Privacy Policy

Last updated November 10, 2026.

Billings Photography is Rick Billings, a photographer working on location around Winter Garden, Florida. This page says what this website learns about you, what I do with it, and who else handles it. "I" and "me" mean Rick Billings.

What I collect

When you book a session: your name, email address, mobile phone number, what the session is for, where you would like to be photographed, and anything you add in the notes.
When you send a message: your name, your email address, and what you write. A phone number if you choose to give one.
When you pay: your payment is taken on Stripe's own page. Your card number never reaches this website and I never see it. I receive the amount, the date, and Stripe's reference for the payment.
When you visit: the page you opened, the website you came from, whether you are on a phone, tablet or computer, and any campaign tag on the link you followed. To count visitors without knowing who they are, the site makes a scrambled code from your internet address and browser that changes every day and cannot be turned back into either.
The photographs themselves: pictures of you, your family, your team or your event are personal information too. They are covered below.

How I use it

To arrange, confirm and carry out your session, and to send your confirmation, calendar invite and reminders.
To answer your questions.
To set up your private album and the credits that come with your session.
To see which pages and which flyers, cards and links bring people to the site, so I can improve it.
To keep the records a business has to keep, such as what was paid and when.

I do not sell your information, and I do not give it to anyone for their own advertising.

Who else handles it

I use a small number of companies to run the business. Each one receives only what it needs for its part:

Stripe takes payments.
Resend delivers the emails this site sends.
Hostinger hosts the website and its database.
Cloudinary and Cloudflare store and deliver the pictures shown on the site.
PhotoMart.ai holds your album, your credits, your downloads and your print orders. It is my own company, and it has its own privacy policy at photomart.ai.
Google may measure visits to the site through Google Analytics.

I may also have to share information if the law requires it.

Your photographs

Your album is private. Event and team galleries are opened with a passcode given to the people who took part.
I may show photographs I have made on this website, in my portfolio and in my own marketing. If you would rather I did not use yours, tell me before or after your session and I will leave them out or take them down.
Photographs of children are made only with a parent, guardian, school or league arranging the session or the event. A parent or guardian can ask me at any time to remove a child's picture from the website or a gallery.

Cookies

This site uses very few. One remembers which shared link brought you here. One keeps staff signed in to the admin area. Your light or dark colour choice is remembered in your browser. Google Analytics, when it is on, sets its own cookies to count visits. You can block cookies in your browser and the site will still work.

How long I keep it

Booking and payment records are kept for as long as tax and business records must be. Messages are kept while they are useful for answering you. Visit counts are kept as totals, without names. Albums stay available so that you can come back for your pictures.

Your choices

Ask me what I hold about you, and ask me to correct it or delete it. I will, except for records I am required to keep.
Ask me to remove a photograph of you or your child from the website or a gallery.
Stop any email that is not about a session you have booked, by using the unsubscribe link in it or by telling me.

Children

This website is for adults arranging photography. It is not meant for children under 13 to use on their own, and I do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date at the top.
