Privacy Policy

Beach Wedding Shots provides beach wedding photography services in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan, Alabama. Our website address is https://beachweddingshots.com.

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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 (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website (for example, when sending files through a client gallery or form), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

When you submit a contact form or wedding photography inquiry form on Beach Wedding Shots, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, wedding date, ceremony time, location, and any other details you choose to share. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry, check availability, provide pricing and package information, and manage your booking if you decide to work with us.

We do not sell or rent your contact information. Your inquiry details may be stored in our email system, website database, or customer management tools so we can follow up about your wedding photography.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website 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.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, maps, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third‑party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

We may use basic analytics tools to understand how visitors use Beach Wedding Shots, such as which pages are visited and how visitors found the site. These tools typically collect information such as your browser type, device type, approximate location, and pages visited. We use this information to improve the website and our services. We do not use analytics to personally identify individual visitors.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. In some cases we may use third‑party services (such as email providers, spam‑filtering tools, or form plugins) to help manage contact forms, emails, and spam protection. These services only receive the information necessary to perform their specific function.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow‑up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

For wedding inquiries and booking forms, we may retain your messages and booking information as long as needed to manage your wedding photography, maintain business records, and comply with legal or accounting obligations.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Contact form submissions may be passed through email and security tools designed to filter spam and keep the site secure.
