Ruchie Landau Photography
Privacy Policy
How we handle the information you share with us, including mobile phone numbers used for text messaging.
SMS Messaging Privacy
Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent information are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
SMS consent is optional and separate from this Privacy Policy and our Terms & Conditions. Using our website, booking or purchasing photography services, accepting our Privacy Policy or Terms, or creating an account does not enroll you in SMS messaging. SMS enrollment requires a separate affirmative action on our SMS signup form.
How your mobile number is used
The mobile phone number you provide through the optional SMS signup form is used only to operate the Ruchie Landau Photography SMS messaging program — to send you booking confirmations, photography session reminders, scheduling changes, and booking-related customer support messages.
The consent, or opt-in, information you provide is used solely to deliver the messaging service you requested and to keep a record demonstrating that you agreed to receive those messages.
What we never do
- We do not sell mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information.
- We do not rent mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in or consent information.
- We do not share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in or consent information with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
- We do not use your mobile number to send advertising, promotions, or newsletters.
Service providers
To deliver text messages we use a messaging service provider that transmits messages on our behalf, and mobile carriers deliver them to your phone. These providers may only process your information to deliver messages for us. They are not permitted to sell it or use it for their own marketing.
Your SMS choices
- Message frequency varies.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Reply STOP to any Ruchie Landau Photography text message at any time to unsubscribe.
- Reply HELP to any Ruchie Landau Photography text message for help.
- Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing, booking, creating an account, or using photography services.
- You may leave the SMS consent checkbox unchecked and continue using Ruchie Landau Photography without receiving SMS messages.
Who we are
Ruchie Landau Photography is operated by Wolf Landau, sole proprietor. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information in connection with this website (sms.ruchielandau.com) and our SMS messaging program.
This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices. It does not constitute consent to receive text messages. SMS consent is obtained separately through the optional SMS signup form.
What we collect
We keep the information we collect to a minimum.
- Information you provide. If you choose to sign up for text messages, we collect the mobile phone number you enter and a record of your consent, including the date and time it was given.
- Booking information. If you book a photography session, we collect the details you share with us in order to plan and deliver that session. Booking does not enroll you in SMS messaging.
- Basic technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard request information such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested, to keep the site running securely and reliably.
This website does not use advertising trackers, analytics pixels, or third-party marketing scripts.
How we use it
- To send the text messages you have separately signed up to receive.
- To confirm bookings, send session reminders, and let you know about scheduling changes if you have opted into SMS.
- To respond to your questions and provide customer support.
- To keep records of SMS consent and opt-out requests, as required for compliance.
- To operate, secure, and improve this website.
Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected. SMS consent and opt-out records are retained so we can show that a person agreed to receive messages and so we can honor unsubscribe requests. If you unsubscribe, we keep a record of that request so you are not messaged again.
Security
This website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
This website and the SMS messaging program are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can remove it.
Your choices
You may choose not to enroll in SMS at all and still book or use Ruchie Landau Photography services. If you do enroll, you may unsubscribe from text messages at any time by replying STOP to any Ruchie Landau Photography message, and reply HELP to any message for assistance. You may also ask us to correct or delete the information we hold about you — contact us using the details below.
