Privacy Policy

Dylan Knight Photography (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when engaging with our website, advertising, and photography services.

1. What We Collect

• Identity and contact details such as name, email, phone number, and address (where applicable).
• Booking and payment information processed securely via third-party providers (we never store full card details).
• Information supplied in forms, emails, surveys, testimonials, or social interactions.
• Technical data — IP address, browser, device type, pages visited, and referrers — gathered via cookies or analytics tools.

2. How We Collect Information

• Directly from you when you make a booking, opt in, purchase, or contact us.
• Automatically via analytics (Google Analytics 4) and Meta Pixel tracking to assess campaign performance.
• From publicly available sources or tagged content you share on social media.

3. Why We Use It

• To deliver and improve workshops, digital products, and customer experience.
• To send photography tips, updates, and relevant offers only if you’ve opted in.
• To meet legal, insurance, and permit obligations.
• To analyse traffic and marketing performance in aggregate form.

You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time via the link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some features may not work as intended. Anonymous usage data may be processed by trusted analytics providers under their own privacy policies.

5. Disclosure of Information

• We never sell or rent personal information.
• Data is shared only with essential service providers (Squarespace, Stripe, Mailchimp, Google, Meta) to operate securely.
• Some providers store data offshore (e.g. US or EU); we ensure they maintain equivalent privacy safeguards.
• Information may be disclosed if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

6. Storage, Security & Retention

Data is stored on encrypted, access-controlled servers. We use up-to-date antivirus, encryption, and password protocols. Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for its purpose or as required by law.

In the event of a serious data breach, we will follow the Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) by notifying affected individuals and the OAIC.

7. AI & Data Use

We do not sell or feed identifiable client data into any AI or generative training models. Marketing automation tools used in our business are configured to respect platform privacy and opt-out settings.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website and ads may link to other platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. See: Facebook Data Policy, Instagram Privacy Policy, and Google Privacy Policy.

9. Access, Correction & Deletion

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing info@dylanknight.com.au. We’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe (usually 30 days).
