What Personal Data My Website Collects And Why

Contact Forms

One of the ways you can inquire about my photography services is trough the contact form. When you do that all the information provided is registered in a log in the database. I keep contact form submissions for an unlimited period for customer service purposes, but I do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purpose.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site I collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on my site, your name, email address and website are saved in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Analytics

I use google analytics for SEO purposes.
Statistics about visits and keywords used are stored in Google Search Console and Analytics. This data is held for an unlimited amount of time.

Third Party

Akismet, WPML.

This awesome website is multilingual, both in english and romanian. WPML uses cookies to identify the visitor’s current language, the last visited language and the language of users who have logged in. These cookies will last for one year.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet anti-spam service.

How Long I Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment or send a message trough the contact form the informations submitted are retained indefinitely.
