Privacy Policy
1. Introduction Welcome to our Privacy Policy.
At Take Two Wedding Photography, we genuinely care about your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, book our photography services, or purchase products from us.
Take Two Wedding Photography is operated by Chu Chu as a sole trader based in Manchester, United Kingdom. This policy covers all interactions you have with us, from your initial enquiry through to the delivery of your final images and any online purchases.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect the information we need to give you a great experience and deliver our photography services. This includes:
* Contact details: Your names, email addresses, phone numbers, and home address.
* Enquiry information: Details you share about your wedding plans, vision, and what matters to you.
* Event details: Wedding date, venue locations, and your schedule for the day.
* Payment information: Billing addresses and transaction details (processed securely via our payment providers).
* Communications: Records of our emails, calls, and messages.
* Images and Media: Photographs taken during your wedding or shoot, which may include your image and the images of your guests.
* Technical Data: Information about how you use our website, including your IP address and browser type, collected via analytics.
3. How We Collect Your Information
We collect information in the following ways:
* Directly from you: When you fill out an enquiry form on our website, send us an email, or chat with us over the phone or in person.
* Booking and Admin Tools: Through our online contracts, invoicing software, and payment processors.
* Automated Technologies: As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect technical data using cookies and Google Analytics.
4. Legal Basis for Processing Under UK data protection law, we must have a "legal basis" for using your data.
We typically rely on: * Contractual Necessity: We need your data to fulfill our contract with you (e.g., we need your wedding venue address to show up and take photos). * Legitimate Interests: Using your data for reasonable business purposes that don't override your rights (e.g., sending you a guide on how to prepare for your shoot). * Consent: Where you have given us clear permission (e.g., signing up for our newsletter). * Legal Obligation: When we are required by law to keep records (e.g., keeping financial records for HMRC).
5. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to make sure everything runs smoothly. This includes: Providing and managing our photography services. Communicating with you about your booking and wedding plans. Processing payments and fulfilling online orders for prints or digital products. Maintaining financial records and complying with distance selling regulations. Improving our website and services based on how people use them. Sending marketing updates or helpful tips, but only if you have opted in. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. Sharing Your Data
We use a few trusted third-party tools to help us run our business and deliver your images: * Payment Processors: Stripe (to handle payments securely). * Communication & Marketing: Mailchimp (for newsletters) and Google Workspace (for emails and documents). * Storage & Delivery: Cloud storage services and gallery platforms to host your images. Because we work with international clients and use global tools, your data may occasionally be transferred outside the UK. When this happens, we ensure the data is protected by UK "adequacy decisions" or by using standard contractual clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) to keep your information safe.
7. Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses "cookies," which are small files placed on your device to help the site work better and to tell us which pages are the most popular. We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic. You can choose to decline cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of our website might not work quite as well if you do. For more details, please see our Cookie Policy.
8. Data Retention
We don't keep your data forever. * Enquiries: If you enquire but don't end up booking, we typically hold your details for 2 years. * Client Records: If you book with us, we keep your personal data and financial records for 6 years after the end of the tax year in which the contract was completed, in line with UK tax requirements. * Images: We retain wedding images for the period specified in our contract with you. After these periods, data is either securely deleted or anonymised.
9. Your Rights
You have specific rights regarding your personal data:
* Access: You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
* Rectification: You can ask us to fix any mistakes in your information.
* Erasure: You can ask us to delete your data (the "right to be forgotten").
* Restriction: You can ask us to stop using your data for a while.
* Portability: You can ask for your data in a format that can be moved to another service.
* Objection: You can object to us using your data for things like direct marketing.
* Automated Decision Making: You have rights regarding decisions made without human involvement (we don't currently do this).
* Withdraw Consent: If you gave us permission to use your data, you can take it back at any time. To exercise any of these rights, just email us at Hello.T2@taketwoweddingphotography.com.
10. Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously. We use technical measures like encryption and secure passwords to protect your information. While no electronic transmission is 100% secure, we take all reasonable and industry-standard steps to keep your personal details and your wedding photos safe.
11. How to Make a Data Protection Complaint

When you contact us, please include your name, contact details, a description of your concern, and what you would like us to do.
