CLIENT GALLERIES AND PRIVACY
We use Pixieset and potentially other professional gallery services to host and deliver photographs to clients.
Depending on the gallery, we may enable privacy features such as passwords, download PINs, email registration, hidden galleries, or other access controls.
If you receive access to a private gallery, you are responsible for protecting passwords, PINs, gallery links, and other access information provided to you.
If you choose to share a gallery link, password, downloaded photograph, or other gallery information with another person, we cannot control how that person subsequently uses or distributes that information.
No online gallery or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Each third-party provider maintains its own privacy practices, security measures, and privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party platforms when appropriate.
WE DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Dream Choice does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for monetary compensation.
We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our business, fulfill our obligations to you, comply with the law, protect our rights, or provide services you have requested.
COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
Our website, client galleries, and third-party service providers may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files that may be stored on your device to help websites operate properly, remember preferences, understand website activity, improve performance, provide security, or analyze how visitors interact with a website.
Depending on the services enabled on our website, third-party analytics providers may also collect information regarding website traffic and usage.
You may be able to control or disable certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some portions of our website or client galleries.

We may send emails or other communications relating to an inquiry, booking, contract, payment, gallery, order, session, event, or other service you have requested.
We may also send occasional promotional or marketing communications when permitted by applicable law.

Even if you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may still send transactional or service-related communications necessary to fulfill an existing booking, order, contract, or business relationship.
SOCIAL MEDIA
We maintain accounts on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and other services.
If you interact with us through a social media platform, that platform may collect and process information according to its own privacy policy.
Information you voluntarily make public through social media may be visible to us and others.
Our Privacy Policy does not control the privacy practices of third-party social media platforms.
EXTERNAL LINKS
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by other companies.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of websites we do not control.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.
DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for legitimate business, contractual, accounting, tax, insurance, archival, dispute-resolution, or legal purposes.
Photography files and client records may be retained for different periods depending on the nature of the project, our contractual obligations, available storage, archival practices, and legitimate business needs.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy guarantees permanent storage or archival of photographs.
Clients are responsible for downloading and securely storing delivered photographs according to the terms of their photography or event agreement.
DATA SECURITY
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information in our possession.
We also use established third-party platforms and service providers to help operate our business securely.
However, no method of electronic transmission, internet communication, cloud storage, or digital storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.
CHILDREN AND MINORS
Our photography services may include children and minors, including family photography, weddings, events, portraits, and other sessions.
Bookings and purchases are intended to be made by adults.
When services involve a minor, we generally rely on information and authorization provided by a parent, legal guardian, client, or other adult with authority to arrange or authorize the photography.
If you believe personal information relating to a child has been provided to us improperly, please contact us.

Request correction of inaccurate information
Request a copy of certain personal information
Request deletion of certain personal information
