Your privacy is very important. Accordingly, this Policy has been developed in order for you to understand how I collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information. The following outlines the privacy policy for this website; www.philjackson-avantifoto.co.uk and governs the privacy of its visitors and it explains how I comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act (DPA):
Before or at the time of collecting personal information, I will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.
I will collect and use of personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified and for other compatible purposes, unless I obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law. I will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes.
I will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned. Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
I will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
I am committed to conducting my business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize its pages, a cookie helps my website to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
