Where applicable, recipients may withdraw consent or unsubscribe from marketing communications.

5. Sharing of Personal Information

ParPar Portraits does not sell personal information.

Payment records and status information displayed within the private client portal or owner dashboard are protected by account access controls.

7. Private Client Portal

The ParPar Portraits client portal is intended for individual client access.

Clients are responsible for keeping their login credentials confidential.

Private session information, agreements, payment information and galleries should not be publicly accessible through normal website navigation or search engines.

8. Photographs and Client Galleries

Client galleries are private and are intended for delivery of finished photography to the applicable client.

Gallery image files may be available for a limited period as described in the client portal or applicable session agreement.

Gallery expiration does not necessarily delete all related business records.

Session history, transaction records, agreement records and other information may be retained where reasonably necessary for business, legal, accounting or contractual purposes.

9. Retention

ParPar Portraits retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing photography services, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes and meeting legal or accounting obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be securely deleted, anonymized or otherwise disposed of as appropriate.

10. Security

ParPar Portraits uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, loss or disclosure.

No internet based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Clients should use strong passwords and should not share portal login credentials.

11. Access and Correction

You may contact ParPar Portraits to ask about personal information held about you or to request correction of inaccurate information, subject to applicable legal exceptions.

12. Withdrawing Consent

Where personal information is processed based on consent, you may ask to withdraw that consent, subject to reasonable notice and any legal or contractual limitations.

Withdrawing certain consent may affect the ability to provide services that require the information.

13. Children

ParPar Portraits photographs babies and children as part of its photography services.

Booking, account, agreement and payment interactions are intended to be completed by a parent, guardian or other authorized adult.

14. Website Analytics

If website analytics are enabled, ParPar Portraits may use analytics tools to understand general website traffic, page usage and booking related website interactions.
