Privacy policy

Dearly Told Memorial Photography treats privacy as part of the service, especially when an inquiry concerns a funeral or family loss.

Information you send

When you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, phone number, service date, location, selected service, and the details you choose to include. We use this information only to respond, prepare a proposal, provide booked services, maintain business records, and meet legal obligations.

Photographs and family materials

Client photographs, recordings, written stories, and other family materials are handled according to the signed service agreement. They are not published in a portfolio, social media, or advertising without separate written permission.

Website analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are useful, how visitors reach the site, broad device and geographic patterns, and actions such as opening a contact link or completing an inquiry. Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers. We do not send inquiry names, email addresses, phone numbers, messages, or other form contents to Analytics, and advertising personalization signals are disabled. Google may process routine technical information under its own privacy terms. You can limit analytics by blocking cookies or using Google’s browser opt-out tools.

Hosting and security records

Our hosting provider may process routine technical records such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps for security and reliability.

Sharing and retention

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with service providers needed to operate the business, when you direct us to, or when legally required. Inquiry messages and project records are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for business, contractual, tax, security, or legal purposes.

Your choices

You may ask to review, correct, or delete information you submitted, subject to records we must retain. Contact hello@dearlytoldphotography.com.
