Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Christy Odom Photography respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you use this website and how that information is used.

Information You Provide

You may provide personal information when you contact me, request information about photography services, schedule a session, subscribe to my newsletter, or otherwise submit a form on this website. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and any details you choose to provide about your session or inquiry.

Information Collected Automatically

This website collects limited information about how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type, and general website activity. I use Google Analytics to better understand website traffic and improve your browsing experience.

How Your Information Is Used

Information you provide may be used to:
    • Respond to inquiries and requests.
    • Communicate with you about photography services or scheduled sessions.
    • Provide information, galleries, or services you have requested.
    • Send newsletters or other communications you have explicitly opted into.
    • Improve the website layout and understand how visitors explore it.

Third-Party Services & Trusted Partners

I do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral or target advertising. However, I partner with trusted third-party service providers and workflow automation tools to safely perform essential business functions:
    • Acuity Scheduling & Stripe: Used to securely handle session bookings, intake details, and encrypted credit card payment processing.
    • Zenfolio: Used to host highlight galleries and securely deliver your final digital photography files.
    • Mailchimp: Used to securely manage email newsletter lists and distributions that you have explicitly opted into.
    • Zapier, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, & Trello: Used behind the scenes to securely automate my business workflow, organize client contact details, track appointment dates, and manage backend production tasks for your session.
These platforms only process your information as necessary to provide their services and are governed by their own individual privacy policies.
Cookies
This website and the integrated services listed above use cookies and similar technologies. These are used for basic website functionality, scheduling, performance metrics, and remembering your preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings or manage your choices directly on our site via our cookie banner. Disabling cookies may affect some interactive website features.

Data Retention

I retain your personal contact information for as long as necessary to fulfill your photography booking or comply with legal tax obligations. Due to the nature of photography services, I safely store your session records and image files long-term so you can request access to your highlight galleries or replacement digital files down the road. You may request the deletion of your records at any time.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you have specific rights regarding your data. You have the right to request access to, correction of, or complete deletion of the personal information you have provided. You may also opt out of non-essential analytics tracking at any time via our cookie banner.
If you have questions about how your information is handled, or would like to exercise your rights, please contact me at:
