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, general location information, device type, and general website activity. I use Google Analytics to better understand website traffic and improve the website.

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 that you have explicitly opted into.
  • Improve the website and understand how visitors use it.

Third-Party Services & Trusted Partners
I do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising. However, I use trusted third-party service providers and workflow automation tools to help me safely and efficiently run my business:

  • Acuity Scheduling & Stripe: Used to handle session bookings, intake details, and payment processing.
  • Zenfolio: Used to host highlight galleries and securely deliver your final digital photography files.
  • Mailchimp: Used to manage email newsletter lists and send newsletters that you have explicitly opted into.
  • Zapier, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, & Trello: Used to automate parts of my business workflow, organize client contact details, track appointment dates, and manage backend production tasks related to your session.

These services may process information as needed to provide the services they offer. Each service has its own privacy policy and terms governing how it handles information.

Cookies
This website and some of the services integrated with it use cookies and similar technologies. These may be used for basic website functionality, scheduling, performance metrics, and remembering your preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, manage your choices through the cookie banner on this website. Disabling cookies may affect some website features.

Data Retention
I retain your personal contact information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill your photography booking, maintain business records, or comply with legal and tax obligations.

Because photography is often something families return to years later, 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 personal information at any time. Some information may need to be retained when required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access to or correction of your information and, where applicable, request its deletion.

You may also opt out of non-essential analytics tracking through the cookie choices available on this website.

If you have questions about how your information is handled or would like to exercise your privacy rights, please contact me at:
