Privacy Policy:
Your trust and confidence are our highest priority. Lux Photo Studios is dedicated to maintaining and protecting your privacy. This includes the privacy of both your information and your pictures. By using our service and by visiting this website, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties without your written consent except as provided in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use or access our website. This Policy explains what information we collect and how we use the information so we can continue to provide outstanding service to you. For the purposes of this Policy, an e-mail or website communication constitutes written consent.
What information we collect from you
When you register with Lux Photo Studios, we ask for the basics - including your name, email address and wedding date. When you make a reservation and deposit, we will also need your billing information and mailing address.
For all Lux Photo Studios website visitors we collect information such as IP addresses, browser type, domain names, access times, duration of visit, referring URL, platform, new/repeat information, time-stamp and exit page information. We use this data for statistical purposes so that we may analyze trends and performances over time. Lux Photo Studios uses third-party service providers to help us gather and analyze information about our customers. We contractually restrict these service providers from using your information in any manner, other than in helping us to provide you with the products and services available on our Site. Lux Photo Studios is the sole owner of the information collected on this website.
Protecting the Privacy of Your Pictures
Lux Photo Studios is designed so that you can control who may view the pictures stored in your account. We are committed to keeping your pictures private and secure. We will never make your pictures publicly accessible, except as otherwise noted in your service contract or by your explicit action. Please note that if you choose to post a link to your Lux Photo Studios account on your own or other's websites, or you share your pictures with your friends or family members and they post your invitation on a website or forward to other individuals, these pictures may be accessible to others who view the email invitation or visit these websites.
In order to provide quality products, Lux Photo Studios employees and third-party service providers fulfilling your order or providing Client Support to you may see your pictures.
How your information is used
The data we gather is used to enhance your web site experience, check for availability of services for your wedding date, manage our sweepstakes and promotions, manage our email marketing campaigns, and manage your registration, reservation and booking activities. All data is saved in a secure environment. The information we collect helps us better serve you. We use industry standard practices to protect the privacy of user information, including procedural and technical safeguards to protect a user's personal information against loss, theft or unauthorized access. We require our third party service providers to follow privacy practices no less protective of users than our practices described in this Policy. However, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your personal information will never be disclosed. Unfortunately, perfect security does not exist on the Internet.
How your information is protected
Lux Photo Studios maintains data handling and storage practices and procedures that are designed to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of customer information.
