At Coastal Mermaids, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled with care and responsibility. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and share your information in connection with our mermaid photography services.

When you engage with us—whether by booking a session, making an enquiry, or interacting through our website or social media—we may collect certain personal information. This can include your name, email address, phone number, social media handles (if voluntarily shared), session details, and your consent preferences regarding image use. This information is collected through direct communication, booking forms, and online platforms we use to operate our business.
 

We use this information primarily to manage and coordinate photo shoot bookings, communicate with you about your session, deliver your final images, and respond to any questions or requests you may have. With your explicit consent, we may also use select images from your session for promotional purposes across our social media channels and website. We respect your privacy and will never share or post your photos publicly without receiving your clear and documented approval.
 

All of our photography sessions are conducted in public locations, and while this means there may be incidental exposure to passersby, we remain committed to protecting your privacy in how the images are used after the shoot. You always have full control over whether your photos are shared publicly by our business.
 

We store your information securely using encrypted digital platforms, and take all reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, misuse, or loss. In the course of operating our business, we may also use trusted third-party services such as online scheduling systems, cloud-based storage, and secure payment processors. These providers only access your data as needed to perform their services and are required to maintain strict data protection standards.
 

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request updates or corrections, to withdraw consent for image use, or to ask that we delete your data where applicable. We are happy to support these requests at any time.

This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in legal requirements or our business operations. The most current version will always be available on our website.
