Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 1, 2026
Jill Barton Photography ("we," "us," or "our") values your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
- Contact details you provide: your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of any message you submit through our contact or booking forms.
- Service information: details you share about a property or session so we can prepare and deliver our work.
- Technical data: basic information your browser sends automatically (such as IP address and device/browser type) and any cookies described in our Cookie Policy.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to inquiries and communicate with you.
- To schedule, prepare for, and deliver photography services.
- To send invoices and process payments.
- To maintain, secure, and improve our website and services.
- To comply with legal obligations.
How We Share Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share it only with:
- Service providers who help us operate (for example, website hosting, email delivery, and payment tools), and only as needed to perform those services.
- Legal and safety recipients when required by law or to protect our rights.
SMS / Text Messaging
Jill Barton Photography sends SMS text messages in two separate categories, which are treated differently:
- Transactional one-time passcodes (OTP): codes used for secure login and multi-factor authentication (MFA). These are tied to your own login and phone-verification attempts and are sent only when you request them. They are not marketing messages, and receiving them does not require any separate marketing consent.
- Informational updates (optional): occasional account and booking notices. These are optional. You will only receive them if you expressly opt in, and consenting to them is not required to create an account, verify your phone number, or use the service.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP at any time to opt out of informational messages; transactional OTP messages are tied to your own login attempts and are sent only when you are signing in or verifying your number. Reply HELP for assistance. We do not sell or share your mobile number or SMS consent with third parties for their own marketing. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Data Storage & Retention
Your data is stored securely with our hosting and service providers. We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our services, meet legal or accounting requirements, and resolve disputes. When it is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
Your Choices & Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To make a request, please contact us. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by applicable law.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Adults Only
Our website and services are intended solely for adults aged 18 and older. We do not offer services to, or knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Third-Party Links
Our site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites; please review their policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
If you have any questions about how your information is used, please contact us.
