1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Alijreyu Photo LLC, the developer and operator known publicly and in this document as Alijreyu, collects and uses personal information through this website and through the studio systems the company builds for working photographers. The reach of this policy extends only to information that comes into the possession of the company through those channels. It does not apply to third party services that operate independently of the company, nor to any website other than the one owned by the company.
Every visitor and every client should read this document in full before relying on the site or engaging the services described on the company pages. By using this website or the studio systems that the company operates, you recognise that the practices described here apply to you. If any part of this policy is unclear, or if you would like the company to explain a particular practice in plainer language, you are welcome to write to the contact address at the end of this page and ask for clarification.
The company reviews this policy from time to time, and the version in force is always the one shown on this page. Material updates are reflected here with a fresh effective date, and you can revisit this page at any moment to see the current wording.
2. Who We Are
Alijreyu Photo LLC is a company registered and operating within the United States, with its principal business at 2007 E Blossom St, Eagle Mountain - 84005-4647, United States (US). The company builds photo studio operations technology, client gallery systems and related design services for photographers and creative practices. The creative and technical lead behind the studio is a developer who works under the name Alijreyu.
When this policy refers to the company, to the studio, to the developer, or to terms such as we, us or our, the reference is to Alijreyu Photo LLC at the address given above. When this policy refers to you, the reference is to any person who visits the website, corresponds with the studio, or uses the four systems and tools that the company provides for its photographer clients.
The company takes the responsibility of holding personal information seriously. The practices described below reflect a studio that treats client data with the same care it brings to a master negative in the archive, guarding the material because it matters to the person who trusted it to the studio.
3. Information We Collect
The company collects different categories of personal information depending on how you interact with the studio. The main categories are described in this section so that you know in plain terms what arrives, from where, and why it is held.
Contact Details
When you write to the studio, ask for a walkthrough, submit the contact form on the website, or engage the studio for a build, the company collects the details you choose to provide. That set usually includes your full name, an email address, a telephone number when you offer one, and the subject and body of your message. These details are the minimum the studio needs to reply to you and to begin a conversation about studio systems.
Client and Session Records
For photographer clients who use services such as client gallery platforms, booking and scheduling, delivery automation, print fulfillment, lighting control and image backup, the studio processes information relevant to running those systems. That information can include studio briefs, scheduling preferences, client gallery recipient details, delivery logs, order notes and archive indexes. For end clients of those photographers who are named within a gallery, the information is used only to run the service for the photographer who engaged the studio.
Technical Data
Like most websites, the company may record technical data automatically when a browser loads a page. That data can include the internet protocol address of the visitor device, the type of browser in use, the type of device, referring address details, the pages visited, and the time of each visit. The company uses such data to keep the site working, to understand broad traffic patterns and to protect the site against misuse.
Correspondence
Whatever you send to the company by email, through the site form, or by telephone may be retained so that the studio can hold a faithful record of the conversation. That includes the original message, the studio reply, and any attachments you share in the normal course of arranging or completing a studio system engagement.
4. Sources of Information
Most of the personal information the company holds is provided by you directly. You supply your own contact details when you reach out. For the systems work the studio does for photographers, the information is supplied by the photographer client, who is responsible for making sure they hold the appropriate right to share any third party details with the studio for that purpose.
The company may also receive certain technical data automatically from the browser you use, as explained in the section on technical data above. In a small number of cases details could arrive from a third party, for example when a photographer client introduces the studio to a studio manager for the first time, or when a fulfillment partner sends back an order status that names an end recipient.
Where the studio receives information about someone from a third party, the company relies on the person who supplied it to have done so lawfully and to have collected the necessary permission. The studio encourages anyone whose details have been shared with the company in that way to read this policy and to contact the studio with any questions.
5. How We Use Information
The company uses the information it holds for purposes that are clear, bounded and honest. The principal uses are as follows.
- To answer your enquiries and to manage requests for walkthroughs or studio consultations.
- To deliver, maintain and improve the studio systems that the company builds for photographer clients.
- To operate client gallery platforms, booking flows, delivery automation and archive pipelines on behalf of those photographer clients.
- To send administrative messages that relate to an ongoing engagement, such as confirmations, invoices, order updates and review requests.
- To protect the security and integrity of the website and of client systems, including the prevention of unauthorised use and fraud.
- To understand how the website is used so the studio can make its pages clearer and more useful.
- To comply with legal and accounting obligations that apply to the studio as a business operating in the United States.
The company does not sell personal information to anybody, and it does not rent contact lists to advertisers. The studio email newsletter, where one exists, is optional and is sent only when you have given a clear and separate choice to receive it, and you can withdraw that choice at any time.
The company uses information to serve its photographer clients, and it does not harvest gallery names, deliverable lists or any personal material for reasons outside the engagement the photographer asked for.
6. Lawful Bases for Processing
Where data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing personal information, the company relies on one or more of the following grounds. For visitors who simply browse, the studio relies on its legitimate interest in running a safe and effective website and in understanding broad use. For those who send an enquiry, the studio relies on the steps you request before a contract and on its legitimate interest in replying to you. For clients under an active service agreement, the company relies on the performance of that contract, which needs certain details to be processed to deliver the agreed systems. For accounting and legal records, the company relies on its legal obligations.
Where consent is required by law, the company asks for it in a clear and separate way and does not bury it inside long documents. Where the studio relies on legitimate interests, it balances those interests fairly against your rights and freedoms, and it stops processing where your interests should win. If you believe a particular processing activity is not justified, you can ask the studio to stop it and the company will consider your request seriously.
8. Service Providers and Processors
To run the website and the studio systems well, the company engages a small set of careful service providers. Each one is chosen for reliability and for a standard of data care that matches the studio own expectations. The categories of provider the company uses are set out here so you can see who might touch your information in the ordinary course of the studio operations.
Hosting and infrastructure providers store the pages of the website and the data that flows through the galleries and archives. Email and messaging providers carry the correspondence that arrives and leaves the studio inbox. Booking and calendar providers run the scheduling flows the photographers rely on. Payment providers handle the transactions involved in a checkout, and never let the studio see, hold or store full card details. Analytics providers give the studio an insight into general traffic so the pages can be improved. Fulfillment and lab partners carry out the physical work of printing and shipping the products a client orders.
The company signs contracts with each provider that bind the provider to process data only for the studio, to guard it with reasonable security and to help the studio answer any data subject request. If a provider ever proved unable to honour those duties, the company would not rest until the matter was resolved or the provider replaced.
9. Data Retention
The company holds personal information only for as long as there is a reason to keep it, and it deletes or anonymises material that no longer serves a clear purpose. The practical periods depend on the type of information and on the obligations the company owes.
Correspondence and enquiry details are kept for as long as the conversation is live, and for a short period afterwards so the studio can recall the context of earlier contact. Accounting records are kept for the period required by tax law in the United States. Client system records are kept for the life of the relevant engagement and are removed or returned when a contract ends, in line with the specific agreement. Technical logs are held for a limited window suited to protecting the site and are not mined beyond that need.
Where a photographer client asks the company to delete a gallery or an archive entry, the studio will action that request in the way the system allows and within a reasonable time, unless the company is separately required by law to keep something. The company applies the same principle of keeping no more than necessary to every corner of its storage.
10. Security of Your Data
The studio guards the information it holds with measures fitted to the value of what is kept. Access to studio accounts and to client systems is protected by strong passwords, and where a system supports it the studio enables extra verification for sign in. Data in transit is protected with encryption, and stored copies of sensitive records are handled so that casual access is not possible.
The company applies the discipline of the darkroom to data practice: redundancy matters. Backup procedures protect key records, access to those backups is limited to the people who genuinely need it, and the studio reviews who can see what on a regular schedule. No method of transmission or of storage is absolutely impossible to break, so the studio cannot promise total security, but the company commits itself to reasonable and honest safeguards and tells clients plainly when something has gone wrong as soon as it is appropriate to do so.
Clients play their own part. The photographers who use the studio galleries should guard their own passwords, not share an account widely, and let the studio know quickly if they suspect misuse. A gallery is only as private as the thicket of protections around it.
11. Privacy for Children
The company draws a careful line around children and the information they can legally share. The website and the studio services are not aimed at children, and the company does not knowingly collect personal information from children without the involvement of a parent or guardian. Where a gallery session involves a child, the information is managed through the photographer client, who holds the responsibility for appropriate consent under the rules that apply to them.
If the studio learns that it has collected information from a child in a way that the law does not permit, the company will delete that information promptly and will ask for the responsible adult to work with it so the situation does not repeat. Any guardian who believes their child has shared information with the studio should contact the studio at the address at the end of this page without delay, and the company will take immediate steps to investigate and to put the matter right.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, the law may give you rights over the personal information the company holds about you. The company honours those rights whether or not they are written into a local statute, and it treats every request as a request from a person the studio respects rather than as a box to be ticked. Where the law gives you the following rights, the studio will work to meet them.
- The right to ask what personal information the company holds about you.
- The right to ask for a correction where something is inaccurate or incomplete.
- The right to ask for deletion where there is no longer a lawful reason to keep the information.
- The right to ask for a copy of the information in a portable and readable form where it applies.
- The right to ask the studio to limit or object to certain processing.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time where the studio relies on it.
To exercise any of these rights, write to the contact address below and describe the request and the information it concerns. The company will confirm that it has understood you, will verify your identity where that is reasonable to protect your data from misuse, and will respond without unreasonable delay. The studio will not charge a fee simply for raising a request, and it will not penalise anyone for choosing to exercise a right.
If you are not satisfied with the studio answer to a request, you also have the right to raise the matter with a data protection authority in the country where you live, although the company hopes you will speak to the studio first so that any concern can be resolved honestly and directly.
14. International Transfers
The company operates from the United States, and its principal business records sit at 2007 E Blossom St, Eagle Mountain - 84005-4647, United States (US). The data the studio holds is largely stored on infrastructure chosen for speed and reliability, which may place copies in more than one country so that redundancy works as it should. That means personal information you share with the studio may travel across borders when it is moved between storage and processing locations.
Where the law requires a safeguard for such a transfer, the company puts one in place. That usually takes the form of standard contractual clauses or of an adequacy decision recognised by your local rules. The studio keeps those safeguards measured and documented, and if you would like to know more about the specific mechanism used for data that concerns you, you can write to the studio and ask. The company will explain in plain terms rather than reaching for jargon.
15. Contact and Choices
You have simple choices about how the studio reaches you. Where the studio sends a newsletter, each message carries a clear way to leave the list. Where the studio messages you about an active engagement, those messages are part of the service and cannot usually be ignored without losing important notices, but you can always discuss the channels you prefer.
If you would rather not be contacted for anything beyond the reply to a specific question, say so in your message and the studio will respect that wish. The company keeps a note of your marketing preference so it does not pester you again, and you may change that preference at any time by writing in. The studio values a quiet inbox the way a darkroom values a quiet room, and it extends the same courtesy outward that it would want for itself.
When you ask to stop receiving marketing, note that the company may still send the messages that are necessary to the running of an ongoing service, because those are different in kind from the optional mailings you can decline.
16. Changes to This Policy
The studio reviews this Privacy Policy when the law changes, when the studio services change, or when honest practice suggests the wording should be refreshed. The current version is always the one published on this page, and the company sets the effective date clearly so there is never confusion about which text applies.
For a material change, such as a new category of personal data or a new way of sharing information, the company will draw attention to the update rather than slipping it past quietly. Because the studio web address changes rarely and the contact below is stable, the surest way to stay informed is simply to revisit this page whenever you rely on the site. Your continued use of the website after an update means you accept the version then current, so reading this page before an important decision is always wise.
17. Contact Us
Questions about this Privacy Policy and requests about the personal information the company holds can be sent to the studio at any time. The company is glad to explain its practices in plain language, because a person who understands exactly what happens to their information is a person who can trust the studio without reservation.
