Last updated: 11 September 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Tony Clerkson Photography (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses and shares your personal data when you visit or interact with www.tonyclerkson.com (the “Site”) or otherwise communicate with us (together, the “Services”). The terms “you” and “your” refer to any individual using or interacting with our Services, whether as a visitor, subscriber, supporter, or customer.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or operational needs. Any updates will be posted on this page with the “Last updated” date amended accordingly.

Data We Collect

Data You Provide

You may give us personal data when you:

  • Subscribe to our mailing list

  • Use a contact form or send us an email

  • Support us through “Buy Me a Coffee”

  • Make a purchase

This may include your name, email address, billing and shipping address, payment details, and any information you choose to provide in messages or forms.

Purchases and Support

When you buy something or support us through Buy Me a Coffee, we collect information needed to fulfil the transaction. This may include your billing details, shipping address, and payment method.

We share this information with:

  • Squarespace, our website hosting provider, to operate the Site

  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, Sift, Buy Me a Coffee) to securely process transactions

Payment processors have their own privacy policies, which you should review.

Form Submissions

When you submit a form, we collect the requested information to track and respond to your submission. This information may also be processed by Squarespace and any services we use for email or data storage.

Cookies

This site uses only necessary cookies that are required for it to function properly (for example, to remember items in your cart or process secure payments).

We have disabled Squarespace Analytics and Activity Log, so we do not use cookies for tracking or collect visitor IP addresses for analytics purposes.

Because only necessary cookies are used, a cookie banner is not required.

Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts to render fonts correctly. These services may receive information about your browser, device, the page you are viewing, and your IP address.

Social Sharing

This website may include share buttons that allow you to share content on social media platforms (such as Facebook, X/Twitter, or LinkedIn). If you click one of these buttons, the relevant service may collect personal data such as your IP address, browser information and details of the page you are sharing. Please refer to the privacy policy of the platform you are using for more details.

Emails

Order and Account Emails

We may email you about your account or order. These messages are necessary for service and cannot be unsubscribed from.

Marketing Emails

If you have consented, we may send marketing emails. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email.

Sharing Your Data

We only share your personal data with:

  • Squarespace, our website hosting provider

  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, Sift, Buy Me a Coffee)

  • Regulators or law enforcement if required by law

We do not sell your personal data.

Children’s Data

Our Services are not directed at children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Data Retention and Security

We keep personal data only as long as necessary to provide Services or comply with legal obligations. We rely on trusted providers (Squarespace, Buy Me a Coffee) who use appropriate security measures.

No system is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive information by unencrypted email.

Your Rights

If you are in the UK or EEA, you have rights under data protection law, including to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your data

  • Restrict or object to processing

  • Withdraw consent at any time

  • Request data portability

  • Complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK: the ICO)

To exercise your rights, please contact us at info@tonyclerkson.com

International Transfers

Some of our providers may process data outside your country. Where this happens, safeguards are in place to protect your data.
