1. Personal data that may be collected

Personal data may be collected when visitors interact with this website, including when the contact form is submitted.

Depending on how the website is used, the following personal data may be collected:

  • Name;

  • Email address;

  • The content of a message or enquiry;

  • Any other personal information voluntarily provided in a message or enquiry.

When contact is made by email, personal data contained in the email and any subsequent correspondence may also be processed.

Sensitive personal data is not intentionally collected through this website. Visitors are asked not to include sensitive or unnecessary personal information in contact form submissions or other communications.

2. How personal data may be used

Personal data may be used for the following purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries and messages;

  • To communicate about photography services or potential collaborations;

  • To provide information requested by a visitor or prospective client;

  • To manage and administer client relationships;

  • To arrange and provide photography services where applicable;

  • To maintain appropriate business records;

  • To comply with legal and accounting obligations;

  • To protect legal rights and legitimate business interests where necessary.

Personal data will only be processed for purposes that are compatible with the purpose for which it was collected or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

3. Legal basis for processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, personal data may be processed on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Consent, where consent has been provided for a specific purpose;

  • Performance of a contract, where processing is necessary to enter into or perform an agreement;

  • Legal obligation, where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation;

  • Legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the individual.

For example, when the contact form is submitted to enquire about photography services, the information provided may be processed in order to respond to the enquiry and, where relevant, take steps at the individual's request before entering into a contract.

4. Contact forms and Squarespace

This website is hosted and operated using Squarespace.

When a contact form is submitted, the information provided may be:

  • Sent to the designated email address so that the enquiry can be reviewed and responded to; and

  • Stored by Squarespace as a form submission or contact record through the "Form Submitters" functionality.

The information may be used to respond to enquiries and to manage potential or existing client relationships.

Squarespace acts as a service provider in connection with the operation and hosting of this website and the processing of information submitted through its platform.

Further information about how Squarespace processes personal data can be found in Squarespace's privacy documentation.

5. Website analytics

This website uses Squarespace Analytics to obtain aggregated information about website traffic and engagement.

Depending on the visitor's cookie preferences, analytics and performance cookies may be used to provide information about how the website is used, including information such as visits and traffic sources.

Analytics and performance cookies are non-essential cookies and are only used where the relevant consent has been provided through the website's cookie consent mechanism.

Cookie preferences can be managed or changed at any time through the "Cookie Preferences" option available on the website.

6. Google Search Console

Google Search Console is used to monitor the technical performance and visibility of this website in Google Search results.

The service may provide information about how the website is indexed and displayed in search results. Google Search Console is not used through this website as a tool for creating individual visitor profiles or conducting behavioural advertising.

7. Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and to remember certain preferences. These cookies are always active because they are necessary for the operation of the website.

Non-essential cookies, including performance and analytics cookies, are subject to consent where required by applicable law.

Further information is available in the Cookie Policy.

8. Data retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Information submitted through the contact form may be retained for as long as necessary to respond to an enquiry and manage any potential relationship.

Where an enquiry results in a client relationship, personal data may be retained for the duration of that relationship and for any additional period required by applicable legal, accounting or tax obligations.

The applicable retention period may therefore depend on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is processed.

9. Sharing of personal data

Personal data is not sold or rented to third parties.

Personal data may be shared with service providers where necessary to operate the business and website, including:

  • Squarespace, as the website hosting and platform provider;

  • Email service providers used to receive and manage correspondence;

  • Professional advisers, where necessary;

  • Public authorities or other parties where required by law.

Where third-party service providers process personal data on behalf of the business, reasonable measures are taken to ensure that such processing is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

10. International transfers

Some service providers used in connection with the website or business may process personal data outside Norway or the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the EEA or another jurisdiction that does not provide an adequate level of protection, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection law.

11. Data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, individuals may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal data held about them;

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;

  • Request deletion of personal data;

  • Request restriction of processing;

  • Object to certain processing activities;

  • Request data portability where applicable;

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Requests concerning data protection rights may be submitted using the contact details provided below.

Individuals also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) if they believe that personal data has been processed in violation of applicable data protection law.

12. Data security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are taken to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Third-party websites

This website may contain links to external websites, including social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.

When a link to a third-party website is followed, that website will be governed by its own privacy policy and terms.

Loida Quer is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites.
