PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect various types of personal information when you use any of our websites, mobile sites, or mobile applications (our “Sites and Apps”); purchase any products or services from us; schedule an appointment to be photographed; visit or are photographed at one of our offices, studios, or on-site photography locations; engage with us, such as through one of our customer service representatives or on social media; sign up for notifications or register for customer rewards programs; access emails we send you; or complete a survey or enter a contest or sweepstakes that we sponsor. This information may be collected directly from you (for example, when you complete our forms or enter your information on our websites to make a purchase) or indirectly through your device or browser when you visit our Sites and Apps.

We use your information to fulfill product orders, to customize and improve the advertising and content you see, to offer suggestions for personalized products based on your content, to deliver marketing communications and promotional materials that you may be interested in, to contact you and provide customer service, to protect the security or integrity of our databases or websites, to detect and prevent fraud or illegal activity, to take precautions against liability, to detect and remediate violations of our Terms of Use or other misuse of our Sites and Apps, for internal operational purposes, and to develop and improve our products and services, including to train our algorithms, models, and products and services which may incorporate artificial intelligence or machine learning.

Our Sites and Apps may be linked on other websites or may contain links to other websites. Our Privacy Notice only applies to our Sites and Apps, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices, security standards, or content of other sites. You should check the privacy policies of those sites before providing your personal information to them.

PERSONAL INFORMATION AND PHOTOS

We don’t provide personally identifiable information and/or photos that are collected as part of our processes to anyone in exchange for money. We may use Media contained in the digital and physical products for our promotions, marketing material, portfolio, website and social media platforms after receiving express written permission from the subject, or responsible parent/guardian of the subject in case the subject is a minor.

We sometimes use third-party service providers to act on our behalf, for example shipping companies to help us deliver our services, fulfill your product orders, process payments, enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, deliver our advertisements, and to provide professional, marketing, security, and information technology services. These service providers are only allowed to use your information in connection with the specific service they provide on our behalf.

If we photograph you pursuant to a contract with your employer or school or other organization you are affiliated with, we may share your information with that organization as necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

We may be required to share your personal information in other, limited circumstances. For example, we may be required to share certain information to respond to a subpoena or similar judicial process, to comply with state, federal, or local laws, to protect the security or integrity of our databases or website, to take precautions against liability, in the event of a corporate reorganization or, to the extent required by law, to provide information to law enforcement agencies.

Additionally, your information may be transferred to another organization if, for example, we negotiate for or transfer the ownership or operation of the Sites and Apps because we have merged with or have been acquired by another organization, if we liquidate our assets, if there is a change in ownership control, or if there is a financing transaction. In those cases, the new company’s use of your information will still be subject to this Notice and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

PHOTO DATA RETENTION

The raw photos are retained for up to 12 months after the event and the processed photos are retained in the password protected albums for up to 5 years after the event, so that they can be retrieved if needed. The photos and albums can be deleted forever after receiving an express written request from the interested party. Once deleted, the photos will be completely erased, and they cannot be retrieved under any circumstances. Anyone interested in deleting the album can directly email us the request at kianahstudios1@gmail.com.

Although no website, application, database, or system is completely secure or “hacker proof,” we have safeguards in place to protect against unauthorized access and disclosures of the personal information we control, including technical, physical, and administrative safeguards and security measures. Despite these measures, however, we cannot guarantee that our information security safeguards will never be compromised.

KS retains your information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy or as needed to provide the Sites, Apps and associated services (Services) to you. If you no longer want KS to use your information to provide the Services to you, you may request us to delete your album by emailing us at kianahstudios1@gmail.com.
