With Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as our booking software and album and print order processing. These service providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are only allowed to use your personal data as necessary to perform these specific services.

For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we are legally required to do so, for instance in response to a court order or a legitimate request from a law enforcement agency.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction.

6. Your Rights

Right of Access: You can request access to your personal data that we hold, commonly known as a “data subject access request”. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to verify the lawfulness of the processing.
Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected or completed.

Right to Erasure: Often referred to as the “right to be forgotten”, this allows you to request the deletion or removal of your personal data where there’s no compelling reason for its continued processing.

Right to Restrict Processing: Under certain conditions, you have the right to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your personal data.

Right to Data Portability: This right allows you to request the transfer of your personal data to another party, under certain conditions.

Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party), especially if your particular situation makes you want to object to processing on this ground.

Right to Withdraw Consent: If we are processing your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
