GDPR
What personal data this website and the studio collect, what for, how long we keep it and how you can ask to see or delete it.
The website 9mesesfotografia.com and the studio 9 Meses Fotografia belong to photographer Tânia Pires, whose studio is at Avenida 25 de Abril, Edif. Space Beautiful, Loja G, 8200-559 Ferreiras, Albufeira, Portugal. She is the controller of the personal data described in this policy.
We ask for no more data than we need to reply and to photograph your session, and we never sell it or pass it on for advertising.
| Where | What data | What for | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contact form | Name, email, phone (optional), chosen session and package, preferred date, due date or birth date, number of family members and your message. | Replying, checking availability and booking the session. | Steps taken at your request before a contract, and consent (form checkbox) |
| WhatsApp, phone and email | Your number or address and whatever you write or tell us. | Replying and arranging the session. | Steps taken at your request before a contract |
| Session and delivery | Contact details, answers to the session questionnaire (newborn), session photographs and invoicing details. | Preparing and photographing the session, delivering the gallery and products, and invoicing. | Performance of the contract and legal obligation (invoicing) |
| Server logs | IP address, page requested, date and browser, recorded automatically by the host. | Running the website securely. | Legitimate interest (security) |
The website has no user accounts, comments, advertising, visitor statistics or third-party tracking, and it does not store form enquiries: they are sent by email to the studio.
Some of these services (Google, Zoom) may process data outside the European Union. Where they do, the safeguards set out in the GDPR apply, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Photographs from your session, including those of babies and children, are never published on the website, on social media or in promotional material without your written permission. That permission is separate and optional: saying no changes nothing about your session, and you can withdraw it later and ask us to remove images already published.
The images are protected by copyright and are for the family's personal use; commercial or advertising use needs the photographer's approval.
The website always uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and has no database: it stores no enquiries, accounts or passwords. Technical access to the server uses an encryption key, and only the studio team can access the mailboxes that receive enquiries.
You can ask us at any time to see your data, correct it, delete it, restrict its use, object to it being processed or receive a copy. Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it whenever you like, without affecting what was done before. We reply within one month.
If you think your data has not been handled properly, you can complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, CNPD (www.cnpd.pt).
For any request about your data, including removing a published photograph: info@9mesesfotografia.com or +351 967 716 894.
As required by Portuguese law, the electronic Complaints Book is available at www.livroreclamacoes.pt.
