Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for your data

Zoë Alessandro, a freelance photographer based near Amersfoort, the Netherlands, is responsible for the personal data processed through this website. Privacy questions and data-rights requests can be sent to [email protected].

What data is collected

The website collects personal data when you voluntarily use the contact form or its location helper. This may include:

• Your name and email address
• The subject and message of your inquiry
• Optional project details, such as project type, preferred date, intended use, editing style and budget or scope indication
• Optional address or location details and latitude/longitude values when you use address autocomplete or the map picker
• Technical request data processed by the hosting, security, form and map services described below

Name, email address and message are needed to respond to an inquiry. Other form fields and the location helper are optional. No separate analytics, advertising or marketing-tracking tool is configured by this site.

Purposes and legal bases

• Responding to inquiries and preparing or performing a project - processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement and, where applicable, to perform that agreement.
• Operating and securing the website - technical data may be processed for the legitimate interests of maintaining a functional website, preventing spam and abuse, and protecting the contact form.
• Administration and legal obligations - project and financial records may be retained where required for accounting, tax, dispute or other legal obligations.

Third-party services

The following services support contact, security, location, map and hosting functionality:

• Formspree processes contact-form submissions on behalf of this site. It receives the fields you submit and technical request data needed to operate and secure its service. See Formspree's privacy policy.
• Google reCAPTCHA v3 loads on the contact pages to help detect spam and abuse. Google may receive browser, device, IP-address, referrer and interaction data and may use cookies or similar technologies. See Google's privacy policy.
• PDOK Locatieserver provides optional Dutch address autocomplete, lookup and reverse geocoding. Search text, selected address identifiers, coordinates and technical request data may be sent to PDOK when you use the location helper.
• Leaflet, unpkg and OpenStreetMap tiles provide the optional map interface. The Leaflet library is loaded from unpkg on contact pages; OpenStreetMap tile requests are made when the map is displayed. Those providers may receive technical request data such as IP address, browser details, referrer information and requested URLs.
• Cloudflare Pages hosts and delivers the website. Cloudflare processes visitor requests at its edge network for delivery, reliability and security. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Some providers are established in, or operate infrastructure outside, the European Economic Area. Personal data may therefore be processed outside the EEA under the safeguards and transfer mechanisms described in their policies.

Automated spam assessment

Google reCAPTCHA v3 automatically produces a risk assessment to help distinguish normal submissions from spam. Zoë Alessandro does not use this website to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means.

Data retention

Inquiry data and related correspondence are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the inquiry and follow up on a possible project. If a project follows, relevant communications and administrative records may be kept for the duration of the project and for any longer period required for accounting, tax, contractual or legal purposes. Data that is no longer needed is deleted or anonymised. You may request earlier deletion where no legal exception applies.

Your rights

Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you may request:

• Access to the personal data held about you
• Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure of data that is no longer lawfully needed
• Restriction of processing in applicable circumstances
• Objection to processing based on legitimate interests
• Data portability where the legal requirements for portability apply
• Withdrawal of consent at any time where processing is based on consent

Requests can be sent to [email protected] and will normally be answered within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or another competent supervisory authority.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS and uses reasonable technical and organisational safeguards. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
