We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how Maron Stills collects, uses, stores and protects your personal information when you visit this website, contact us, book a photography service or otherwise work with us.

Collection of your information

We may collect personal information including:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Billing information

  • Payment and invoice details

  • Information submitted through contact forms or email

  • Information necessary to prepare and carry out a photography assignment

  • Photographs and other visual material in which you may be identifiable

  • Technical information collected through the website and cookies, where applicable

You are under no obligation to provide personal information. However, choosing not to provide certain information may prevent us from responding to your enquiry or providing our services.

Use of your information

We may use your information to:

  • Respond to enquiries

Legal basis for processing

We process personal information on the following grounds:

  • Legal obligation — invoicing, tax and financial administration

  • Legitimate interest — maintaining and protecting our website and services, and our business administration

  • Consent — non-essential cookies, and any use of your image beyond what has been agreed

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Sharing of your information

We do not sell your personal information.

Where necessary, information may be processed by trusted service providers used for our business, such as website hosting, email, cloud storage, online galleries, payment services or accounting. We only share personal information where necessary to provide our services, comply with a legal obligation or where you have given permission.

Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Some of our service providers are established outside the EEA, including in the United States and Canada. Where personal information is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as European Commission adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses. You may request further information about these safeguards using the contact details below.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies to ensure that it functions correctly and to understand how it is used. Where required by law, you will be asked for your consent before non-essential or tracking cookies are placed on your device.

Retention of your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where we are legally required to retain it.

  • Financial and administrative records are retained for 7 years in accordance with Dutch tax requirements

  • Unedited (raw) image files are retained for three months after delivery, after which they are deleted, in accordance with our terms and conditions

  • Selected and edited work may be retained as part of our photographic archive, in accordance with the agreements made with you

Security of your information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Use of photographs

Where photographs are used for our portfolio, website, social media or publications, this is done in accordance with the agreements made with you and with applicable portrait rights. Where a photograph shows an identifiable person, publication by us takes place only with that person's consent, unless the law provides otherwise.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, object to certain processing, or request the transfer of your data where applicable. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
