resident of the European Union (EU), you have the following rights under the GDPR:

  • The right to object to the processing of your data.

  • The right to data portability.

  • The right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data.

  • The right to restrict the processing of your personal data.

To exercise these rights, please contact hello@caitphoto.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Note that withdrawing consent does not apply to data collected lawfully prior to your withdrawal.

Cookies: What They Are and Why They Are Used

A cookie is a small data file sent from a website to your browser. Cookies are used to identify users and provide seamless access to portions of the website, such as eliminating the need to log in repeatedly. To the extent cookies are used, they help personalize your experience and allow me to understand user preferences and improve my Sites. Cookies from other websites are not accessible to me.

Policy Regarding Minors

My Sites are intended for users aged 18 and older. If you are under 18, you may only use the Sites with the supervision of a parent or guardian. I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If I discover that I have received information from someone under 18 in violation of this policy, I will promptly delete it.

Data Retention

I retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Typically, data is retained for a maximum of ten years to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Data no longer required is securely deleted.

Use of Your Personal Information

If you provide personal information, I do not share it with companies outside my organization except as outlined in this Privacy Policy. You may occasionally receive communications from me about services or products I believe may interest you. You can opt out of these communications using the unsubscribe link provided in any email.

Aggregate, non-personally identifiable information (e.g., usage patterns or browser type) may be shared with third-party businesses for lawful purposes, such as improving services or advertising. Personal information may be disclosed as required by law, in connection with investigations, or to enforce my Terms of Use.

Please note that any personal information you disclose publicly on the Sites (e.g., comments) may be collected and used by others. I am not responsible for the voluntary disclosure of such information.

Limitations

By using the Sites, you agree that I am not responsible for:

  1. Any disclosure of your personal information made by you to a third party through the Sites.

  2. Any disclosure of your personal information obtained illegally from me.

  3. Any accidental disclosure of your personal information.

Policy Changes

I may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting. I encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed. The revision date at the top of the Policy indicates the latest update.
